About Pyeong

A pyeong (평) is the traditional Korean unit of floor area, equal to approximately 3.306 m² - historically derived from the Japanese tsubo, with which it shares the same value. Despite South Korea officially adopting square meters, pyeong remains deeply embedded in Korean real estate culture. Apartment listings in Seoul and Busan still commonly advertise sizes in pyeong, and a typical Korean family apartment is around 25-33 pyeong. One pyeong equals approximately 35.58 square feet.

About Bighas

A bigha is a traditional South Asian land area unit used across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, with its size varying significantly by region. The standardised pucca bigha (common in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar) equals 3,025 square yards (approximately 2,529 m²). In West Bengal it is approximately 1,337 m², in Rajasthan around 1,618 m², and in Nepal over 6,773 m². Despite metrification, bigha remains the dominant land measurement in rural India. When dealing with legal or property matters, always verify the local definition, as regional variants differ substantially.
