Doctor of Road Names 'Dorongi' and Wise Wayfinding Life... Guro-gu Opens Nation's First Road Name Address Promotion and Education Blog View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] “Ask Dorongi, the Road Name Doctor, all your questions about road name addresses!”


Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) has launched and officially started operating the ‘Road Name Doctor’s Getting Lost Escape Project’ Naver blog to promote and educate about road name addresses.


Guro-gu has been conducting education for elementary school students and outreach promotional activities every year to encourage the use of road name addresses. However, this year, due to COVID-19, face-to-face promotion and education became difficult. Accordingly, they opened a blog to carry out the previously paused promotion and education more diversely and richly online.


The storyteller in charge of promotion and education on the Guro-gu road name address blog is a fictional character named ‘Road Name Doctor Dorongi.’


Dorongi uses various videos and materials to guide basic and advanced classes on road name addresses, road name address maps and booklets, the origin of Guro-gu place names, and Guro-gu hot places.


The basic class introduces fundamental knowledge about road name addresses, including the background of their introduction, principles of assignment, building numbers and detailed address applications, and object addresses.


The advanced class informs about global address systems, survey results related to road name addresses, statistical stories of road name addresses in numbers, and the importance of location information in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution.


Additionally, the blog shares the origin of Guro-gu place names to foster residents’ affection for their hometown and introduces Guro-gu attractions to blog visitors through the Hot Places board.


The blog address is https://blog.naver.com/road_docter. You can easily find it by searching ‘Road Name Doctor Dorongi’ in the Naver search bar.



A Guro-gu official said, “The establishment of the road name address promotion and education blog is a project first attempted nationwide by Guro-gu,” and added, “We hope residents visit the blog to resolve various questions about road name addresses.”
