[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Outdoor activities for residents of Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City have become much safer.
Gwangsan-gu (Mayor Kim Samho) announced on the 29th that it has installed national grid reference number plates at 16 hiking trails including Malmisan and Geumbongsan.
The national grid reference number indicates the location in areas without buildings such as mountains, fields, and seas using a grid coordinate system consisting of 2 Korean letters and 8 digits.
This system was introduced in 2013 to quickly identify and respond to locations in case of various accidents or emergencies.
Gwangsan-gu currently manages 113 national grid reference number plates installed along 6 hiking trails by the end of this year.
