Ulsan Ulju-gun Has Many 'Samuljuso' Addresses

Expansion of Facility Location Marking Using Road Names for Disaster Safety Accident Preparedness

Ulju-gun Government Office. Ulju-gun assigns object addresses to facilities and other structures rather than buildings.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The "object address," which displays the location of facilities along with road name addresses, will be expanded and assigned throughout Ulju-gun, Ulsan.

Ulju-gun announced on the 3rd that it will expand object addresses to various facilities by the end of this year to enable prompt response in case of disasters and safety accidents.

The targets include 177 public restrooms, 4 drowsiness rest areas, and 14 earthquake and tsunami evacuation shelters.

Road name addresses are only assigned to buildings, so when safety accidents occur at frequently used facilities or during passage, it was often difficult to explain the location when requesting emergency rescue or using the place as a meeting point. Facilities without road name addresses have been using the road name addresses of nearby buildings, causing inconvenience as the exact location could not be identified in emergencies.

Object addresses indicate the location of various facilities using road name addresses rather than buildings, allowing residents to easily identify the location of facilities through maps and navigation systems.

Ulju-gun has prioritized assigning object addresses to facilities and places closely related to daily life. Object addresses have already been assigned to 2 overpass elevators, 1 riverside parking lot, 61 outdoor earthquake evacuation shelters, 1,384 bus stops, and 15 taxi stands.

For example, the "Myeongseongyo Overpass Elevator" is assigned as "Seosaeng-myeon Jinha Beach-gil 15 Overpass Elevator," and the "Ulju-gun Office Entrance Taxi Stand" is assigned as "Cheongnyang-eup Guncheong-ro 7 Taxi Stand."

Once the project is completed, providing accurate location information during reports of missing persons or crimes will secure the golden time for rescue, and cost reduction effects in facility management are expected due to the establishment of the address system.

The head of the Civil Complaints and Cadastral Division of Ulju-gun said, "It has been difficult to identify locations in areas without an address system, making prompt response to disasters and safety accidents challenging," and added, "We will continue to assign object addresses to location information blind spots to protect the safety of residents."
