Installation of 10 'National Point Number Plates' for Location Guidance on Seoul Grand Park Walking Trails

Utilization in Life-Saving and Rescue Operations During Emergencies

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Seoul Grand Park announced on the 15th that it has installed 10 'National Point Number Plates' on the main trails (Elephant Train Circular Route) that can provide accurate location information to the police and fire departments in case of emergencies during day and night.

This trail, which connects the Seoul Grand Park subway station to the zoo and Seoul Land and also circles a reservoir, is a place where many citizens enjoy walking at night and visitors return home.

The National Point Number system is a unified location marking system established by the government, replacing the previously separate systems used by fire departments, police, and other agencies. It represents coordinates for non-residential areas such as forests and marine regions. It is useful for quick location guidance and rescue operations during emergencies such as disasters and accidents, and the number of institutions using the National Point Number Plates is steadily increasing.

The National Point Number Plates installed at Seoul Grand Park use solar power instead of lighting to ensure the plates are clearly visible even at night. In response to the normalization of COVID-19, phrases encouraging 'wearing masks in daily life' were also included to help citizens follow health guidelines while using the outdoor park.

The park officials stated, "It is difficult to accurately identify locations at night with only streetlights, so we installed the National Point Number Plates for the safety of citizens," and added, "We will continue to create a safe park where both local residents and visitors can enjoy comfortably."
