Songpa-gu 'Jamsil Station 3D Address Advancement Project' Wins 'Grand Prize' at Seoul Land and Spatial Information Conference

‘Nation’s First’ Legal Address Assigned to Underground Space Demonstrates Excellence... Park Seong-su, Songpa District Mayor, “Presenting New Possibilities for Address Use, Will Link and Expand with 4th Industrial Revolution”

Jamsil Station Underground Three-Dimensional Address

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) announced that its project, the first of its kind nationwide, titled ‘Advancement and Activation of the Jamsil Station 3D Address System,’ recently won first place in the spatial information category and received the grand prize at the ‘2021 Land and Spatial Information Seoul Conference.’

The ‘2021 Land and Spatial Information Seoul Conference’ (hereafter, the Conference), hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, was organized to share real estate market trends and professional knowledge among autonomous districts and to revitalize related industries. At the conference held on December 6, each district presented outstanding cases and ideas related to land and spatial information, followed by a forum with direct expert participation.

Songpa-gu participated in this conference with the theme ‘Advancement and Activation of the Jamsil Station 3D Address System.’

At the event, the district was highly recognized for its innovative achievement of being the first nationwide to assign legal addresses to the underground space of Jamsil Station, developing a standard indoor navigation model utilizing address information, and presenting new possibilities for address utilization, earning the grand prize.

Previously, in 2020, the district promoted the introduction and activation of 3D addresses and proposed standards for setting and assigning 3D addresses to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. This proposal was reflected in the full revision of the Road Name Address Act in June 2021, introducing the concept of assigning addresses to underground facilities that previously had no addresses.

In 2021, the district took a further step by solidifying the 3D address system and developing and demonstrating a concrete standard model for indoor navigation using address utilization. Through this, the district recently became the first nationwide to assign addresses to underground facilities, granting road name addresses such as ‘Jamsil Station Central Passage’ and ‘Jamsil Station Exit 10 Line’ to the entire underground space of Jamsil Station.

The district produced address information facilities using photoluminescent materials to ensure identification during disasters or power outages, and displayed QR codes and AR (Augmented Reality) markers alongside addresses, enabling industrial linkage expansion and service diversification.

Through this newly established 3D address system, location-based services became possible even in underground spaces where GPS reception is impossible. This laid the foundation for supporting the 4th industrial revolution by enabling location realization of recognized places using spatial information, route guidance and autonomous movement support using address information, and management of large underground parking lots.

At the conference, six final autonomous districts were selected through a first evaluation by the Seoul City Land Management Division and Spatial Information Officer, a 5-minute speech, and expert Q&A and judging for the second evaluation. Among these, Songpa-gu was honored as the grand prize winner by combining real-time online votes from employees of Seoul’s 25 autonomous districts with the results of the second evaluation.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “It is meaningful that our district’s project, the first nationwide ‘Advancement and Activation of the Jamsil Station 3D Address System,’ has once again been recognized for its success as a new model in the spatial information field. We will continue to develop address utilization methods, link and expand them with the 4th industrial revolution, and do our best to provide diverse services.”
