Damyang-gun Launches Road Name Address Promotion Campaign for Visits to Traditional Markets

Distribution of Leaflets and Promotional Items to Traditional Market Visitors for Chuseok

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 13th that it held a road name address promotion campaign by visiting traditional markets such as Damyang Market and Daejeon Market to celebrate Chuseok.

To strengthen communication with residents, which had been lacking due to COVID-19, the county distributed leaflets and road name address promotional items to visitors who came to the traditional markets on the 7th and 8th, and held an event where they could write their home road name addresses themselves.

In particular, explanations about the expanded object addresses, which were additionally expanded by the full revision of the Road Name Address Act in June 2021, were provided to inform about the changing address system in daily life.

Object addresses refer to assigning road name addresses not to buildings but to facilities and spaces such as parks, bus stops, and outdoor earthquake evacuation sites. This resolves blind spots in the road name address system and has the advantage of providing accurate location information in emergencies, enabling rapid response.

A county official said, “We plan to focus on providing visiting road name address education to high school students in the county during September, designated as the road name address promotion month,” and added, “We will continue promotional activities so that residents can become more familiar with road name addresses in their daily lives.”
