Busan Gijang-gun is conducting a free replacement project for lost or damaged building number plates until October to provide accurate location guidance for road name addresses and improve urban aesthetics.


The county has identified that some building number plates installed following the full implementation of road name addresses have become discolored and faded due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, rendering them ineffective. Therefore, the county is investing funds to begin a full-scale replacement.


This year's project covers a total of 1,108 units, with the first phase currently underway for 576 locations. The second phase, covering 532 locations, will proceed after securing additional budget. Furthermore, damaged or lost building number plates will be surveyed annually, and areas with a high number of such cases will be prioritized for sequential replacement.


This maintenance project replaces the existing embossed and debossed film-cut number plates with building number plates that have double-layered semi-permanent films attached, ensuring that the stickers applied after maintenance do not easily peel off and preventing damage in advance.

However, building number plates that have not reached their durability period (10 years) or those damaged or lost due to user negligence, such as failure to attach plates after remodeling, are excluded from the replacement target.



A Gijang-gun official stated, “We will actively support the convenient use of road name addresses by residents and create a pleasant urban environment through the replacement of aged building number plates.”
