The county finalized the road names after collecting residents' opinions and deliberation by the Address Information Committee.

The county assigned road name addresses last year to farm roads and vinyl greenhouses in the Sangil-ri area of Hwajeong-myeon to resolve difficulties in agricultural product transactions and manpower transportation due to unclear addresses, and to enable rapid emergency rescue activities based on road name addresses in case of emergencies during farming work.

In particular, the county has built data to provide convenience by making it easy to find directions through Naver and Kakao map apps, as well as the T map app.

The second location to be assigned a road name this time is a facility greenhouse complex in Jijeong-myeon, which will be named "Ocheon-deul" to allow users to easily verify the address information of the location, and road name plates will be installed by October.

The county’s project of assigning road names to farm roads and vinyl greenhouses has swept various awards last year and this year, becoming a representative innovative excellence case in South Korea. In particular, it received excellent evaluations as a proactive and innovative policy case from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and won awards in several categories.

In November last year, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety selected this project as an excellent case in the "Resident Life Innovation Case Expansion Support Project" and awarded the "Innovation Champion Plaque." In February this year, it was presented as a representative case of innovatively improving residents’ inconveniences when the county was selected as an excellent institution for three consecutive years in the "2022 Local Government Innovation Evaluation." The Ministry of the Interior and Safety stated that this project received high scores in categories such as project performance, resident perception, and potential for expansion.

County Governor Oh Tae-wan said, “This was a result of communication administration that listened to the inconveniences in the daily lives of the residents. We will further discover and boldly implement innovative policies that residents can feel.”

The county plans to expand the project scope to all towns and townships after gauging the response of local farmers.
