Gwanak-gu Creates a Safe Address Information Facility Environment for Residents

Comprehensive Survey of 37,039 Address Information Facilities Including Road Name Plates and Building Number Plates
Improving Urban Aesthetics and Enhancing Wayfinding Convenience through Replacement of Old Building Number Plates and Installation of Pedestrian Road Name Plates

Accurate 'location information' is an essential factor for prompt response in emergencies occurring in alleys, trails, and other areas.

Accordingly, Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) will conduct a comprehensive survey and maintenance of address information facilities by November to create a safe living environment for residents.

This 'comprehensive survey and maintenance' will be carried out through an on-site full inspection of a total of 37,039 address information facilities (▲street name signs ▲building number plates ▲object address plates ▲basic number plates ▲national point number plates).

The main inspection items include safety, damage, and loss status, and the district plans to perform maintenance or new installations based on the inspection results.

Additionally, to enhance pedestrian convenience, the district will expand pedestrian street name signs at intersections and side streets, and install multilingual pedestrian street name signs in English, Chinese, Japanese, and other languages to accommodate multicultural families and foreign tourists.

This is expected to contribute to improving the urban landscape and enhancing wayfinding convenience for residents and tourists.

Along with this, the district will also inspect and replace building number plates that have passed their durability period (10 years) and are difficult to identify.

Building owners who wish to replace their building number plates can apply to the Gwanak-gu Office Real Estate Information Division by attaching a photo of the building number plate. However, loss caused by user negligence or building interior decoration is excluded from the scope.

Furthermore, the district continuously accepts inconvenience reports from residents. For more details, please contact the Gwanak-gu Office Real Estate Information Division.

A district official stated, “We hope this 'comprehensive survey and maintenance of address information facilities' will help residents accurately identify their locations on the road,” and added, “We will do our best to create an address information facility environment that allows residents to live safely and conveniently through systematic management.”
