Yeosu City Installs Smart National Location Number Plates

32 National Point Number Plates Installed on Major Hiking Trails

Securing Golden Time for Rapid Location Identification in Emergencies

On the 26th, Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong) announced that it has newly installed 32 'Smart National Point Number Plates' on major hiking trails.

The 'National Point Number' is a location identification number that marks every point on the entire national territory divided into 10-meter intervals horizontally and vertically, with 2 letters and 8 digits, enabling accurate location information provision.

Accordingly, in non-residential areas without buildings such as mountains and rivers, in case of an emergency, if the national point number is reported to fire stations or police stations, the exact location can be quickly identified.

Previously, since 2017, Yeosu City has installed and managed a total of 160 national point number plates on 14 hiking trails within the jurisdiction, including Bonghwasan, Goraksan, and Ansimsan, and this time, a total of 32 national point number plates were additionally installed on Aengmusan, Baekhosan, Gaedo, and Bonghwasan.

In particular, the recently installed plates are smart national point number plates; when the QR code is scanned with a mobile phone camera, the point number of the location is automatically entered into the phone, allowing for quick sending of rescue request messages in emergencies.

A city official stated, “We will actively consider installing new plates in non-residential areas with frequent citizen traffic where national point number plates are needed. Along with this, we will do our best to thoroughly maintain the system to ensure there are no disruptions in the rescue system during emergencies.”
