This is to overcome the limitations of the existing address system, which was limited to buildings or objects, and to provide safe and convenient address administration by assigning addresses to natural spaces as well.

Previously, natural spaces such as walking trails, hiking trails, and parks did not have road name addresses, making it difficult to accurately identify locations. Now, by assigning road name addresses to natural spaces, a safer and more efficient environment will be provided.

Once road name addresses are assigned, destinations can be easily found through smartphone maps or navigation systems. For example, precise addresses such as 'A Walking Trail Zone 1' or 'B Hiking Trail Zone 2' will be given, and address information facilities will be installed nearby, making location identification even easier.

In particular, in case of emergencies, rescue teams or ambulances can quickly identify the exact location and arrive at the scene, allowing residents and tourists to enjoy Yangpyeong more safely. Rapid response will be possible even in mountainous or remote areas, further strengthening Yangpyeong's safety network.

Jeon Jin-seon, Governor of Yangpyeong-gun, said, “Through this assignment of road name addresses, we have started an important change to enhance the safety and convenience of residents,” and added, “We will continue various efforts for advanced address administration in Yangpyeong.”
