The sections that received new road names are the Seodo section and the Jungdo-Namdo section of Jaraseom, which have been named "Jaraseom Mul-gil" and "Jaraseom Kkot-gil," respectively. The names were finalized after collecting opinions through a survey of local residents and all county office employees, followed by deliberation by the Address Information Committee.

This measure is expected to significantly improve the accuracy of location guidance services for tourists participating in various events, including the Jaraseom Flower Festival.

Gapyeong County has also assigned road name addresses to major facilities within Jaraseom and installed 14 building number plates and 41 streetlight base number plates. In particular, the newly installed plates are made with phosphorescent materials for excellent nighttime visibility, enabling more accurate and faster location reporting to 112 or 119 in case of emergencies.

A Gapyeong County official stated, "The assignment of these road names is part of efforts to improve the tourism environment of Jaraseom, with a focus on ensuring the safety and convenience of visitors," and added, "We will continue to upgrade our smart tourism infrastructure through ongoing address information maintenance."
