Geochang County Conducts Comprehensive Inspection of Address Information Facilities to Prevent Safety Accidents

Inspection of 32,584 Facilities to Be Conducted by June

Geochang County in South Gyeongsang Province will conduct a comprehensive inspection of address information facilities installed within its jurisdiction by June 2026.

This comprehensive inspection is a mandatory annual survey conducted at least once a year in accordance with the Road Name Address Act. It is intended to proactively maintain and repair aging address information facilities to prevent safety accidents, such as falling installations, and to improve convenience in address usage.

This year, a total of 32,584 facilities will be inspected, including 5,084 road name signs, 26,238 building number plates, 1,249 base number plates, and 13 local information boards. The inspection will focus on whether the facilities are missing or damaged, whether the notations are appropriate, and whether the visibility is secured.

Based on the inspection results, facilities that pose an immediate risk, such as a risk of falling, will be addressed on-site immediately. Abnormal facilities, such as those missing, damaged, or with notation errors, will be subject to follow-up measures through re-maintenance within the year.

Heo Donghyun, Head of the Civil Affairs Communication Division, stated, "Address information facilities are not only used to indicate locations, but also serve as an essential foundation for responding to emergencies directly related to the lives of our residents." He added, "We will do our utmost to ensure that residents can use road name addresses more accurately and conveniently through systematic inspections and prompt maintenance."
