On July 22, Seongnam City announced that it had completed a comprehensive inspection of address information facilities in 2026 and would implement follow-up measures for facilities identified as needing maintenance based on the survey results.


This survey covered all address information facilities in the city, including road name signs, building number plates, basic number plates, and object address plates. The city thoroughly checked the installation status, accuracy of notation, appropriateness of location, and whether any of the 65,450 facilities were lost or damaged.


The results showed that 3,373 facilities (about 5.1% of the total) were either missing or damaged.


Based on the inspection results, the city plans to sequentially repair and replace address information facilities that require maintenance by the end of this year, while also continuously managing aging facilities.


In addition, the city plans to strengthen the maintenance and management system for address information facilities to enable citizens to access more accurate address information. Efforts will also be made to establish an address environment that supports prompt on-site response by relevant agencies, such as the police and fire departments, during disasters or emergencies.



A Seongnam City official stated, "Through this comprehensive survey, we closely examined the current management of address information facilities," adding, "We will continue field-focused inspections and systematic maintenance to ensure citizens can use address information safely and conveniently."
