Bucheon City Installs Detailed Address Plates at 1,073 Locations... Easier Identification of Individual Unit Numbers

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on July 30 that it has installed detailed address plates at 1,073 locations, including single-family homes and multi-family residences in densely populated housing areas such as Sosabon-dong, Simgokbon-dong, and Wonmi-dong.

A detailed address refers to the numbers assigned to distinguish independent residential or activity spaces inside a building, such as the building (dong) number, floor, and unit number.

The city installed detailed address plates to help building users, postal and delivery workers, and emergency response agencies more easily identify individual unit numbers.

In addition, for households in crisis and those in welfare blind spots where address information is poor, more accurate location information is provided to support rapid rescue and linkage to welfare services in emergencies, thus reinforcing the basis for the use of address information.

Going forward, the city plans to continue assigning detailed addresses ex officio and installing detailed address plates for single-family homes, multi-family residences, and studio apartments (one-rooms) that do not have such addresses registered in the building ledger.

An official from Bucheon City stated, "In dense urban building clusters, it is difficult to confirm individual unit numbers, which presents challenges for rapid response in emergencies," adding, "We will continue to expand the installation of detailed address plates to provide accurate location information."
