Muan County in South Jeolla Province is actively promoting road name addressing at local festivals. Following the Lotus Festival at Hoisan Baengnyeonji, the county recently engaged in on-site promotion during the Muan Yellow Clay Tidal Flat Festival, focusing on educating visitors about the proper use of road name addresses.
On September 7, Muan County announced that it conducted on-site promotional activities for road name addressing at the Muan Yellow Clay Tidal Flat Festival, targeting both tourists and local residents.
This initiative aims to leverage the large crowds at popular regional festivals to convey the necessity and practical use of road name addressing in a more accessible and familiar manner.
The county organized an online event titled 'Reading Road Name Addressing Promotion Card News' at the festival, allowing visitors to easily access address information and its applications through their smartphones.
Promotional materials and leaflets related to road name addressing were distributed on-site. Staff members explained the relevant system to tourists, guiding them on how to utilize address information in their daily lives.
Muan County is committed to ongoing promotion, not limiting itself to a one-time event, and plans to continue reaching out to festival-goers to raise awareness about road name addressing.
Previously, the county conducted similar promotional activities during the Lotus Festival at Hoisan Baengnyeonji, expanding its outreach to the Muan Yellow Clay Tidal Flat Festival.
The road name addressing system is evolving from a focus on buildings to encompass various living spaces. Address information is now being assigned to multi-level roads, parks, and parking lots to enable more accurate location identification. The county is also working on enhancing the address system to improve disaster safety and daily convenience through the establishment of indoor spatial information.
Lee Seung-myung, head of the Muan County Civil Complaints and Land Information Division, stated, “It was a meaningful time to effectively promote road name addressing to the many tourists visiting the Muan Yellow Clay Tidal Flat Festival. We will continue to make efforts through various events and promotional activities to ensure that residents can use road name addressing more conveniently and increase their interest.”
Meanwhile, Muan County plans to continue on-site promotions linked to local events that attract visitors, moving away from a government-centered approach to directly informing residents and tourists about road name addressing and its applications.
