The current address system has been used since the enactment of "Resident Registration Act" in 1962 that stipulated that lot numbers should be reported as addresses. However, land has been used densely according to the increase of population, urbanization, and the complexity of urban structures, which resulted in the irrationality in numbering land lots. Moreover, the dual address system which consists of legal address system and administrative address system causes inconveniences to residents and inefficiency in administrative operation.
In recognition of the problems, the government has set about formulating a new address system since 1996 with the objectives of tackling the problems in the current address system and managing systematically and efficiently various urban infrastructure and information such as roads, gas pipes, communication, sewerage, disaster prevention, emergency aids, and promoting the people' convenience and well-being. Six local governments carried out demonstration projects in 1997 and since then, 107 local governments have completed or is carrying out demonstration projects as of the end of 2000. It is expected that every city will complete the project by 2003 and nationwide by 2009. Despite four years have passed since the new address making project was started, the project is progressing slowly due to the lack of the people's consciousness and financial shortage. In other words, the people's sympathy for the importance of the project has not been roused.
The study examined foreign systems to draw out implications for giving names to roads and numbers to buildings. The study also estimated expenses necessary for each stage of the project and, based on it, analyzed the project's socio-economic effects on
production, employment and the adoption of IT technology to help local governments promote the project efficiently. The survey of the people's awareness of the project was carried out and the result was considered when establishing action plans. The study aimed to formulate measures for the efficient promotion of the project, the estimation of the project cost against socio-economic effects, and the utilization of the results. The study also tried to suggest a long-term perspective and measures to rouse the people's sympathy. In particular, the study suggests methods to give road names and building numbers in rural areas in addition to improvement measures and directions.
Chapter 1, explains the purpose, background, scope and process of the study.
Chapter 2, examines the status and problems of the address system and surveyed the people's consciousness of the address system. Residents living in the 6 areas where demonstration projects have been carried out were surveyed in terms of their consciousness of the current and new address systems. Foreign address systems and the status and problems of the project were examined.
Chapter 3, examined tasks to be done in each stage and explained briefly tasks in each stage such as road networking, basic survey and giving roads names, the manufacturing and installing of road name and building number plates, database building, development and establishment of systems, manufacture of basic maps and guide maps, etc. Expenses for each stage were also estimated based on consultation and document review.
It is estimated that the project will need about 248.6 billion won in total and among the amount, the cost for manufacturing and installing road name and building number plates is about 137 billion won, which accounts for 55.1% of the total cost. The basic survey including the survey of building location and the survey of main entrances is estimated to cost about 40 billion won, while the job of database building will need about 32 billion won.
The number of employees necessary to carry out the project is estimated to be about 2.4 million persons a year, which will cost about 82 billion won. The basic survey, attachment of building number plates, and adjustment of road names will require employees the most as many as 17 million persons, which accounts for 71% of the total
number of employees.
Chapter 4, analyzed the economic effects of the new address project. The effects will be created in two ways: one is through employment and production resulting from equipment purchase and the other is through the utilization of new addresses.
E-commerce and door-to-door delivery firms will experience the increase of orders and the reduction in logistics costs and congestion costs.
The public sector including firefighting, disaster prevention and security can utilize the databases and systems created by the new address project to avoid overlaps in investment. Foreign visitors, civilians and firms will be able to save the cost to search locations, which will lead to the enhancement of the national image, the reduction of inconvenience in daily lives, and the increase of production. It will also contribute to the availability of various value-added information through the promotion of localized IT technology and the creation of local cultures. When assuming that the total cost of 248.5 billion won for the new address project is invested in manufacturing and service sectors, it is expected to create 434.9 billion won of production-inducing effects, 13,487 jobs and 183.9 billion won of value-added-inducing effects.
The economic effects to be created by utilizing new addresses will be 80.4 billion won in 2001, 117.8 billion won in 2002, 161.2 billion won in 2003 and 270 billion won in 2005.
After 2005, the economic effect is expected to exceed the total project cost. Therefore, when the new address project is delayed, the opportunity cost will increase rapidly in accordance with the growth rate of the economy and the accumulated amount will be 840 billion won in 2005.
Chapter 5 provides conclusions and policy recommendations. Policy recommendations are 1) the gap in informatization between urban and rural areas should be reduced; 2) the new address system should enable to provide information necessary for daily lives such as accommodation, tourist information, and indigenous products through the activation of e-commerce and geographical information; and finally 3) the linkage of the public sector should be strengthened. The new address system should be linke to firefighting, postal service, security and disaster prevention to avoid overlaps in public investment and to keep and renew data at minimum cost.
