Gwonseon-gu Utilizes SNS for Road Name Address Promotion

Gwonseon-gu, Suwon City is flexibly providing an administrative service since May that rapidly and accurately tweets road name addresses of daily life-oriented government offices and public institutions on new media to increase the population using new media and secure diverse communication channels with citizens.

Road name addresses assign names to roads and systematically assign building numbers to buildings according to roads, gaining legal effect following the nationwide simultaneous announcement in 2011.

Furthermore, they will be used in parallel through 2013, and official use of road name addresses will begin from January 1, 2014.

Gwonseon-gu tweets road name addresses of daily life-oriented government offices and public institutions every week via Twitter (Gwonseon-gu Comprehensive Civil Petition Division @kwunsun_minwon) through "SNS (Tweet)-Road Name ONE Click Communication" to enhance the usage of road name addresses.

Additionally, to facilitate early settlement, the district tweets approximately 530 road name addresses of government offices and other institutions, and promotes them by adding the search site 'www.juso.go.kr', image files, and search periods to make it easier for residents to search for road name addresses of their homes.

The district plans to additionally tweet in June regarding inquiries received during May's "SNS (Tweet)-Road Name ONE Click Communication," including inquiries about English and Chinese character notation methods for road name addresses and road name addresses of clinics and hospitals.
