Abstract
Present address system in korea was originally applied as a lot number system for the purpose of collecting taxes since 1910's, which has been changed irregularly by development of the urban areas. This unreasonable address system has disadvantaged the social welfare and the industrial structure, such as visiting, communication, delivery, sightseeing, marketing, transportation, etc. Therefore the new system, which would be rational and scientific, has been deeply demanded for the better services of spatial information and administrative efficiency of government. Korean government has launched the new address project as part of strengthening measures for national competitiveness since 1996. This paper would discuss the grant scheme of road name and building number in Cheongju city and evaluate the construction process of the new address management system.
