A definition of the word "address" is a legal base of life, and it represents the place that people live in. Also corporations and companies register their sites with addresses.
Present Korean address system results from the land lot number system that Japanese government had made to collect taxes and to take charge of the land in 1910s.
With the land lot number system, we can discriminate the lands and call the places. However, because of urbanization and industrialization, frequent combinations, partitions, and registrations of lands have made present address system complicated.
Many of the advanced nations use building address and land lot number system separately. But, in Korea, we use the land lot number system as the building address. So it's not easy to find any houses or buildings only using the address.
Therefore, in this thesis, by examining the history of Korean
address system and comparing it with foreign address systems, I will find several problems of land lot address system and propose some efficient development methods of the road name address system that will be the new address system in Korea from 2012.
