The city improved the nighttime walking environment by installing solar-powered LED base number plates at the existing 112 emergency call sign locations, enhancing the visibility of the plates to enable accurate location guidance.

Additionally, by utilizing QR codes, it is now possible to send rescue request messages to the police and fire department, as well as access the National Disaster Safety Portal, Anseong City Hall website, and road name address information sites. Using the QR codes allows for precise location information confirmation during emergencies, facilitating prompt reporting and response.

Kwon Soon-gwang, head of the Land Civil Affairs Division of Anseong City, expressed, "The installation of nighttime lighting on address information facilities is expected to greatly contribute to crime prevention and the convenience of citizens’ lives," adding, "We will continue to expand related facilities going forward."
