What is address arrangement business?

The current address and location of Inagi City are displayed using the lot number, which is the number of the land.
Land numbers were not originally established to identify people's residences, but were numbers given to land during the Meiji period primarily for the purpose of tax collection.
As a result, whenever land is divided or roads are constructed, the regularity of the numbers is lost, and the situation becomes very difficult to understand, such as numbers jumping around or many houses being built on the same lot number. .
In order to resolve this situation, we are moving forward with organizing addresses and locations to make them easier to understand.

Address organization can be expected to improve the convenience and safety of citizens' lives by organizing the display of addresses and locations in conjunction with reviewing town areas and setting blocks. In addition, it will be possible to understand the number of households in each town area, which can be expected to not only improve and improve local activities but also be effective in responding to disasters.

There are two methods of address sorting : ``chokai town name lot number sorting,'' which renumbers land, and ``dwelling indication,'' which assigns addresses based on the location of buildings.

Inagi City was formed in 1896 by the merger of six villages: Yanoguchi Village, Higashi Naganuma Village, Daimaru Village, Hyakumura, Sakahama Village, and Hirao Village, and Inagi Village was born. After that, the Oshidate area was incorporated in 1952, and as the population increased, it became Inagi Town in 1950, and Inagi City in 1962. With the progress of the Tama New Town project, the Koyodai, Nagamine, and Wakabadai districts were born, and together with the previous seven districts, the area now consists of 10 districts.
Regarding the organization of addresses, in line with the opening of the Tama New Town area, town name and land number adjustments were implemented in the Koyodai area in 1988, the Nagamine area in 1994, and the Wakabadai area in 1998. Furthermore, in 1990 and 1993, part of the Hirao district in established urban areas underwent a town name rearrangement.
