Address System in Mongolia

Due to a significant number of temporary settlements in the country ( yurts ), changing the spatial position over time, the traditional address systems (city, street, house) is not very suitable for Mongolia. February 2, 2008 The Government of Mongolia decided to adapt to the needs of the country's technology Universal Address System (Universal Address System), that is, using the Natural Area Code (NAC) for addressing objects in the field. This system can address in the locality within the Earth as a whole regions and cities, individual houses and even small objects up to a meter. The more accurate the address, the longer the code. For example, the address of the city of Ulan Bator as a whole - RV-W QZ, a monument in the center of the square Sukhbaatar in Ulan Bator - RW8SK QZKSL. The essence of targeting NAC code is very simple and similar to the nomenclature system of naming the individual map sheets or with a number of large-scale spatial indexing system, Oracle Spatial. Universal address system is global in nature and is well suited for use in digital cartography, GIS and navigation systems.
