- Abstract
- Postcode has been used for improving efficiency of mail sorting since 1970. Current postcode became 6-digits code in 2000 which had been reformed two times. However, since 2015, we have to use the national basic areas code which is replaced with the postcode. The national basic areas code will be used to not only sort the mail but also indicate the location and area in the whole country. Especially, it is expected to affect considerably the courier and logistics areas. Therefore, we analyze the effect of postcode and national basic areas code. Firstly, we analyze the basic statistical data onto the postcode and the national basic areas code. Secondly, in the delivery sorting aspect, we compare the front 3 digits of the postcode and the national basic areas code using the geographic data. Finally, in the arrival sorting aspect, we propose adjustment scales and application using the geographic data by comparing and analyzing the whole 6-digits of the postcode and 5-digits of the national basic areas code.
