Korea recently (about 5 years ago) moved from a block-based address system (like Japan has), to a street-name based system, such as the UK and US have. Streets and roads across the entire country were named (most didn't have a name), new street signs were installed and new house number plaques were attached to buildings and gates. It was a massive undertaking, but it's now complete. The post office will still deliver to old-style addresses, but obviously these will fade from use over time.
I suppose my point there is that the house-number+street-name address system might be the most obvious one for you, but if you don't have street names then you must get local government and local people involved. The upside is that you can offer a working system to record these addresses once they are defined: OSM. Once they are recorded then you get free mapping, free lookup and geocoding, and free routing.
