N에 의하면

according to…

Names where a piece of information came from — the news, a forecast, a survey, a regulation, something someone said. The point is that you are passing it on rather than vouching for it, so the sentence normally ends in a reported form. Slightly more formal than -에 따르면, and common in reports and official documents.

업계 조사에 의하면 올해 보험료가 더 오를 거라고 합니다.
According to an industry survey, insurance premiums will rise again this year.
동네 사람들 말에 의하면 저 골목에 카페가 생겼대요.
The neighbours say a café has opened in that alley.
안내문에 의하면 이 인도는 다음 주부터 다시 쓸 수 있다고 합니다.
According to the notice, this pavement can be used again from next week.

※Ending flatly sounds wrong: 일기예보에 의하면 내일 비가 와요 (△) makes it sound as though you are guaranteeing the rain. Say 온다고 해요 to keep it someone else's claim.

EVERYDAY

달라진 동네　A neighbourhood transformed——Two former neighbours run into each other in the street. As they walk, they talk about how the area has changed over the past few years — the building site, the unfinished bridge, the widened pavement, the newly planted trees.（준호＝Junho (a former neighbour) ／ 민서＝Minseo (a former neighbour)）

준호민서 씨, 진짜 오랜만이에요. 이 동네 많이 달라졌죠?
Minseo, it's been ages. This neighbourhood has changed a lot, hasn't it?
민서그러게요. 저기 공사 중인 곳은 새로 생기는 도서관인가요?
It really has. Is that building site over there the new library?
준호네, 맞아요. 구청 안내에 의하면 내년 봄에 문을 연다고 해요.
Yes, that's right. According to the district office notice, it opens next spring.
민서그럼 저 다리도 그때 같이 완성되는 거예요?
So will that bridge be finished at the same time?
준호다리는 좀 더 걸릴 것 같아요. 공사 속도를 보니까 올해 안에는 어렵겠어요.
The bridge looks like it'll take a bit longer. Judging by how the construction is going, it probably won't be done this year.
민서그래도 인도가 넓어져서 걷기는 훨씬 편해졌네요.
Still, the pavement is wider now, so walking here is much nicer.
준호맞아요. 예전엔 그늘이 없어서 힘들었죠. 나무도 새로 심었더라고요.
Right. It used to be rough because there was no shade. I noticed they've planted new trees, too.
민서좋네요. 다음엔 저 앞에 새로 생긴 데에서 커피라도 한잔해요.
That's good. Next time let's get a coffee at that new place up ahead.
