Abstract

Recently, developing U-City as an integrated set of ubiquitous space services has been regarded as a promising field in realizing ubiquitous computing technology. However, well organized requirement analyses of U-City to declare what kinds of ubiquitous space services are needed and which ubiquitous computing technology should be incorporated to come up with the needs are still insufficient. Hence, the aims of this paper are to propose a set of unique U-City construction philosophies and to analyze which services should be offered in the ubiquitous space services in U-Cities. A field survey to the citizens who are potential end users of the ubiquitous space services was conducted to analyze the success factors of U-City using CSF methodology. Focused group interview with professionals in the field of ubiquitous computing technology in Korea was then performed to identify the relationship of the ubiquitous space services and the critical success factors.

최근에 유비쿼터스 공간 서비스의 통합된 집합으로서의 U-City 구축이 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술을 실현할 수 있는 유력한 분야로 부각되고 있다. 그러나 어떠한 종류의 유비쿼터스 공간 서비스들이 필요하며 또한 그러한 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해 어떤 종류의 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술을 활용하여 구현해야 하는지에 대한 조직화된 U-City 요구분석 방법이 존재하지 않는다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 요구분석 도출과 관계된 U-City만의 독특한 구축 철학과 이를 토대로 U-City내의 유비쿼터스 공간에 어떤 서비스가 존재해야 하는지에 대한 분석방법론을 제안하는 것이다. 이를 위해 U-City의 잠재 시민들을 대상으로 한 현장 조사를 통해 주요성공요인을 추출하였다. 또한 국내 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술분야의 전문가들을 대상으로 하여 표적집단면접법을 통해 유비쿼터스 공간 서비스와 주요성공요인간의 관계성을 분석하였다.
