Abstract

This study examined correlations between U-Service for U-City and assessment indicators for urban competitiveness. The results of this study show that U-Service is used as a means of strengthening urban competitiveness in six types of cities, despite the differences in degree of contribution. The proper use of U-Service in Safety & Health City and Vitality (Economy) City has significantly contributed to strengthening the competitiveness of such cities. Of the assessment items for urban competitiveness, common items and Culture City type show that U-Service has not contributed much to strengthening urban competitiveness. The analysis shows that because common items are part of the assessment items for urban policies, these items are not suitable to the character of a U-City that implements U-Service through intelligent physical facilities. On the other hand, U-Service related to the Culture City type is relatively less developed. This study found out that U-Service could be used to reinforce urban competitiveness.

본 연구에서는 유시티의 U-서비스와 도시경쟁력 평가지표의 상호 연관성을 찾고 있다. 연구결과 U-서비스가 빈도에 차이를 보이지만 6개의 도시유형별로 도시경쟁력 강화 수단으로 활용되고 있다. 특히 안전 건강, 활력(경제)도시형에서 적절한 U-서비스 활용은 도시경쟁력 강화에 기여할 수 있는 빈도가 높다. 다음으로 도시경쟁력 평가항목 중 공동항목과 문화도시형에서는 U-서비스가 도시경쟁력 강화에 상대적 기여도가 낮다. 이는 도시의 정책을 평가하는 항목으로 구성되어 있는 공동항목이 도시의 물리적 시설 지능화를 통해 U-서비스를 구현하는 유시티 성격에 부합되지 않는 것이다. 반면 문화도시형과 관련된 U-서비스는 상대적으로 서비스개발이 미약하기 때문이다. 본 연구를 통해 U-서비스는 도시 경쟁력 강화에 활용될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
