본 연구는 기존의 U-City사례지역을 중심으로 도시특성에 따른 U-서비스를 분석하고 있다. 분석결과 U-서비스는 크게 3가지 유형으로 나타나고 있다. 첫째, 도시특성과 무관하게 선호되는 서비스 유형이다. 교통, 행정, 문화 관광 스포츠, 보건 의료 복지 등은 도시 특성과 상관없이 선호되고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 둘째, 도시특성과 무관하게 선호되지 않는 서비스 유형이다. 대표적으로 물류와 근로 고용서비스는 도시특성과 상관없이 선호되지 않는 서비스로 분석되고 있다. 셋째, 도시특성에 따라 선호되는 유형과 그렇지 않는 유형이다. 교육과 환경 등은 도시특성에 따라 서비스 선호가 다르게 나타나고 있다. 이 연구에 대한 도시특성에 따른 서비스 항목의 분석결과 추후 U-City 도시건설과정에서 도시특성에 따라 적절한 U-City건설에 필요한 요소기술/서비스 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 본다.

최근 정보기술과 유비쿼터스기술을 바탕으로 도시를 미래화하는 유비쿼터스도시(U-City)구축이 범 국가적으로 추진되고 있다. 이에, 정부에서는 2008년 9월 25일 유비쿼터스도시의 건설 등에 관한 법률 시행령을 발표하였으며, 유비쿼터스도시서비스(U-City Service)를 크게 행정, 교통, 보건 의료 복지, 환경, 방범 방재, 시설물 관리, 교육, 문화 관광 스포츠, 물류, 근로 고용 등의 분야로 구분하였다. 이러한 유비쿼터스도시서비스를 제공하고 운영 및 관리하는 시설로 유비쿼터스도시 통합운영센터(U-City Management Center)는 다양한 유비쿼터스도시서비스를 효과적으로 연계하여 서비스에서 발생되는 다양한 도시정보를 통합, 분석하고 제공하는 유비쿼터스도시 핵심기능을 담당한다. 하지만 이러한 유비쿼터스도시 통합운영센터의 구축은 운영조직구성, 운영비용확보, 통합서비스 제공방안, 법 제도 정비 등의 해결과제를 가지고 있어 구현방안에 대한 구체적인 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 바탕으로 유비쿼터스도시 통합운영센터에서 기본적으로 제공되어야 할 유비쿼터스도시서비스 유형을 제시하고 정의한다.

The study on waiting time has been conducted from the psychological perspective since Maister (1985). In using medical institutions, especially general hospitals, it is not avoidable to wait for a long time. As a result, the waiting time gives clients psychological stress, which causes medical consumers to be more dissatisfied and decreases their rate of revisit. Accordingly, it is very urgent to study on the waiting time for hospitals' marketing and better image-making. This study is intended to find out how hospitals image and clients revisit is influenced by waiting environment and consumers' attitude, variables of waiting time perceived in medical services. Based on this study, those medical institutions are required to improve their medical service and waiting environment. Accordingly, they should convert waiting time into more efficient and comfortable recess and provide better environment for physical service and effective human services. As those medical institutions have relatively worse image than other businesses, they should actively study on ways of better image-making in the future.

NGIS 2단계사업(2001년${\sim}$2005년)은 국가공간자료기반 확충, 지리정보의 전 국민 유통 및 활용, GIS 산업육성 등의 목표를 가지고 추진되고 있다. 민간부분의 GIS 산업을 육성하기 위해서는 다양한 컨텐츠의 개발과 생활지리정보의 서비스 방향을 설정하고 법 제도적으로 지원할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 생활지리정보의 개념을 설정하고 국내외 생활지리정보관련 사이트를 조사 분석하여 향후 민간부분의 생활지리정보서비스 방향을 설정하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통해 기존의 인터넷 사이트를 조사하여 생활지리정보 항목을 11개로 분류하였으며, 공공부분에서는 중앙정부(건설교통부)와 지자체의 생활지리정보 현황을 분석하고 민간부분에서는 생활지리정보관련 36개 사이트를 조사 분석하였다. 또한 국외 사례는 미국, 일본, 영국, 스코틀랜드, 호주의 17개 사이트를 대상으로 생활지리정보현황을 분석하였다. 국내외 생활지리정보 서비스분석결과 국내의 경우는 도로/교통, 건강/의료 서비스가 우세한 반면 국외사례에서는 도로/교통뿐만 아니라 문화/관광 서비스가 상당히 많이 제공되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 생활지리정보서비스의 방향은 공공부문에서는 기 구축된 업무시스템을 민원을 중심으로 웹서비스를 통해 생활지리정보의 형태로 구현되어야 하고 민간부분의 생활지리정보는 기술부분과 컨텐츠부분으로 나누어 개발이 이루어져야 한다.

In this study, the value of the medical resort was divided into hedonic value, hospitality value, safety and personal information protection value, and profitability value by exploring and typifying the successful cases and related services of the medical resort in order to provide the direction of development and policy implications of the medical resort for the medical tourism industry. For those who have used the medical resort, I wanted to verify the impact of the value of medical resort on perception of medical resort and its intention to use it. As a result of this study, it was found that hedonic value and hospitality value of medical resort have a strong influence on usefulness perception and well-being perception of medical resort, that safety and personal information protection value of medical resort was only affected by usefulness perception, and profit value of medical resort was only affected by well-being perception. In addition, the usefulness perception and well-being perception of medical resorts were shown to have an impact on the intention of using medical resorts, especially in the case of well-being perception of medical resorts. The above findings are meaningful in that they expanded the medical resort-related research area for the medical tourism industry and provided useful implications for the development of medical resorts that meet the convenience and needs of medical tourists.
