Recently, the city development policies are being switched to the policies focusing on recession worldwide. Even though South Korea is also facing the phenomena that small and medium-sized cities are downsized because of a decrease in population and an aging society problem, there is lack of solutions and even they are still planning city development policies based on prospect of high growth. This study is featuring 4 viewpoints depending on shrinking population trend in 7 small and medium sized local cities, which are chosen as downsized cities. It is dealing with population peak, current population, 2030 population, and 2040 population viewpoints. And this study uses downsizing simulation that suggests optimum area that fits population and then shows visual check of the status of the small and medium sized local cities. The area of the small and medium sized local cities are expanded more than needs when they are on population peak point. However, they need only 20% to 25% of current area in 2030 and 2040. The most important thing is realizing the seriousness and facing up to the 'shrinking' phenomena that each small and medium-sized cities suffer. Therefore, this study has significance for presenting the status of small and medium-sized cities' problems in South Korea.

This research aimed to propose an organizational system that implements a planning agreement in local small and medium sized city, Korea. To conduct this research, three successful cases were deduced using integration systems to investigate purpose and background of the planning agreement. Articles, reports, media, and participation in meetings and workshops related on this topic are used for collecting data and interview of regional activists and experts, and public officials were carried out. Among them, the case of Yeongju city that used the new integration system instead of pre-adminstration system was examined in detail. There are three local governments; Yeongwol-gun, Jeungpyeong-gun, and Yeongju city which have successfully fulfilled projects from various departments of central adminstration not projects of planning agreement. The similarity noticed between those three cases is to continue various projects from several departments of central adminstration for numerous years and contribute to regional revitalization. A successful factor was to establish organizational system and manage it for the integration plan and performance for appropriate regional and administrative characteristics. In particular, in the case of Yeongju city, organization for urban architectural management composed of civilian experts were formed, authorized status on administrative organization was established, and the function and role were identified. It is helpful to other local governments to carry out the projects of planning agreement as the case of Yeongju city is now a new method.

The central government has implemented policies to strengthen the competitiveness of small and medium sized cities for balanced development at the national scale. However, since it is often difficult to enhance the competitiveness through partial projects of each jurisdiction, many local governments collaborate at the regional scale. This suggests that a regional approach is important for the management of small and medium sized cities. On the one hand, the concept of network city suggests that various functional networks can affect the growth of small and medium sized cities. Given this background, the purposes of this study are to delineate regional boundaries at national scale and identify their relations of growth by using functional network and Moran's I index. The study uses the Markov-chain model and cluster analysis to delineate the regions, and Moran's I is employed to identify the relations of growth. The results show that interactions between jurisdictions through networks could be crucial factors for growth of small and medium sized cities, while the networks based on passenger travel and freight movement have different implications. The results suggest that policy makers should not only consider local level investments, but also take the characteristics of networks between cities into account for achieving balanced development and developing regeneration policies.

Purpose - From the advanced path of development and current situation, the development of enterprises plays a tremendous role in promoting national economic growth and raising the overall national strength. Therefore, this paper aims at examining the mutual effect between small & medium enterprises and economic growth. Research design, data, and methodology - In order to address the operating mutual effect between the small & medium enterprises and economic growth more clearly, this paper sets Alibaba Group and Hangzhou as an example. Meanwhile, the annual data from 2000 to 2017 will be employed, and an empirical analysis will be performed under the vector error correction model. Results - The findings display that the total revenue of Alibaba Group has a positive effect on economic growth in city of Hangzhou. However, the Granger Causality test implies that there is only a unidirectional causality between total revenue of Alibaba Group and economic growth in Hangzhou. More specifically, 1% increase in total revenue of Alibaba Group can result in 0.272% in economic growth of Hangzhou in the long run. Conclusions - In summary, for the long run, the local governments should promulgate a series of policies to assist the small & medium enterprises like Alibaba Group to improve the local economic growth as seen in the city of Hangzhou.

In 2011, neighborhood parks occupied a total area of $280,135,257m^2$ in small and medium sized city areas and this excluded the metropolitan regions. In the rural area, the park area per person($22.64m^2$) is larger than the urban area($9.50m^2$). It is a questionable why there is a higher park ratio in the rural area compared to the cities, where the function of the neighborhood parks is not being utilized well. But, there are already a lot of parks that has been constructed in the rural areas and a lot of money is being spent in maintaining them. Hence, rather than reducing the number of "country parks", it can be suggested that these "country parks" ought to be utilized in a different manner than the parks in the city. In that point of view, this study examined the issues of the country park usage along with the utilization of the local festivals within the parks. Firstly in this context, this study compared the amount of neighborhood parks between small and medium sized cities and metropolitan areas, and analyzed those results. Secondly, daily newspaper articles were collected and categorized to find the usage of the rural park which were then analyzed. Then, the extraction of the essential points in composing the festival space was carried out. Also, the general design guides of making the neighborhood parks were drawn. Last but not least, using these two resources, this study suggested design guidelines for using neighborhood parks as a Festival Space in small and medium sized cities.

Recently, the central and local government support various improvement projects on existing public buildings and areas. Improving public use and environment of these areas is adequate because financial condition of local city is not enough to build new infrastructures. As one of the projects, Geochang-Eup(Geochang-Gun, Gyeongnam Province) is selected as the project site since most of the public buildings and areas of the city are located close each other in downtown but not streamlined in function and use nor easily accessible. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of decline in local city and to present strategies to vitalize the city through improving environment of public areas. And we analyzed the problems by discussion with local officer, field investigation on the site and paper survey. The analysis shows that public infrastructures are grouped by function: administration, education, life support, culture, health, etc, but not well-connected, easily accessible, adequately located, various in use nor enough in quantity. This study summarized the problems into five categories: Access&Linkage, Safe&Comfort, Identity&Image, Usage&Activity and Ownership&Management and proposes strategy in three phases. The first phase is to improve functions and design of public places per each area: more consistent design on public buildings, better civil facilities and better accessibility to public areas. The second is to vitalize of the areas and to improve efficiency in use through linking each other physically and sharing uses. The third is to encourage citizen's participation and by developing civil programs to streamline public areas each other.

The concept of smart city is understood as an indispensable component of urban regeneration projects in small cities in terms of providing a better urban environment and efficient living systems with a limited budget. Recently, the Korean government revised the law that related to the construction of the smart city and started to implement the smart city concept not only to new-large urban development but also to small-existed regeneration projects. However, it is difficult for small and medium-sized cities that are suffering from the insufficient professional workforce; knowledge supports for high-tech and lack of professional networks to proceed smart city planning and project that containing regional characteristics. This paper aims to examine the effective way of urban regeneration for small and medium-sized cities through smart city planning and strategy. As an important case, this paper looks at the 'Smart City Challenge' competition that was hosted by the US Department of Transportation in 2015. It examines the background and operation process of the smart city challenge competition, and then analyses each city's strategy and characteristics of seven finalists. This paper highlights the several key lessons to Korean cities: 1) the importance of national government's support in financial and professional resources; 2) the cooperation with local governments and IT corporations which provides realistic and detailed technical solutions; 3) the holistic and integrated approach to urban regeneration starting from transportation issues; 4) the necessity of the government's clear visions and guidelines toward the smart city.

우리나라는 1960년대 이후 국가 경제성장에 힘입어 사회적·경제적으로 주민 생활에 큰 변화가 있었으며 특히 미혼 여성의 경제적 자립, 청년층의 만혼(晩婚), 중년층의 이혼, 고령층의 사별 증가 등으로 전체 가구의 29%가 1인 가구인 시대로 되었다. 하지만 급격히 증가하고 있는 1인 가구에 대한 연구가 인구가 밀집된 대도시에 거주하는 1인 가구에 치중되어 본 연구는 지방 중소도시에 거주하는 1인 가구의 특성을 분석하였다. 연구결과 지방 중소도시는 도시특성에 따라 성장 정체도시, 산업 선도도시, 지역 거점도시, 인구 유출도시 등으로 구분되며 도시유형에 따라 1인 가구특성도 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 성장 정체도시에서의 1인 가구는 산업활동의 근간이 되는 30-40대 연령대가 적으며 자가인 단독주택에서 방 3개 이상에 거주하는 장년층 비중이 높은 것으로 나타나 장년층 위주의 장기임대주택 및 쉐어하우스 등의 주택공급과 함께 사회적 교류를 위한 단지형 연립주택과 다세대 주택공급정책이 필요하다. 산업 선도도시에서의 1인 가구는 모든 연령대에 고루 분포되어 있으며 아파트 거주비율이 타 유형에 비해 가장 높은 것으로 나타나 행복주택 등 청년층 주택공급과 함께 기존주택에 대한 재건축 및 리모델링을 통하여 청·장년층 1인 가구의 주택수요에 대처하여야겠다. 지역 거점도시의 1인 가구는 대졸 학력에 20대 이하의 미혼 가구가 많고 월세주택에서 방 1개에 거주하는 비중이 높은 것으로 나타나 청년층을 위한 소형 주택공급을 확대하는 한편 아파트, 오피스텔 등의 분양주택과 전월세 주택공급을 통해 청년층 주거안정에 초점을 맞추어야 겠다. 인구 유출도시에서의 1인 가구는 초졸 학력에 사별한 가구가 많고 자가인 단독주택에서 방 4개 이상에 거주하는 노령층 비중이 높은 것으로 나타나 고령자 복지주택 등 노령층 위주의 단지형 주택공급을 통해 사회적, 문화적 교류가 가능한 주거환경을 만들고 분산된 주택거주 형태를 집단적 거주형태로 주거공간을 개선할 필요가 있다.

최근 우리나라에 기항하는 국제해양크루즈가 급증하면서 크루즈관광 활성화에 대한 정부와 지자체의 관심이 고조되고 있으나, 우리나라의 크루즈관광 정책과 시설확충 계획은 부산, 인천, 제주 등 크루즈 기항실적이 많은 도시의 거점항 위주로 이루어지는 경향이 있다. 하지만 연근해를 대표하는 중소해양도시의 지역항도 크루즈관광 매력을 갖추고 크루즈 유치를 위해 노력하고 있으므로 이들 도시의 크루즈관광 활성화를 위한 지원도 필요하다. 본 연구는 우리나라 중소해양도시의 크루즈관광 여건을 살펴보고 중소해양도시의 크루즈관광 활성화 방안을 모색하였다. 그리고 이를 토대로 항만 서비스, 교통 접근성과 도시 편의성, 관광활동 지원 분야에 대한 개선방안과 이를 위한 공공과 민간 등의 역할을 제시하였다. 사례연구 지역으로 전라남도 여수시를 선정하여 중소해양도시의 여건과 개선방안, 그리고 거점항과의 차이를 분석하였다. 크루즈 기항항이 되기 위해서는 거점항과 지역항의 차이가 없이 크루즈관광과 관련된 전 분야에서 많은 개선 노력이 이루어져야 한다. 특히 중소해양도시에 속한 지역항은 모항으로 성장할 가능성이 낮기 때문에 기항항으로 선정되는데 초점을 둔 정책과 관광 프로그램 개발이 추진되어야 한다.
