According to the changes of the city's paradigm, the demand on u-City increases rapidly. u-City has been built at 54 areas in Korea (as of May 2009). One of the important determinants of success or failure in the increasing of u-City is how to provide u-Services. Most current u-Services are Sensor Network-based monitoring services to manage urban infrastructure. u-GIS is one of fundamental requirements to implement 'any time and any where' u-Service which covers the essential meaningful term "ubiquitous". Hence, in this paper, we 1) describe the definition of the spatial awareness, 2) discuss how to converge (Spatial Embedding) among different spatial data : topographic spatial data, sensor spatial data, and more, 3) bring forth an advanced form of u-Service, 4) analyze the state-of-the-art u-GIS techniques.

본 연구에서는 u-Eco City 건설을 위한 u-City 기술 연구의 첫걸음으로서 기반시설 관점에서 u-City기술을 분류하고자 한다. 이는 u-City를 구현할 때 기반시설에 u-City기술을 접목함으로써 u-City서비스를 실현할 수 있기 때문에 의미가 있다. 즉, "유비쿼터스 도시건설 등에 관한 법률"에서 언급하고 있는 u-기반시설의 개념을 도입하여 기술을 분류함으로써 서비스-기술-기반시설의 연계성을 명확하게 파악할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제시하고자하는 u-City 기술의 분류는 u-City기술의 범위를 정하고, 추후 기술개발의 전략적 목표 설정 및 기술전략 수립의 기초자료로써 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

Nowaday, in Korea, many u-City projects have been developed as a core business in the new town development project by national or local level of government. However, the new business projects have some problems, such as excessive number of u-services, increased project funds and period, and lower u-services due to lack of u-service evaluation methodologies. Therefore, this paper proposes a new u-service evaluation methodology to solve current problems. The methodology gives an ability to guard general u-service groups for reaching the main goal of the u-City project, and then select alternative u-service groups against being limited by the law and technology in the project year. Besides, as a key variable on performing u-City plans, the complexity between stakeholders is considered in the methodology. Finally, through the Optimal Sequential Method in the methodology, the maximum value of u-service group is obtained as a optimal service group of u-City.

유비쿼터스 기술의 보급으로 우리 생활에 밀접한 연관이 있는 도시시설 등이 IT기술과 융합되어가고 있다. 이로 인해 개별 네트워크에서 운영되던 각종 IT 서비스들도 u-City 서비스로 융합되고 있다. 하지만, u-City 안에서 새로이 융합되는 신규 IT서비스들이 구축되는 과정에서 보안요소의 고려 및 적용이 미흡할 경우에 u-City 서비스의 안전성 및 신뢰성에 심각한 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 u-City 서비스에서 발생 가능한 정보보호 위협을 분석하고 이를 극복하기 위한 정보보호대책 및 정책 과제를 제시하도록 한다.

By the time the interest on the u-City is continuously growing as a test bed for verifying the potentials of ubiquitous convergence industries, research on the u-Safety gradually increases as well, as a typical service and application area of u-City. Like the other service areas of u-City, in order to provide u-Safety services smoothly, it is crucial to integrally connect u-City services and infrastructures that have operated under distributed environment. In this study, we suggest an approach for design of u-Safety service and monitoring architecture by combing CIM/WBEM standard with GMA. CIM/WBEM and GMA are broadly applied in the distributed resource monitoring environment and are widely recognized as data acquisition architecture under massive monitoring data volumes respectively. Considering the growing research needs for standardization and extension of u-City service infrastructure, it is expected that our integrated infrastructure model will be used as a reference model for effective integration of distributed resources with newly added services.

It is possible to evaluate hi-tech spatial services such as U-City services as part of the visible results from more than 10 years of public efforts and budgets on Korea National Digitalization. The U-City services are mainly based on ICT(Information and Communication Technology), but in the aspect of giving intelligence to the existing physical space, in principle, they are to be inter-connected with both spatial information and spatial plan. But, still there are few shared concepts for linking U-City services with spatial information and spatial plan. Therefore, under the proposition of the realization of Ubiquitous National Territory in the Digital Convergence Era, the purpose of the current study is to facilitate the balanced development among U-City services, national spatial data and spatial plan by proposing a new concept of Digital Convergence Space. Then, for its realization, regarding laws and policy arrangements are suggested.

This research is a part of the Intelligent Urban Facility Management project of the Korean Land Spatialization Group (KGSL). First, this study started from the investigation of existing u-City service model in order to drive essential components and considerations for the urban facilities management system. Considering the driven conclusions, this study finally proposed the new classification system of urban facilities management service model and the adequate application method in u-City.

This paper aims to study the effects of quality of u-City public service on customer satisfaction in the Korea and is summarized as follows. First, we propose a model for assessing customer's satisfaction on u-City public services. The model comprises of information system (IS) quality, information quality, service quality and publicity. For verifying a model, a statistical study by SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 16.0 has been performed. Second, it is shown from the analysis that information system (IS) quality, information quality and publicity have a positive effect on customer satisfaction. while service quality does not. Last, the study shows that u-City public service enables any citizen to connect to necessary service in anytime and anywhere.

최근 도시기능의 효율성과 시민들의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 새로운 혁신 도시의 필요성이 대두되면서 U-City 건설이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 U-City 구현을 위한 인프라 및 요소기술들에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 서비스, 공간 등에 대한 연구와 상호 호환 및 연동에 대한 기반 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 또한 도시민의 수요와 요구를 제대로 반영하지 못하는 서비스 제공과 개념적으로 동일하거나 유사한 서비스가 중복 개발되는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 U-서비스의 과다한 중복생산을 지양하고, U-City에 거주하는 도시민들이 체감할 수 있는 시민친화적 서비스를 도출을 위한 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 도시민의 요구를 반영한 수요자 중심의 서비스 항목을 도출하였고, 서비스 제공의 우선순위를 제안하였다. 따라서 U-서비스 도입시의 파급효과를 극대화하고 결과의 타당성 한계를 극복하고자 한다.

As adopting ubiquitous technology into civil engineering, new city model is suggested called U-City. This paper proposes the framework of U-City management center to support effective services operation. The aims of the framework are to provide the development and operation environment for U-City services. Basically, these objectives are achieved by adopting the semantic web service technology to the framework. In this paper, OWL-S is mainly conducted to represent the description of U-City services. In addition, this paper insists that fine grained unit services are required to guarantee reusability, compatibility, and scalability of the services on U-City management center. The documentations conducted by OWL-S are provided as an example of service descriptions. At the last section, this paper also presents the architecture of U-City management center which enables automatic service discovery, selection, composition and interoperation.
