Abstract Recently, the urban street is not recognized as the space of the moving, but as the space of the people’s communication and open by a variety of the efforts like the naming of the cultural street. The signboard, which is like the visual pollution, is reorganized and the street is changed by burying the electric lines, and it is for the artistic desire to be satisfied expressing the local stagnation characteristically using the street furniture. In addition, the local specialty has created by the several festivals and events and it is remembered to the participants as the special meaning place. It is expected for the value of this kind of the street culture to be the place of the street, the expansion of the cultural approaches, the diffusion of the identity, local resuscitation and reconstruction, and the job creation. In this study, I would like to apply the ubiquitous concept to the space of the street for the activation of the street culture. The ubiquitous concept is the fusion place of the cyber space which is based on the information-telecommunication beyond the limitation of planning for the physical space object. The ubiquitous space is not only the connection and communication place among people as the original function of the city, but also the connection and communication place between the people and the thing and between the things. The ubiquitous space, which is intelligent by the urban consisted things and real time connection between the people, is more convenient, effective, and emotional comparing to the conventional city. As it is mentioned above, many studies have been done for the very comprehensive and complex space. In this study, the object is to define and create the cultural street which is applied by the ubiquitous concept for the activation of the street culture.
