| Abstract |
Ubiquitous technology has been emerged as a new topic in the field of information communication technology, and it has been increasingly applied for new city development or city remodeling by converging it with ICT in major cities. However, the current u-City has raised concerns about the uncertainty of the u-City business plan, and has difficulties to measure current status of u-City maturity and forecast future applications. Therefore, in order to determine the current position of the u-City in terms of its maturity, the recognition survey of the u-City in the media and practitioners are performed. And the basis of the survey results to analyze the differences in the recognition of the practitioners according to the purpose of the u-City construction is analyzed. In addition, innovation elements are derived for the development of u-City and key elements were identified for the further development of u-City based on its current maturity. |
