| Abstract |
Many cities around the world are adopting smart city as a new urban model. In this context, smart city indexes are becoming more
important for assessing and evaluating smart cities. A number of smart city indexes were developed in Korea in the past few years, by
different entities for different purposes and with no relation to each other. From a user’s perspective, this led to difficulty in understanding
smart city indexes and also reduced the usefulness and effectiveness of various indexes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the smart
city indexes currently being developed in Korea, and present a comprehensive framework that can integrate and link these smart city indexes.
First, we define ‘result-centric’ and ‘process-centric’ evaluation structures for smart city indexes based on literature research. Second, the
features and structures of smart city indexes under development were analyzed to develop a comprehensive framework for all smart city
indexes, with focus on the indexes from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Third, the concept of smart city index framework
is presented, in which various smart city indexes can be organized and utilized. This framework is expected to provide better understanding
of different smart city indexes in Korea, and enable better usage and communication among different users of these indexes to address
various economic, environmental, social, and other urban issues. |
