| Abstract |
This paper investigates the actual demands and possible ways of developing ubiquitous services that are deemed most necessary to citizens. In applying the ideas of ubiquitous city, it is our primary concern to articulate a city into residential neighborhoods and distribute Uservices to each neighborhood according to their functions and hierarchy. The aim of this paper is to explore ways of developing lived U-services that must be embodied in ubiquitous cities. First, it specifies U-services that are applicable to residential neighborhoods through a review of theoretical backgrounds and previous studies. Second, it analyses the demands of ordinary citizens for derived U-services. Third, based on expertise questionnaire survey, it proposes a set of concrete ways of developing U-services in residential neighborhoods. The results can be summarized as follows: First, the questionnaire survey of ordinary citizens shows that U-services that are most required are health and safety. Second, the strategic timing for service provision can be classified into four levels according to‘ human factor’,‘ temporal factor’,‘ technical factor’, and‘ institutional factor’. It is also suggested that the definition of U-services for residential neighborhoods should be classified into four levels in such a way as to reflect the properties and managerial efficiency of each neighborhood. |
