| Abstract |
Currently, our society is facing an increase in urban issues such as a lack of urban resources and infrastructure, as well as traffic congestion, due to the acceleration of population growth and urban concentration. Large cities and small and medium-sized cities face different urban problems, reflecting their varying population sizes, and the urban issues they encounter are also different. Existing research has focused on smart city planning, development, and strategies, but there has been a lack of research on the practical aspects of service provision. Furthermore, domestic smart city policies have been criticized for being implemented without analyzing the regional development stages and characteristics, often being led by the central government, which fails to reflect the actual local conditions. Therefore, this study aims to compare and analyze the smart city services proposed in the smart city planning based on the types of 48 cities, systematize the residents' awareness survey of the proposed services, and, after analyzing the results, identify a model for applying smart services in living areas based on urban types. The study intends to propose efficient directions for building smart city services in the future. This research can be used as an analytical model for applying efficient smart services to living areas in smart city planning, and it will contribute to enhancing public value and efficient utilization in the decision-making process for supporting smart services in small and medium-sized cities. |
