이 연구는 2012여수세계박람회의 도시발전효과에 대한 전문가 집단의 인식과 평가를 분석한 것이다. 전문가 집단은 여수세계박람회 개최로 인해 나타난 교통체계 및 접근성 개선, 지역경제 활성화, 관광시설 확충과 활성화, 도시미관 및 도시재생, 도시이미지 및 국제화 등에 대해 긍정적인 인식과 태도를 하였다. 특히 수도권과 접근성 향상, 여 수와 주변지역 간 접근성 개선, 지역경제 활성화, 도시이미지 향상, 관광객 증가, 관광숙박시설 및 관광관련 인프라 확충 등에 대해 매우 우호적으로 평가하였다. 또한 전문가 집단은 광역교통망 확충에 의한 도시발전이 약 9.5년, 도시주거환경 개선으로 인해 도시발전이 약 9.4년 정도 앞당겨졌다고 평가하였다. 전문가 집단은 여수세계박람회 개최로 '해양관광도시'라는 여수의 도시 이미지가 강화되었다고 평가하였고, 이런 도시 이미지를 고려해 도시의 미래상을 해양관광도시로 지향하는 것이 바람직하다고 인식하였다.
