Abstract
This study focuses on that, unlike evolving smart technology, goals, policies, and administrative organization elements are tools that do not change in smart city implementation, and by applying the concept of policy implemental means, the characteristics of the Singapore Smart Nation Initiative are analyzed, results are derived and implications are suggested. To this end, literature analysis is conducted based on the case analysis framework with "Smart Nation" as an analysis unit and "project, administration, citizen engagement" as analysis elements. The implications through analysis are as follows. First, it is required to establish a state-led initiative for a major transformation into a digital society. Second, it is necessary to establish executive agencies directly under the president or prime minister for effective implementation of the initiative. Third, complementary programs at the level of detailed strategies, administrative organizations, and citizen participation as a means of implementation, should be considered and the flow of the recent digital ecosystem should be reflected. Fourth, it is necessary to promote a national movement for a great transformation into a digital society where all the people participate.
