Keen attention has been directed at "smart tourism cities" due to its role of solving urban problems arising from modern tourism development. However, some local governments are making huge investments in developing uniform tourism apps without specific directions or guidelines for the transformation of smart tourism cities. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a standardized and objective smart tourism competitiveness index and evaluate the competitiveness rankings of various cities around the world. The index comprises the five subindices of attractiveness, accessibility, digitalization readiness, sustainability, and co-partnership. The analysis results have shown that Singapore is the most competitive smart tourism city, followed by Amsterdam, New York City, Seoul and Barcelona, with Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok being relegated to the bottom of competitiveness rankings. We expect that this index can be employed as a global standard for continuously and systematically monitoring smart tourism city-related projects in the future.

As city tourism has recently been evaluated as a major indicator of urban competitiveness, strengthening the role of cities as tourist destinations has received more attention. However, industrialization and urbanization of many cities lead to population decline, extinction of traditional industries, and deterioration of living environments, weakening urban functions and competitiveness. Thus, it is essential for declining cities to build a measure to restore urban competitiveness by enhancing urban functions. Accordingly, this study focused on socio-cultural urban regeneration by exploring physical spaces for tourism destinations in declining cities. Different from general tourist destinations, tourism destinations of urban regeneration have a temporal perspective covering the past, present, and future. How does the temporal perspective of urban regeneration tourist destinations affect tourists' satisfaction and behavioral intention? In order to address these questions, this study conducts an empirical analysis based on structural equation modeling (SEM) using the sample of tourists who have visited urban regeneration tourism destinations. With SEM, this paper investigates structural relationships across variables by testing the hypothesis established in the proposed research model. The results show that precious memories of the past are the most important factor for tourists to visit urban regeneration tourist destinations. The empirical findings of this study will contribute to the research areas of urban tourism, urban regeneration tourism, and urban regeneration tourism destinations. In addition, this study can provide practical implications to develop socio-cultural contents of urban regeneration areas as tourism resources to establish plans for urban regeneration projects and achieve sustainable development strategies.

지방자치제도의 실시에 따라 관광개발은 초기의 하드웨어 중심에서 소프트웨어 중심의 개발형태로 변화되었다. 최근 들어 각 지방자치단체는 지역의 고유한 문화와 환경을 대변할 수 있는 관광자원를 발굴하여 콘텐츠화 함으로써 도시브랜드로 활용하여 지역홍보에 적극적으로 활용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 도시지역인 청주시를 중심으로 관광콘텐츠를 활용한 도시브랜드를 도출하고, 도출된 브랜드를 활성화시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하였다.

Cities are the most important type of tourist destination across the world, and yet urban areas have neglected in most academic studies of tourism. Urban destinations serve as gateways for tourist entry to the country, as centers of accommodation and a base for excursion to rural areas as well as destinations in their own right. Increasingly cities rely on image promotion to attract tourists to cities. A city's image is the sum of beliefs, ideas, and impressions that a people have of a city. Image has always been of great interest and concern to city marketers. The image improvement is very important especially in urban tourism development because tourism overwhelmingly depends on image. The cost and effectiveness of the image improvement strategy depends on the city's current image and real attributes. Some cities are blessed with positive images. They don't require changing the image so much as amplifying it and delivering it to more target groups. Many cities are stuck with a negative image. They need to remove it and make a positive out of a negative to correct it. Image reversals, however, are difficult to accomplish. Some cities are not well known because they are small, lack attractions, or don't advertise. They need to identify, develop, and disseminate a strong positive image for the city.

문화콘텐츠는 지역 관광산업을 발전시키는데 핵심적인 요인으로 인식이 되어 전 세계 많은 국가들이 자신들만의 문화콘텐츠를 개발하기 위하여 노력을 기울이고 있다. 특히 우리나라뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 도시재생을 통한 문화콘텐츠 개발에 많은 관심을 가지고 있는데 그 이유로 도시에서 상대적으로 경제적·문화적으로 낙후되거나 사용하지 않는 유휴공간을 새로이 리모델링함으로써 도시 내 유휴공간을 지역의 특화된 문화예술 공간으로 구축함으로써 하나의 지역 특화 관광산업으로 발전을 하고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 SERVQUAL을 통해 유휴공간을 통해 제공되는 문화콘텐츠가 관광산업에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 살펴 보고자 한다.
