  • The purpose of this research is to manage the physical sectors systematically, needed for the selection and direction of declining areas, such as urban regeneration and revitalization projects, by grading the density of decline indicators of buildings in small and medium cities. In five small and medium-sized cities in Jeollanam-do, the data were divided into three stages according to the density, according to the use, structure, and age of the building. Rating by element of Census Output Area, detailed designation, and management of declining areas in small and medium-sized cities are required, rather than setting the scope of declining areas based on administrative districts. It is also necessary to manage cities through complex and intra-element phasing rather than single elements in defining physical decline. The analysis based on the complex factors and boundary of the Census Output Area is meaningful in order to maintain and manage such cities in a more detailed and precise manner according to such characteristics of each region.

  • In recent years, many studies have been conducted on smart low carbon cities through the fusion of ICT information technology for the purpose of reducing carbon. In this study, we investigated 13 cities in three continents that implement low-carbon city policies and analyzed the size, economic and social characteristics of each city to identify the degree of dynamic mechanism for carbon reduction. To this end, we quantified the elements of the city and analyzed the basic requirements for low-carbon cities using the TOPSIS method. The study found that most cities were better able to activate institutions and cultural conditions, facilities and functional conditions, and economic and industrial conditions than other engines, and these three were the main forms of power for smart low carbon cities. The results of this study are expected to be used as a basis for suggesting policy recommendations and improvement measures for future smart low carbon cities.

  • Nowadays, the condition of overcrowded cities has raised a question which is insufficient land in cities, and has gotten worse because of the influx of the population continuously. It has rapidly constructed a skyscraper increasingly that the solution to secure a living space against these overcrowded cities until 2000, but these are already positioning itself as one of the new type of residence. The necessity of skyscraper as facilities of residence inside cities has be available both a solution for overcrowded cities and a meaning for a symbol of its represented a landmark. However, constructing skyscrapers indiscreetly can not guarantee dweller's life environment, and it contains risks unless design and facilities criteria are provided. Now, a skyscraper as a new substitute constituting a living space in the future for overcrowded cities deals with a systematic correlation between a city and construction. Therefore the aim of this study were to indicate a method for improvement of dweller's life environment at skyscraper through establishing a point of reference to inculcate them for a sustainable skyscraper from now on.

  • In developing countries especially in African continent, rapid population growth in cities is a major concern. Majority of governments in Africa have made more effort to develop urban areas as compared to the rural ones. Social and economic activities are more concentrated in urban areas. This is a pushing factor for the rapid population growth in cities as many people, especially young generation, tend to migrate from rural to urban. This growth leads to excessive exploitation of natural resources, environmental degradation and increased pressure on social services. Rapid increased population acts as an encouragement to construct smart cities for achieving needs for present and future generations. Tanzania as one of the developing countries in Africa has taken initiatives in establishing smart cities. The aim of this study therefore, is to examine opportunities and challenges in the development of Smart cities in Tanzania with a case study of Mbeya city. In addition, conceptualization about development of smart cities is proposed to prioritize the planning of smart grid among other smart city infrastructure systems. Conclusively, Mbeya city has a full potential of many strengths and opportunities for successful development as a smart city.

  • The purpose of this study is to empirically measure the consumer response to mobile phone price changes in small and medium cities that have been alienated from Chinese marketing research. To do this, we measured price response through consumer survey based on conjoint analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, it show a typical pattern in which the part-worth decreases as the price increases. This suggests that there is room for improvement in profitability through pricing strategy for small and medium cities. Second, the decrease of the utility value according to the price increase was different for each city. This implies that difference of price response by city should be used strategically when planning price tactics. This study has contributed to understanding the expansion of research subjects from large cities to small cities and the price response phenomenon of small cities. And it will provide basic data on price response to mobile phone marketers of small and medium cities.

  • Korean government has implemented policies to strengthen the competitiveness of small and medium sized cities. However, since it is often difficult to enhance the competitiveness through individual projects, many local governments in metropolitan areas are working together to pursue local growth. On the other hand, small and medium sized cities that are not included in metropolitan areas due to their spatial limitations have difficulties in implementing effective growth policies. Given this background, the purpose of this study is to identify the functional correlation based on urban interactions and develop functional econometric model for the economic growth of small and medium sized cities. This study uses spatial econometrics models and functional weight matrix to identify the effects of functional networks on small and medium sized cities. The results show the effect of functional networks on the growth of small and medium sized cities and provide policy implications for regional spatial planning that addresses effective management of small and medium sized cities.
