A law and enforcement ordinance related to "ubiquitous city" (U-city) has been announced officially in Korea and practical standardization which is connected with U-city is in progress. The U-city defines citywide service over a city providing its infrastructure. The key facilities of U-city include intelligent equipments, networks, and operational facilities. Especially, the main focus of them is the intelligent equipments that are defined as facilities being applied to information technology. However, U-city has not been provided with standards related to actual construction of intelligent equipments so far. In this article, we survey standards for intelligent equipments for existing infrastructure and U-city's services.

U-City applies ubiquitous information technologies such as RFID, GPS, USN to various components of city functions and services. The concept of U-City was popularized especially in Korea and currently more than 40 projects have been carrying out all over country. U-City incorporates advanced information communication technologies into ubiquitous information services to provide better quality of life. The purpose of this study is to analyze preferences for the U-City services by surveying experts in U-City developing companies. This study employs Analytic Hierarchy Process which is very useful tool for performing multi-criteria decision making. Total of 28 responses were used in the analysis. The results indicated that the first 7 most preferred items were from transportation and safety area and environment and healthcare area and 4 out of 6 items in transportation and safety area were ranked among them. It implies that respondents consider countering anxiety caused by congested traffic, natural disasters, crimes, etc most important aspect that U-City should deal with. On the other hand, U-Port, U-Convention, U-Logistics, U-Public Administration and U-City Portal were listed as the least preferred services.

U-Services, which are offered from local governments based on their Ubiquitous City Plans, are only focused on facility and urban management services. Also Citizen oriented U-service is only planned. This study's purpose is to propose the implication for provide of the Citizen oriented U-service comparing with U-Service plan of 'Ubiquitous City Comprehensive Plan' and 'Ubiquitous City Plan' through a network text analysis and word frequency analysis. It was calculated a important keyword that was extracted the service plan contents of the 'Ubiquitous City Comprehensive Plan' and 'Ubiquitous City Plan' of the four local governments. The network text analysis and keyword frequency analysis was performed through derived keyword. Based on the analysis results, awareness of the citizens can be expected to increase about U-City by activating a excavation of Citizen oriented U-service in a variety of sector through additional services and policy of financial support in the next Ubiquitous City Comprehensive Plan.

For the development and management of u-City(ubiquitous city), Ubiquitous City Construction Law was enacted(March 3, 2008) to form the legal basis of u-City plan, construction and managements afterwards. The ultimate goal of the u-City construction is the advancement of national territory utilization and management using Korea's high level of IT and spatial information infrastructure. Based on the definition of the u-City Construction Law, the u-City refers to a city where u-City services are provided through the u-City infrastructure applying u-City technology. But, based on the current level of relationship model among u-City service, technology and infrastructure, it is not enough to guide the local municipalities to plan and provide the successful u-City services in its vicinity. So as one of the core issues for the legal arrangements of successful u-City services, the purpose of the study is to suggest the basic directions and execution strategies for the relationship establishment among u-City service, technology and infrastructure.

In this paper, the requirements for information security are presented in the ubiquitous ecological(u-Eco) city. The various definition of ubiquitous city is analyzed first, the concept of the u-Eco City, services and major projects are then presented. The framework of the integrated operating center for u-Eco city is proposed, the privacy, data security and network facility protection in the center are analyzed. Unlike to previously proposed security algorithms, the light-weight encoding algorithms(such as block/stream encoding, pseudo-random generator, hash function, and public key encoding) in the u-Eco city center are required to communicate the information in the ubiquitous sensor network. Furthermore, the principal policies guaranteeing the secrecy and authentication for the private information are also presented.

Recently IT industry has its eyes on IT Converged Technology as its future growth engine. Now, local governments are busy with planning U-City Constructions to improve their competitiveness. While this shows the ripple effect of U-City Constructions, the related standards or laws don't still seem to be established. The existing Construction Criteria which comprehends only construction could not apply to U-City development. Therefore Construction-Information Converged Technology Criteria should be needed. And fundamental research of Criteria should be preceded. The objective of this research is to develop Structure of Construction-Information Converged Technology Criteria on U-City. The new comprehensive Criteria for Construction-Information Converged Technology would be fundamentally basic standard for U-city development. Thereafter local governments, the main body of the projects, could use Construction-Information Converged Technology Criteria so that there must be lest trial and error to Construction U-City Project.

u-City is next generation city which can innovate functions of city. It can realize increase of convenience, improvement of life quality and safety guarantee by convergence of information technologies and ubiquitous service with urban space. Market of u-City is in range of rapid growth and u-City can make enormous synergy effects by accompanying construction technologies with spatial information, sensor technologies, communications network and related equipments. In this study, we analyzed the domestic/abroad status, researches and element technologies involved in u-City. And, we suggested overseas expansion strategy of u-City such as selection and analysis of target nations, packaging method of u-City service models and application of BIM/GIS connection technologies in terms of u-City construction and operation.

u-City is a new concept and phenomena of applying Information & Communications Technology(ICT) into real cities in Korea. In order to effectively integrate a city with high-tech ICT infrastructure, cutting-edge ICT is being integrated into physical urban environments from the planning and construction stage of a city. There are positive expectations regarding its effect on urban planning and citizens' lives. However, construction of u-city has technical limitations as well as institutional obstacles. This paper aims at identifying problems of current u-city practices and suggesting appropriate solutions for those problems. To do so, it first collects opinions from diverse experts. Then, it draws problems and suggests solutions in terms of u-infrastructure, u-service, policy and implementation process.

최근 건설되어지는 도시들은 정부의 신도시 정책의 일환인 첨단 도시 건설을 목적으로 하는 Ubiquitous City를 계획하고 있다. Ubiquitous City는 언제 어디서나 유비쿼터스 서비스와 인프라가 제공되는 환경을 가지고 있으므로 노출 위험이 높다. 보안을 고려한 개별 시스템들의 설계는 정부 정책과 함께 활발히 진행되지만 통합 시스템을 관리하는 면에서의 방안은 제시되지 못하고 있다. 보안관리방안이 성립되지 못한다면 침해 유형이 고도화되면서 항상 변화하는 유비쿼터스 시대에 보안은 취약해질 수밖에 없다. 시스템을 총괄 관리 및 관제하는 통합네트워크전산센터인 U-City전산센터의 보안 관리망을 구성하고 취약한 시스템들의 보안을 관리하는 대책이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 보안망의 체계적인 관리 방안을 통합보안관리(ESM)를 중심으로 기술적인 보안관리대책을 제안한다. 제안된 보안관리대책이 Ubiquitous City를 계획하는 모든 신도시들의 플랫폼이 되도록 한다.

It is possible to evaluate hi-tech spatial services such as U-City services as part of the visible results from more than 10 years of public efforts and budgets on Korea National Digitalization. The U-City services are mainly based on ICT(Information and Communication Technology), but in the aspect of giving intelligence to the existing physical space, in principle, they are to be inter-connected with both spatial information and spatial plan. But, still there are few shared concepts for linking U-City services with spatial information and spatial plan. Therefore, under the proposition of the realization of Ubiquitous National Territory in the Digital Convergence Era, the purpose of the current study is to facilitate the balanced development among U-City services, national spatial data and spatial plan by proposing a new concept of Digital Convergence Space. Then, for its realization, regarding laws and policy arrangements are suggested.
