With the recent growth of the big data technology market, interest in visualization technology has steadily increased over the past few years. Data visualization is currently used in a wide range of disciplines such as information science, computer science, human-computer interaction, statistics, data mining, cartography, and journalism, each with a slightly different meaning. Big data visualization in smart cities that require multidisciplinary research enables an objective and scientific approach to developing user-centered smart city services and related policies. In particular, spatial-based data visualization enables efficient collaboration of various stakeholders through visualization data in the process of establishing city policy. In this paper, a user-centered spatial big data visualization expression request method was derived by examining the spatial-based big data visualization expression process and principle from the viewpoint of effective information delivery, not just a visualization tool.

Due to increase in concerns related to the climate change, state-wide promotion of the carbon neutrality has been in progress thus far. Smart City could be one of the measures as the initiative to mitigate the missions process. The primary purpose of Smart City can be summarized to be maximization of the social net-beneift to be returned for the local citizens and derivation of the optimal pattern of the energy consumption could belong to one of the elements included in the net-benefit. Currently, the energy consumption by the buildings has been determined to be responsible for the greatest consumption among the sectors considered to be energy-intensive. Moreover, considering the fact that the consumption by operations of HVAC is responsible for nearly 40% in the commercial buildings, it is virtually not possible to optimize schedules for the energy consumption with considerable deliverables from the perspective of the urban planners. Thus, the methods to implement the optimal schedules for the HVAC commissioned with the OHUs were concluded to be the suitable candidate resources for the simulation by EnergyPlus capable of monitoring the thermal changes in each subject space in the present research.

In Seoul, about 75,000 CCTVs are installed in 25 district offices. Each ward office has built a control center for CCTV control and is performing 24-hour CCTV video control for the safety of citizens. Seoul Metropolitan Government is building a smart city integrated platform that is safe for citizens by providing CCTV images of the ward office to enable rapid response to emergency/emergency situations by signing an MOU with related organizations. In this paper, when an incident occurs at the Seoul Metropolitan Government Office, the escape route is predicted by discriminating people and vehicles using the AI DNN-based Template Matching technology, MLP algorithm and CNN-based YOLO SPP DNN model for CCTV images. In addition, it is designed to automatically disseminate image information and situation information to adjacent ward offices when vehicles and people escape from the competent ward office. The escape route prediction and tracking system using artificial intelligence can expand the smart city integrated platform nationwide.

Even though demand to charge EV(electric vehicles) is increasing, there are some problems to construct EV charging stations and problems from deficient them. Typical problem of EV charging stations is discordance for EV charging station location with its demand. This study investigates methods to determine the optimized location for fast EV charging stations considering charging demand in Seoul. Firstly, variables influencing on determination of determine the optimized location for fast EV charging stations were decided, and then evaluation of weights of the variables and data collection were conducted. Using the weights, location potential scores for each area-cell were calculated and optimized locations for fast EV charging stations were resulted.

In this study, a new recentering friction device (RFD) to retrofit steel moment frame structures is introduced. The device provides both self-centering and energy dissipation capabilities for the retrofitted structure. A hybrid performance-based seismic design procedure considering multiple limit states is proposed for designing the device and the retrofitted structure. The design of the RFD is achieved by modifying the conventional performance-based seismic design (PBSD) procedure using computational intelligence techniques, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural network (ANN). Numerous nonlinear time-history response analyses (NLTHAs) are conducted on multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) and single-degree of freedom (SDOF) systems to train and validate the ANN to achieve high prediction accuracy. The proposed procedure and the new RFD are assessed using 2D and 3D models globally and locally. Globally, the effectiveness of the proposed device is assessed by conducting NLTHAs to check the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MIDR). Seismic fragilities of the retrofitted models are investigated by constructing fragility curves of the models for different limit states. After that, seismic life cycle cost (LCC) is estimated for the models with and without the retrofit. Locally, the stress concentration at the contact point of the RFD and the existing steel frame is checked being within acceptable limits using finite element modeling (FEM). The RFD showed its effectiveness in minimizing MIDR and eliminating residual drift for low to mid-rise steel frames models tested. GA and ANN proved to be crucial integrated parts in the modified PBSD to achieve the required seismic performance at different limit states with reasonable computational cost. ANN showed a very high prediction accuracy for transformation between MDOF and SDOF systems. Also, the proposed retrofit showed its efficiency in enhancing the seismic fragility and reducing the LCC significantly compared to the un-retrofitted models.

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.

도시에서의 에너지는 주로 인력에 의해 관리되고 소비된다. 전력이나 물, 가스 등 살아가는데 필요한 에너지는 화석연료로 생산되거나 만들어진다. 따라서 전력 등과 같은 에너지의 소비가 많을수록 이산화탄소 배출이나 지구온난화가 심화된다. 도시의 건축물에 대한 에너지의 공급체계는 건축물과 별도로 구성되어 있어 통합적 관리를 통해 사용량을 최적화하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 스마트그리드 스테이션을 기반으로 한 스마트그리드 시티를 구축하는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 통해 홈, 타운, 시티를 거쳐 최종적으로 스마트 에너지 국가를 완성하게 된다.

Smart Dining Table is an ongoing project in our Interaction Design Lab. It is a table top display designed to facilitate dining process. Smart Dining Table uses touchable interface to interact with users, providing a new, interesting and efficient experience in dining process. In GuangZhou, the south city of China, Yam Cha is a traditional and local way of entertainment in which normally elders gather together with friends or relatives to have tea and snack, and most importantly, to chat. Yam Cha has a long history in China, and Guangzhou has developed its own unique "Yam Cha" culture. In this paper, we discuss about previous research we did on Yam Cha in GuangZhou, and the approach we propose to manage and analyze issues related to dining table to help designing specific version of Smart Dining Table which can fit right into the Yam Cha process and cultural environment.

Currently, urban mobility is rather two-dimensional: Connections between transportation solutions like elevators, escalators, moving walks, and metro stations are static. In the future, urban mobility will require a holistic view: Seamless transportation, enabled by innovative IoT technology, is a necessity. A dialogue between the city, its buildings and transportation systems, considering the specific needs and preferences of each and every citizen, must be adopted. Travelling through the city will become a lot more individualized, interactive and customized to specific requirements.
