The rapid development of digital technology is diversifying the fashion industry by influencing both the manufacturing processes and the characteristics of fashion products. Although various smart clothing technologies are being developed as part of the government's technology development policy, the number of smart clothing products available to consumers in stores remains very limited. To address this issue, this study analyzes the key attributes of smart clothing as expressed in consumer language. The CIT (Critical Incident Technique) research method was used, and data were collected through an online survey. The study focuses on identifying potential factors that may influence the development direction or strategy of smart clothing. By classifying past experiences and attitudes towards smart clothing into positive and negative categories, it was found that positive responses to smart clothing were heavily influenced by expectations from technology and convenience. Participants' experience with smart technology has had a positive impact on their evaluation of smart clothing. Consumers with negative attitudes towards smart clothing expressed expectations for new benefits resulting from technological development, and indicated that they would consider purchasing such clothing in the future when design and technology improve. Ultimately, this study provides a valuable reference for the development of smart clothing products in Korea by analyzing consumer experiences and acceptance conditions towards smart clothing.

There are now many different commercial weather sensors suitable for smart farms, and various smart farm devices are being developed and distributed by companies participating in the government-led smart farm expansion project. However, most do not comply with standard specifications and are therefore limited to use in smart farms. This paper proposed the connecting structure of operating non-standard node devices in smart farms following standard specifications supporting smart greenhouse. This connecting structure was proposed as both a virtual node module method and a virtual node wrapper method. In addition, the SoftFarm2.0 system was experimentally operated to analyze the performance of the implementation of the two methods. SoftFarm2.0 system complies with the standard specifications and supports non-standard smart farm devices. According to the analysis results, both methods do not significantly affect performance in the operation of the smart farm. Therefore, it would be good to select and implement the method suitable for each non-standard smart farm device considering environmental constraints such as power, space, distance of communication between the gateway and the node of the smart farm, and software openness. This will greatly contribute to the spread of smart farms by maximizing deployment cost savings.

Many countries are increasing their investments in smart grid technology to enhance energy efficiency, address climate change, and trigger a green energy revolution. In addition to these goals, Korea also seeks to promote national competitiveness, prepare for the growth of the renewable energy industry, and export industrialization through its strategic promotion of the smart grid. Given its inherent representativeness for Korean implementation of the smart grid and its growth potential, Jeju Island was selected by the Korean government as the site for smart grid testing in June 2009. This paper presents a new design for the electricity market and an operational scheme for testing Smart Electricity Services in the Jeju smart grid demonstration project. The Jeju smart grid test-bed electricity market is constructed on the basis of day-ahead and real-time markets to provide two-way electricity transaction environments. The experience of the test-bed market operation shows that the competitive electricity market can facilitate the smart grid deployment in Korea by allowing various demand side resources to be active market players.

With the recent global urban issues such as climate change, urbanization, and energy problems, the smart city was proposed as one of the solutions in urban planning. This study introduces the smart city initiatives of South Korea by examining the recent history of smart city policies and their limitations. This case study reflects the experience of one of the countries which thrived to building smart cities as their national key industries to drive economic growth. It also analyzes the trends of the smart city using big data analysis techniques. Although there are obstacles such as economic recession, failing to differentiate from the U-city, low service level than expected smart functionality, We could recognize the current status of the smart city policies in South Korea such as 1) Korean smart city development projects are actively implemented, 2) public consensus suggests that applying advanced technology and the active role of government need, 3) a comprehensive and strategic approach with the integration and application of advanced technologies is required as well, 4) investment by both private and public sectors need to deliver social improvements. This study suggests future direction of smart city polity in South Korea in the conclusion.

Smart factory has been regarded as a big opportunity for manufacturing industries. However, little literature has been studied for the current status of Korean smart factory. Our paper tries to find gaps between research and real world by summarizing the recent literature and cases in Korean context. As the present level of smart factory introductions in Korean small manufacturing firms is lower than what a variety of literature says, our study points out that more efforts, investments and government support are required to catch up with the knowhow and technologies of developed countries although real-time control, enhanced productivity have been obtained. In future research, we will continue the smart factory study with the accumulated real data.

Purpose: This study analyzes advanced cases of overseas smart cities and examines policy implications related to the creation of smart cities in Korea. Research design, data, and methodology: Analysis standards were established through the analysis of best practices. Analysis criteria include Technology, Privacy, Security, and Governance. Results: In terms of technology, U-City construction experience and communication infrastructure are strengths. Korea's ICT technology is inferior to major countries. On the other hand, mobile communication, IoT, Internet, and public data are at the highest level. The privacy section created six principles: legality, purpose limitation, transparency, safety, control, and accountability. Security issues enable urban crime, disaster and catastrophe prediction and security through the establishment of an integrated platform. Governance issues are handled by the Smart Special Committee, which serves as policy advisory to the central government for legal system, standardization, and external cooperation in the district. Conclusions: Private technology improvement and participation are necessary for privacy and urban security. Citizens should participate in smart city governance.

With the recent advances in smart grid technologies and the increasing dissemination of smart meters, the power usage of each time unit can be detected in modern smart building environments. Thus, the utility company can adopt different price of electricity at each time slot considering the peak time. Korea government also announces the smart-grid roadmap that includes a law for realtime price of electricity. In this paper, we propose an efficient power scheduling scheme for smart buildings that adopt smart meters and real-time pricing of electricity. Our scheme dynamically changes the power mode of each consumer device according to the change of power rates. Specifically, we analyze the electricity demands and prices at each time, and then perform real-time power scheduling of consumer devices based on collaboration of each device. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the electricity charge of a smart building by up to 36.4%.

본 연구는 미국 텍사스 주 오스틴 시의 환경정책 형성과정에 대한 역사적 고찰을 통해, 환경운동과 환경정책과의 관계를 파악하고 그 역사적 경험에 대한 이해를 목적으로 한다. 특히 가장 최근의 도시 환경정책으로서 "스마트 성장 정책(Smart Growth Initiative)"에 대한 정책분석을 시도한다. 오스틴은 과거 35년 동안 급속한 인구와 경제발전을 경험하였고, 이러한 과도한 발전에 대한 경험은 오스틴 시민들에게 환경적 인식을 키우는 계기가 되었다. 오스틴 시 정부는 "도시기본계획(Comprehensive Plans)", "분수계 보호 조례(Watershed Protection Ordinance)", 그리고 가장 최근의 "스마트 성장정책(Smart Growth Initiative)"에 이르기까지 다양한 환경정책 등을 통해 이러한 환경적 문제들에 대처하려고 노력하여 왔다. 본 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. "환경적 이슈 등이 최근 30년간 오스틴 시의 정책적 우선순위가 되어 왔음에도 불구하고 환경정책 노력들이 시의 제도적인 부분으로 완전히 흡수되는 데에는 실패했다" 이러한 결론은 환경운동과 환경정치적 행위자들의 노력이 환경정책 형성에 있어 중요한 동기를 제공함에도 불구하고 진보적인 도시 환경체제(Progressive Environmental Regime)를 유지하는 데에는 충분하지 않음을 보여준다.
