  • This study has intended to analyze citizen's recognition on Photovoltaic (PV) System Supply Policy in Korea. To reach this goal, this study has employed a survey method and statistical analysis. We have asked 140 citizens knowing the policy to some degree to answer questionnaires including various contents related to PV supply policy driven by central government of Korea. The contents of questionnaires consist of three parts: 1) supply policies, 2) PV system and 3) expected effect from the policy. To verify any differences among the characteristics of respondents, ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) was carried out in 95% confidence level. This study has found the following results: 1) most citizens were positive about the 'Photovoltaic System Supply Policies'; 2) most citizens anticipated the policy would be helpful to cope with the environmental problems and energy crisis and 3) there exit subtle differences between residents according to the respondent's characteristics such as sex, age, occupation, and housing type.

  • This study was designed to analyze the status of government policy on the computerization of health centers throughout the country and to identify the factors affecting a successful implementation of the information system. As expected, age and commitment of health center director, computer budgets, user training, and technical supports from the information specialists were the important factors influencing the successful implementation of the system. Compared with the urban health centers, fewer rural health centers installed the system perhaps due to lack budgets and the urban-oriented system features. Moreover, the systems were unevenly distributed according to the geographic regions. Some strategies for successful dissemination of the systems were also suggested.

  • Over the past two decades, smart cities have been attracting attention as a means of solving urban problems and as a model for securing urban sustainability. Many studies have been conducted in various fields such as conceptual definitions, classification, new technologies, case analysis, and civic participation of smart cities. In particular, applicable technologies and their importance have been highlighted so far. However, since a city is a complex and meta-systematic space, it is the overly optimistic prospect that technology, one of the smart city components, will lead to successful smart cities. This study elucidates the impediments to driving smart cities as a case study of South Korea, a leading country in smart technology and digital transformation. We examined three comprehensive national plans for promoting smart cities and conducted focus group interviews with experts in smart cities to analyze the obstacles to carrying smart cities. We classified the thirteen impediments into technological, industrial, governmental, and social factors as a result. Some of them are generic issues in policy establishment and enforcement, while others are specific to smart cities.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between suburban waterfront und urban regeneration strategies. Specifically, This paper investigates how urban design strategies for suburban waterfront has been conceptualized and realized in a case-based research study of the regeneration of suburban waterfront in Berlin, Germany. Since Germany's reunification, Berlin was faced a wide variety of challenges and has been transformed into a new capital city. First of all, Wasserstadt Berlin-Oberhavel was a key development task for the urban regeneration in Berlin. The Wasserstadt Berlin-Oberhavel project with over 207 hectares will provide new residential urban areas, office spaces, educational facilities and cultural facilities. In details, 3,640 apartments with 12,700 units and around 4,800 jobs will be created. Method: The study consists of five sections. The first and second section are divided into two stages:"waterfront definition in urban design" and "urban design strategy in waterfront". The third section explores the waterfront development process of Wasserstadt Berlin-Oberhavel. The fourth section aims to investigate the strategies for urban regeneration as well as waterfront development. Finally, the fifth provides some of the key policy challenges for Urban Regeneration in suburban waterfront area. Result: The results showed that urban regeneration strategies in suburban waterfront have a substantial impact on all two dimensions: relationship between waterfront and urban context, relationship between waterfront and natural environment.

  • This study was to find out the quantitative relation between urban treed area(neighborhood parks) and the atmosphere environment in real condition, focusing the gas-phase non-reacting air pollutants(SOx and NOx) decreasing function of trees in urban area. It also developed a quantitative analysis method for evaluation of the atmosphere influence in the type of treed areas. We set up the Pagoda Park in Seoul and its neighbourhood as a modelling area to analyse air quality impacts by urban neighbourhood park trees. From the modelling result of the Pagoda Park case study, it is concluded that urban neighbourhood park has an important meaning to suppress construction of emission sources which drive the urban polluted air quality worse, even though park's trees have relatively small air purifying function. Especially in the urban area severely contaminated by air pollutants, the first considered air quality management policy is conservation of green spaces in neighborhood park.

  • The purpose of the study is to propose a policy implication of urban logistics in the Incheon metropolitan city. To attain the aim, it reviews new characteristics that Logistics Policy Fundamental Law(LPFL) published by government 2009 suggests and studies the previous papers like Logistic Fundamental Plan(LFP) of other metropolitan cities. After that it proposes a policy implication through benchmarking of urban logistics plan at Tokyo city not only located at a capital area at Japan but also including port and airport. The results are as follows. Firstly, field survey studies of the "LFP" every five years will need to keep pace with "Urban Fundamental Plan"(UFP) having designed to all cities legally every ten years. Secondly, Incheon will be required to create value-added logistics, making best use of third-party logistic companies to small-medium sized businesses along with the age of green. Thirdly, LFP needs to be performed through a mutual cooperation and adjustment among Incheon, Gyeonggi-do and Seoul and in this regions eco-friendly companies performing related logistic activities have to be followed executive and financial supports. Lastly, it will be obliged to develop a evaluation management index to understand the advancement level through a feedback system.

  • The purpose of this paper is to search the factors which influence the distribution of commercial function. Commercial function plays the most important role in determining urban spacial structure. The location of commercial function is influenced by topography, accessibility, population, and urban policy. Due to the lack of formal data these factors have not been studed to the full. But GIS makes it possible to conduct researches in analyzing these factors. The results are : (1) The index of employment density connects with topography, population, accessibility and urban policy. (2) The location of commercial function is influenced by these factors (3) GIS is a useful tool in analyzing urban spacial structure.

  • This research focuses on accomplishing analysis problems and issues by examining the policies and systems related to geo-spatial big data which have recently arisen, and suggests political and systemic improvement plan for service activation. To do this, problems and probable issues concerning geo-spatial big data service activation should be analyzed through the examination of precedent studies, policies and planning, pilot projects, the current legislative situation regarding geo-spatial big data, both domestic and abroad. Therefore, eight political and systematical improvement plan proposals are suggested for geo-spatial big data service activation: legislative-related issues regarding geo-spatial big data, establishing an exclusive organization in charge of geospatial big data, setting up systems for cooperative governance, establishing subsequent systems, preparing non-identifying standards for personal information, providing measures for activating civil information, data standardization on geo-spatial big data analysis, developing analysis techniques for geo-spatial big data, etc. Consistent governmental problem-solving approaches should be required to make these suggestions effectively proceed.
