Purpose - Competition among cities around the world are rapidly shifting from competition of production factors such as labor costs and quality of raw materials to competition between the consumption factors such as quality of life, settlement environment, culture, and place. The entry into the era of competition between consumption factors is not only attracting investment for strengthening city competitiveness, but also actively inducing urban image reconstruction and new image making. Therefore, various studies related to urban marketing are being carried out. The object of this study is to investigate the effect of city brand image on city brand recognition and city loyalty based on the questionnaire of external citizens about Changwon city. Research design, data, and methodology - The data were collected from 200 Seoul and Busan citizens. Reliability and exploratory factor analysis were conducted through the SPSS program, and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted by using the AMOS program. Results - As a result of the hypothesis test, six hypotheses were adopted among the nine hypotheses. In summary, pleasant image, dynamic image, and good administrative image have a significant positive impact on city brand recognition. The magnanimous image did not have a significant effect on city brand recognition. In the impact of city brand image on city loyalty, magnanimous image and good administrative image had significant positive impact on city loyalty. Pleasant images and dynamic images did not significantly affect city loyalty. In addition, city brand recognition positively influenced city loyalty. Conclusions - First, it is possible to say that there is an academic significance of this research in its contribution to regional revitalization by investigating mutual influences in urban aspect by combining place marketing with image, recognition, and loyalty. Secondly, kinetic images such as pleasant image and dynamic image have more influence on recognition, and static images such as magnanimous images have more influence on loyalty. So, further research will be necessary to establish theories. Finally, In order to increase city brand recognition and city loyalty to local city, efforts should be made to improve urban images such as pleasant image, magnanimous image, dynamic image, and good administrative image.

Rapid economic development in Korea caused functions of city functions such as concentration of population, deterioration of the quality of living environment and traffic congestion. Korean cities have lost their identity becausr they are merged functionally and physically with neighboring cities, forming one mesa-city. Unified shape and disorganized streets of cities often cause confusion among foreigners and visitors. It is very difficult for them to find their image in strange cities. It is, however, important to correctly analyze the image and meaning of cities for understanding its identity. The purpose of this study is to develop a method to analyze the city image by focusing on some of the main cities in Korea. For this purpose, the adjective questionnaire and multi-dimension scaling (MDS) are applied to the analysis of city image. Image analysis graph by MDS can visually present the general and integrate images. The results of this study are summarized as follows: The important factors for interpretation of city image are historical and industrial character. Seoul, Taegu and Pusan have industrial and complex city images. Kongju has historical city image, while Changwon has a modern image. Chuncheon belongs to a soft and small image. Each city has an alternative solution against a negative image, according to the image analysis graph.

This article statistically analyzed contributive levels of district image based on an effect and a similarity index through the evaluation of citizens and suggested the efficient management system of a city image according to the results. For this study, Busan City was selected as a case city by the preceding literature and was investigated concerning district image and city image through a questionnaire. The new evaluation method for analysis of a city image was presented in this process. The results of this research are as follows: 1. Busan City has a substantial positive and culturally unique image, and each of its districts have other image characteristics. for example, the CBD district has a positive image, and the sea shore district has a busy and prosperous image, but the backward sea shore district has an image of stagnancy. 2. The image of Yeonje-gu has the largest effect on the image of Busan. Next in influence are Jung-gu, Saha-gu, Suyoung-gu, respectively. The effect index is closely connected with the variance of evaluative adjectives. 3. Busanjin-gu and Haeundae-gu have similar images to Busan City. Next in similarity are Nam-gu, Jung-gu, Youngdo-gu, Suyoung-gu, respectively. The similarity index is closely connected with the correlation of evaluative adjectives. Busan City and its districts can establish their image strategies with the above analyzed results. This study is meaningful in that a statistical evaluative method was proposed. With continued follow-up research, this study may serve as a systematic and logical model to improve the urban landscape and image.

Since the 1990s, with the beginning of local autonomy, most Korean cities have tried to establish and reinforce their own identity. The Law on the Planning and the Use of National Land, which took effect in January 2003, requires major and minor cities to manage and develop a city image and a marketing strategy to reflect their current condition. However, many cities continue to experience confusion in implementing urban landscape planning because no efficient and systematic method has been provided for the analysis of a city's image. The absence of systematic analysis methods makes it difficult not only to assess the current condition of a city accurately but also to choose an appropriate policy for the given city. Consequently, many cities suffer excessive trials and errors in implementing the correct policies for their city. The purpose of this study was to analyze the image: of Kongju, which has many historical properties. For this purpose, adjective questionnaires and multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) were made use of in order to assess the city image. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. There are five properties that serve as landmarts lie symbolize Kongju: Muryeong royal tomb, Castle Kong, Mt. Gyeoiryong, Forest Museum, and Kongju National Museum. 2. Based on the citizen survey regarding the city type, Kongju is seen as a historical and an educational city. 3. Based on the image positioning (image spatial plot), Kongju is described as an old and familiar city. There we, however, no landmarks which are in accord with the image of Kongju. It is difficult to establish and reinforce the image of a city with a single element like a landmark However, with steady follow-up research, this study may serve as a systematic and logical model to improve the urban landscape and image.

이 연구는 대구광역시의 새로운 도시 브랜드인 '메디시티 대구'의 등장 과정을 살폈다. 또한, 이 연구는 또한 '메디시티 대구'라는 브랜드가 가지는 수동적인 장소 이미지와 능동적인 장소 이미지를 고찰하였다. 수동적인 장소 이미지는 이 도시 브랜드에 대한 대학생들의 인식을 설문조사하여 파악되었다. 반면에, 능동적인 장소 이미지는 도시 당국과 홍보관계자들이 이 브랜드를 통해 구축하려는 도시 이미지 전략과 더불어 이미지 구현을 위한 경관과 이벤트 등을 통해 파악되었다. 대구광역시는 '메디시티'라는 새로운 도시 이미지를 이용하여 도시 경쟁력을 확보하고 지역경제의 활성화를 꾀하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 의도와 달리 새로운 도시 이미지 확산에 어려움을 겪고 있고, 의료산업이나 의료서비스를 도시이미지로 내세우는 다른 도시들과의 차별성을 확보하는데 한계가 있다.

본 연구는 지역축제의 성공적인 운영을 통하여 도시이미지를 개선하고 이를 통해 사회문화적, 경제적 파급효과를 높이기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 국내의 많은 지자체에서 운영하고 있는 지역축제의 현실은 경제적 파급효과의 극대화를 도모하는데 포커스가 맞춰져 있다. 그러나, 지역축제는 도시를 중심으로 수행되어야 하며 이렇게 운영될 때 도시가 갖는 이미지가 정립될 수 있고, 장기적으로 다양한 프로그램을 통하여 도시마케팅으로 연계가 가능해진다. 지역으로의 관광객을 흡입하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 지역축제 참가자의 도시이미지 변화에 대한 내용을 중점적으로 다루었으며, 그 개선방안으로서 IT기술을 활용한 모바일 환경조성과 실시간 서비스를 제공함으로써 지역이 갖는 변화와 혁신, 전통과 문화의 조화를 통하여 도시만족도를 제고할 수 있는 대안을 제시하고자 하였다.

This study examined the perceived contingent factors that affect South Korean citizens' image of the city they reside in. The respondents in this study perceived the image of their city through two dimensions--leading and safe--during the COVID-19 era. When respondents perceived the openness and expertise of the local government, the transformational and transactional leadership of the government leader, liberal political orientation of the leader, lower degree of law compliance of the mayor, high degree of citizenship, and high level of living infrastructure and competitiveness as attributes of the city, they were more likely to perceive the city as having a "leading" image. The perceived cultural characteristics of the local government, specifically the factor of hierarchy and regulation, the perceptions of citizenship, and all three variables regarding the perceptions related to city attributes (i.e., environmental, cultural, and living infrastructures and competitiveness) positively influenced the perception of a "safe" city image. Based on the results, various theoretical and practical implications were discussed in this study.

The city image is considered one of important symbolic and important factors in selecting the travel destination. Many cities are trying to be an attractive and popular city to tourists through the construction of a good brand image by utilizing their representative characteristics. This study measures the city brand image by applying a big data analytic method. In addition, the big data measurement results were rearranged and analyzed to identify further detailed city images by utilizing several previous interpretation methods. Our study has chosen Dubai since this city has the diverse images due to its regional as well as economic characteristics. In particular, nowadays Dubai has been recognized as one of the most important touristic places in the Middle East region for its modern and innovative images in spite of the limitations of location, weather, religion, and even political issues of neighbor countries. Founded on a big data analysis rather than a questionnaire-based survey, the presented interpretation methods are evaluated to improve the understanding of Dubai's diverse city images. In addition, based on the results of this research, it is expected to have a practical impact on establishing the effective marketing strategies to build and implement the valuable city brand image.

글로컬(Glocal) 시대는 국가 단위보다는 도시 중심의 지역 발전 경쟁이 심화되고 있다. 도시는 이미지의 생산과 소비를 통해 지역 발전의 가치를 창출한다. 이는 긍정적 도시 이미지를 통해 그 도시만의 매력을 높이는 것이 지역 발전 경쟁에서 우위를 선점할 수 있음을 시사한다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 평택시의 도시 이미지 개선을 위한 홍보 디자인 개발을 목적으로 평택시가 추구하고자 하는 이미지 가치와 발전방향의 제시함으로써 평택시의 긍정적 이미지 개선에 기여하고자 하였다. 연구의 내용으로는 도시 이미지의 개념과 필요성에서 도시 홍보의 효율적인 수단으로서 도시 이미지를 인식하였다. 이에 따라 평택시에 대한 현황 분석과 이미지에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 단계별 진행으로 시정홍보 디자인 개발을 통한 결과물과 활용방안 등을 매뉴얼에 제시하여 평택시의 긍정적 이미지를 개선하는데 기여하고자 한다.
