Up to the present point in time, the level diagnosis system for urban reactivation have utilized various methods for establishment and management in Korea and overseas, such as city competitiveness evaluation, urban decay diagnosis, etc. However, contrary to performing diagnosis and evaluations on general cities in existing studies, it is found to be a very complex and difficult task to perform a diagnosis on the level of U-City due to its unique characteristics. It is difficult to determine the level of a U-City using a level diagnosis system used for general cities because a U-City is comprised of a connection/fusion of various structural elements. Therefore, in order to perform a systematic diagnosis of a U-City, it is necessary to primarily observe the structural characteristics of a U-city to derive a diagnosis system based on the relativity between each structural element. This study aims to propose a directivity of a U-City level diagnosis system in comprehensive consideration of various elements, such as the objective of a U-City, as well as the structural elements that compose a U-City based on the definitions prescribed in U-City legislations, including ubiquitous city planning, ubiquitous city infrastructure, ubiquitous city technology, services, etc. The results of this study are expected to provide a resolution for the regional quality differences of U-Cities, and also establish a stepping-stone for the realization of U-Cities with high degree of completion.

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.

In this paper, the design methodology of information security is analyzed to implement the ubiquitous city (u-City). The definition, concept, and main u-services of u-City are presented. The main components, functio ns and offering services of u-City management center are presented, and the laws and network security requirements related to protect the personal information in collecting, processing, and exchanging are also analyzed. Three step security levels of Router/Switch, Firewall/VPN, and IPS are applied where main functions of in terception of abnormal packets($1^{st}$ level), access control for each service($2^{nd}$ level), and real-time network monitoring($3^{rd}$ level) are performed. Finally, application cases are presented to validate the security of personal information in providing the u-City services.

The Korea built successfully e-Korea based on the best of internet infrastructure which was constructed in the world. Continually, Korea is constructing u-City for twenty-first century to enhance the quality of life and to grow up IT industrial. But there is no standard model for u-City because three main builders, central government, local autonomous entities, and communication carriers have respectively their objects, targets and domains. If u-City would be constructed by the common infrastructure for ubiquitous communication, it will be possible to provide any ubiquitous services and compatibility. And the communication infrastructure has to be reflected on the first stage of city planning to reduce high cost for u-City construction. This paper mentions firstly the ranges of communication infrastructure and shows how to construct it each range.

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.

The information technology paradigm has been shift to smart service environment, as ubiquitous technology is used in the latest industry trend. The convergency between industry facilities and ubiquitous technologies accelerate related studies and technologies because of increasing accident prevention and decreasing cost. However, ubiquitous technologies are not used to life environment and industry facilities, because those technologies did not consider industry domain characteristics by means of developing IT technology for common environment until now. This paper aims to develop wireless city gas safety management system, which provide efficient service, and establish the field oriented wireless data transmission infrastructure in order to use ubiquitous technology to city gas facilities.

The adoption of ubiquitous technologies is increasing for the realization of new effective u-City services. u-City is defined as a next-generation informatization city that can innovate a city's various functions, such as improving the welfare of the citizenry, ensuring safety based on systematic urban management, improving the quality of lives, and increasing convenience in city life, by merging cutting-edge information and telecommunication infrastructures and ubiquitous information services with urban space. There is therefore a need to recognize that a successful u-City implementation strategy involves developing the previous UIS into a ubiquitous technology-based UIS and integrating UIS's various urban informations with effective u-City services. In this paper, for UIS-based u-City implementation, the intelligent integration model of urban spatial information based on interoperability is proposed.

The ultimate purpose of cities is 'the enhancement of quality of life in city'. In order to achieve this, it is required to optimize the Ontology-driven ubiquitous services included in the U-City and UIS of regions and communities and so on. Almost U-Service's contents are related to spatial or temporal extent. So it is important to design Spatio-temporal event schema for efficient access to U-City. There is a rapid change into an urban society in the shape of Ontology-driven ubiquitous services in which a content on a region or an incident is newly reconstructed through various ideas with the influence of the ubiquitous environment.
