민간투자유치를 통한 u-City 구축사례 연구

Abstract

As a leading nation of ubiquitous technology, South Korea has been promoting u-City pilot projects throughout the country. According to 'Fundamental Construction Law of u-City', the type of u-City project is classified into existing-town and new-town. However, the most of the projects have focused only on the new-town. Pushing forward large-scale land development projects, Korea Land & Housing Corporation(LH Co.) under Ministry of Land Transport and Maritime Affairs(MLTM) have gained a development profit out of the u-City infrastructure and then donated the infrastructure to a local government without making any plan for operation. In the process of u-City pilot projects, existing-towns have been relatively ingored and a various of unexpected problems have occurred. Building the u-City of existing-town is not easy due to many constraints such as huge initial investment, validity and verification of projects, lack of useful services for citizens, lack of professional and outsourcing methods for business promotion, operating costs of the integrated control center, inadquacy of the law related, insufficiency of the institutional requirements and etc. This paper introduces a case of u-City construction for an existing-town, Ansan City, by a private investment project. The case will help boost u-City projects for existing-towns by solving their problems and providing an effective operational mechanism. As the first BTL(Build-Transfer-Lease) project for constructing u-City, 'Broadband Information Network Development Project' of Ansan City will provide a reference model of carrying forward u-City projects for existing cities.
