스마트도시 구축에 있어 지방자치단체의 기능적 한계와 역량 강화를 위한 개선방안

Smart cities are pursued by modern society as urban models that increase city efficiency, improve citizens' quality of life, and secure sustainability by utilizing advanced technologies such as ICT (information and communication technology), IoT (Internet of Things), AI (artificial intelligence), and big data. Smart cities are building prediction platforms by incorporating digital twin technologies based on digital-based social overhead capital such as data, cloud, network, and AI infrastructure. Such urban planning should be carried out in harmony with the balance between local governments and a sense of national unity centered on the central government. However, because smart city projects involve enormous initial funds and continuous management, it is desirable to gradually promote them at a regional level, and accordingly, local governments' separate urban planning should be the backbone. Local governments should establish smart city strategies and establish digital SOCs to have smart city management capabilities based on digital twins and AI technologies. However, except for large cities, most local governments need to strengthen their capabilities due to financial, technical, organizational, and environmental constraints. Therefore, this study reviewed the limitations of local governments due to each restriction, proposed ways to secure technical and organizational manpower, enhance financial independence of each local government to promote independence, and proposed the introduction of a capability verification system to verify this. As a result, we hope that the implementation of an ideal smart city in the era of the 4th industrial revolution will be an accelerated future.
