Abstract

The urban population around the world, including Korea, is steadily increasing. It is predicted that 68% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050. Countries around the world are promoting smart city projects to solve problems such as urban problems arising from population concentration in cities, changes in population structure represented by low birth rate and aging, and climate crisis. Meanwhile, smart housing is being promoted to respond to demographic changes and climate crisis issues, similar to smart cities, by integrating innovative technologies related to the 4th industrial revolution into residential spaces. However, Korea's smart cities and smart housing are not spatially connected. Accordingly, this study attempted to draw implications by comparing and analyzing Japan's smart city cases to verify the hypothesis that they are not connected and to suggest alternatives.
 As a result of a comparative analysis between Korea and Japan at the level of spatial connectivity, it was found that as of 2021, Korea is carrying out smart projects in the order of administration > transportation > crime prevention and disaster prevention > environment, energy and water resources > culture, tourism and sports. In the case of Korea, it was found that smart cities are not connected to housing. As a result of analyzing Japan's representative smart city projects, Suita SST and Toyota Wovwn city, first, people living in the area (residents) were identified to connect private spaces (residences) and the city and discover services that residents can experience. Local communities, including local communities, must be actively utilized in service development. Second, with the concept of a space where people's lives are continuous, an integrated platform is required to prevent data connection disconnection. Third, an institutional system is required as an integrated area from the perspective of people and their lives.
