Recently, Jeju has been positively affected in the regional economy by the aspects of population growth but also faced problems in areas of residence, traffic, energy, and waste management. Due to limited resources and existing urban infrastructure in Jeju, it is important to come up with a new strategy that could solve this problem. In line with such a process, the importance of the ‘Smart City’ concept is becoming more and more emphasized. A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate multiple information and communication technologies (ICT) and enables both sustainable development of the economy and enhancing the quality of life. A smart city-based ICT and convergence technology would open up the connections to the new industries of Jeju, such as tourism. In this session, Jeju Development Institute intends to seek the direction of constructing the Jeju Smart City.
