South Korea continues to lead the way in digital opportunity with its recent, innovative and ubiquitous city projects. The u-city initiative in South Korea is a national urban development project that focuses on strengthening the role of information and communication technologies in civic planning and management. This study tracks the changing dynamics driving the information society initiative of South Korea to evaluate the process of design and development of u-city. This study reviews qualitative data related to the u-city projects, describes the transformations and translation of this data

Abstract:
The process of studying urban planning implies the involvement of land use and land surface studies. They are largely necessary on a range of topics and issues. Sustainable development depends on con-trolling the effects of change. GIS can achieve this through its various capabilities, which can be used by urban planners and decision makers. GIS can operate as a tool and as a system, or even as a group of systems that work simultaneously or sequentially. GIS is one of the most important applica-tions of urban planning. This study is devoted to the peculiarities of the use of geoinformation tec

Abstract:
New and complex technologies are exceedingly present and in widespread use in contemporary cities globally. The urban lifeworld is saturated with various applications of information and computing technologies, but also more rudimentary forms of technology construct and create the urban everyday life as we know it. Many forms of urban technologies are perceived first through their everyday aesthetic qualities: how they look, feel, sound, or are otherwise encountered within the streetscape. Philosophical aesthetics, however, has tended to overlook everyday technologies as a topic, often due to u

The transnational (re)making of contemporary urban pacification practices, discourses, and technologies between Brazil and Israel is underpinned by coercive entanglements.

Abstract:
As digital technologies like smartphones, social media, and mobile GPS become increasingly integrated into daily life, they are transforming our interactions with public spaces, but the interactions between the two have yet to be sufficiently explored. This paper examines technology’s impact on public spaces through a meta-analysis of existing literature on design, technology, and culture, and offers new hypotheses of how technological advancement will affect these spaces in the future. It finds that technology is redefining public space by affecting mobility, reducing urban legibility, and al

Abstract:
"Smart cities" describes places that incorporate a range of technologies (especially those that collect and use data) to address economic, social, and environmental challenges. Projects usually take place in urban areas, but are also deployed in rural settings. This POSTnote looks at smart city innovation in the UK and the technologies involved. It considers the factors driving the adoption of smart city technologies, and the potential benefits, barriers and risks associated with their implementation.

Abstract:
Technological innovations in sanitation are poised to address the great need for sanitation improvements in low-income countries. Worldwide, more than 2.4 billion people lack access to improved sanitation facilities. Innovative waste treatment and sanitation technologies aim to incorporate user-centered findings into technology engineering and design. Without a focus on users, even the most innovative technology solutions can encounter significant barriers to adoption. Drawing on a household survey conducted in urban slum communities of Ahmedabad, India, this research brief identifies toilet a
