After carrying out a preliminary project for establishing a plan for a year and demonstrating a solution (1 billion won/site), if selected as the main project, 15 billion won (2% local cost) will be supported for two years to promote the expansion project.

ㅇ Town Challenge is worth 1 billion won per city when it is selected as the main project after a one-year plan establishment period (government expenditure of 3 million won/location) to derive local community problems and seek solutions through the Living Lab in which citizens participate ( 40% local cost matching) to carry out the construction project for one year.

 

《City Challenge 》- barrier-free transportation environment, new renewable energy, mobility innovation

□ '21 City Challenge Main project is Busan, which creates an inclusive city by building a barrier-free transportation environment for the traffic-poor, and Jeju, which seeks to innovate urban infrastructure by linking renewable energy and shared mobility, and tourism by enhancing the convenience of public transportation. Gangneung City was selected, which presented a successful model of a regional small and medium-sized city that saves people and small businesses.

① (Busan) During the preliminary project period, Busan experimented with convenient and accessible means of transportation, centering on Dong-gu, where the proportion of the traffic weakened was 36.5%*. By providing'indoor navigation for subway stations', the route finding time was shortened by 25%, and a'barrier-free station**' was installed in the mountainous area where public transportation was insufficient due to steep slopes, making it more convenient and safer to use by 1,200 citizens.
* 28.3% of Busan's average traffic-poor (elderly, disabled, pregnant women, infants)
** A space where you can wait for special vehicles or public transportation using the ride sharing platform

-In particular, in connection with the'demand-responsive bus' and the'ride sharing platform' where taxis can be shared, the waiting time was reduced by an average of about an hour, and the travel time was reduced by 1%, and the transportation cost was reduced by 38%. .

-In the future, this project plans to expand barrier-free navigation centering on subway stations, and build barrier-free stations and ride-sharing platforms throughout Busan. In addition, by promoting a safety zone* that prevents collisions between pedestrians and vehicles in traffic-poor protection zones, and a data lab that creates big data that can be used by the private sector, the city will be reborn as a smart city where people can experience a safe and convenient traffic environment. Plan.
* Establishment of protection zones for the elderly and the handicapped and safety facilities for the vulnerable who frequently have accidents during crossing

② (Jeju) Jeju Island has planned a smart hub model that links renewable energy and shared mobility in consideration of local conditions where the production of new and renewable energy and the ratio of electric vehicles are high*. Jeju Island uses technology to store, transfer, and charge the energy produced in batteries, based on the experience of frequently stopping power generation because it is difficult to store even if it produces eco-friendly energy. It plans to charge green mobility (electric vehicles, electric kickboards, electric bicycles, etc.).
* Ranked 1st in the nation's share of electric vehicles among the number of vehicles (0.5% compared to 5% nationwide), plans to supply 23 thousand vehicles by '392

-In addition, gas stations with an increasing proportion of electric vehicles and gradually decreasing in use will be converted to'smart hubs' to utilize shared mobility as a base space for rental, return, and charging.

-During the preliminary project period, Jeju Island operates 8 smart hubs and 72 shared mobility units, reducing carbon emissions by 30 tons*, eco-friendly shared transportation means 1.44% of traffic, and renewable energy sharing 4,490 per month. As the kwh was expanded, sales revenue of local communities also increased by KRW 1,383 million per month. In this project, the smart hub model will be further expanded, and a platform for electric power transactions between neighbors in the region will be established through a smart city regulatory sandbox.
* Similar to the number of tons of CO120 emitted per month by 2 households in Jeju Island

-Jeju-do's smart hub model was evaluated as expected to greatly contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality in 2050 declared by the government last year through the use of new and renewable energy and improved use of eco-friendly mobility.

③ (Gangneung) Gangneung was evaluated as presenting a small and medium-sized city smart city model that revitalizes the local business district of small businesses with convenient public transportation and digital platforms. We built an integrated mobility platform (MaaS: Mobility as a Service) called the'Fine Pass App' that allows you to use personal mobility such as electric kickboards, city traffic, and KTX tickets, and link real-time information of 78 small business stores to these apps. It also provided a reservation function. Based on the opinions from the Citizen Participation Living Lab, a dedicated road for personal mobility (PM) was also installed.

– During the preliminary project, about 7,800 tourists and Gangneung citizens installed the “Fine Pass App” to use personal mobility and electric vehicle services, and the travel time to the business site was reduced by about 40% compared to using a taxi or car* In addition, illegal parking in the business area also decreased by 38.4%. As the use of private cars decreased, the number of visitors to stores in alleys increased by an average of 25% per day, and the number of store reservations using the app reached about 300, and there was also an economic effect of revitalizing local commercial areas.
* 18 minutes using shared kickboard compared to 11 minutes by taxi or car (KTX Gangneung Station-→Myeongju-dong)

-In this project, mobility stations will be expanded throughout Gangneung City, and in addition to KTX, Yangyang Airport and Gangneung Port ferries will also be connected. The goal is to provide a metropolitan-level public transportation convenience even in small and medium-sized cities by providing a one-day transfer discount service for city buses and mobility, and in connection with the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) project, which modernizes the public transportation trunk network system. The range of stores linked to small business owners will be expanded, and the marketing services provided will also be diversified to continue to revitalize local commercial areas.
