Brand identity research for smart city companies to export Korean-style smart cities

In order to export Korean-style smart cities, a strategy and image, or brand, are needed that differentiate them from other countries. Therefore, in this study, we apply David Aaker's brand identity theory to analyze existing models and domestic smart city cases and seek strategies to form a unique brand unique to Korean smart cities.
