| Abstract | This study is an empirical analysis of bridging the digital divide through smart solutions. It was based on a demonstration of the “Smart Venue Project Group” among the consortiums selected for the “2021 Smart Campus Challenge Project,” which was organized by the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Previous studies have only been focused on the status of the digital divide in terms of accessibility, capability, and utilization. This study is meaningful as it explored data from actual facilities that provided digital devices, education, and digital information in the selected project site. For analysis, the data on the smart venue was divided into three timeframes: Pre-experience, active-experience, and post-experience. Users had the opportunity to experience various smart devices. Moreover, with an on-site smart coordinator, the users felt comfortable using the devices. This is considered to be a major result in terms of actual users in terms of which aspects of the business to focus on to bridge the actual digital divide. Before designing the space, a living lab was operated in advance, and the utilization methods for the space were identified based on the variables refined. Consequently, five factors were extracted: The status of smart city information awareness, the status of a city and regional problems, smart venue satisfaction, resolution for digital information gap, and service satisfaction. Based on this, the space was built, and hardware, software, and applications were developed. The analysis showed that the awareness level for information about the smart city increased over time. With information access, people’s interests in their urban and regional problems increase. Satisfaction with the space was enhanced from the improved reliability and convenience due to the app developed for the space. It is judged that the above results can be used as basic data for the implementation of the smart city project in the future, and since this project is ultimately based on empirical evidence rather than diffusion, it is necessary to consider scalability based on this. © 2022, Success Culture Press.
