ABSTRACT

Child-friendly cities refer to an infrastructure that enables children with diverse characteristics to enjoy happiness. Child-friendly cities should be able to strengthen their effectiveness rather than remain in a single brand, value and ideology. Now it is necessary to pay attention to the specific entities and contents for the guarantee of children's rights. However, numerous studies have only been focused on the values and justification sought by child-friendly cities. In this paper, we look for future directions by diagnosing the status of child-friendly cities. We focus on Seoul metropolitan, which is actively promoting the creation of child-friendly cities. We collect a number of news articles from Naver, the biggest web portal in South Korea. We then analyze the child-friendly trends from the massive news articles by employing Big data technology. Analysis of association rules as well as keyword frequency has been addressed to identify the specific entities, main targets and major areas of promotion of child-friendly cities. We find out that the characteristics of child-friendly cities are similar between Seoul and the other local governments. We suggest that future child-friendly cities should be able to take the initiative in the participation of various entities. Furthermore, child-friendly cities should reflect the diversity of children and promote universal diffusion as well as characterization simultaneously. In the future, many efforts to create a sustainable child-friendly cities are required by promoting public-private governance and developing diverse contents.
