The Internet of Things Innovation Convergence University Project Group operated the 2024 winter semester in Jeju Island and successfully completed the Jeju Runcation program for three days from the 15th to the 17th. Five universities, including Sejong University, Dongguk University, Jeju National University, Daejeon University, and Jeju Halla University, participated in this Jeju Runcation.
Runcation is a concept that combines 'learning' and 'vacation', and Jeju Runcation is a new type of tourism and education program that combines learning and vacation by utilizing Jeju Island's beautiful nature and cultural resources. Accommodation and lectures were held at Jeju National University's dormitory and Ara Convention Hall, and various aspects of Jeju Island's nature and environment were utilized in the program schedule.
The core schedule of this Jeju Runcation was the 'IoT Utilization Ideathon'. The topics were 'Waste Integrated Management Service' and 'Jeju Smart Parking Management Service', which were selected by collecting opinions from Jeju residents with the goal of solving Jeju's current issues. The participating students used the field trips to Jeju IoT corporate cases (Yeonggil) and marine environment companies (Badasseugi) to come up with ideas for solving problems, and had creative learning and networking opportunities through various activities such as Dodubong night trekking and recording.
The 3-day Jeju Runcation itinerary was organized by Chorokmaeum Coaching (CEO Oh Yoon-joo), a runcation & coaching (sports + coaching) specialist company, and five experts, including a coding expert, a Jeju region expert, a sports expert, and a psychology expert, served as mentors for the college students.
Students who participated in Jeju Runcation had the opportunity to rediscover the value of the region through a new appreciation of Jeju Island’s culture and history, and it is expected that the continued hosting of Jeju Runcations in the future will have a positive effect on the Jeju region’s economy and tourism industry.
