Interest in safety and disaster prevention has recently emerged due to the increasing vulnerability to natural and social disasters and an aging society. However, basic research on the consumption of smart safety and disaster prevention services has not been conducted in South Korea. In this paper, we identified socio-demographic characteristics affecting the preference for smart safety and disaster prevention services using data from the Jeollabuk-do Social Survey. We found that respondents who are younger, married, living in residences other than apartments, or in cities are more likely to prefer smart safety and disaster prevention services to other services. The results can be used as basic data in prioritizing the supply of smart safety and disaster prevention services in Jeollabuk-do (North Jeolla Province), and provide policy implications for the provision of smart city services across the nation in the future.
