Recently there has been increasing interest in "low carbon" and "green growth" as alternative ways to cope with global climate change and the rising environmental crisis. As a result, studies on how to plan a “low-carbon green city” are being conducted in diverse areas. In this context, the Korean Central Government has suggested a new policy direction they call the ""Low Carbon Green Village," and announced a plan for building a total of 600 Green Villages by 2020. These Green Villages can be divided into five types: Urban, Rural, Urban-rural, Mixed Mountainous, and Fishing. In this study, the concept of "Urban Green Village" was applied in the existing built-up metropolitan areas of Daegu City. Results showed that it is difficult for a small neighborhood unit in a metropolitan area to install both a biomass energy system and a natural energy system (e.g., photovoltaic systems, geothermal heat energy systems, etc.), which was proposed as basic infrastructure changes by the Ministry of Environment. However, it is possible to achieve the primary purpose of the Green Village Plan ? the installation of renewable energy systems and the inspiration of self-supplying, adequate energy demands - when both photovoltaic and geothermal energy systems are to be installed in neighborhoods. This study reveals that it is necessary to amend the original concept of Urban Green Village suggested by the Ministry of Environment. Instead, a new model entitled "Urban Green Village with Self-supplied Energy" should be investigated for existing residential areas that include the amount of land necessary to house a geothermal heat energy system.
