Findings indicate that Jecheon's systematic approach to structural sustaining lifelong learning cities has been successful. Furthermore, the perceptions of citizens on Jecheon's efforts have been largely positive. However, several issues have been identified. First, a variety of lifelong education programs should be developed and distributed, Second, information channels by which people can access useful information about learning opportunities should be developed.
