아파트 정보화의 실태와 주민의식 -아파트 정보화 시스템 개발(I)-

This study was conducted to analyze the status of apartment informationalization through the research of distribution of super express network, apartment home pages and Inhabitants awareness. 1st. The construction business launched the full-scale apartment informationalization in 1999. Since then, the infomationalization has been developed multilaterally while the apartment home pages are playing a major role in cooperation with construction business and Internet business. The academic interest and research on the informationalization, however, are not enough. 2nd. The distribution of super express network, which is based on the informationalization is accelerated by the government policy. Especially in our country where the apartment is the major type of housing, we have favorite environment for the informationalization and can create our own housing culture. 3rd. The number of the apartment home pages now is increased to over 6,000, but its contents, know-how, and technique to build the system have not been advanced enough. 4th. So far the home pages have not been able to function well enough to strengthen the community awareness and are likely to result in the unbalanced informationalization. 5th. The study shows that residents interest in the computer and the Internet is fairly high. The utilization of the Internet is varied according to the age, sex, occupation, academic background, income and so forth. Especially they are not as interested in the housing informationalization as in the general information, but the preference of the apartment home pages and the super express network is so tremendous that its distribution will keep the momentum.
