In this study, we classified SNS into open and closed types, and empirically examined in which SNS activity the privacy paradox holds. The idea comes from the argument that privacy paradox may be observed differently in the open SNS, which is more vulnerable to the leakage of personal information due to public profiles, and the closed SNS, which is relatively less vulnerable by limiting the range of acquaintances, The results of the empirical analysis are as follows. First, in case of SNS usage, the privacy paradox holds in the overall SNS activities, but different conclusions are drawn according to open and closed SNS. In particular, it is found that as privacy concerns increase, individuals respond in a reasonable and desirable way to reduce SNS activity in the open SNS, which is more susceptible to infringement. Second, in the case of SNS activity intensity, (i) heavy users are more seriously aware of the probability of privacy infringement than light users, so there is a reasonable response to reducing the intensive margin with increasing privacy concerns, and (ii) this tendency is more clearly observed in open SNS, which is more vulnerable to privacy infringement. Accordingly, insisting that the privacy paradox is empirically established by observing only the overall SNS activities without distinguishing them into open and closed SNS may be interpreted as a "Fallacy of Composition."

Most Social Network Service (SNS) provide online chat, video and file sharing, blogging and others. Because of this advantage, people depend on SNS to communicate with others. However, recently SNS encourage people to reveal too much information broadly so SNS users are concerned about privacy invasion and data spill. They also feel fatigue in process of touching people they don't know while using SNSs. That is the reason why they attempt to switch from opened SNS to Closed SNS. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically investigate and analyze the effect of the factors on the SNS users' switching behavior when using SNS. To accomplish this purpose, this research adopted "Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM)" framework. The PPM is proposed by population geologist, who used it to explain the incentives of demographic migration. Following PPM model, this research empirically examines the three categories of antecedents for SNS switching intention toward closed SNS: push (i.e., weak connection, privacy concern, relative complexity), pull (i.e., enjoyment, belongingness, peer influence), mooring (i.e., SNS fatigue, user resistance) factors. The survey was conducted for 285 users on SNS communities in Korea. The results of this study are as follows; First, wear connection and privacy concern are significantly related to SNS switching intention. Second, enjoyment and belongingness are significantly related to SNS switching intention. Finally, the results show that SNS fatigue has a moderating effect on the links between push factors and SNS switching Intention. Also, user resistance has a moderating effect on the links between pull factors and SNS switching Intention. These findings contribute to the SNS literature both theoretically and practically.

This study examined the effects of perceived value (functional value, social value) and stress (complexity, insecurity) on continuous intention in SNS. In particular, this study examined the direct and indirect impacts of SNS type on the intention of continuing to use SNS. The research model was tested for 461 respondents that used SNS. SPSS 21.0 and PLS 2.0 techniques were used to perform reliability, feasibility, path and hierarchical regression analysis. The summary of the research results is as follows. First, the results indicate that functional value and social value have positive effects on satisfaction. Second, the results indicate that complexity had a negative effect on satisfaction. Third, the results indicate that insecurity and satisfaction have positive effects on continuous intention. Fourth, the results indicate that SNS type had a negative effect on continuous intention. Fifth, it was shown that SNS type had a moderating effect in the relationship between insecurity and continuous intention. Specifically, Insecurity had a stronger effect on continuous intention at closed-type SNS than open-type SNS. These findings suggest that closed-type SNS companies will have to address the anxiety of SNS users by providing various items and system devices.

A new communication revolution such as social networking service (SNS) has been transforming the way of interaction between people in both of individual level and organizational level. Recently many people have switched to closed type SNS such as Naver Band and Kakao group due to the several reasons. The purpose of this study is to investigate the usage motivation and satisfaction of SNS based on use and gratifications perspectives. Based on prior studies on use and gratifications of Internet-related media and SNS, information motivation, relationship motivation, pleasure/entertainment motivation, self-expression motivation, work motivation were identified as usage motivation of SNS. This empirical study explores how these motivations vary between open type SNS(facebook and twitter) and closed type SNS(band and kakao group). This study contributes to provide the base of activation strategies and practical implications for companies using SNS as a marketing tool.

IoT is emerging topic of the post-smartphone era. But IoT service is actually not easy but due to the absence of the open standard IoT service platform. In this study, We propose and implement IoT services platform using commercial SNS platform like Tweet, Facebook or YouTube. we implement the intelligent control system of the urban farm using our IoT services platform as an example. Our system can save an additional server deployment and management cost using open SNS platform like Tweet or Facebook or Youtube. In addition, there are needs to develop App. for the smartphone because we can take advantage of the user interface which is developed by global enterprises.

폐쇄형 SNS란 카페 블로그 등 온라인 상의 커뮤니티 서비스를 모바일로 옮겨 놓은 것이다. 이메일 주소나 전화번호로 연결된 모든 지인을 일괄적으로 친구로 등록하는 개방형 SNS와 달리, 친밀도에 따라 지인을 따로 관리할 수 있다. 개방형 SNS에 비해 가입자 폭은 넓지 않지만 이용자 충성도가 높다는 게 큰 장점으로 꼽힌다. 이에 본 논문에서는 폐쇄형 SNS를 통하여 학교에서 리더를 맡고있는 회장, 학회장 등에게 효과적으로 학생회를 운영 할 수 있는 어플리 케이션을 제공한다. 이를 통해 사용자들은 효과적인 학과 운영과 질높은 행사, 투명한 학회비 관리 등을 제공받을 수 있다.

Smart phones become popular all over the world recently. At the same time, demand of various additional services, such as SNS by utilizing low-cost reliable Wi-Fi network and position information, is expected to keep growing. In this paper, Implementation of SNS based on an Open Wi-Fi & Position Information was proposed. This service is achieved by constructing an Open Wi-Fi network based on a built AP access information database. And in order to provide durable connection in mobile environment, RSS detect AP switching module and mobile IP are utilized in the proposed service. Furthermore, with the utilization of GPS information of AP, AP providers could delivery various information such as advertisements, promotion events. In addition, it is possible for AP users to communicate with each other, thus a position information based SNS was also proposed in this paper.

After the 2020 Corona 19 pandemic, consumers' online consumption is increasing rapidly, and non-store online retail channels are showing high growth. In particular, social media is gaining its status as a social media market where direct transactions take place in the means of promoting companies' brands and products. In this study, changes in consumer behavior after the Corona 19 pandemic are different in choosing online shopping media such as existing online shopping malls and SNS markets that can be classified into open social media and closed social media when purchasing agri-food online. We tried to find out what type of product is preferred in the selection of agri-food products. For this study, demographic characteristics of consumers, perceived risk of consumers, and dietary lifestyle were set as independent variables to investigate the effect on online shopping media type and product selection. The summary of the empirical analysis results is as follows. When consumers purchase agri-food online, there are significant differences in demographic characteristics, consumer perception risks, and detailed factors of dietary lifestyle in selecting shopping channels such as online shopping malls, open social media, and closed social media. Appeared to be. The consumers who choose the open SNS market are higher in men than in women, with lower household income, and higher in consumers seeking health and taste. Consumers who choose the closed SNS market were analyzed as consumers who live in rural areas and have a high degree of risk perception for delivery. Consumers who choose existing online shopping malls have high educational background, high personal income, and high consumers seeking taste and economy. Through this study, we tried to provide practical assistance by providing a basis for judgment to farmers who have difficulty in selecting an online shopping medium suitable for their product characteristics. As a shopping channel for agri-food, social media is not a simple promotional channel, but a direct transaction. It can be differentiated from existing studies in that it is approached as a market that arises.

This study investigated how Schwartz' value system(1992) would interfere with SNS users' motivations and behavioral responses. The study result shows that values are characterized in terms of openness, mutual reciprocity, self enhancement, normative compliance, and security. Each of them exerted differential impact on SNS usage motives, social capital, ad response, and word-of-mouth, among others. The five values were used as an input for segmenting SNS users and clustering method produced four value segments; experience seeker, interdependent sympathizer, self enhancer, and norm-bound. Each value group not only influenced SNS perceptions and behavioral responses differently, but also showed a systematic relationship with SNS service types. The study findings demonstrate that Schwartz's value system provides a very useful theoretical basis for understanding the psychological mechanism underlying SNS usage.

공공기관에서는 인터넷 방송 서비스를 통해 문자, 그림, 사진, 영상, 음악 등 다양한 멀티미디어 정보를 제공하고 있다. 일반 지상파 tv방송과는 달리 공공 인터넷 방송은 양방향으로 커뮤니케이션이 가능한 웹 미디어 플랫폼을 통해 실시간으로 정보를 주고 받을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 이용자가 원하는 정보를 주문하고 서비스를 받을 수 있어 공공기관과 이용자간 소통수단으로 활용되고 있다. 그러나 공공 인터넷 방송의 시청률과 참여하는 양방향 콘텐츠의 다양성 측면을 분석해 보면 예상과 달리 이용실적이 저조한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 문제의 주요한 원인으로는 근래에 들어 확산되고 있는 스마트 모바일 환경에 실시간으로 대응하여 공공미디어 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 공공미디어 접근성의 한계와 인터넷이라는 양방향 미디어 플랫폼을 지향하면서도 제공하는 공공콘텐츠는 공급형 중심의 콘텐츠 성격을 벗어나지 못한다는 점을 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 공공 인터넷 방송의 문제점을 사용자 접근성과 양방향 콘텐츠 활성화라는 측면에서 분석하였다. 그 결과 공공 인터넷 방송 플랫폼의 개방성이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 다양한 스마트 모바일 환경에서 공공콘텐츠의 생산, 게시, 공유가 자유로운 공공 미디어 플랫폼 형태가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 HTML5, SNS플랫폼 연계 등이 포함된 개방형 공공 미디어 플랫폼 모델을 정의하고 이를 기반으로 양방향 공공콘텐츠를 활성화 할 수 있는 공공 미디어 서비스 모델과 이를 구현한 구축 사례를 제시하였다.
