This study was carried out to contribute to the self-help and sustainability of grassroots business in Gangwon-do. To achieve this, after setting up the concept of community business, understanding the current designating status of community business and analyzing the business content and the business promotion system, I tried to analyze the continuing factors of businesses and shops, which are more than hundred years old, in Japan and seek a solution to the sustainability of community business in the province. The community business in the province, which is designated and operated, is like this; 86 preliminary social businesses, 62 town businesses, 38 social businesses. The total comes to 186. The preliminary social businesses and the social businesses are assigned more in urban area and the manufacturing sector and educational field have a lot of business contents. When it comes to the business promotion system, there are many incorporated companies and limited companies. While the town businesses are assigned more in county area, the agricultural food field and cultural world have a lot of business contents. When it comes to the main participant of business, the agricultural corporations took the first place overwhelmingly. Especially, I found out that the main participants of community business consist of 38 voluntary associations, which is 20.4 %, and we need to make up for the specialty deficiency in business management. In order to keep the continuity of community business in the province, we could achieve the results of manpower development through the case analysis research, securing good materials which can give the consumers confidence, increasing the quality of the products, maintaining high technical skills, keeping up the tradition of business and demanding forecasting. I think a successive research efforts will be required for securing good materials and increasing the quality of the products in tandem with the local community. And also we need to establish a supporting & operating system through the liaison between the business & academic world, business & administration, and business & business for securing a management specialty as an industrialist.

국내에서 온라인 커뮤니티는 1990년대 말 인터넷과 개인 PC의 급속한 보급으로 인해 대중화되기 시작했다. 커뮤니티는 이용자 간 활발한 커뮤니케이션을 기반으로 구축되고 있으며 이러한 커뮤니케이션은 일상적인 언어적 맥락을 바탕으로 구성된다. 이러한 커뮤니티의 내용 분석은 연구자의 직관에 의해 수행되기 마련이나 연구대상의 양이 많아질 경우 연구자의 직관만으로는 이를 분석하는데 제약이 있을 수 있다. 네트워크 분석은 이와 같은 문제점을 해결 할 수 있는 방법 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 온라인 임신 Q&A 게시판의 내용적 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 네트워크 분석을 수행하였다. 먼저 수집한 데이터의 전체적인 내용적 특성을 살펴본 후, 게시글 작성자인 임산부의 임신 시기에 따른 게시글의 내용적 특성을 살펴보았다. 분석 결과 임신시기별로 핵심적인 단어의 빈도의 차이가 있었으며 네트워크의 구성 또한 다른 것을 확인하였다. 또한 성별에 따라서도 그 내용적 특성이 다른 것을 살펴 볼 수 있었다.

This study examines how online community activity influences social capital and the moderating effect of personal characteristic between them. Hierarchical regression and two-way ANOVA analysis were conducted with 9,479 samples. The results show that online community activity positively associated with off-line social capital, and it is observed that the effect in older people is stronger than younger people. This study extends previous perspective on the online community activity toward social capital and empirically proves that the activity have also an impact on off-line social capital. The moderating effect of age implies that activation plans of community for older people are required in order to increase social capital.

Recently, attention has been drawn to the issue of local community revitalization. In the U.S., CDC(Community Development Corporation) has become a main vehicle for revitalizing dilapidated inner-city communities. Using the case of Philadelphia in the U.S., this paper investigates the way in which local community revitalization or downtown revitalization can be successfully achieved through the formation of social capital and public-private partnership. Futhermore, exploring the cases of West Philadelphia CDC and University City, this paper seeks to provide insight into the dynamics of successful community development. In order to examine the dynamics, this paper focuses on local governance in terms of both the reciprocal partnerships and the close networking among participating agents. The implications of the case studies of this research for the Korean context would be that the bottom-up approach starting from the local-scale community revitalization and local governance is very crucial and indispensable for the sustainable regional or national development.

기업이나 단체는 고객과의 관계형성 강화와 충성도를 높이기 위해 온라인 커뮤니티를 조직 차원에서 활성화하고 있고, 개인들은 사회 연결망(social network) 강화를 위해 개인의 관심사${\cdot}$가치${\cdot}$흥미${\cdot}$문화 등에 따라 특정 온라인 커뮤니티 사이트를 통해서 다양한 정보 획득과 구성들 간의 관계를 형성해 가고 있다. 이러한 추세에 힘입어 온라인 커뮤니티 사용자들은 상호작용성을 높이기 위해 아바타를 커뮤니케이션의 전달매체로 활용하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 아바타가 웹사이트 간 신뢰전이에 어떻게 영향을 미치고, 아바타 유무와 아바타 유형에 따라 신뢰전이가 어떤 차이가 나는지를 실증분석을 통해 검증하였다. 첫째, SERI와 SERI 포럼 사이트간에 신뢰전이가 부분적으로 발생하고 있으며, SERI 포럼 내에서는 변수들간의 모든 가설이 모두 유의하게 검증되었다. 둘째, 아바타 유형에 따라 SERI와 SERI 포럼 사이트간에 신뢰전이가 발생하는데 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 모(母) 사이트의 신뢰는 자(子) 사이트의 품질요인과 포럼활동 만족도에 직${\cdot}$간접적으로 일부분 영향을 미쳤다. 다만, 중개자 신뢰는 시스템신뢰에는 유의한 영향을 주지 못하며, 피드백 메커니즘은 정보 품질과 시스템품질에 유희한 영향을 주지 못한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop community design evaluation factors for sustainable urban regeneration and to suggest considerations for sustainable community design by analyzing excellent community design cases. Through literature review, previous studies on the concept and core items of sustainable urban regeneration, and the concept and components of community design were considered. In addition, evaluation indicators for sustainable community design were developed in the socio-economic, physical, environmental, historical and cultural dimensions through the analysis of the linkage with the evaluation factors of community design through the analysis of previous studies. The evaluation index consists of 3 evaluation items and 9 items including social performance and participation at the social level, economic feasibility at the economic level, environmental characteristics at the physical and environmental level, accessibility, contextuality, locality at the historical and cultural level, identity, and artistry. Includes dog evaluation factors. Reliability and effectiveness are secured through the developed evaluation index and detailed description and expert verification. Exploratory factor analysis and expert interviews were conducted through the survey, and as a result of the analysis, the stability and Cronbach'α coefficients were verified, and the validity of the community design evaluation index considering sustainable urban regeneration was recognized through expert interview. The results of this study are considered meaningful in that they can provide basic data for the improvement of community design for sustainable urban regeneration in the future.

There has been research to understand users' information behaviors using book circulation data of public libraries. In this study, we examined the subject areas of books simultaneously borrowed by users of public libraries and aimed to identify the relationships among the subject areas. To accomplish this, we utilized the Korean Decimal Classification codes of 984,790 loaned books in 2019 to transform the lists of concurrently borrowed books, totaling 22,443,699 records, by the same users on the same day, into vectors using the ITEM2VEC technique. Next, we extracted ten highly related classification codes for each classification code, utilizing a total of 522 classification codes to create a network. We identified 15 communities within this network and examined the characteristics of each community. Among the 15 communities, those consisting of two or more main classes allowed us to identify meaningful thematic associations. This study, grounded in users' book usage behaviors, has suggested the topics of books that could be borrowed together. The findings offer valuable insights for library collection development and placement, recommending related subject materials, and revising classification systems.

This study investigated what factors influence the knowledge contribution in online communities. Based on the theoretical framework like self-presentation theory and organizational citizenship behavior theory, we developed the research model and proposed four hypotheses. In order to test our hypotheses with an empirical study, we have conducted a survey which resulted in 192 valid responses in the final sample. The PLS analysis results indicate that knowledge contribution is influenced by self-presentation, innovation, organizational citizenship behavior, and affection similarity of online community users. Practical implications of these findings and future research implications are also discussed.

Only a few studies investigated the relationship between exchange structure and solidarity in online communities and even reported conflicting results. This study attempts to shed lights on this relationship by introducing a moderating variable, i.e., exchange benefits, based on the social exchange theory. Also, distributed knowledge is considered as a determinant of exchange structure. The results of a field study from 380 online communities show that both direct and generalized exchange structures have positive effects on community solidarity, but their effects vary depending on the level of exchange benefits. When exchange benefits are high, generalized exchange influences community solidarity more than direct exchange does, whereas at a low level of benefits there are no significant differences between the two exchange structures. Also distributed knowledge turns out to be a significant influencer of generalized exchange.
