In this research, a design of mobile web magazine based on Kansei engineering is studied. Following the procedure of Kansei engineering, we executed user survey to discover latent emotion elements in mobile web magazine, which were 'attractive', 'open', and 'unique'. Corresponding design elements were found to be slide design, text layout, and proportion of image. The methodology of universal design was adopted to improves on those design elements so that the proposed design can be applicable to wide range of users. We could verify the potential of the proposed design method through expert interviews on the developed prototype mobile web magazine.

This paper focuses on proposing an alternative solution via identifying the problems that domestic popular magazines encounter in the context of the recession crisis faced by printed media in accordance with the advent of the digital media era. Firstly, current-state investigation and in-depth interviews with editorial staff of the major 4 domestic women's magazines were conducted to analyze their brand positioning and change of direction in facing the rise of smart devices. Secondly, domestic women's magazines were compared with international popular magazines that have been successfully undergoing digitalization. Accordingly, domestic women's magazines lack the know-how to digitalize their publication and show limitations in collaboration, openness, trans-media, and cross-media. As most women's magazines are unprofessionally composed of gossip articles having popular appeal rather than practicality, it is an urgent issue for them to differentiate their contents from competitors.

This study attempted to present a strategic direction that helps in vitalizing the domestic fashion and beauty magazine industry by examining the factors that influence the intention to use the fashion beauty magazine curation service. A survey was conducted on 314 college students in Korea, and the results were derived through a series of analysis processes using the SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. Technology self-efficacy had a positive effect on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, perceived value had a positive effect on perceived usefulness. Technology self-efficacy and perceived value had a positive effect on intention to use, perceived ease of use had a positive effect on perceived usefulness. Perceived ease of use did not have a significant effect on intention to use, but perceived usefulness had a positive effect on intention to use. In order to increase the intention of using the mobile-based fashion beauty magazine curation service for college students, it is necessary to clearly understand the value and usefulness of the curation service.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the direction of communication design through in-depth interviews on the topic of gender equality, which is an active theme of social issue happening worldwide, and to suggest a direction to provide better social issue communication direction. In order to do so, firstly, I researched case studies and investigated the characteristics of gender magazines such as If, Ferm and Womankind. Secondly, I conducted an empirical study of in-depth interviews to identify the emotional adjectives by women and men by different age groups from gender equality storytelling magazine experience. As a result, I was able to grasp two points necessary. First of all, for the gender equality content messages closely related to everyday stories level down the barrier and become easier to empathize with. Second of all, the more complex the social issues are, the more sustainable and credible if the content developed steadily and contingently. This study is meaningful in that it suggested a series of directions for communicating gender equality issues. Future research should complement the suggested directions for gender equality communication design and contribute to guiding further directions.

21세기 정보통신기술의 수많은 화두 중의 하나로 단연 사물인터넷을 꼽는다. 주변의 모든 사물과 사물이 네트워크로 연결되어 궁극적으로 인간의 삶을 보다 유익하고 편리하게 하는 디지털 인프라를 통칭한다. 지난 5월 개최된 서울 디지털포럼의 기조 발표는 아시아 인터넷의 아버지라고 불리는 전길남 교수가 맡았다. 모든 사물의 연결은 TCP/IP 기반의 인터넷이 대표할 것이라는 반증인 셈이다. 미국 와이어드 매거진의 편집국장인 캐빈 캘리는 인터넷을 하나의 글로벌 머신으로 비유하기도 했다. 수년 전 우리나라를 강타했던 3D 영화, 아바타 속 줄거리가 어쩌면 우리의 현실이 될지도 모른다. 세상이 하나로 빠르게 연결되고 있는 것이다. 이에 본 특집에서는 사물인터넷 관련 국내외 기술 표준화 현황 및 전망에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 먼저 ITU-T 및 JTC 1 등 주요 국제 표준화기구에서의 사물인터넷 표준화 현황과 oneM2M, IEEE, IETF, W3C 등 주요 사실 표준화 기구에서의 사물인터넷 표준화 현황을 정리한다. 또한, GS1에서의 기술 표준화 현황과 국내 사물인터넷포럼에서의 산업체 중심의 표준화 활동에 대해서도 살펴보고자 한다. 모쪼록 금번 사물인터넷 특집을 통해 사물인터넷 분야의 국내 산업체 주도 표준화 노력이 더욱 배가되기를 기대해 본다.

Information technology (IT) revolution rapidly advanced from the end of the 20th century has caused an extreme change in the publication market, which brought fierce struggle for existence. In this whirlpool, magazine, which is settling as a part of culture and as a center field of publication, presswork, is concentrating in making new determined position with comparatively liberal theme. So identity study that enables readers to remember a magazine more easily, will suggest a new direction of improvement as a culture business by inducing the brand-making of a magazine. This study is focused on the ability of configuration of its unique image of a magazine building an identity in the magazine design field. Each type of magazine has common characteristics but even though it is grouped into same type, it shows mobility on the relative importance of application according to the strategy of the magazine rather than matching perfectly to the type. The result is limited to the range of professional design magazine. However, through result-pursuing study procedure, it is anticipated of its gui dance of improvement of magazine design at large as well as professional design magazine by inquiring of consequence and utility of Magazine Identity in the digital age and clarifying the role of magazine design.

There are lots of limits on preventing illegal transaction of digital contents by existing DRM(Digital Right Management) methods because of illegal download and share of contents, which is resulted from advanced information technologies, development of cloud services, and smart instruments. In the other hand, the number of creators based on one person, in the area of music, webtoon, digital magazine and video, is increasing. As a result, it is needed that the necessities of digital contents transaction under the condition of convenience and efficiency through licence and management of contents to protect copyright of contents and to increase the transaction of digital contents. Therefore how to promote the transaction of digital contents should be studied by way of research analysis of contents market through interviewing experts in business.

Technologies that are leading the fourth industrial revolution, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cyber-physical systems (CPS) are developing and generalizing. The demand to improve productivity, economy, safety, etc., is spreading in various industrial fields by applying these technologies. Digital twins are attracting attention as an important technology trend to meet demands and is one of the top 10 tasks of the Korean version of the New Deal. In this study, papers, magazines, reports, and other literature were searched using Google. In order to investigate the contribution or role of geospatial information in the digital twin application, the definition of a digital twin, we investigated technology trends of domestic and foreign companies; the components of digital twins required in manufacturing, plants, and smart cities; and the core techniques for driving a digital twin. In addition, the contributing contents of geospatial information were summarized by searching for a sentence or word linked between geospatial-related keywords (i.e., Geospatial Information, Geospatial data, Location, Map, and Geodata and Digital Twin). As a result of the survey, Geospatial information is not only providing a role as a medium connecting objects, things, people, processes, data, and products, but also providing reliable decision-making support, linkage fusion, location information provision, and frameworks. It was found that it can contribute to maximizing the value of utilization of digital twins.
