The objective of this study is to examine the association of social networks and medical care utilization of elderly living alone depending on self-rated health status, and also to measure the moderating effects of welfare services for elderly. To this purpose, the data which was collected from the 2014 National Survey on Elderly in Korea was analyzed by Chi-square test and Poisson regression. According to the results, social networks and elderly welfare services affected to medical care utilization of elderly living alone, only who aware of their self-rated health status as bad. With this group, the frequency of contact with family and participation in lifelong education had a significant effect on increasing medical care utilization. In contrast, the frequency of contact with neighbors and the participation in elderly employment program were significant to reduce the utilization of medical care. Furthermore, the moderating effects of elderly welfare services were also measured that formal social gathering has an effect of increasing the medical care utilization of elderly living alone by expansion of their social networks. Based on these results, this study consequently has an implication for suggesting expansion of elderly welfare services, which might be an alternative to social networks of elderly living alone, and also for seeking the direction of political intervention that helps health promotion and disease prevention through the research of medical care utilization.

Marital status has drawn much attention as previous studies have been pointed it out as a key factor of health. Nonetheless, systematic studies on elderly marital status and health have been quite limited, for most researches have neglected the varying effects of marital status on health over the lifespan and mainly focused on midlife. This study, using nationwide survey on elderly population, attempts to discover the health differentials between widowed and married elderly and explain the differences though the structure and function of their social network. The results reveal that the magnitudes of marital status effects were differed by dimensions of health. The widowed were more likely to be unhappy than married, even after controlling the socio-demographic characteristics. In physical health, however, the health differences between widowed and married were less noticeable or disappeared, as sex, age and other structure factors were considered. Furthermore, the strength of social network factors affecting the physical and mental health of elderly turned out to be different between married and widowed: widowed were more likely than married to be affected by the contact with children and less likely to be affected by contact with friends/relatives. Such results had both positive and negative impact on physical and mental health of widowed. This may imply the difference in pathways of regulating health among the married and widowed elderly.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cause-and-effect relationships among positive verbal expressions from family members, social network, and disability identity as the determinant factors of intention to work. To achieve the goal, 453 persons with disabilities and with experiences of using facilities for the disabled were studied, who were recruited for the national survey of domestic violence in 2010. For the research subjects, the cause-and-effect relationships among the major factors were examined by using a structural equation model. According to the results, disability identity and intent to work tended to be higher as they had experienced more of positive verbal expressions from their families. Moreover, a more participation in social activities increased disability identity, but not intent to work. Lastly, disability identity was found to be a determinant of intent to work. Based on the results, we provide suggestions to achieve social inclusion of people with disabilities by raising the intent to work.

In traditional social network analysis, the betweenness centrality measure has been heavily used to identify the relative importance of nodes in terms of message delivery. Since the time complexity to calculate the betweenness centrality is very high, however, it is difficult to get it of each node in large-scale social network where there are so many nodes and edges. In this paper, we define a new type of network, called the expanded ego network, which is built only with each node's local information, i.e., neighbor information of the node's neighbor nodes, and also define a new measure, called the expended ego betweenness centrality. Through the intensive experiment with Barab$\acute{a}$si-Albert network model to generate the scale-free networks which most social networks have as their embedded feature, we also show that the nodes' importance rank based on the expanded ego betweenness centrality has high similarity with that based on the traditional betweenness centrality.

Recently, the information visualization research community has given significant attention to graph visualization, especially visualization of social networks. However, visualization of information flows in a very large social network has not been studied in depth. However, information flows are tightly related to the structure of social networks and it shows dynamic behavior of interactions between members of social networks. Thus, we can get much useful information about social networks from information flows. In this paper, we present our research result that enables users to navigate a very large social network in Google Maps' method and to take a look at information flows on the network. To this end, we devise three techniques; (i) mapping a very large social network to a 2-dimensional graph layout, (ii) exploring the graph to all directions with zooming it in/out, and (iii) building an efficient query processing framework. With these methods, we can visualize very large social networks and information flows in a limited display area with a limited computing resources.

This study examines 2014 National Survey on Older Koreans (10,279 persons aged 65 or above) to understand social networks among older Koreans. In order to classify the types of social relationships, the latent profile analysis is conducted based on such structural aspects of social networks as network size, frequencies of contact, and closeness. The results show that older Koreans can be categorized into 5 distinct social network types: disengaged (11.6%), ritual-family-focused (17.7%), close-family-focused (23.6%), close-restricted (28,4%), and diverse (18.8%). Characteristics by each social network type are compared and multinominal logistic regression analyses are applied to figure out the influencing factors of social network type. Older persons with disengaged social network ties tend to be overwhelmingly female, living alone, old-old, and of low socioeconomic status. On the other hand, older persons with diverse social network ties tend to be young-old and had highly-ranked jobs in their mid-life. Spouse/children are the focal point of social relationships in both ritual-family-focused and close-restricted social network. However, the proportion of men is higher in the close-family-focused type than in the ritual-family-focused. Older Koreans with close-restricted social network ties tend to be female, uneducated, and have engaged in agricultural and allied activities. This study discusses the implications of its findings and how research in this area should develop in the future.

초고속 인터넷망의 보급으로 멀티미디어 환경에서의 디지털 콘텐츠 생산 및 유통은 시간적, 공간적 제약을 뛰어 넘어 다방면으로 활성화되고 있다. 네트워크 구조에서의 파일전송기술에 의해 디지털 콘텐츠는 인터넷 공간에서 역학적인 사회적 관계을 맺은 사용자에 의해 공유되고 있으며, 공급과 수요의 증가로 불법 콘텐츠 시장이 육성되어 저작권에 대한 법적인 이슈가 날로 첨예화 되고 있다. 본 연구는 네트워크 환경에서 사회적 연결망을 기반으로 한 사용자의 콘텐츠 공유 행위에 대한 심리적 요인를 분석함으로써, 사용자간의 관계 조명 및 상호작용과 콘텐츠 공유의 동기부여요인 대해 논의해 보고자 한다. 이를 위한 첫번째로 현재 인터넷 시장의 디지털 콘텐츠 공유현황 분석이 선행되었고, 두번째로 가상공간에서의 커뮤니케이션은 사회적 관계형성이란 관점에서 사용자간의 공유 행위를 정리하였으며, 마지막으로 공유 행위자의 심리적 욕구를 아브라함 매슬로우(Abraham H. Maslow) 욕구단계설을 근간으로 하여 재조명하였다. 이는 네트워크 구조에서의 콘텐츠 생산에 활성화를 위하여 다각적인 측면으로 접근하였으며, 향후 정법화된 디지털 콘텐츠 시장 조성을 위한 가이드로 제시하고자 한다.
