Along with the universalization of smartphones, smartphone addiction is becoming a physical and mental social problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relevance of the problems caused by addiction in 300 adolescents, adults and the elderly. The results showed that the use of SNS and messenger were most related to the negative factors such as health problems, depression, antisocial, schizophrenia, lower self-esteem, and lower social expectation. In addition, games and videos were analyzed to have relatively low negative problems. Focusing on the high addiction rate, the researcher further analyzed the preference for problem solution and discussed the improvement measures for smartphone addiction reduction.

This paper focuses on the usability of smart healthcare based on the development of Information and Communication Technology(ICT), briefly introduces concepts and the current status related to smart healthcare, and discusses strategies and future tasks in the field of mental health welfare in the COVID-19 era. This paper first introduces the smart healthcare programs of the National Mental Health Center and the Seoul Mental Health Welfare Center. Second, we introduce various smart healthcare programs used in Germany, China, the U.S., and Australia, review the actual examples, and examine both public and private responsiveness. Finally, we examine the possibility of using smart healthcare in the mental health social work system in South Korea and examine future tasks and implications. This paper would contribute to the growth of world-class mental health social work services.

In information society, Convergence was combined with a word 'digital'. Digital convergence means a service or new product which appeared through fusion of unit technologies in information and communication regions. The effects of convergence technologies and social phenomenons are visualized in overall regions of society such as economy, society, culture, etc. In this paper, we described a prospects and technologies needed in digital convergence environment. And we described a smart city which was leading case in digital convergence.

As smart convergence occurs, solving the digital divide issue for weak layers such as the elderly, handicapped and poor groups is becoming an emerging issue. This study aims to promote information service to encourage active participation of the weak layers and to bridge the digital divide among those under the digital switchover and the smart phone convergence environments. This study, comparing the environments of Korea and other major countries with respect to digital divide, found some differences and tried to suggest proper policies for Korea to remain as a leading IT country. We expect this study to help the government, industries, schools cope with the divide issues and establish proper policies to provide weak layers with equal opportunities to IT in the coming smart convergence era.

The purpose of this study is to analyze relationship between community participation and smartphone usage level. The study was conducted for 100 people aged 55 or older. We conduct a task-based questionnaire to evaluate smartphone usage level. The levels of smartphone use were reclassified as 0~3 points C level, 4~7 points B level, and 8 points or more A level based on task-based survey score. For data processing, SAS 9.4 was used. As a result, a total of 97 data were included in the result analysis, and 85 smartphone users(87.6%). There was a significant correlation between smartphone usage level and community participation(r=0.22). As a result of using ANOVA, the smartphone usage level and community participation scores showed a significant difference(p=0.04). This study confirmed that there is a difference in community participation by smartphone usage level. Most elderly people showed high smartphone education demand. It is considered necessary to develop educational programs and educational tools to improve educational satisfaction and smartphone usage.

하워드 라인골드는 (스마트 몹(Smart Mobs): The Next Social Revolution, 2002))에서 지구촌 사람들이 통신과 컴퓨터 기술의 융합현상(Convergence)에 적응해가는 양상 및 그러한 융합화가 우리 사회에 던지는 의미를 고찰하고 있다. 스마트 몹은, ‘휴대하는 통신과 컴퓨터의 복합기능을 가진 네트워크 기기의 사용을 통해 서로 상대방을 모르는 상태에서도 비슷한 관심사를 가진 사람들을 발견하고, 상호 정보를 교환하고 모이며, 또 네트워크를 형성해서 일치된 협동 행동을 조정할 수 있는 사람들’로 정의된다. 산업화 이후 대량생산과 대량소비의 대상으로 전락했던 ‘군중’ 이 네트워크 기기로 무장해 똑똑하고 능동적인 주체로 거듭난 것이다.

Due to global population growth and urbanization, water problems are expected to increase in severity. In response to this expectation, Smart Water Management that refers to implement intelligent water information systems by IT convergence is considered a new paradigm. In this paper, we try to study the Smart Water policy, especially Smart Water Grid, and technology development trends in major countries. On the basis of results from the comparative analysis with Smart Grid in power sector, we evaluate political. legal, economic and technological feasibility related with the Smart Water Grid. In the conclusion, we suggest some strategic recommendations for the promotion of the Smart Water Grid.
