Korean public service broadcasting(PSB) is facing identity crisis and debate on improving PSB governance. In order to analyze the causes of the crisis of PSB, We attempted to typify the constituent factors of governance of PSB based on the perception of public service broadcasting employees and media professionals. The results of the study are summarizes as follows. First, PSB' governance is typified by four factors such as market influence, political influence, professionalism, and guarantee of PSB system. Secondly, it is analyzed that only political influence among PSB governance factors has a significant effect on the perception of crisis of PSB. Thirdly, it is analyzed that the way of constituting the KBS board and the ratio of personnel have a meaningful influence on 'political influence'. The results of this study confirm that Korean PSB needs to improve the governance structure of PSB away from political influence in order to secure the legitimacy and identity.

This study is primarily concerned with the discussion about the crisis of Korean Public Service Broadcasting within the context of changing media environment. The study firstly attempts to explain the causes of current problems of Public Service Broadcasting in general, and categorizes the patterns of Western countries' reactions to cope with the problems. Secondly, the present study deals with the case of Korean Public Service Broadcasting. This paper argues that Korean Public Service Broadcasters have adopted four salient strategies: 1) They have tried to achieve high program ratings based on non-distinctive programming; 2) They have preferred the commercial advertising revenues as the primary financial resource; 3) They have attempted to expand their social power while exploiting their program contents; 4) Finally, they have tried to be a sole player in the decision making process, independent from all the other social forces such as the state, capital, and the civil organizations. This study suggests that four strategies should be reconsidered because those are far from the original ideas of Public Service Broadcasting.

Nanotechnology is now widely believed to be one of the most influential techno-sciences of the future. Or at least it is believed that way in most of industrial countries including South Korea. Naturally, the governments of these industrial countries are currently investing a sizable portion of their human and material resources in order to go ahead in this prominent area of research. Consequently, nanotechnology in these countries has become one of the social sectors where reasonable accountability is normally called for. I claim that reasonable accountability of nanotechnology should take into account the risk-perception of citizens as regards nanotechnology as well as its risk itself. Risk-perception could be variable, changeable, and prone to be polarized; still we should pay more attention to public risk-perception because it is clearly effective in mobilizing public movements, objective in the intersubjective way, and legitimate in a democratic society.

This study aims to analyze the intention of public library use of citizens by applying Ajzen's extended theory of planned behavior (ETPB). A questionnaire survey was conducted to identify the relationship between personal characteristics, factors from ETPB, such as attitude, subject norm, and perceived behavioral control, and the intention of public library use, Library knowledge was also added as an additional independent factor in this study. The results showed that attitude and library knowledge were more important factors than others. Subject norm and perceived behavioral control had also positive effects on the intention, Additionally, some personal characteristics, such as age, educational background, and household income, and public library use experience made significant differences in the intention. Based on the results, this study made some suggestions for expanding the scope of public library users.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of participation in cultural activities on happiness. The empirical results show that participation in cultural activities has a positive impact on individual happiness, because cultural activities cause entertainment and social contacts with people. Furthermore, the levels of income and education are analyzed by dividing them into high and low groups. Noteworthy is that the low-income and less-educated groups show lower participation in cultural activities than those in the high-income and well-educated groups, But the utility magnitude gained through cultural activities is higher. This implies that opportunity costs arising from financial and time constraints are greater in the low-income and less-educated groups than in the high-income and well-educated groups. Finally, for the low-income group, the marginal utility is reduced when spending on cultural activities exceeds certain levels, which means there exist a budget constraint for the low-income group.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact about emotional labor of sales service workers. Collected data were statistically processed by PASW 18.0 program using reliability, frequency analysis, T-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows. First, it was found that the sales service workers had higher deep acting than the surface acting of emotional labor. Second, it was found that altruism differed according to working period, conscientiousness according to gender, and work-family conflict according to age, marital status, and average customer response time per day. Third, the higher the surface acting of emotional labor, the higher the altruism. And the higher the deep acting, the less job burnout and work-family conflict decreased, and the altruism and conscientiousness increased. Fourth, as a result of analyzing the relative influence of variables related to emotional labor, the variable that has the greatest influence was the deep acting of emotional labor.

최근 수돗물 공급과정에 있어 적수, 유충 발생 등 지역 단위의 수질문제로 국민의 직간접적인 피해가 발생된 바 있다. 수질문제 발생 시, 소셜네트워크서비스(SNS)에 게시되는 피해 관련 의견은 시공간적으로 빠르게 확산되며, 궁극적으로는 물공급과정 전체의 부정적 인식증가와 신뢰도 저하를 초래한다. 따라서, 물공급시스템에서의 수질사고 발생을 빠르게 인지하는 다양한 방법론의 적용을 통한 피해 최소화를 위한 노력이 반드시 필요하다. 일반적으로 수질사고는 다양한 항목의 실시간 계측기에서 획득되는 시계열자료의 변화양상을 통해 판단할 수 있으나, 이와 같은 방법론의 효율적 적용을 위해서는 선진계측인프라의 도입이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 발달된 정보통신기술환경을 활용하여, 물공급네트워크 내 수질사고인지를 위한 SNS 별 웹크롤링 방법론을 제안하고, 적용결과를 분석하였다. 방법론의 구현에 앞서, 각종 SNS 별(트위터, 인스타그램, 블로그, 네이버 카페 등) 프로그래밍을 통한 웹크롤링 가능여부, 정보획득 기간 등을 확인하였으며, 과거 유사 수질사고 발생 시 영향력과 관련 게시글이 크게 나타난 네이버 카페와 트위터를 중심으로 웹 크롤링 절차를 제시하였다. 네이버 카페의 경우 대상급수구역 내의 시민들이 다수 참여하는 카페를 목록화하고, 지자체명과 핵심 키워드(수돗물, 유충, 적수) 조합을 활용한 웹크롤링을 수행하여, 관련 게시물 건수와 의미를 실시간으로 분석하는 절차를 마련하였다. 개발된 SNS 별 웹크롤링 방법론에 따라 과거 수질사고가 발생된 바 있는 2개 이상의 지자체에 대한 분석을 실시하였으며, SNS 별 결과에 있어 차이점을 확인하여 제시하였다. 향후 제안된 방법을 적용하여 시공간적 수질사고 정보의 전파 및 확산양상을 추가적으로 분석할수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The increasing use of personal mobility has led to a rise in traffic accidents and social issues. Consequently, the government is continually revising laws and regulations to address the problems associated with personal mobility. This study conducted a survey that reflects user characteristics and public perceptions based on the law revised in May 2021. The personal characteristics, legal awareness, usage patterns, risk characteristics, and risk factors were analyzed. The analysis indicated that driving on roads without separate sidewalks, speeding, and carrying passengers are hazardous practices. Moreover, Poor awareness of the legal framework governing personal mobility results in law violations. These results are significant as they highlight the need for policy measures regarding institutional and legal improvements, and they underscore the importance of enhancing social awareness about safety as personal mobility become more widespread.

The purpose of this study is to examine major factors that affect patterns of living arrangements of older Korean noncitizens in the United States using the 1990 8% Public Use Microdata Sample(PUMS). In order to do so, I analyzed the effects of four factors including acculturation(English proficiency and Age at migration), economic circumstances(Personal Income and Supplemental Security Income: SSI receipt), health status(Mobility and Personal care limitation), and the ethnic community. The results show that acculturation and economic circumstances play an important role in determining the patterns of living arrangements among older Korean aliens, whereas the health status and the ethnic community do not show consistent effects. Regardless of marital status, the impact of age at migration is positively associated with solitary living of older Korean noncitizens, though, the effect of English proficiency show the opposite direction in accordance with marital status. That is, among nonmarried elders, those who cannot speak English are more likely to live alone. The case is reverse for married elders. The impact of economic feasibility is also positively associated with independent living arrangements. Those who receive SSI are much more likely to live apart from family, and elders whose annual personal income between $5,001 and $10,000 have the greatest propensity of solitary living-a large proportion of their income source is SSI. Individuals who receive SSI are also qualified to collect Medicaid, food stamps, rent subsidies, and other welfare benefits. In a sense, the economic feasibility provided by welfare benefits is the key determinant of independent living of older Korean noncitizens. Therefore, the recent welfare reform which denies legal aliens welfare benefits such as SSI and food stamps will severly affect the present living arrangements of older Korean aliens, and give economic burden to their family member The findings also show that there are significant differences within the elderly Korean Americans in terms of demographics, income, fertility, health status, and patterns of living arrangements by U.S. citizenship status. In particular, after controlling for age at migration as a proxy for acculturation, there is a statistically significant variation in living arrangements between elderly Korean noncitizens and naturalized citizens. For both theoretical and methodological reasons, future research on minority aging needs to investigate the concept of U.S. citizenship status for its impact on patterns of living arrangements among the minority elderly.
