Launched in August, 2016, the online public benefit project ANT FOREST has planted more than one hundred million trees in desertification areas and is currently continuing on with its activities. It is a fruit of online communications network development, and the public benefit project based on this puts more emphasis on the spirits of public interest rather than the investments of public services, unlike traditional public benefit activities. Hence the purpose of this study is to figure out the interaction between the users supporting the online public benefit and the public benefit progress online. The study was divided into 4 stages in order to find out the interaction, key factors for users to continue to support online public interest. First, preceeding studies on online public benefit will be reviewed to understand the characteristics of online public benefit. Second, determine the public benefit nature of ANT FOREST and investigate the project progress. Third, review the usage rate of ANT FOREST and categorize the properties of users. Fourth, interview was conducted to direct the interaction between the online public benefit project and the user. In conclusion, the online public benefit project completes the public benefit process through the user, the operator, and the supporter, the important factor connecting the energy connecting the process in cyber space and the public benefit activity in reality is the sense of participation, and the user continues the public benefit project through this sense of participation.

This research aims to empirically explore the antecedents that could impact on internet users' information protection behavior. 282 of sample data collected from internet users was used to test the hypotheses. The results of this research reveal that the internet users' information privacy concerns has a significant impact on self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, and information protection behavior. In addition, we found that perceived usefulness and information protection behavior are significantly influenced by self-efficacy. However, contrary to expectations, perceived usefulness has no statistically significant effect on information protection behavior. These findings provide significant implications for online companies and internet uses as well as educational stakeholders that give educations about information protection.

This study identifies the factors that influence juvenile delinquency, which has increased both offline and online. It is hypothesized that the influence of negative parenting on online and offline juvenile delinquency is mediated through smartphone dependency and personal emotional problems. In addition, the study hypothesizes that participation in cultural activities soothes the influence. Using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis, a multi-mediation analysis, and a cross-group comparative analysis. The analyses found the significant mediation effect of smart phone dependence and personal emotional problems on the relationship between negative parenting and juvenile delinquiency. Participation in cultural activities overall weakens the hypothesized effects.

In recent years, the use of game bots by illegal programs has been expanded from individual to group scale; this brings about serious problems in online game industry. The gold farmers group creates an in-game social community so-called "guild" to obtain a large amount of game money and manage game bots efficiently. Although game developers detect game bots by detection algorithms, the algorithms can detect only part of the gold farmers group. In this paper, we propose a detection method for the gold farmers group on a basis of normal and bot guilds characteristic analysis. In order to differentiate normal and bots guild, we analyze transaction patterns for individuals, auction house and chatting. With the analyzed results, we can detect game bot guilds. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methods with real datasets from one of the popular online games named AION in Korea.

With the advent of online platforms, individuals have been able to trade small resources, such as a room, in the market. However, as there is no clear regulation on these economic activities, various side effects have emerged. Accordingly, the government reestablished related policies to resolve the unintended consequences of these economic activities. However, the policy has not been implemented yet, and many participants do not comply with the policy. Therefore, this study intends to examine their perceptions in detail. For this purpose, a text mining technique was applied. Posts and comments from major online communities were collected. By applying the topic modeling technique, 5 topics were derived. Compliance with the government's policy is a voluntary decision. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out an in-depth understanding of the policy target. Therefore, based on this study, it is expected that in the future, methods to induce them to conform to policy can be discussed in detail.

This study explored the rating tendency of online university learners in their course evaluations and its effects on the course evaluation results. Data including the subjects' demographic information, learning activities, rating tendency, and course evaluation results were collected from 1,098 learners in an online university in the spring semester of 2015. There were three main findings. First, the subjects showed distinctive rating tendencies in participation rates for course evaluation and rating consistency. The participation rates went from one extreme (0%) to the other (100%), and the rating consistency among the test items was highly related to that among the courses as a whole. Second, the subjects showed different tendencies in terms of course evaluation period, rating consistency, and course evaluation results according to demographic information and learning activities. Third, course evaluation results were independently affected by demographic information, learning activities, and rating consistency. The study was meaningful in that it explored learners' rating tendencies concretely and suggested that such tendencies should be considered in analyzing course evaluation results.
