Current research aimed to demonstrate a way to enhance the aesthetic experience of the general public while appreciating contemporary art via online platform. Contemporary art is highly complicated and are avoided by the general public. Meanwhile, previous research confirmed that external information can lead to better aesthetic experience and appreciation of the artwork. Therefore, current research hypothesized that provision of explicit information may enhance the appreciation of contemporary artworks and aimed to demonstrate which phase of the cognitive process from Leder et al. (2004) profits from the aid of written information. Experimental environment reproduced online curating platform to reflect the current trend on exhibition. In experiment 1, subjects were presented with written information and reported how well they understood the artwork, and their willingness to visit the artwork in real life. Results revealed that written information had a positive effect on overall appreciation. Further analysis discovered a full mediation between information comprehension, artwork comprehension, and willingness to visit. In experiment 2, ARS questions and an interactive interface were added. Results indicated that information enhanced comprehension and intention to visit the artwork. Expertise, self-reference, and artistic quality which belong to later stages of Leder et al. (2004) model, acquired higher scores on information conditions. In sum, the current research illustrated clear effects of explicit information in inducing better aesthetic experience and cognitive process of contemporary artworks in online environment.

This study examined how historical facts of the past were established as a symbol or identity of a region and reorganized in the present local communities. Janseong has reorganized regional symbols through a regional festival named Hong-gil-dong Festival based on its tradition and cultural resources and used them as a strategy for the regional revitalization. Jangseong was known as "a district of noble scholars" represented by the Philam Seowon(local school) enshrining Kim In-hoo, a superior one of the Confusion scholars of Joseon period. And it was considered as "a place of justice" because of historical fact that it was an important base of Donghak movement and the struggle by righteous soldiers who fought for the country in the late Joseon period. Moreover, as the place which is assumed as a birthplace of Hong Gil-dong, a hero of the Hong Gil-dong story was excavated, the local government has reorganized Mr. Hong as a symbol of the region and has held the Hong Gil-dong festival for its development. In spite of its short history, the festival was established as a representative of Janseong. It also created various regional cultural attractions such as regional logos of Hong Gil-dong and a tourist attraction of his birthplace. Jangseong reorganized its tradition for the regional revitalization through a business-oriented property of the event strategy enforcing a dynamic and external image. In the aspects of tradition reorganization and use for actual development, it is sure that the Hong Gil-dong Festival will work for true integration and revitalization of the region by providing experiences of reorganized regional tradition and culture along with various regional landscapes.

The study was conducted to investigate the perception and satisfaction of nutrition education by elementary school students. Questionnaires were distributed to a total of 327 students at three elementary schools in the Ulsan area in July 2010. Fifty-two percent of the respondents were satisfied with the teaching tools/audio-visual materials for nutrition education. Compared with other lectures, 46.5% of the students responded that nutrition education was more interesting. Average scores for necessity of nutrition education was 4.02/5.00, and willingness to participate in re-education lecture was 3.80/5.00. Seventy-seven percent of students answered that they would encourage friends to participate in nutrition education. Average scores for necessity of nutrition education and willingness to participate in re-education lecture were significantly (p<0.01) higher in the student group that was satisfied with the teaching tools/audio-visual materials and lectures. Students who were satisfied with the tools/audio-visual materials and those interested in nutrition education had significantly (p<0.01) higher average scores for improved dietary habits from nutrition education contents compared to other students.

국내 기업에서 와이브로는 다른 모바일 브로드밴드 서비스와 달리 전송속도와 기능이 우월하기 때문에 초기 시장부터 핵심시장이 될 것으로 전망되어 왔다. 그러나 서비스의 이용가능지역이 제한되고 기존 유선 인터넷의 인프라가 확충되어 있으며 경쟁서비스인 HSDPA에 대한 차별성 부족으로 인해 기업시장에서도 서비스 확산이 지연되거나 부진한 실정이다. 그러나 와이브로가 기업시장에서 지닌 가능성은 무한하다. 우선 유무선 융합의 최전선에서 모바일 브로드밴드 서비스로 그 역할을 수행할 것으로 기대되며 향후 제4세대 서비스에서 다양한 비즈니스 모델을 통해 차별적이고 이용편의적인 서비스를 제공할 것으로 전망되기 때문이다. 이에 본 글에서는 시장조사 결과를 바탕으로 국내 기업의 와이브로 이용현황과 의향을 파악하고 기업시장 개발을 위한 전략적 방향을 제언하였다.

새 천년을 여는 이 시대의 화두는 인터넷과 디지털이라 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 이에 발맞추어 디지털을 치과 임상에 적용하고자 하는 많은 시도들이 있으며, 특히 치과 방사선 분야에서 다양한 결과들을 실제 임상에서 많이 이용하고 있다. 또한 많은 임상의들이 디지털 카메라를 이용하여 임상사진을 체득하고 활용하려는 시도들을 많이 하고 이용하고 있으나, 디지털 카메라에 대한 정확한 이해 없이 일반 광학 카메라와 동일시 하는 생각으로 수많은 시행착오를 겪고 결국 애써 장만한 디지털 카메라를 사장시키거나 제대로 이용하지 못하는 경우들을 주위에서 많이 보아왔다. 필자도 처음 디지털 카메라를 장만하였을 때 많은 실행착오와 좌절을 경험했지만, 그 동안 수집한 정보를 비교 분석해서 얻어낸 결과와 실제 촬영을 통해 완성시킨 다양한 테크닉을 중심으로 이 글을 서술한다. 디지털 카메라를 소장하고 있거나 구입 의향이 있는 분들에게 유용한 정보가 되기를 바라면 6월과 7월 2회에 걸쳐 본 글을 게재한다.

스마트기기의 확산에 따라 TV 이용 시간, 장소, 단말이 많아지면서 TV에 대한 기능의 확장 및 고품질화에 대한 기대도 높아지고 있다. 스마트폰의 경우 많은 이용자들이 더 이상 전화의 수단이 아닌 업무, 일상생활, 여가 활용의 필수적 수단으로 자리잡아가고 있다. 스마트TV 단말의 확산은 제조사들이 스마트TV 기능을 TV 단말에 탑재하는 비율을 증가시킴으로써 TV의 교체시장을 따라 확대될 것으로 보인다. TV 구매자들 중 특히, 신기술 수용의향이 높고 TV에 대한 관여도가 높은 소비자들을 선두로 스마트TV 시장은 확대될 것으로 보인다. 스마트TV 이용자들에 대한 조사 결과, 스마트TV에 대해 이런 기대를 하고 다양한 서비스를 이용하여 전반적인 만족도는 양호하게 나타났으나, 개별 서비스에 대한 만족도, 특히 스마트TV 앱스토어 이용 등 새로운 스마트TV 기능에 대한 만족도는 낮게 나타났다. 스마트TV 서비스 시장을 활성화하기 위해서는 이용자들의 기대를 충족시킬 수 있도록 기능과 서비스 품질을 높여야 하며 기존 방송서비스 사업자들과의 전략적인 협력 관계 조성이 필요할 것이다.

This study examined the factors affecting family caregiver's preference for utilization of community care services among those who are caring for 65+ elderly parents, and aimed to show how social eldercare services would be settled in Korea. Help-seeking behavior model developed by Anderson and Newman(1973) was used to analyze the factors affecting their preference for utilizing the community care service among 283 family caregivers. Frequency, Chi-square, and Multinominal logistic analysis on SAS 6.12 was used. According to the results, about 90% of the family caregivers have preference for community and institute care services. In community care service, about a half comprise the preference with charge while the other without charge. However, about 90% of those for institute care service show their willingness to pay for the service. Also, a majority of caregivers like to rely on social eldercare service, rather than family as exclusively responsible, against long-term care for their elderly parents. Multinominal analysis demonstrates that use versus nonuse of community care services is primarily affected by predisposing factors(including age, carer-caree closeness, and familism) and need factors (including economic or psychological burden of eldercare, and additional role for family care). Enabling factors, such as family income level, economic support from other family members and siblings, and supportive care-helpers, are mainly associated with the preferences of free versus charge in service use. These findings provide some implications and suggestions for the development of social eldercare services in our aging society.

Facebook, which has the largest number of users worldwide, has both positive and negative effects on our lives and society. The positive effects include social support from others, relationship building, entertainment, etc. In contrast, Facebook users also experience negative emotions such as tiredness and irritation, resulting in dissatisfaction as well as withdrawal from Facebook. The current study investigates both positive and negative effects of the use of by different demographic characteristics (i.e., age and gender), Facebook usage pattern (i.e., posters vs. lurkers), and Facebook usage time and frequency. The results show that (1) female users (vs. male users) feel higher level of fatigue and display stronger intention to discontinue Facebook. Moreover, (2) posters (vs. lurkers) feel higher level of positive emotions and social support, and stronger intention to continue Facebook. Lastly, (3) heavy users (vs. light users) exhibit higher level of positive emotions and stronger intentions to continue Facebook. This research sheds light on the fact that the characteristics of users affect individuals' intention to discontinue SNS and offers practical implications on the ever-expanding SNS market.

This study surveyed 503 adults to examine the effect of gaming disorder classification, recently announced by World Health Organization(WHO), when it is applied to Korean game market. Considering the difference in respondents' background knowledge on gaming disorder, half of the respondents were randomly assigned to read an informative news article describing WHO's decision and its expected effect on domestic game industry. Based on previous literature of gaming disorder, we categorized respondents into a normal-use group and a potentially problematic-use group. As a result of analyses, it was found that the gaming disorder classification would yield overall reduction of game-related consumption in terms of gaming time(24%), game cost(28%), the number of games(22%), etc. The potentially problematic group showed higher willingness to pay for gaming than the normal group did, even if the game cost presumably increases due to the gaming disorder classification. A similar outcome was observed in those with high stress levels. This implies that the policy to solve game addiction problems may ironically lead to unexpected cost increases to the target group of the policy. Hence, problematic groups, especially, highly stressful people and the people with the lack of self-control, need to be considered when the gaming disorder classification policy is established. Furthermore, the informative news article had the preventive effect on the attitude and the intention of the people with moderate or high self-control capacity, but not to the people with gaming-additive tendencies, Again, this finding confirms the necessity of the tweezers policy to refine target groups by their characteristics and prepare for differentiated policies. When the gaming disorder classification is simply adopted with no consideration of domestic circumstances, irreversible loss could affect Korean game users, game industries, and related companies. This calls for urgent cooperation between academia, government, and industry to set up appropriate measures to deal with the gaming disorder classification.

The purpose of this study is to deliver both market-practical and civil-centric political implication for sharing economy by investigating the nature of consumer-adoption for car-sharing service. With the global interest and market proliferation of the sharing economy, various service models for sharing idle resources have also been released in Korea. Particularly, in case of car sharing service, public - private partnership projects are spreading rapidly in various local governments including Seoul, along with the growing demand for alternative transportation system centering on the urban area. This study conducted an empirical study on the process of accepting the car sharing service by analyzing the data collected from users of the car sharing service "Sharing Car(Nanum Car)" of Seoul Metropolitan Government. A survey was conducted on 281 users in their twenties who are in the age of main use among the experienced users of the "Sharing Car(NaNum)" residing in Seoul. The result of analysis on the relationship between these users' perceived value and intention to use the vehicle sharing service would provide implications for establishing consumer(citizen)-centeric policies as well as market implications.
