This study discusses how to protect foreign knowledge workers from disasters conceptually. While their prestigious social and economic status, the knowledge workers can become vulnerable to disasters due to their nomadic lifestyle and voluntary isolation from communities where they reside temporarily. This study introduced and discussed strengths and weaknesses of various types of disaster communication networks and found the Small World Network (SWN) and the use of structural holes would be an appropriate strategy for the protection of knowledge workers. The use of mediators for disaster communication would be a strategic intervention from public and private organizations since that addresses voluntary isolation issue without restructuring existing disaster communication network.

In order to enhance the national competitiveness of the korean knowledge economy it is necessary to establish new, cooperative industrial relations. In the past mass production economy the technological innovations generally substitute the real assets for the labour so that the interest conflict between employers and employees was inherent and the resistance of the labourers to innovations was unavoidable. In the knowledge economy, however, the real assets and the labour are complementary to each other and the investments in skills and education bring increasing returns. These are the most important reasons for the common interest of employers and employees in improved skills and advanced education. In the knowledge economy, therefore, establishing and maintaining the cooperative industrial relations is a necessary condition to maximize the value creation, where in Korea the 'Tripartite Commission' can and has to play a active role.

지난 10년 동안 인터넷의 대중화 덕분으로 World Wide Web과 e-mail은 이미 정보 전달의 일반적인 수단으로 자리를 잡았다. 인터넷과 이에 기반한 e-Busine器는 기존 산업의 전 부분에 걸쳐 효율성과 생산성 증대를 위한 전략적인 도구로 그 중요성이 지속적으로 증대되고 있으며. 지식 노동자들은 업무 시간의 대부분을 문서로 대표되는 정보와 지식을 생산하고 검색하는데 보내고 있다. 새로운 기업정보 자료들이 끊임없이 등록되고, 지난 자료들이 수정, 갱신되는 등 전 세계에 있는 수 많은 기업에서 다양한 지식 자산(Knowledge Asset)들이 지속적으로 생성, 재활용되고 있다. 그러나 이렇게 기업이 생성, 저장, 재 사용하는 정보 중 20% 만이 활용성이 높은 정형 데이터로 구성되어 있고, 나머지 80%는 워드프로세서, e-mail, 프리젠테이션, 스프레드시트, PDF와 같은 복합문서와 인터넷 페이지 등의 비정형 텍스트 형태로 구성되어 있다［1］.(중략)

Beyond the simple stage of technical development, the growth of information networks have changed areas such as the economy, communities, and education. Existing knowledge and new knowledge about these things have developed and either coexist or conflict with each other. It is difficult to predict the result of this interaction since old and new information is changing so quickly. The transition from a simple communication to an interactive communication is related to a changed communication environment which involves a more complex level of understanding. Establishing the new design concept which is aimed at the future and developing new educational programs which respond to these new information networks are important in order to educate designers who can adjust to the new information network era and construct design education. This paper reports research about the process of developing new education systems that explore the new design paradigms, the changing information network, and the proper approaches to developing design education programs which fulfill these requirements.

This paper aims to examine the ways in which the Singaporean government has promoted the "global city" imaging strategy as a means for marketing Singapore. Since the 1990s, Singapore has pursued a place-marketing strategy that aims at imaging itself as a "creative", "culturally vibrant" and "cosmopolitan" global city by utilizing various cultural, tourist and spatial policy measures. It argues that the Singaporean government has promoted this particular imaging strategy under a broader economic resoucturing program, aiming at transforming the Singapore's economy into a "knowledge-driven" one, under which the attraction of international knowledge workers is seen as crucial for the competitiveness and innovation. This paper also discusses the limitations of this strategy, focusing on growing tensions between the global and the local in the Singaporean society and the ways in which the authoritarian and top-down nature of governance have restricted the genuine development of the "culturally vibrant" environment in Singapore.
