The scope of key competency of engineering majors has been expanded for last decades. Nowadays, not only major knowledge but also extracurricular knowledge such as business, economics, law and so on are regarded as prerequisites for successful performance at work sites. In this context, we defined several determinants of key competency classified into attitude, knowledge and skill, and investigated their relative importance perceived by Korean companies (n=145). Based on the results, the gap between key competency of engineering majors and academic curriculums of universities (n=182) was analyzed. Subsequently, regional difference and qualitative disparity between universities were also revealed.

Depending on the degree of access to information, social inequalities, especially economic inequalities, can increase. The information gap can lead to an income disparity, leading to an economic disparity. Recently, as we have evolved into a smart environment, our society is in a more complex situation in the digital divide. In the smart environment, unlike the wired Internet based environment based on the existing PC, various media services that are not tied to the transmission means are emerging and the information gap in the smart environment is causing even more serious problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between the informatization level and income of the Korean people based on the information gap index and the results of surveys conducted on the general public in Korea. If there is a difference in the level of income depending on the level of access, utilization, and utilization of information by the Korean people, a new approach or change is needed in the policy or strategy for resolving the digital divide of the Korean government.In particular, it should be accompanied by the consideration and concern for the information alienated group and efforts for the continuous support for the solution of the digital divide. The results show that the correlation between the informatization level of the Korean people and the household income is statistically significant (+). In addition, the correlation coefficient trend is positive, suggesting that the government needs various informatization policies to increase the informatization level of the general public in Korea.

Enhancing Information Utilization Capability of the elderly is discussed in the level of nation due to the advent of information society and aging. Information divide of the elderly is wider compared with other age groups. It is necessary for the elderly to enhance information ability. Government was implementing the policy for narrowing information divide continually. Dual information divide is brought about by the character of the elderly such as status, economic factor, the level of education. Therefore not only continuous nation's policy but road map is needed for enhancing information utilization capability to computer and internet. Information divide of the elderly would be narrowed out of education, economy, earning, age through those ways.

All public libraries are local public goods and cultural infrastructures whose ideological pillars are publicly operated, free, and open to all. This identity is justified when the public library provides various knowledge information, various programs, and community space to local residents within the service area, and ultimately contributes to the cultural development of the nation and society. To this end, the country and local governments must expand the number of individuals that meet legal standards, deploy competent professionals, and provide facilities and spaces that are easy to access and use. However, if there is a gap in infrastructure and services between regional public libraries, it causes inequality in access and use of residents, which inevitably leads to information gap and cultural welfare gap. Therefore, this study was analyzed the relative gap using the location quotient, key infrastructure indicators and service indicators of public libraries of regional government in Korea and basic local government in the Chungnam region from the viewpoint that the balanced development and capacity building of public libraries must precede the establishment of a public library in Chungnam region as a life-friendly knowledge information service institution, culture enjoyment and lifelong learning space. Based on the results, a method to resolve the gap was suggested by dividing the elements of gaps in public libraries into accessibility, core infrastructure, and services, focusing on vulnerable cities and counties in the Chungnam region.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the trend of the research product of Korea and Japan about each other in 20th century. The author analyzed the published year, main period, and author of the research product of history. So she explored the resent state, size, history, and gap of the research product between Korea and Japan. The study about Japan history in Korea began after 1945. However, the study about Korean history in Japan began after 1875. So the study about Japan history in Korea is falling behind Japan for 70 years. As a result, research including the amount of research the number of researchers, the diversity of the minor subject is 1/3 of that conducted by Japanese Scholars.

This study aims to examine the factors influencing the satisfaction of life, digital information competency, digital information utilization, awareness of future knowledge and information technology, the need for knowledge and information technology, confidence in new technology, and attitude to middle and old people classified as vulnerable to digital information. For the research, raw data of the digital divide survey were used in 2019. Studies have shown that digital information utilization varies depending on the level of awareness of the future intelligence information society. Group with high awareness of the future intelligence information society showed high ability to use information in various fields. The more people recognize the need for future intelligent information technology as a factor that affects the satisfaction of life among middle and high-aged people, and the more confident and active their confidence and attitude toward new technology, the higher their satisfaction with life. It is believed that a policy focusing on digital information capabilities and utilization will be needed to actively respond to changes in the environment of middle and old people from the perspective of digital inclusion.

To cope actively in the knowledge based society, we deepen a specialty territory and magnify this by applying Information Communications Technology(ICT) effectively. It needs the ability that it will be able to solve the problem from daily life effectively. Accordingly Ministry of Education & Resource Development of Korea make an effort for ICT application education. In spite of this effort, digital divide problem is serious socially and the computer subject is not adopted with formal subject from school. In this study, we analyzed the computer application ability gap and recognized the importance of computer education by analyzing the difference in computer application ability between the students who take a computer class and who do not take a class. Also by comparing the difference of computer application ability between the city and rural student, we tried to find a solution to reduce the regional disparity.
