This study identified the perceptions of science and technology researchers about interdisciplinary collaboration and the difficulties experienced in the collaboration process and the types of strategies they set up to overcome them. For this study, a questionnaire was developed with five-point Likert-scale questions that confirm attitudes toward interdisciplinary collaboration and qualitative questions that describe difficulties and strategies to overcome difficulties experienced in the collaboration experience. A total of 79 domestic science and technology researchers responded to the survey, and the collected data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the recognition of the efficacy of collaboration had an important influence on the intention of collaboration, but the level of the recognition of the efficacy of collaboration was relatively low. In addition, there were four types of difficulties in the interdisciplinary collaboration process, and seven types of strategies were identified to overcome these. Based on these findings, it was suggested that convergence education should reflect the pluralistic nature of modern science and the features of various collaborations that occur within it.

Recently, interdisciplinary studies have been receiving attention. Interdisciplinary research, especially in arts and technology, is a very interesting issue. E.A.T. was founded in New York in 1966 by artists and engineers. Based on the E.A.T. case, this study analyzed the period background in which art and technology could be converged, and the characteristics of E.A.T. works. The analysis results of the period background revealed that five factors influenced the organization and development of E.A.T.. Economic factors, artistic factors, technical factors, educational factors, and sponsored cultural factors influenced the convergence of art and technology. E.A.T. works collaborated by artists and engineers generally had three characteristics. Convergence across various fields, multi-sensitivity utilizing different senses, and interaction between the environment and humans appeared in E.A.T. works. This study provides meaningful implications for both artists and engineers who wish to overcome the limitations of artistic expression and develop new technology.

It is important to develop the ability to apply in practice by gathering the creative by understanding other fields and exchanging ideas through interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of emotional engineering. Through interdisciplinary research and collaboration, talent must be nurtured of individuals who would lead the era of the 4^th Industrial Revolution with the ability to empathize with others as well as the creative convergence-type intellectual ability necessary for the rapidly changing society. To determine content-creation methods, basic research is conducted. Additionally, this study investigates on the current status and educational process of the emotional textile-fashion industry worldwide. To nurture talents in the textile and fashion sensibility science, the basic contents are created to manage the knowledge that delivers sensibility science and the ICT related to this field, as well as in the intensive, PB-style conceptual design based on sensibility. The process from derivation of consumer emotion analysis and product development can be experienced through smart kit practice. Moreover, various methods are developed to set up intellectual property rights generated while developing ICT convergence products as start-ups. The study also covers new knowledge rights to develop emotional textile fashion.

This study analyzed the impact of securing nature-friendly public spaces on the healthy growth of children. Additionally, it examined the case of Germany to extract implications for Korea. The natural environment enhances children's play, physical activity, cognitive abilities, and overall happiness. Therefore, it is generally considered a necessary space that must be provided for domestically, especially for children who experience high academic stress and low levels of happiness. However, as evidenced by Germany's "Nature Experience Area Project," creating nature-friendly spaces for children requires legal support at the national level. Additionally, such projects should be integrated with key national policies. Furthermore, beyond interdisciplinary collaboration, caregivers must have a positive perception of the natural environment.

유구한 전통을 배경으로 우리나라는 유네스코 세계기록유산을 세계 4위, 아시아 1위로 등재하여 기록물의 가치를 국제적으로 인정받고 있다. 이제는 세계 기록유산 16건이라는 등재 수량을 넘어, 활용도 증진을 통한 명실상부 질적 차원의 우수 세계 기록유산 보유국가로 성장해야 할 시기를 맞고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 기록유산의보편적 접근과 활용의 증진을 목적으로 하는 국제기록유산센터(ICDH, International Centre for Documentary Heritage)의 2019년 청주시 유치는 시사하는 바가 크다. 또 정부가 세계 기록유산의 다양한 활용 제고를 위한 지자체 협업 사업을 지원하기 시작한 것도 유의할만하다. 그러나 한국 천문학 분야에서는 세계 기록유산이 한 건도 지정되지 않아 우리나라의 우수한 과학적 성취가 담긴 사료들은 알려지지 않고 있으며, 체계적인 관리·보존도 미비한 상태다. 이에 이 연구는 한국 천문학 기록자원의 세계 기록유산 발굴과 등재 및 등재 이후 활용 증진을 위한 아웃리치 서비스의 방법론을 제언하는 데 목적을 가지며 다음 기획론을 제시하고자 한다. 먼저 한국 천문학 기록자원의 세계 기록유산 발굴을 위하여 유네스코의 등재평가기준과 참고할만한 등재과정의 선행사례를 분석한다. 다음으로, 등재 이후 정·관·학 협업의 체계적 관리보존과 공유체계를수립하는 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 소장처와협업체간 분쟁의 소지가 될 수 있는 저작권 등 위험 요소와 참고할만한 국내외 협업의 선진사례를 분석한다. 마지막으로 한국 천문학계의 요구와 현실에 부합하는 기록학적방법론을 분석하여 한국 천문학 분야 세계 기록유산의 아웃리치서비스 방안을 제언하고자 한다. 이 연구는 천문학 분야에서 망실·훼손될 수 있는 기록 자원을 발굴하는 계기를 세계 기록유산에서 찾아, 천문학계에 새로운 연구의 장(場)을 창출하는 선순환을 도모했다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 그러나 선험적 기획이므로 과정상 발생할 수 있는 변수의 대처 방안과 유의성 분석 등 연구 결과 검증에는 한계가 있다. 향후 한국 천문학과의 협업으로 세계 기록유산과 관련한 사료 발굴과 가치 고증 등 학술적 이론 검증을 이어나가 다양한 학제 간 연구로 심화하길 기대한다.

This research aims to discover various aspects of the user studies and the research in practice and also to propose collaboration methods by empirical analysis of the data. To determine the application applicability of the user studies in other subject areas, the degree of keyword overlap between the user studies and the User Experience (UX), one of the research in practice discipline, was measured. The quantitative information science methods including simple frequency analysis were applied to more than ten thousand published papers to generate the network mapping and ranking as well as comparative analysis by time. The analysis result showed that there were slightly lesser overlap between the user studies and the UX in the domestically published articles than the international ones. It also revealed that there is a relationship between the actual occurrences of collaboration and the keyword overlap. The temporal analysis showed that there is increasingly more keyword overlap between two disciplines and thus it is possible to predict the active convergence in the future.

This article explores the risk governance of nanotechnology in Korea in light of a regulatory law approach, a soft law approach, and a participatory governance approach. The risk governance of nanotechnology in Korea has three characteristics. First, there are many existing regulatory laws that can be applied to the regulation of nanotechnology. However, these laws have exemptions, the extent of which are larger than that of the Europe and the United States. Second, the soft law approach is the most prevalent risk policy in Korea at present, but is limited because it is being driven by the government without active, voluntary participation of relevant companies. Third, no case of participatory governance took place when it comes to nanotechnology technology assessment. As policy recommendations to improve Korean nanotechnology risk governance, this article suggests pre-market screening, mandatory governmental registration of nanomaterials, transition management of code of conduct, and the design of interdisciplinary research and development project for real-time technology assessment.
