Government and public institutions have been releasing a number of mobile applications in order to provide diverse public services in the mobile environment. However, due to their one-sided and fragmented service with the lack of adequate care for users, the utilization rate is extremely poor. Therefore, this study, based on a relevant literature review, identified and derived the five key factors (usefulness, convenience, interactivity, information credibility, and social pressure) for users' mobile service adoption. Then, through in-depth interviews with five users and five experts regarding the 'business support app' of one public agency (H institution) that specializes in SMEs, we found that all of these factors are important for users' mobile service adoption. Users' satisfaction could be significantly improved through real-time response to their needs. In addition, providing them with useful and tailored information can lead to mutual trust between public institutions and users. Consequently, as these user-oriented services can increase users' loyalty and boost the utilization rate of the public apps, public institutions should always put persistent efforts to cope with users' demands.

As shopping malls and department stores become larger and larger, the parking lots for customers of the facilities provide broad spaces for massive cars. Though managers of the facilities support parking situation plates or numbers of guides in order to help customers, it requires additional costs for managing parking plates or guides. In this paper, we propose the parking system using smart devices. The proposed system exploits sensors and zigbee modules to collect the data of each parking space and shows the current state of the parking lot to customers with smart devices.

Due to the characteristic that early childhood education is a process of nurturing children's senses by a leader rather than the transfer of knowledge, even in the era of with Corona, early childhood distance education is not one-to-one non-face-to-face education, but rather through distributed materials such as early childhood education packages or media such as TV. Distance education was conducted in a self-care method. Through a review of prior research and intensive parent interviews, the researcher identified the requirements for distance education, such as the expansion and accessibility of educational contents, understanding of basic knowledge of early childhood distance education, and the need to increase children's social skills through real-time distance education. It was identified that the current distance education-related solutions are not suitable for early childhood education. Accordingly, the researcher presents the basic direction (VERI) of the early childhood distance education solution of diversity, ease, real-time communication, and integration, and provides a Web/App platform that allows children, parents, and teachers to share content and communicate in real time and in non-real time. The development of a solution was proposed. This distance education solution is expected to effectively support early childhood distance education in the era of With Corona as infants, parents, and teachers communicate and share the current situation, which is only presenting guidelines and materials.

As The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Intelligent Information Age came into full-scale, the policy of open government data has become a hot topic for each country. The United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries are shifting policy direction to "creating value" of open government data. Also, in the age of the digital economy where the data market is soaring, open government data is gradually being recognized as a new raw material for new business and start-ups. In addition, Korea ranked first in the OECD open government data evaluation twice in a row, and was highly evaluated in the international evaluation. However, domestic firms are still lacking in qualitative openness of government data, data is dispersed among institutions, lack of public-private data linkage, and development of app-oriented development. This study attempts to analyze major national policies for the creation of a data ecosystem that considers data lifecycle, from production to storage, distribution and utilization of data. First, the target countries were the leading public data countries among the OGP member countries, the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. The results of this study are as follows. As a result of analyzing the results and comparing Korea's policies, it was concluded that most of Korea is superior in open government data policy. However, improvement of data quality, development of open data portal as an open platform, support for finding various users including apps and web development companies, and cultivation of open government data utilizing personnel are analyzed as policy issues. In addition, the direction of policy for the balanced ecosystem of Korea is presented together.
