The values of material civilizations that dominated the last century have been replaced with invisible values such as knowledge, information, and culture. The central axis of the world economy is also rapidly shifting from a capital and labor-intensive industry to a knowledge-based industry of software and contents. From the perspective of the industrialization of culture as multinational corporations and dominance and subordination relationships between cultures thereof, and crisis of cultural identity, the issues of support and fostering a culture industry arise. These have become major issues of concern in deciding national policies. In response to this trend, new departments related to culture contents in various universities have been established for fostering manpower in the field and the government policy to foster related human resources. However, actual results have not been currently achieved, despite the increase in quantity. This is due to the fact that the walls between culture contents departments were too high and thus education and fostering excellent human resources have not been properly conducted. It is also due to the obscure direction of education and a deficiency in the system. To cope with these problems, a systematic manpower-fostering education program should be developed through enhancement of the understanding of culture contents via linking education programs with detailed major fields of study. Accordingly, this study aims to identify changes in the current culture contents industry at home and abroad according to digitalization for fostering manpower of culture contents required in a rapidly changing environment of the culture contents industry. Then, it will review what influence has been made on the education system through the identification of personnel types through work flow charts and contents delivery modes following integration, as well as a desirable method to construct culture contents. Therefore, this study is a preliminary study on the means of fostering core personnel in the culture contents industry through linkage with the education system.

As a prior study related to this study, basic research on board game development, research on cultural products based on cultural heritage, and storytelling development research using local cultural and tourism resources were considered. Among them, for the main purpose of board games and development process, discussions were conducted on the research methodology of Lee Dae-woong and Oh Seung-taek (2004). As a result, it was possible to successfully proceed with planning meetings, proposal preparation, board game design, board game 3D graphic production process, and prototype development. What is peculiar is that characters (dried persimmons, strawberries, jujube, and salted seafood) containing Nonsan's unique regional characteristics were searched and utilized. In addition, major cultural heritages such as Donamseowon Confucian Academy and Gwanchoksa Temple, designated as Nonsan-si cultural properties, were combined with important treasure hunt contents of board games to enhance interest and education at the same time. The theme of this paper, Nonsan, Finding Lost Treasure, is a new educational alternative that can solve the problems of computer games, and has the advantage of having the nature of community leisure play, not individual play.

Big data-related research that deals with the amount of explosive information in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is actively underway. Big data is an essential element that promotes the development of artificial intelligence with a wide range of data that become learning data for machine learning, or deep learning. The use of deep learning and big data in various fields has produced meaningful results. In this paper, we have investigated the use of Big Data in the cultural arts industry, focusing on video contents. Noteworthy is that big data is used not only in the distribution of cultural and artistic contents but also in the production stage. In particular, we first looked at what kind of achievements and changes the Netflix in the US brought to the OTT business, and analyzed the current state of the OTT business in Korea. After that, Netflix analyzed the success stories of 'House of Cards', which was produced / circulated through 'Deep Learning' cinematique, which is a prediction algorithm, through accumulated customer data. After that, FGI (Focus Group Interview) was held for cultural and artistic contents experts. In this way, the future prospects of Big Data in the domestic culture and arts industry are divided into technical aspect, creative aspect, and ethical aspect.

It can be said that film and game industries take core parts of the comtemporary cultural industry. For consumers in modern industry, cultural industry is immensely significant as much as other industries. Because consumers are spending proportionally more money on experiential and emotional needs and less on basics such as food, housing, and clothes. Cultural industry is the one that can give us 'cultural satisfaction'. Some may say the film industry is different from the game industry in genre. However, we have no difficulty in finding many common characteristics between them since we are living in the world where any content or genre cannot stand alone and contents' boundaries diversify themselves to meet consumers' demand in daily basis. The purpose of this study is to look into the impact of the film industry on the game industry and to show how these different industries can coexist successfully by creating a synergy effect.
