In this study, we identify the Influence of Gamer Organizational Citizenship Behavior on Game Continuance Intention. Also, we provide insight into a way to induce altruistic and conformist behaviors based on our observations. We established a hypothesis based on Organizational Citizenship Behavior theory and verified it with 134 active gamers of Lineage 2. Our results demonstrate that gamers' group behaviors, such as altruistic and conformist behaviors, have significant impact on Game Continuance Intention.

Do artifacts function merely as tools? Today tremendous softwares work to assist or guide their users. This paper will apply the theories of Science & Technology Studies(STS) and the agent definition of Floridi & Sanders(2004) to game-bot programmes. Consequently we would see game-bots have had the interactivity, autonomy and adaptability. They are the position of agents even in playing. Further they may be companion relationship in the way that bots and human players compose each other. Then we will be induce to new question, the bots may be political-social. While human actors in computer based rule are the compounds being affected by the artificials, they will be never same to classic human actors.

Korea is ranked as the world's No. 1 country in its aging rate. While the interest and demand for health is rapidly increasing, the health status of the elderly is in the lowest among OECD members. Increased chronic diseases, the burden of medical costs and digital/untact changes of societies after COVID-19 have caused the direction of healthcare to be changed from treatment oriented to health care and prevention oriented, along with increased income levels and a desire for a healthy life. Amid this paradigm of change, the gap in health standards and health inequality for the elderly according to local structure and social conditions affects not only socio-economic but also the quality of life for individual senior citizen. Utilizing prior data of Aging Research Panel Survey, this study aims to compare and analyze health conditions and regional gaps which are significant influences on the satisfaction of the life of the elderly, and to suggest direction of studies for health care to provide solutions for health inequalities. The findings are intended to be a basic data for researching models of the New Normal Smart Healthcare System that bridge the health gap between the elderly and enhance life satisfaction with health care models suitable for regional characteristics in aging society.

Paradigm shift in government services means the evolution to the service with active participation based on information technology. Opening public information proceeds to an extent that private sector participation can be a basis and driving force, and extends to a stage that free and practical use is possible for private sector. Therefore, the government is preparing for legal and institutional foundation for various fields. The government needs to build open network from user-oriented point of view rather than provider-centric point of view, improve communication, and change the way of working due to the fact that flexible and rapid business process is required. It is time to prepare development plans for public the functions of platform-type government that public sector can participate in the role of government, create new value, and give rise to innovation in order to change the functionality of the government and meet the new needs of citizen. This study tries to analyze platform-type government and to study efficient role allocation for sharing resources including informant and system between the government and the private sector, focusing on innovation of public information sharing.

As Big Data's value is perceived and Government 3.0 is announced, there is a growing interest in Big Data. However, it won't be easy for each public institute or local government to apply Big Data systematically and make a successful achievement despite lacking of specific alternative plan or strategy. So, this study tried to suggest strategies to use Big Data after arranging the area which local government utilize it in. As a result, utilization areas of local administration's Big Data are divided into four areas; recognizing and corresponding the abnormal phenomenon, predicting and corresponding the close future, corresponding analyzed situation and developing new policy(administration service), and citizen customized service. In addition, strategies about how to use Big Data are suggested; stepwise approach, user's requirements analysis, critical success factors based implementation, pilot project, result evaluation, performance based incentive, building common infrastructure.

New information communication technologies are changing our society completely, offering the government new possibilities for providing citizens and businesses with better, and more efficient E-Government services. This study analyzes the direct and indirect impact of service value, innovativeness, and users' participation level on the trust toward the Government. Results from a citizen survey indicate that service value, innovativeness, and participation positively affect the trust toward the Government, and that innovativeness has been found to affect service value as well as the level of participation. However, the moderating effect of political efficacy on the relationship between two variables(service value and participation) and trust have been found to be insignifcant. Several other findings and policy implications are also discussed.

With regard to urban culture this study aims to essential understanding and systematic approach to the culture. The "2012 Seoul Survey" report has been used to find out causality among the related variables. In the first place 'satisfaction of cultural condition' was operationally selected as a dependent variable for regression. For the purpose of controlling the third factors for ceteris paribus effect correlation analysis was previously done between the dependent variable and all other variables respectively, which resulted in two groups of variables: group (1) - 2 variables of very significant correlations(p-value<0.01) and (2) - the other 6 variables of significant correlations(p-value<0.05). Then hierarchical regression was adopted to these 2 groups to analyse statistical significance of independent variables, and multicollinearity(VIF; variance inflation factor). Additionally to OLS robust and bootstrapping regressions were done to confirm the validity of this model specification. At last a regression model specified by group (1) as independent variables(they are 'community spirit caring for women, the disabled, the poor and the old,' 'satisfaction of bicycle riding condition' shows that the variables have statistically significant and substantially strong effect on 'satisfaction of cultural condition.' This finding implies the following understanding; (1) urban festivals are regarded as the main of the urban culture as of now and this results from the low level of today's culture, (2) culture is telling and hearing stories but the influential relationship between urban culture and community spirit on the weak is negative, which says that the cultural perception among citizen is somewhat selfish and far from the essential understanding of the urban culture. In spite of restrictive external validity this finding can be used as a direction for promoting culture and a basis for related policy choice in cities.

In Regarding urban geo-spatial information visualization in this study, visualization of physical attribute information is mostly related to the representation of spatial domain and physical objects, and visualization of non-physical attribute information has to do with visualizing citizens and their activity information in the physical environment. In particular, a citizen, one of the non-physical information attributes, is characterized by a constant mobility in the physical environment, and thus visualization of his/her activity information is vital in conveying information because this information may not be depicted with any given, fixed figures. In consideration of this difficulty, this study integrates interrelationship among urban space, human needs, social relations, and lifestyles into a 'high-tech' service where experience in time and space is possible. To analyze the web-service and visualization cases, the study has selected visualization indicators consisting of information representation objective, information representation means, and information representation result. The results of the case analysis through specific indicators set a range in information representation objective, means, and result, thereby forming a user-friendly environment in which representational results are readily available to users, and ultimately expanding the users' selection range coming with a variety of options. This study also assumes that a wide range of service provision is needed to reflect users' needs in developing urban geo-spatial service model, and the display of its results should visualize users' satisfaction to construct the best information needed to users.

This study aims to discuss what is needed for meaningful development of social service, focusing on Community Service Investment Project(CSIP). The contents of CSIP were analyzed on applying the Analytic Framework by N. Gilbert and H. Specht and the values that were the basis of social choice. Based on the analysis of output and policy value of this Project, this study draws three social service policy issues. First, 'localization' is needed to be emphasized more in CSIP because there are few programs that take into account the regional peculiarities. Second, as the social services focused on the individuality of the citizen is more important, it is necessary to examine 'sustainability' of CSIP. Third, in relation to the community building, it is necessary to discuss the modification of the CSIP's goals. As process for improving community, it is needed to review for local residents not participating in decision-making process, income-based user selection and appropriateness of the term 'investment' in the project name.
