The current study initiated from an action-plan level perspective of revitalizing Green IT (Information Technology) in Korea by building a standardized national Green IT brand. In order to setting up a national level brand, there should be a big quantitative survey for identifying Green IT brand concepts. For this, the current study provides exploratory research results based on preliminary interviews and literature survey before the quantitative survey. The present article suggests a research framework and describes important factors for setting up a national level Green IT brand. In-depth interviews with panels were executed and existing Green IT brands in other countries are summarized and asked for evaluation to a small number of panels. The research results show that (1) National level Green IT brand should include wider concepts of IT, (2) Green IT brand will be more appealed by the public when it is simple, straightforward, and intuitive, (3) Earth, Tree, and/or Water show higher correlation with Green IT concepts. Green IT brand will offer marketing promotion effects to companies who adopt national level Green IT brand as well as increase public use of Green IT in daily life. For this reason, Green IT brand will be a win-win strategy and this should be cared and executed by the related government agencies with long term perspective.

그린 IT는 IT 기반의 친환경 기술을 포괄하는 개념으로서 넓은 범위에서는 유해물질 대체, 에너지 효율화, 대체에너지 등 친환경적 기술을 의미한다. 현재 IT 산업의 흐름은 서버발열 및 데이터센터 에너지 절감 방안 등에 초점을 맞추어 그린 IT를 정의하고 있다. 본 연구는 문헌조사를 통해 그린 IT의 개념을 정의하고, 그린 IT가 나타난 배경과 필요성을 통해 현재 IT시장에 새롭게 등장한 그린 IT의 이슈 및 각 나라별 전략 및 국내의 전략을 비교분석하였다. 이를 구체적으로 살펴보면, 최근 IT 및 데이터센터 시장 전반 향후 변화 및 흐름을 볼 때 그런 IT는 그런 데이터센터 도입에 초점을 맞추어 사업의 방향과 전략을 수립하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내외 기업의 그린 데이터센터 도입을 통한 그린 IT 구축 사례를 통해서 그린 IT 도입기준과 필요조건, 환경평가 및 설계 그리고 구체적인 추진전략과 향후 과제를 제시하였다.

Recently, the green business/IT-related issues such as $CO_2$ emission and energy consumption have become spread out rapidly through the world. EU, the United States, Japan and other developed countries are using IT-related environmental regulations as trade barriers. Korea which has high rate of IT exports needs to establish systematic strategies to respond to these environmental regulations. However, it is not easy to find the related research about making green business/IT strategies. This research aims to deduce the green business/IT strategy framework and the suitable green business/IT strategies for the Korean situation. The green business/IT strategy framework is constructed from the analysis of preceding researches and those of the green business/IT strategies of Japan, the United States, and EU. The Korean green business/IT strategies are deduced from survey of experts using Delphi method. We expect that the results contribute to establish the systematic policy and action plan to reduce $CO_2$ emission and energy consumption of IT industry.

최근에 우리 사회에서 관심을 끌고 있는 키워드는 친환경 혹은 그린이라는 단어일 것이다. 오늘날 우리사회는 산업화에 따른 무분별한 자원의 개발등으로 환경오염에 대한 우려가 가속화되고 있는 상황이다. 그린 IT는 환경을 비롯한 에너지 관련 문제들을 해결하고 기업의 생산성을 높일 수 있는 방법으로 미래 산업 발전에 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 그린 IT와 관련된 내용을 연구하였다. 그린 IT는 변천과정을 통해 IT에 대한 그린화를 시작으로 현재는 IT를 이용한 타 산업에서의 그린화가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 그린 IT에 대한 변천과정 및 각 과정에서의 특성, 대표적 사례들에 대해 기술하였다. 마지막으로 그린 IT에 대한 대표적 융합사례인 스마트워크(smart work)에 대해 조사, 분석하였다.

The government and enterprises have interest in the green IT products, therefore this study focus on the green IT products. First, we study the effects on the purchase intention of the green IT products by perceived value, perceived quality, and perceived trust. Second, we consider the environmental characteristics such as environmental concern, green recognition, and environmental knowledge. Third, we study the moderating effects of environmental characteristics. The proposed model was empirically tested using data collected from users having the purchase intention of the Green IT products. The major results of this study are as follows. First, perceived value and perceived trust had a positive effect on purchase intention of the green IT products. Second, environmental concern, green recognition, and environmental knowledge had moderating effects between perceived value and purchase intention of the green IT products. Third, environmental concern and green recognition had moderating effects between perceived trust and purchase intention of the green IT products. This study can provide many implications for government and businesses considering green IT products.

World governments and industries have put tremendous efforts for reduction of greenhouse gases. Specifically, IT (information technology) or ICT (information communication technology) is seen to play a pivotal role in green IT since it is deeply penetrated and related to all the industrial and business processes. The objective of this research is to enhance green maturity of a Gangwon province. We first discussed recent trends of green IT approaches/directions and prevailing green readiness indecies. Based on the environmental and industrial characteristics of Gangwon province. a future plan drawn has been examined with regard to a green IT maturity model.

In this study, we intend to identify key financial variables that can accurately classify Green IT leaders against Green IT followers. In particular, we build and compare single and meta-classifiers to identify the relationship between environmental performance and financial performance, while focusing on selecting and interpreting a final prediction model with a smaller set of financial performance indicators. Our experimental results demonstrate that several key variables representing the size, financial resources, operational efficiency, and risk-taking tendency of an organization can successfully identify Green IT leaders with approximately 90% of accuracy. In addition, we find that Green IT leaders show a higher utilization rate of Web pages as a green marketing channel than Green IT followers while they share common layouts of Web publication to build green IT brands with some differences.

Expectation for improvement of creativity and problem-solving capability has increased the creative robotics classes in the form of after-school activity in more than half of total elementary schools. While Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has promoted 'Green IT Guidelines' as a part of 'Eco-friendly Green School Development Project', the Green issues have not been considered enough in those creative robotics classes. In this paper, we would like to address the Green issues, especially in the r-Learning services based on UCR (User Created Robots). First, trend of green IT education, r-Learning services and UCR are reviewed. And the current status of eco-related operations and teachers' perception in the robotics classes of elementary schools is investigated. Examples of Green UCR are also searched and green programs based on the three kinds of UCR, UC-TR, UC-AR, UC-CR, are explored. Finally, we propose action plans to promote the UCR-based r-Learning service reflecting green issues.

환경문제가 부각되고 글로벌 환경위기에 대응한 저탄소 녹색성장 정책에 따라 초·중등학교도 저탄소 녹색성장 구현을 위한 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 교육정보화를 통한 초·중등 녹색학교를 만들기위해 'IT 정보자원의 그린화'와 '교육정보화를 통한 교육환경의 그린화'로 구분하여 추진과제를 제시한다. 'IT 정보자원의 그린화'는 그린 IT 제품 도입시 필요한 가이드라인과 IT 제품 재활용을 고려한 폐기 방안을 제안하고, 친환경 정보 인프라 모델을 제안한다. 교육정보화를 통한 교육환경의 그린화는 학교 구성원들인 교사.학생들이 지켜야할 그린 IT 실천방안 및 교육활동을 제안하고. IT를 활용한 저탄소 교육환경으로 전환을 추구하는 다양한 교육정보화 서비스 활용을 제시한다. 앞으로 이러한 제안이 학교현장에 실현되면 녹색학교 구현에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

While many surveys show very positive attitudes on the part of consumers towards eco-friendly products, the market share actually reflecting green IT purchases remains low in most countries. The motivations behind green IT purchase behavior are still obscure. Several studies have addressed the question of green IT diffusion from economic and normative viewpoints in an attempt to interpret IT adoption behavior. This study comes at the question from a different angle, namely negative frame, examining threat and coping behaviors using the Ordered Protection Motivation (OPM) model and threat appraisal theory. The results show that attitudes toward fairness and positive change, which are precedents of threat appraisal, play an important role in determining threat appraisal. Perceived threats in the green IT arena include habit change and ecological change. Appraisal for coping with these threats directly affects initial adoption behaviors regarding available green IT, and then indirectly encourages the purchase of new green IT products.
