Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of remote work has been emphasized, and new digital technologies are rapidly being developed. One such digital technology is the metaverse, which combines reality and virtual space to create an expanded digital world. The metaverse can provide online collaborative spaces that visualize and transmit information and data in real-time. When applied to construction sites, this technology is expected to enable more efficient and stable project management. However, research on construction metaverses, both domestically and internationally, is still inadequate. In this study, 16 influential factors for promoting the application of metaverses to the construction industry were identified through the initial stages of the system dynamics technique. These performance factors were classified into four categories: systemrelated factors for metaverse site construction, device-related factors, user-related factors, and construction site-related factors. It is expected that this study will promote research on the activation of Con-Metaverse by developing casual loop diagrams(CLD) to identify the relationship between each performance factor and constructing stock & flow diagrams(SFD) for simulations in future studies.

중국 우한에서 발생한 코로나19는 한국 교회의 대면 예배를 어렵게 만들었다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위한 대안으로 메타버스가 등장하였다. 메타버스는 3I(몰입감: Immersion, 상호작용: Interactive, 가상이미지: virtual Image)로 표현되는 기술을 통해서 다양한 플랫폼을 형성하고 있다. 이러한 메타버스 기술을 기독교교육에 적용하여 기독교교육의 적용방안을 분석하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 이러한 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 먼저, 메타버스의 본질을 살펴보기 위하여 메타버스의 정의, 유형, 플랫폼, 기술을 제시하였고, 다음으로 교회론을 교육신학적인 측면에서 분석하기 위하여 교회의 본질, 교회의 사명, 메타버스 교회에 대해 살펴보고, 메타버스를 기독교교육에 적용하기 위하여, 메타버스를 통한 예배, 메타버스를 통한 교육, 메타버스를 통한 섬김, 메타버스를 통한 성도의 교재, 메타버스를 통한 선교 등으로 분류하여 메타버스의 기독교교육을 위한 적용방안을 분석하였다. 메타버스의 기독교교육을 위한 적용 방안은 첫째, 메타버스를 통해 예배를 드릴 수 있다는 것이다. 둘째, 메타버스를 통해서 교육을 수행할 수 있다. 셋째, 메타버스를 활용하여 섬김의 사명을 수행할 수 있다. 넷째, 메타버스를 통해서 성도들이 교재할 수 있다. 다섯째, 메타버스를 통해 선교의 사명을 수행할 수 있다는 점을 분석하였다. 결론적으로 메타버스는 아직 발전단계에 있지만 지금까지 개발된 다양한 플랫폼을 활용하여 그 플랫폼이 가지고 있는 장점들을 활용하여 기독교교육의 목적을 달성할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램들이 개발되어야 한다. 특히, 한국교회가 메타버스를 활용하여 주일예배는 물론이고, 주일학교, 청소년 수련회, QT, 성경학교, 성지순례 등의 다양한 프로그램들을 활용하여 메타버스가 가지고 있는 특성을 잘 살리는 기회가 되었으면 한다. 또한 메타버스는 VR, AR, MR이 통합된 확장현실(XR)의 기술을 활용하여 기존의 교회에서 벗어나 창의적인 기독교 교육활동을 할 수 있는 점이 강점이라고 할 수 있다. 앞으로 메타버스 기술은 제4차 산업기술이 발전함에 따라 다양하게 발전할 것으로 예상되므로 기독교교육에 다양하게 적용할 준비가 되어야 한다.

Recently, metaverse has attracted great attention worldwide with the development of related technologies and the demand for on-tact systems. The ideal metaverse should constitute a virtual world more similar to the realistic society with physical interactions. However, there are many constraints when we construct a virtual world using the existing commercialized metaverse platform. In this paper, we design and implement a university campus-based metaverse which minimizes the constraints, and create a virtual environment maps very similar to the real-world using Unity engine, Photon cloud and Playfab SDK for multi-user accessible to virtual world as a personal avatar. Also, this work includes attractive interaction based on exchange between users. Lastly, we illustrate our implemented metaverse works on Android phone, and it works without difficulty in terms of performance.
