The purpose of this study is to propose the improvement strategies for policy information services of National Library of Korea, Sejong through analysis of their current status and problems. For the study, we conducted interviews with service providers and users and identified some issues in provision and use of the services. Specifically, we found problems of service provision system characterized by dualization and decentralization, and further identified specific issues with provision of individual services. Moreover, the interviews with service users suggested user types, user perception of the service, and problems in the use of individual services. Based on the findings, we proposed improvement strategies in six aspects: collection, services, organization, system, promotion, and cooperation. We hope these strategies contribute to vitalizing the policy information services of National Library of Korea, Sejong.

This study aimed to provide data for establishment of resource management system of Iriomote Island in Okinawa Japan. Nature resource management system of Iriomote Island can be categorized into eight stages which are equivalent to regional development stages. 1) Networking among local people, tourists, researchers, tour operators and government authorities enhanced collection of resource data. 2) On the early stage, resource data were available only to researchers and government authorities. From the third stage of this system, however, local people were also involved in resource investigation, so they became to well recognize the values of their local resources. 3) On the sixth stage, data on unfamiliar local resources and attractions became to be known to people by real-time data collection and data provision services. The tourist number gradually increased and their visitation patterns were dispersed into different sites and seasons. In addition, some tourists also participated in resource investigation and they were likely to visit the place again. 4) To achieve successful ecotourism development, it is necessary to establish a management system with a feed-back process to identify, evaluate, use and protect the resources.

In spite of the rapid development of information and computer technology, the software side of those technologies has not been well studied especially in the area of regional planning. Throughout this study we identified some critical facts as below: 1) the necessity of region-specific information which is vital for urban and regional development, 2) the necessity of integration of information system into a regional unit rather than setoral unit, 3) aggravated regional inequality through the spread of communication and computing tools, and 4) advanced regional information system linking satellite and graphic computers in developed countries. From these facts, we recommend some policy directions as below: 1) It is desperately needed to establish a regional information center covering large administrative area. 2) In establishing these system, we can utilize existing communication network or estblish a brand new system. Utilization of existing administrative network and board of statistics for data collection and management, and the utilization of postal office or telephone company for distribution are recommended through the evaluation of those two alternatives, 3) It is also recommended that one-step data collection system should be established. 4) The Dat Base should be organized in many steps in close relationship with development goal and planning process. In order to make most use of this system, we need to develop a monitoring system, regional indicators and ex-ante impact studies.

In a world where everything in life is being digitized, the amount of data is increasing exponentially. These data are processed into new data through collection and analysis. New data is used for a variety of purposes in hospitals, finance, and businesses. However, since existing data contains sensitive information of individuals, there is a fear of personal privacy exposure during collection and analysis. As a solution, there is privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) technology. PPDM is a method of extracting useful information from data while preserving privacy. In this paper, we investigate PPDM and analyze various measures for evaluating the privacy and utility of data.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly diffused across industries and societies as nations' essential strategic technology. In innovative technology, such as AI, a startup leads to technological innovation and significantly impacts the expansion of relevant industries. Thus, this study examined the trend of AI startup venture capital (VC) investments globally, focusing on ① noteworthy VC investment statuses (the number and size of the investment, company establishment, and corporate collection), ② the characteristics of each key nation's investments, and ③ the characteristics of each submarket's investments. Among the 11 countries, the results showed that Korea ranked near the bottom for absolute quantitative measures, including the number and size of investments, company establishment, and corporate collection. However, Korea has built a foundation of catching up with what AI-leading countries have established, considering Korea's high growth rate in the number and size of investments and a recent mega-round. This study has practical implications in that it determined the AI startup VC investment status of Korea's rival countries, not only G2 (US and China). The results can be used in policy-making. Furthermore, identifying the AI industry's submarkets and analyzing each market's VC investment status could be used to establish strategies for the AI industry and R&D.

As a part of the Smart Cities Mission, the Government of India in 2015 embarked upon the development of 100 existing cities as smart cities. In this study, the authors selected Ahmedabad city as the smart city development in India and presented project-level elements of the city based on the secondary data availability. At first, the authors focused on peer-reviewed articles, policy documents, and technical reports. Next, the authors collected the secondary data of project-level elements of the Ahmedabad city from the years 2015 to 2019. The findings show no significant improvement in the sewage system and waste collection as compared to the level of investment made in these sectors. The study showed that the water supply system outperformed revenue generation based on the government investment made in that sector. As a lesson learned, these findings indicate that significant improvement should be addressed in sewage management and waste collection. These study findings could help government officials, investors, developers, and city planners in making the appropriate decision before and during smart city execution. The lesson learned from this study could be used as a reference to improve revenue during the future smart city implication.
