The purpose of this study was to identify the types of social networks of urban housewives according to different network composition patterns and to analyze the structural and functional characteristics of identified types. The data used in this study were collected from 589 full-time housewives residing in Taejeon city. The major findings are as follows: 1) The social networks of housewives in urban nuclear families were classified into eight types: the kin network, the non-kin network, the kin-centered network, the friend-centered network, the neighbor-centered network, the associate-centered network, the parallel network, and the decentralized network. 2) The structual characteristics (size, density, homogeneity, duration, proximity, frequency, closeness, direction) varied according to the type. The kin network type and the non-kin network type showed extreme degrees in network characteristics. The parallel network type and the decentralized network type showed an average level of network characteristics. The kin-, friend-, neighbor-, and the associate-centered types showed network characteristics of an intermediate level between the single-category types and the decentralized type. 3) The average levels of function of social network types were different in only two(service support, interference) of the six function areas(emotional support, service support, material support, information support, social companionship support, interference). The average level of service support by the non-kin network type was higher than other types. The average level of interference by the kin-centered network type was higher than other types, and that of the neighbor-centered network type was lower than other types. On the other hand, the total amount of function performance of social network types was different in all function areas. The total amount of social support given by the decentralized network type was greater than the other types. The total amount of interference given by the non-kin network type was smaller than the other types.

창조경제 새로운 패러다임의 변화는 사회적 관계의 변화에 영향을 끼치고 있으며, 소셜 네트워크 서비스 등의 발전에 따라 나타나는 새로운 관계의 공간적 특성에도 영향을 끼치고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 변화에 영향을 미치는 동력을 '소셜 네트워크 리소스(social network resource)'로 명명하고, 그에 따라 나타나는 제반 특징과 경제지리학적 관점에서의 공간적 특성을 설명하고자 하였다. '소셜 네트워크 리소스'는 개방성과 공유, 참여, 협력의 특징을 보여주는 동시에, 공간적으로는 로컬과 글로벌의 특징을 모두 아우르는 소위 '트랜스 로컬리티'의 특성을 보이고 있는데, 서울시의 사회적 지식공유 웹 플랫폼인 '위키서울닷컴'의 사례를 통해 그러한 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 물리적자원, 인적자원, 정보자원의 특성과 함께 관계자원으로서의 특징이 모두 나타나고 있으며, 이러한 특징에 공간이 투영되어, 사회적 관계가 공간에 표출되는 질적 공간의 특성 또한 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

Social network analysis is a graphical technique to search the relationships and characteristics of nodes (people, companies, and organizations) and an important node for positioning a visualized social network figure; however, it is difficult to characterize nodes in a social network figure. Therefore, their relationships and characteristics could be presented through an application of correspondence analysis to an affiliation matrix that is a type of similarity matrix between nodes. In this study, we provide the relationships and characteristics around authors and keywords in the JKSS(Journal of the Korean Statistical Society) of the Korean Statistical Society through the use of social network analysis and correspondence analysis.

Social network service(SNS), provided by social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Cyworld is rapidly growing in online business. Furthermore, many companies have growing interests in finding effective ways to use SNSs for their innovations, marketing and advertisement. In fact, firms have recognized the utility value of the SNS for their business. In this aspect, this study attempts to identify key factors influencing the intention to continuous use of SNSs. Based on the UTAUT(the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology)model, this study proposes the research model, including the effects of social network service characteristics(social relationship support, information sharing, image expression) and individual characteristics(self-disclosure, extroversion, familiarity) on performance expectancy as well as the moderating effect of perceived information security among UTAUT variables. The 412T sets of data collected in a survey were tested against the modeling using SEM using SmartPLS. Results indicated that social network service and individual characteristics had significant effect on performance expectancy with exception of self-disclosure. In addition, the moderating effect of perceived information security had significant effect. The results had important implications for firms providing SNSs hoping to develop a successful business model.

This study attempted to identify the type of social network interventions and barriers to implement them. Few empirical studies have been conducted concerning social network interventions as professional activities. Although social support and social network interventions have been noted as important practice concepts, the existing studies ten us little about how social workers perceive and experience social network interventions. This study used seven types of social network interventions identified in the previous studies. And based on "obstacles to social network interventions scale" developed by Biegel, Tracy & Song (1995), a twenty-two item scale was developed by the authors. The results from this study show that social workers little implement social network interventions such as community empowerment, family caregiver enhancement, and support group, and that they perceive organization characteristics and profession-oriented culture as important obstacles to implement social network interventions. The findings from this study suggest various strategies to address these barriers.

Objectives: Research has shown that obesity appears to spread through social ties. However, the association between other characteristics of social networks and obesity is unclear. This study aimed to identify the association between social network characteristics and body mass index (BMI, $kg/m^2$) in an elderly Korean population. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 657 Koreans (273 men, 384 women) aged 60 years or older who participated in the Korean Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. Network size is a count of the number of friends. Density of communication network is the number of connections in the social network reported as a fraction of the total links possible in the personal (ego-centric) network. Average frequency of communication (or meeting) measures how often network members communicate (or meet) each other. The association of each social network measure with BMI was investigated by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, the men with lower density (<0.71) and higher network size (4-6) had the higher BMI (${\beta}$=1.089, p=0.037) compared to the men with higher density (>0.83) and lower size (1-2), but not in the women (p=0.393). The lowest tertile of communication frequency was associated with higher BMI in the women (${\beta}$=0.885, p=0.049), but not in the men (p=0.140). Conclusions: Our study suggests that social network structure (network size and density) and activation (communication frequency and meeting frequency) are associated with obesity among the elderly. There may also be gender differences in this association.

본 연구는 G. 레이코프와 M. 존슨이 제시한 '개념적 은유'를 적용해 소셜 네트워크 서비스의 은유적 특성을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 소셜 네트워크 서비스는 일방향적 소통만 가능했던 기존 매체와는 달리, 사용자가 참여적으로 자신의 일상을 표현하고 타인의 서사를 해석하는 과정을 통해서 그 텍스트를 확장한다. 기존 매체에서 수동적이던 독자가, SNS에서 적극적인 발화자로 전환될 수 있었던 가장 큰 이유는 SNS에 내재된 은유적 속성 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SNS 사용자 텍스트의 생성 및 해석 과정을 '근원영역'과 '목표영역'을 중심으로 고찰했다. 이후 은유적 속성을 통해 나타난 사용자 텍스트의 생성구조를 폴 리쾨르의 삼중 미메시스를 통해 증명했다. SNS를 환유로 전제했던 기존의 연구 관점과 달리, 본 연구는 SNS의 은유적 특성 및 의미를 제시했다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 사회자본(social capital) 이론에 기반을 두고 조직 구성원 간 관계망인 사회네트워크(social network)의 특성이 조직이 외부로부터 새로운 지식의 가치를 인식하고 이를 조직의 기존 지식과 결합하는 과정에서 흡수, 동화, 공유하는 흡수역량(absorptive capacity)에 어떠한 영향을 주는지, 나아가 지식사회에서 조직의 지속적인 경쟁우위를 위한 핵심역량인 이러한 흡수역량이 향후 조직의 혁신 성과에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지를 실증적으로 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 사회네트워크의 구성원 간 관계강도에 따라 관계가 약한 네트워크(외부 매개성이 높은 네트워크)와 강한 네트워크(내부 결속력이 높은 네트워크)는 각각 서로 다른 특징을 가지고 흡수역량 수준에 영향을 미치게 된다. 더불어 본 연구는 관계강도에 따른 다른 특징의 사회네트워크와 흡수역량 간 상호관계가 네트워크를 관리하는 관리자의 역량에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 조절효과로 검증하고자 한다. 지식기반산업에 종사하는 368명의 혁신 지향적 프로젝트 수행자를 대상으로 실증분석을 한 결과, 내부 결속력과 외부 매개성은 흡수역량에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 흡수역량 역시 혁신성과에 매우 유의한 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Many studies have pointed out that trust is the most important component of social capital. Although there have been lots of attempts to measure level of trust between members of community, it is hard to find studies which examine trust from the standpoint of structural aspects. Because of the recent rapid growth of SNS and openness trend on members and their friendship information, it became possible to understand the structure of trust relationships among users in SNS. This study aims to facilitate interpersonal trust by comparing the structure of the trust network among social network users. For this purpose, it proposes a method to explore the structure of trust network and strategies to evolve toward more open structure. In experiments to distinguish structure of trust network with three social network communities, it is discovered that ADVOGATO has characteristics of open and collective network together whereas EPINION and FILMTRUST have collective and open characteristics respectively.
