As the usage of internet is increasing, a lot of user behavior are written in a log file and the researches and industries using the log files are getting activated recently. This paper uses the Hadoop based on open source distributed computing platform and proposes a customized tourism system by analyzing user behaviors in the log files. The proposed system uses Google Analytics to get user's log files from the website that users visit, and stores search terms extracted by MapReduce to HDFS. Also it gathers features about the sight-seeing places or cities which travelers want to tour from travel guide websites by Octopus application. It suggests the customized cities by matching the search terms and city features. NBP(next bit permutation) algorithm to rearrange the search terms and city features is used to increase the probability of matching. Some customized cities are suggested by analyzing log files for 39 users to show the performance of the proposed system.

There has been a high expectation that information technology (IT) can do something good for the rural perils. Efforts thus have been made in many countries to 'informatize' rural areas, namely to roll out IT infrastructure into remote areas and to enhance the computer literacy of rural residents. The present study examines the 'e-village' projects implemented in Korea and Japan. It evaluates the business models employed by the e-villages such as e-shops of local products and tour guide programs, the ways in which rural residents have managed their business models, the practices of information exchange within and outside of the villages, and the monetary gains of the business models. The study collects data mainly from the e-village web pages of both countries. The study reveals that the e-village business models have performed less than expected in general, and that Japanese e-villages are better off than the Korean counterparts. The study identifies the factors responsible for such mediocre performances of the business models including a lack of retail business experiences and capabilities of the rural people. The study findings highlight the importance of human resources, rather than the new technology per se, for rural development.

In this paper, we describe an outdoor augmented reality system using GPS tracking for position and attitude information. The system consist of a remote mobile operation unit and a ground operation unit. The remote mobile operation unit includes a real-time image acquiring device, a GPS tracking device, and a wireless data transceiver; the ground operation unit includes a wireless transceiver, a virtual image generating device, and an image superimposing device. The GPS tracking device for measurement of position and attitude of the remote mobile operation unit was designed by TANS Vector and RT-20 for DGPS. The wireless data transceiver was for data transmission between the remote mobile operation unit and the ground operation unit. After the remote mobile operation unit was installed on a vehicle and a helicopter, the system was evaluated to verify its validity in actual applications. It was found that the implemented system could be used for obtaining real-time remote information such as construction simulation, tour guide, broadcasting, disaster observation, or military purpose.

The purpose of this study was to compare the motivation factors between two groups: Chinese and Japanese tourists in Jeju-do. Also, this study offered an integrated approach to attempts to extend the theoretical and empirical research evidence on causal relationships of each group among motivation factors, perceived value, satisfaction, and intention to revisit and finally, the result of path analysis was compared. The results indicated that Chinese tourists' perceived value was positively affected by tourists' convenience(i.e. reservation system and tour guide) and their cultural experience had an influence on tourists' satisfaction significantly. On the other hand, Japanese tourists' satisfaction was positively affected by tourists' convenience and their perceived value significantly influenced on tourists' intention to revisit. The findings of this study can be used as a marketing strategy for each tourist group.

It is possible to track the moving vehicle as well as to develop the location based services actively according to the progress of wireless telecommunication and GPS, to the spread of network, and to the miniaturization of cellular phone. To provide these location based services, it is necessary for an index technique to store and search too much moving object data rapidly. However the existing indices require a lot of costs to insert the data because they store every position data into the index directly. To solve this problem in this paper, we propose a buffer node operation and design a GU-tree(Group Update tree). The proposed buffer node method reduces the input cost effectively since the operation stores the moving object location data in a group, the buffer node as the unit of a non-leaf node. hnd then we confirm the effect of the buffer node operation which reduces the insert cost and increase the search performance in a time slice query from the experiment to compare the operation with some existing indices. The proposed tufter node operation would be useful in the environment to update locations frequently such as a transportation vehicle management and a tour-guide system.

Concomitant with development of AR(Augmented Reality) and VR(Virtual Reality), interest in location based games and augmented reality have increased and various services have been developed. Due to this, AR, VR, MR(Merged Reality) techniques are considered one of fourth industrial revolution techniques. Oculus Rift which is representative of VR technology, and HTC VIVE need separate controllers, and don't offer service such as receiving external video information when users are using devices. In the case of project Alloy, which is a MR device of Intel, this has advantages such as controlling devices through hand signals and facial expressions, and receiving external video information. In this paper, we propose tourist guide system based on current position using MR. This system makes economical tour possible by arranging tourist attraction information which is from current position of tourists in correct places through external video information using MR, location determination using GPS, tourism information search using wireless internet.

Customer value has long been believed to be a direct trigger for increased tourist satisfaction, but as a mediating variable, it still needs to be proven further. This paper aims to examine the causal relationship between research variables, as well as to examine the role of customer value as a mediating variable in the relationship between service quality, brand quality, tourism products, customer value, and tourist satisfaction with tourists' objects. The population is tourists who visit tourist sites/destinations in the Gianyar Regency on the island of Bali, Indonesia, and the sample size is 270 respondents, selected through random sampling. Structural equation modeling (SEM), a multivariate statistical analysis technique, is used to analyze the causal relationships between variables. The results show that the model is accepted, and customer value is proven to be a positive mediating variable. The results also show that service quality, brand quality, and tourism products have an effect on customer value. This provides insight into the practical implications for tourism managers to increase the brand quality of tourist attractions as well as increase the professionalism and quality of tour guide services. This, in turn, will increase customer value and increase tourist satisfaction.
