  • Over the last few decades, various innovative technologies have emerged that have significantly contributed to making life easier for humans. Various information and communication technologies (ITCs) have emerged as a result of the global technological revolution, including big data, IoT, 4G and 5G networks, cloud computing, mobile computing, and artificial intelligence. These technologies have been adopted in urban planning and development, which gave rise to the concept of smart cities in the 1990s. A smart city is a type of city that uses ITCs to exchange and share information to enhance the quality of services for its citizens. With the global population increasing at unprecedented levels, cities are overwhelmed with a myriad of challenges, such as the energy crisis, environmental pollution, sanitation and sewage challenges, and water quality issues, and therefore, have become a convergence point of economic, social, and environmental risks. The concept of a smart city is a multidisciplinary, unified approach that has been adopted by governments and municipalities worldwide to overcome these challenges. Though challenging, this transformation is essential for cities with differing technological and social features, which all have the potential to determine the success or failure of the digital transformation of cities into smart cities. In recent years, researchers, businesses, and the government have all turned their attention to the emerging field of smart cities. Accordingly, this paper aims to represent a thorough understanding of the movement toward smart cities. The key themes identified are smart city definitions and concepts, smart city dimensions, and smart city architecture of different layers. Furthermore, this article discusses the challenges and some examples of smart cities.

  • The fundamental goal of this paper is to make a sketch of what trust looks like in Korean culture. To pursue this goal, we have resorted to materials linked to trust whose characteristics are theoretical, conceptual, observational and illustrational. Although a shortage of empirical and systematic data on trust is a big obstacle to profound understanding of trust operating in Korea, we would like to assign some significance to our attempt to conceptualize the concept of trust as it really is in the Maum(mind) of common Koreans. We believe that research paradigm for behavioral science should be cast off in research of mind-related phenomena like trust. A general practice cherished to date in doing psychological research is to pinpoint exclusively its focus on external manifestation of a given concept with no precedent analyses about it in anthropological and cultural-psychological perspectives. We would like to argue that complete understanding of naïve psychology of those phenomena should precede construction of psychological theories about them. That is, knowledge of interpretations, experiences and theories laypersons have in relation to mind-related phenomena has to be underpinnings of further theoretical elaborations about those phenomena.

  • The development of ICT brings a big change in manufacturing industries, and new information technology such as IoT, AR, and big data was applied on manufacturing process. As a result, the concept of smart factory has been introduced as a new manufacturing paradigm. In fact advanced countries like USA, Germany, and Japan have actively introduced smart factory in their manufacturing industries such as electronic, automobile, machinery, to improve production efficiency and quality. The manufacturing environment has been changed into flexible system, so that smart factory will be leading future manufacturing industries. Thes changes have more severe influence on Korean manufacturing industries. Mny industrial companies, have a strong interest in smart factory and they, particularly big enterprises, have been adopting smart factory to increase their manufacturing efficiencies. However, Korean small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have many financial and technological difficulties so that the diffusion of smart factory in Korean SMEs has not been satisfiable up to present. However, smart factory is very important for enhancing their competitiveness in global market. Therefore, this study aims at identifying the standardization strategy of smart factory in so-called Korean 'roots industry' by presuming that the standardization will activate the diffusion of smart factory among Korean SMEs. For this purpose, first, this study examines the competitiveness of SMEs, especially in 'roots industry' and identifies the necessity of diffusion of smart factory among those SMEs. Second, based on the active review on the existing literature, this study identifies four factor groups that would influence the adoption or diffusion of standardized smart factory. They are technological, organizational, industrial and policy factors. Third, using those four factors, this study made two comprehensive case analyses on the adoption and diffusion of smart factory. These two companies belong to molding sector which is one of the important six sectors in 'root industry'. Finally, based on the theoretical and empirical analyse, this study suggests four strategies for activating the standardization of smart factory; international standardization, government-leading standardization, firm-leading standardization, and non-standardization.

  • Marine Spatial Planning is an emerging strategy that promoting sustainable development at coastal and marine areas based on the concept of ecosystem services. Regarding its methodology, usage rate of resources and its impact should be considered in the process of spatial planning. Particularly, considering the rapid increase of coastal tourism, visitation pattern is required to be identified across coastal areas. However, actions to quantify visitation pattern have been limited due to its required high cost and labor for conducting extensive field-study. In this regard, this study aimed to pose the usage of social big data in Marine Spatial Planning to identify spatial visitation density and critical management zone throughout coastal areas. We suggested the usage of GPS information from Flickr and Twitter, and evaluated the critical management zone by applying spatial statistics and density analysis. This study's results clearly showed the coastal areas having relatively high visitors in the southern sea of South Korea. Applied Flickr and Twitter information showed high correlation with field data, when proxy excluding over-estimation was applied and appropriate grid-scale was identified in assessment approach. Overall, this study offers insights to use social big data in Marine Spatial Planning for reflecting size and usage rate of coastal tourism, which can be used to designate conservation area and critical zones forintensive management to promote constant supply of cultural services.

  • The purpose of this study is to pay attention to the expression of good and evil which has Been significantly developed out of the existing dichotomous good and evil in animation films and to identify for them. Even though 3D animation films provides us with a sense of realistic existence due to surprising technical powers, the stories contained in such films tend to remain in the limit of family films. However, recently, some films have been presented beyond such limit with a scenario that makes people introspect their inner side. Among them, this study considered the expression of good and evil of , which extended the meaning of didactic morality into the dimension of 'Philosophy of Dionysian yes', as significant for research purpose. More specifically, this study looked at and discussed this film in more details in the aspect of focusing on the value of good and evil for eliminating the boundary of the existing perspective and pursuing positive overcoming. The frame of the concept for discussion used the philosophical statements of Kant and Hegel as well as Nietzsche who explained the meaning of good and evil with Dionysian view. As to the method of research, this study attempted to understand the theoretically related concepts and discuss the meaning, along with the presentation of examples, by inputting such meaning into the expression of good and evil presented in the film. This study has the implication in identifying that an animation film, as a virtual world, plays a role of opening a new prospect for conversion of thought in our real world and expecting a future progress.

  • Through advances driven by the Internet and the Smart Revolution, the amount and types of data generated by users have increased and diversified respectively. There is now a new concept at the center of attention, which is Big Data for assessing enormous amount of data and enjoying new values therefrom. In particular, efforts are required to analyze narratives within video clips and to study how to visualize such narratives in order to search contents stored in the Big Data. As part of the research efforts, this paper analyzes dialogues exchanged among characters and offers an interface named "Character-net" developed for modelling narratives. The interface Character-net can extract characters by analyzing narrative videos and also model the relationships between characters, both in the automatic manner. This signifies a possibility of a tool that can visualize a narrative based on an approach different from those used in existing studies. However, its drawbacks have been observed in terms of limited applications and difficulty in grasping a narrative's features at a glace. It was assumed that Character-net could be improved with the introduction of information design. Against the backdrop, the paper first provides a brief explanation of visualization design found in the data information design area and investigates research cases focused on the visualization of narratives present in videos. Next, key ideas of Character-net and its technical differences from existing studies have been introduced, followed by methods suggested for its potential improvements with the help of design-side solutions.

  • This study proposes a device for the organizational frameworks and essential (content) elements of world realms in world regional geography subject. Here, the term 'organizational framework' means the method of realms division, reasonable number and naming of realms, and approaches to reams inclusively. And the term 'essential elements' designate the core elements as big ideas that every student must study through world reams. To approach these thesis, the author suggests that there is a growing trend of a combined regional concept to apply for reams division, that it is necessary to rationalize the number of realms and to prepare rather a synthetic approach to realms than a single one. And then, the author presents five essential elements as big ideas of world reams that composed of four by thematic approach and one by global-issue approach. But, this study emphasizes that in organizing the essential elements for a realm it is a better strategy to bring elements selectively with a realm because certain element fulfils function specially to certain realm.

  • Purpose. The purpose of this study is to examine how the phrase "old person" are expressed and used in the online sphere. Based on the theoretical concept of stigma, this study investigates the images and attitudes in society toward the elderly, and the characteristics of hate speech aimed at the elderly. Method. This study conducted text mining based on social big data using anonymous conversations. Results. It was confirmed that the elderly images shared online were generally negative. The attitudes expressed toward them also tended to be negative due to the negative images that are propagated of the elderly. The hate speech relating to the elderly, in usages such as 'Teul-ttag' and 'Kon-dae', were mainly identified in comments that negatively evaluate the elderly, and these expressions demonstrate the depth of hate and discrimination towards the elderly who are considered burdensome by young people. Interestingly, the hateful expressions towards the elderly were found more with regard to issues related to politics and economics and not just any content about the elderly. Conclusions. This study discussed the ways and means to enhance inter-generational understanding and solidity.

  • The World Heritage Committee decided to make "cultural landscapes" a world heritage category in the 16th Session of the UNESCO General Conference. The decision was made from a recognition of the importance of interactions between human beings and the natural environment or between cultural heritage and natural heritage. Many countries have created policies and institutions to protect their own cultural landscapes along with the changing times. Korea, however, has not obviously defined the concepts and categories of its cultural landscapes, but manages policies and institutions based on the concept of a scenic spot, which has some similar meanings. In addition, it even borrows the "list of landscape adjectives," one of the representative methods for managing landscapes, from foreign countries. With this background, this paper suggested how to define cultural landscapes according to the global development flow. It created a list of cultural landscape adjectives by gathering the adjectives that can properly express local cultural landscapes in Korea. In particular, it collected 4,556 articles from a local newspaper by focusing on the case of Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, and analyzed key words and adjectives included in them by using big data analysis. The results suggested by this paper, such as the "classification table of cultural landscape types," "list of cultural landscape adjectives" and "network map of nouns/adjectives" can be applied to research on other localities, and furthermore, used as basic data for finding and protecting the characteristics of local cultural landscapes in Korea.

  • The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is providing maritime safety services through the operation of the Korean e-Navigation service, and research is continuously needed to improve reliability and quality to secure the competitiveness of the system. In order to secure such competitiveness, we presented the basic design for the big-data maritime information gateway system for minimizes thereal-time operation impact of the Korean e-Navigation service, and a theoretical hardware structure diagram including pseudonymization procedures to implement the overall system and solve privacy security issues. However, the proposed structure diagram and design include only the overall concept, to link real-time maritime information, required detailed privacy security method to satisfy the Privacy Act of the Republic of Korea. To solve this problem, this study will identify factors to violate the Privacy Act within the real-time maritime information(privacy of shipowner, shipping company, captain, navigator, fisherman, etc.) linked by the big-data maritime information gateway system, and research the method to link the secured information to other institutions by encrypting identified the factors.
