최근 IT기술의 발전에 따라 많은 사람들이 자신들의 여가활동에 대한 경험을 공유하고 있으며, 역으로 다른 사람들의 여가활동에 대한 경험을 참고하여 더 나은 여가활동을 누릴 수 있는 기회를 얻게 되었다. 이러한 현상은 영화, 숙박, 음식, 여행 등 여가활동 전반에 걸쳐 나타나고 있으며, 그 중심에는 여가활동에 대한 정보를 요약하여 제공하는 수많은 사이트가 있다. 대부분의 여가활동 정보 사이트는 각 상품에 대한 평균 평점뿐만 아니라 상세 리뷰를 제공함으로써, 해당 상품을 구매하고자 하는 잠재고객의 의사결정을 지원하고 있다. 하지만 기존 대부분의 사이트는 한 단계의 평가기준에 따라 평점과 리뷰를 제공하기 때문에, 각 평가기준을 구성하는 세부요소에 대한 특징과 평가기준 별 주요 이슈를 파악하기 위해서는 상당히 많은 수의 리뷰를 직접 읽어야 한다는 불편이 따른다. 즉 사용자는 자신이 중요한 것으로 생각하는 평가기준에 대한 조건을 파악하기 위해, 많은 수의 리뷰를 하나하나 읽어보는 과정에서 많은 시간과 노력을 소비하게 된다. 예를 들어 호텔의 접근성, 객실, 서비스, 음식 등 한 단계의 평가기준만을 사용하여 평점과 리뷰를 제공하는 사이트의 경우, 접근성 중 특히 지하철역과의 거리, 객실 중 특히 욕실의 상태를 살펴보고자 하는 사용자에게 필요한 정보를 충분히 제공하지 못하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 여가활동 정보 사이트의 한계, 즉 평가기준별로 입력된 리뷰를 신뢰하기 어렵다는 점과 평가기준을 구성하고 있는 세부 내용을 파악하기 어렵다는 점을 극복하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법론은 사용자가 별도의 구분 없이 입력한 리뷰를 그 내용에 따라 평가기준별로 자동 분류하고, 각 평가 기준 별 주요 이슈를 요약하여 제공한다. 제안 방법론은 최근 텍스트 분석에 활발하게 사용되고 있는 토픽 모델링(Topic Modeling)에 기반을 두고 있으며, 각 리뷰를 하나의 문서 단위로 사용하는 것이 아니라 리뷰를 문장 단위로 끊어 개별 리뷰 유닛(Review Unit)으로 분해한 뒤, 평가기준별로 리뷰 유닛을 재구성하여 분석한다는 측면에서 기존의 토픽 모델링 기반 연구와 큰 차이가 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안 방법론을 실제 호텔 정보 사이트에서 수집한 423건의 리뷰 문서에 적용하여 6가지 평가기준에 대해 총 4,860건의 리뷰 유닛을 재구성하고, 이에 대한 분석 결과를 소개함으로써 제안 방법론의 유용성을 간접적으로 보인다.

As the growth of online travel agencies (hereafter OTAs) accelerates, competition among hotels to gain exposure on the first page of OTA websites, and the financial burden, such as commissions hotels have to pay in return, are increasing. Therefore, to facilitate successful management in the tourism industry, it is important to establish what makes people continue the practice of using OTAs to book rooms in hotels and other accommodation outlets. By adopting the heuristic-systematic model (HSM), this study explores the factors that drive consumers' continued use of OTA and classifies them into heuristic cues (brand awareness, cost saving, and scarcity message) and systematic cues (recommendation quality and the ability to provide reputation). Furthermore, we divided the sample based on the location of hotels within and outside Korea, and investigated the different roles of the cues between two models. The results are expected to provide theoretical and practical implications for both OTAs and hotels.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the CSR activities of small enterprises in hospitality and tourism industry in South Korea. Since previous research on CSR activities has considerably focused on large enterprises whereas small enterprises have relatively less attention, this study aims to explore the characteristics of small enterprises in hospitality and tourism industry and their CSR activities. Research design, data, and methodology - The population of interest for this study was social enterprises registered in Korea Social Enterprise Promotion Agency (2016), and it was used to verify the social enterprises which has a certification for social enterprises. From 1672 companies in total, the sampling frame was a database with 117 companies in hospitality and tourism industry. This study investigates social enterprises' CSR activities on the company's official websites (e.g., company reports, magazines, the news articles, and interviews). The websites of the selected enterprises in hospitality and tourism industry were analyzed for examining CSR activities by the quantitative content analysis. All of the CSR activities in small social enterprises were classified into six dimensions based on the stakeholder theory. Results - The findings of this study provide the characteristics of the 117 small social enterprises and their specific CSR initiatives. A total of eight main business lines were identified: 1) fair travel, 2) leisure/sports, 3) accommodation/camping, 4) medical tourism, 5) exhibitions/art events/cultural events, 6) leisure activities for vulnerable social groups, 7) Korean traditional culture, and 8) ecotourism/agricultural tourism. The CSR initiatives were classified into six dimensions: 1) environment, 2) employment, 3) multicultural families and vulnerable social groups, 4) local community, 5) economic prosperity, and 6) product. Conclusions - This study revealed the special CSR initiative examples of small enterprises in hospitality and tourism industry. Small social enterprises participate in CSR activities mainly related to their own business lines. Moreover, these enterprises are more closely embedded in their local community development, job creation and education for local residents and vulnerable social groups, and traditional heritage preservation. The findings of this study provide theoretical and practical implications and they can contribute to enrich CSR with literature for small enterprises in hospitality and tourism industry.

세계적인 전자상거래 기업들은 지속 가능한 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해 사용자 맞춤형 추천 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 기존 관련 연구에서는 주로 평점, 구매 여부 등 정량적 선호도 정보를 사용하여 개인화 추천 서비스를 제공하였다. 하지만 이와 같은 정량적 선호도 정보를 사용하여 개인화 추천 서비스를 제공하면 추천 성능이 저하될 수 있다는 문제점이 제기되고 있다. 호텔을 이용한 사용자가 호텔 서비스, 청결 상태 등에 대하여 만족하지 못한다고 리뷰를 작성하였으나 선호도 평점 5점을 부여했을 때 정량적 선호도(평점)와 정성적 선호도(리뷰)가 불일치한 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정량적 선호도 정보와 정성적 선호도 정보가 일치하는지를 확인하고 이를 바탕으로 선호도 정보가 일치하는 사용자를 바탕으로 새로운 프로파일을 구축하여 개인화 추천 서비스를 제공하고자 한다. 리뷰에서 정성적 선호도를 추출하기 위해 자연어 처리 관련 연구에서 널리 사용되고 있는 CNN, LSTM, CNN + LSTM 등 딥러닝 기법을 사용하여 감성분석 모델을 구축하였다. 이를 통해 사용자가 작성한 리뷰에서 정성적 선호도 정보를 정교하게 추출하여 정량적 선호도 정보와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 추천 방법론의 성능을 평가하기 위해 세계 최대 여행 플랫폼 TripAdvisor에서 실제 호텔을 이용한 사용자 선호도 정보를 수집하여 사용하였다. 실험 결과 본 연구에서 제안한 추천 방법론이 기존의 정량적 선호도만을 고려하는 추천 방법론보다 우수한 추천 성능을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose - Recently, the prevalence of high-speed mobile communication technology (4G) and mobile devices (smart phones, tablet PC, etc.) is leading innovative changes across all fields in society as well as business environments. Furthermore, a diversified mobile application service has spread rapidly through mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs. Accordingly, the traditional E-government services paradigm has rapidly changed into mobile intelligence. To identify the influencing factors on the using intention of G4C smart app services, based on previous studies, the variables that influence using G4C smart app services are defined; these are user cognitive factors (perceived usefulness, perceived easiness), user characteristics factors (user innovativeness, self-efficiency, social influence), service quality factors (convenience, interactivity, accessibility), and system quality factors (instant connectivity, safety). Research design, data, and methodology - This is designed not only to collect data with a questionnaire survey (9/22/13~10/23/13) but also to test hypotheses with SEM by SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 in both Korea and China. All items are used with Likert 5 scales. A total of 643 questionnaires (Korea 318, China 325) are used. Results - The perceived usefulness and perceived easiness in user cognitive factors have positive influence on using intention. The user innovativeness, self-efficiency, and social factors in user characteristics factors have positive influences on using intention. The convenience, interactivity, and accessibility in service quality factors have positive influences on both reliability and using intention. Safety in system quality has positive influence on both reliability and using intention. Reliability has positive influence on using intention. The control variables (Korea and China) affect its control hypothesis. Strategies and implications are suggested to assist the public using the intention of smartphone's e-government services based on the results of the empirical analysis. The mobile application service can be considered a new emergence of the paradigm just like the government's on-line portal websites appeared in the past. Under this prevailing situation of mobile smart devices, to promote the success of e-government mobile APP services, accurate analysis and understanding of users should precede anything, to provide services to grasp and satisfy users' desire properly. Conclusions - This study proposes implications to help E-governmental officers and companies make strategies. First, this is expected to give some information on the understanding and knowledge regarding the process of G4C smart APP service based on the empirical study. Second, this helps to make future policies and ways about E-government G4C smart APP service. Third, it is proved that super speed mobile communication technology and devices including phones will be crucial to change the structure of E-government services in 2-3 years. Fourth, it is necessary to increase the trust and using intention of users. Fifth, considering what type of environment users are placed in, to present proper public information matching their inclination, is important. Finally, various ways of experiencing service to explore potential users and ceaseless public relations are required.
