The Korean economy has recently changed from industry-based economy toward information-based one, empha-sizing on information utiliation and technological development. It is important to examine the background for the incoming information society and spatial aspect of infromation, because informati-zation process itself contains spatial features like spatial concentrtion and dispersion. This paper generally focuses on the socio-cultural aspects of the informati-zation aspects. The main questions are as follows: 1) what are the ain questions of the exsisting Korean case studies on the informatization; 2) how can we find the charateristics of spatial concentration of informatization by informatization indices; 3) is there any relationship between the degree of informatiztion and regional development? The results of this study can be found in the following facts: (1) The exsisting studies cannot be generallized as spatial analysis on the informatization In general, they focus only a single aspect of information industry or information job. Futhermore, their spatial unit of analysis is limited to provincial level, rather thn city-level micro study. (2) There are big differences between the Capital region, especially Seoul, and others with regard to the socio-cultural aspects of informatiation. Such informatization is concentrated in Seoul. Inchon and Kyeonggi-do, which are the better positions in information intensive activities. (3) The regional differences for the level of informatization are much bigger than those for the level of welfare, suggesting that the informatization tends to concentrate in specified large cities like Seoul. It is clear the Korea is now entering the initial stage of information society.

The purpose of this study is to find out the use and inconvenience of informatization devices according to the disability of the elderly. A total 10,097 data from the elderly survey were used to analyze the differences in the possession and use of information devices, usage capabilities, and injustice according to disability. Descriptive analysis was conducted to find out general characteristics and disability-related characteristics. chi-square tests were conducted to find out the difference in informatization and communication device usage ability and information device usage inconvenience according to disability. The p-value was set at 0.001. As a result of the study, the elderly with disabilities in Korea had lower smartphones and tablet PCs than the non-disabled elderly. In terms of daily inconvenience, the elderly with disabilities often responded that they had no experience or did not know about the inconvenience of online reservations for trains/high-speed buses/intercity buses, ordering kiosks at restaurants, using ATMs, or reducing bank stores. Taken together, the ability of the elderly with disabilities in Korea to possess and use informatization devices is very low and they feel more inconvenience than the non-disabled elderly. It is necessary to improve the ability to possess and use informatization devices for the elderly with disabilities in the rapidly progressing aging of the disabled and the informatization of our society.

As the environment of the info-telecommunications policy is rapidly changing, the issue of promoting the informatization is emerging as a primary one of a government. In this sense, it is getting more recognized that, the informatization strategies centering on network-building should be interconnected with the issues of promoting the applications. Since the strategies to promote the informatization would necessarily result in the development, supply, and usage of the applications, needed are the consideration of policy directions to develop, supply, and use the applications effectively and of desirable policy means to carry them out. This study analyses the policies, which were related the issue of promoting the national informatization. And, this study also proposes the useful policy directions for an effective establishment of the applications in order to promote the national informatization.

Ever since the computer came into being in early 20th century, rapid development of the information technology has led to the opening of the ubiquitous age where daily works can be done anywhere, anytime, and with any devices. The information technology has drawn attention from Customs around the world as a key means to fulfill multi-faced responsibilities of strengthening regional cooperation in the international trade, simplifying clearance procedures, expediting logistics flow, and ensuring security in the global supply chain. Korea Customs Service, which began the informatization effort by establishing the electronic export declaration system in 1992, completed the 100% electronic clearance system in 2000, with a number of countries now conducting benchmarking studies on the successful use of IT by KCS. This paper is to address the changes brought to the Customs administration in the information age, the progress and achievement of the Customs informatization as a proactive strategy to deal with the changing environment, and the exportation to overseas administration of the e-clearance system of KCS which strives to become the global leader of Customs informatization. The exportation. in particular, will not only lead to increased foreign currency earnings and shared know how, but also create an opportunity to reflect Korea's system in the standardization of Customs procedures around the world.

This Study intends to Investigate the economic impact of information technology investment. Six countries in OECD are selected and analyzed to understand the empirical relationship between informatization level and productivity Correlation test and regression analysis are executed, using macro data concerning informatization index, total factor productivity and real output per worker hour The impact of informatization level on productivity is characterized by the time lag effect which is used to explain the productivity paradox in precedent studies. Empirical analysis shows that the higher informatization level and information intensity, the lower time lag effect. The result indicates that IT investment has characteristic as sunk cost and the economic impact is appeared after a certain period of time.

Korea e-government sets the goal of reaching the full integration stage. In this study, we propose a role model of the National Informatization Agency which is a fundamental organization for achieving the goal. The National Informatization Agency assumes full charge of support functions needed for consistent and efficient accomplishment of all the e-government projects, and those functions include e-government planning, project administration, national IT resource operation, national standards management, and project audit and evaluation. The proposed role-model is expected to be a theoretical basis for innovative government at informatization.

Enterprise should determine the adoption and utilization of information systems would be a great help to increase management performance. So, it maintains continually the budget and the investment for informatization. However, there is a limit to clarify whether the investment in informatization is contributed to create business opportunities through corporate competitiveness certainty or not. We tend to recognize the information system as a simple means to support common business rather than being used to achieve the company's business performance and to remain competitive. It is not an easy problem for the quantitative evaluation and analysis on the effect of intangible, such as management performance measurement by introducing computerization project. Informatization level evaluation model for the harsh business environment, specifically the Small and Medium Enterprise is lacking. In this paper, we proposed the audit evaluation model of an Small and Medium Enterprise informatization level based on system quality, information quality, user satisfaction, and IT business contribution. The proposed audit evaluation model was evaluated in the information system users, and verified the suitability throughout the survey of the audit professionals.
