This study reviews Korean public informatization policy implemented in last 20 years from the philosophical perspective and attempts to suggest directions to be considered in the future. To accomplish the research goal, this study first analyzes literature in the relevant areas, including philosophy of value, administrative ideology, and public informatization policy. Second, based on the results of literature review, criteria to analyze the public informatization policy are established. Then, the Korean public informatization policy is analyzed based on the established criteria. Lastly, implications for planning and implementing public informatization policy are suggested. Significance of the study lies in its attempt to examine public informatization policy from the philosophical perspective. However, due to its exploratory nature, this study has limitations including less rigorous measurement instruments, limited source of data, limited number of propositions established. Therefore, further studies are needed in these areas.

In this paper, we report the public IT policy case results to restructure informatization level indices for small and medium sized enterprise(SME). The indices restructuring project was initiated by TIPA with the group of experts during 2011, and the newly amended indices was employed as the formal instrument to measure SME informatization level. The critical drivers to reform the indices include simplification for more accurate measurement of SME informatization level, reshaping key representative indices of smart IT to better publicize SME's interest toward advanced IT, and systematic reconfiguration of performance measures which reflect business performance enhancement effect through IT investment. Indeed, the IT performance indices are unified to incorporate the instrument for general SME informatization level survey and IT adoption subsidy's effectiveness appraisal. The procedures and details of logic illustrated in this paper provides useful insight for successful implementation of SME informatization as well as for the better policy deployment of IT subsidization for SMEs.

For the visualization of outcome is relatively limited in informatization filed especially, systematic and quantifiable performance management of IT projects and policies is needed. Thus, the government developed its informatization evaluation system and has reinforced it. And Ministry of National Defense (MND) continues to strive for the settlement of the informatization performance evaluation system as well. According to Defense Informatization Law which was legislated in 2011, informatization policies should be assessed annually through informatization policy evaluation system in terms of their enforcement and outcome. However, informatization policy evaluation has not carried out since its pilot enforcement just after the legislation of the law. Hence, we conducted informatization policy evaluation aimed at performance investigation of 31 policies in '14~'18 Defense Informatization Master Plan. We sophisticated the current informatization policy system and we provide guidelines and tools to support the development of performance goal and indicators for each of the policies. Then, the policies were assessed by the evaluation committee we organized for our study, and we analyzed the problems we tackled in the whole process of evaluation and provided proposals for effectiveness enhancement of defense informatization evaluation system. The proposals will be meaningful for performance management in defense informatization sector and in public informatization sector as well.

This study is conducted to find out problems in the implementation system of regional informatization policies in Korea and solutions to enhance the effectiveness in policy execution. The study uses research methodologies such as participant observation, interview and AHP for experts and employees of public organizations for regional informatization policies. Many implications were found in the analysis, including that policy relations, structure of the policy implementation system, and environment and contents of regional informatization policiesin Korea have to be innovated and re-organized. Especially, this paper emphasizes the horizontal and cooperative relationship between the central and local governments and redesigning of the legal system on the regional informatization. This paper also shows expectations on reshaping of the regional informatization policies with the paradigm shift of the government power toward decentralization. This paper also finds diverse views on the problems and solutions for the regional informatization policy implementation system based on different characteristics and interests of policy participants. This paper finds the possibility of applying the policy network model to regional informatization policy implementation, which can be supported by Rhodes & Marsh(1992)'s theory. Therefore, this paper shows the change of regional informatization policies can be expected through application of the policy network. Although the paper draws many academic and policy implications, they are limited to the implementation system of regional informatization policies only.

Over the past ten years, a new knowledge-based information society is coming up with a new paradigm shifted from the Industrial Society. According to this paradigm, Korea's policies of informatization on public administration affairs are shaped and promoted by several responsible bodies, including the Ministry of Government administration and Home affairs, the National Computerization Agency, as well as central and local Governments. But most informatization actions, especially standard information system projects, have done separately by the Ministries of central government. Besides, because of the absence of informatization strategy in local governments such as cities, counties, etc., they pursue separately various informatization projects on administration affairs by divisions. It is a critical problem not to manage systematic and unified promotion of information systems policies on administration affairs in local government. As an initial attempt to tackle the problem listed above, by introducing systems thinking this paper puts an effort to find some tentative answers to solve the problem possibly raised about the impact by Standard Information System Policy on which little research has been conducted so far. The findings presented in the paper would perhaps provide some ideas and directions for further study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of home informatization on the family resource management. For this purpose we analyze the level of home informatization focused on the Internet use and it's effects on the family resource management through time management and financial management. Data were collected from 582 housewives who use the Internet at home. The results show that home informatization through the Internet use has changed family resource management totally. It contributes to improve planning and efficiency of resource management, but simultaneously it causes the imbalance of resource management. And the Internet use of housewives also affects time allocation and household expenditure. These changes depend on socio-demographics variables, home informatization related variables, and personal resource variables. The results show that the ability to manage time and finance have much more importance to improve the level of planning and efficiency and to decrease the level of imbalance in managerial subsystem. The results of this research suggest several implications for public policy.

Depending on the degree of access to information, social inequalities, especially economic inequalities, can increase. The information gap can lead to an income disparity, leading to an economic disparity. Recently, as we have evolved into a smart environment, our society is in a more complex situation in the digital divide. In the smart environment, unlike the wired Internet based environment based on the existing PC, various media services that are not tied to the transmission means are emerging and the information gap in the smart environment is causing even more serious problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between the informatization level and income of the Korean people based on the information gap index and the results of surveys conducted on the general public in Korea. If there is a difference in the level of income depending on the level of access, utilization, and utilization of information by the Korean people, a new approach or change is needed in the policy or strategy for resolving the digital divide of the Korean government.In particular, it should be accompanied by the consideration and concern for the information alienated group and efforts for the continuous support for the solution of the digital divide. The results show that the correlation between the informatization level of the Korean people and the household income is statistically significant (+). In addition, the correlation coefficient trend is positive, suggesting that the government needs various informatization policies to increase the informatization level of the general public in Korea.

In recent years, activities have become more important in political activities and participation in policies. Therefore, the level of digital informatization can affect the participation in policy in the online environment. In this study, we examined how the policy activities of the disabled have a relationship with the informatization level. To this end, we analyzed the relationship between the level of digital informatization and the level of satisfaction with policy activities based on the results of the digital divide survey of 2017. The results of this study are as follows: First, it shows that the disabled people have a positive relationship with the digital access and policy activity satisfaction levels such as the possession of wired / wireless information devices and Internet accessibility. Second, it is found that digital information capacity level and income level such as PC utilization ability and mobile digital device utilization ability have a positive (+) relationship. Third, as the level of digital information utilization such as wired and mobile Internet usage increased, the level of satisfaction with policy activities also increased positively. This suggests that the government needs various information policy to increase the level of digital informatization of the disabled.

In the aspects of existing cultivation and management of forest resources, national forest informatization has been promoted so that the public can use the resources and so that efficient and systematic cultivation and management of forest resources can be performed constantly. In particular, even though forest informatization has been attempted a lot despite the distinct characteristics of forest, the attempts have achieved little effects. Typically, many of the internal work systems of Korea Forest Service have been built for the purpose of collecting top-down data in the main office rather than the actual work site, and also, from the aspects of use by the public as well, various contents have been provided by the persons concerned, so useful information has not been able to be transmitted systematically. Therefore, Korea Forest Service has promoted IT governance concept and EA-based informatization as a way to solve enterprise problems and also reinforce work and service in the existing system to promote the project to build the foundation of national forest informatization. Based on this, this study suggests chief challenges or implications.
