Ministry of Land, Transportation and Marine Affairs has implemented Construction CALS project for improving informatization level of construction industry and for making construction production system efficient. Construction CALS project has been implemented since 1998, however, there has been no attempt to measure how high the informatization level of Construction CALS is. This study measured the informatization level of Construction CALS by using the evaluation index proposed in the former studies. For measuring the level, this study made questions and selected samples, did survey, and analyzed the survey results. According to the results, Construction CALS is excellent for the fast rehabilitation of system errors, the web-base environment of system, the application of standard classification system, and the development of information strategic plan. This study will contribute to find out the informatization level of Construction CALS precisely.

The introduction and application of IT(Information Technology) to a company has become to be viewed as a key factor for the business competitiveness and improved productivity. This study presents an approach to evaluation of a company's informatization level, which is especially appropriate for small and medium enterprises. The proposed evaluation method, based on the traditional questionnaire approaches, considers the various characteristics of the company, e.g., types of business, characteristics of customers, and locations of supply chains etc. A web-based system was developed to enable users to obtain the evaluation results from the evaluation method. The system also provides a function to produce valuable strategies for informatization by utilizing the case base which will be cumulated by repetitive evaluation requests. Finally, a real case was analyzed in order to verify the practicality of the evaluation system.

In recent years, the main concerns of enterprise management activities is how to strengthen the competitiveness to quickly respond to changes and sustain the growth in business environment. In order to achieve competitiveness and sustainability, a large variety of production informatization systems, such as MES (Manufacturing Execution System), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), have been introduced to manufacturing companies. However, there have been many problems owing to the reckless introduction of those systems. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the informatization level of the manufacturing company before introducing production informatization systems. This paper presents methodology and system to evaluate the informatization level of manufacturing company. The proposed evaluation method, based on the traditional questionnaire approaches, considers the various characteristics of the company. And then, we proposed models for calculation and production informatization level using 450 results of conducting a survey. Finally, a web-based system was developed for the evaluation of informatization level.

The potential of information and communication technologies has already had a profound impact on many ways of our living and society. To catch up with this trend, Korean government has demonstrated the vision for informatization called‘Cyber Korea 21'/'e-Korea’project and has fully supported the education for informatization which is one of the key factors to reduce the digital divide. But, In spite of developing a variety of training programs with different target groups and policy objectives, a digital divide remains in some cases even while Internet access and computer ownership are rising rapidly for almost all groups. For example, the noticeable divides still exists between men and women. To accelerate the process of women informatization, which we believe to be major contributors for the high quality of life for women, we need to promote full-time housewives to become aggressive information users and producers. Internet shopping, for example, might be a good starting point for motivating women to become active information users. In this paper, we present a model for explaining the factors affecting the degree of satisfaction of housewives from internet shopping. Based on data collected from a questionnaire survey from housewives in Seoul, we conclude that the perceived usefulness, ease of use and the playfulness significantly affect the level of satisfaction, but the playfulness does not directly affect the intention to revisit and purchase. In addition, we found out that the perceived usefulness is affected by efficiency, attitude and easy to access. We also provide other interesting statistical results and implications.
