The purpose of this study is to understand the public needs for AI education actively promoted and supported by the current government. In doing so, 11 metropolitan news articles and Twitter posts regarding AI education that have been posted from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 were collected. Then, word frequency analysis using TF(Term Frequency) method and LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation) method of topic modeling analysis were conducted. The topics of the news articles turn out to be a macroscopic policy support such as 'training female manpower in the AI field' and 'curriculum reform of university and K-12', whereas the topics of twitter delineate more detailed social perception on future society, such as future competencies and pedagogical methods, including 'coexistence with intelligent robots', 'coding education', and 'humane education competence development'. The findings are expected to be used to suggest the implications for the composition and management of AI curriculum as well as the basic framework of human resources development in the future industry.

Drought is a social phenomenon in which the degree of perception varies depending on the affected factors, and is defined as various relative concepts such as meteorological drought, hydrological drought, agricultural drought, and climatological drought. In this study, a comparative analysis of meteorological drought among variously defined droughts was conducted and the applicability of the drought index was examined by comparing the actual drought cases and the results of meteorological drought index analysis. In order to compare the drought index, we used standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), China-Z Index (CZI), Modified CZI (MCZI) and Z-Score Index Respectively. Four drought indices were used for the Taebaek and Sokcho areas. The drought index was analyzed using the meteorological data from 1986 to 2015 for a duration of 3 months. As a result of the analysis, the SPI drought index was analyzed to be highly reproducible for the case of drought with past limited water series. In the case of CZI and MCZI drought indices, the number of extreme dry occurrences is similar to that of the past cases, but the reproducibility is low for the actual drought years. In the case of ZSI drought index, it is analyzed that the number of occurrences and the comparison with the past cases are inferior in reproducibility. For the meteorological drought index using precipitation, it would be effective to use the SPI drought index with the highest reproducibility and the past drought case.

The purpose of this study is to identify determinants for preferred funeral methods depending on socio-economic characteristics. In South Korea, the Act on Funeral Services, Etc. categorizes funeral methods into burial, inurnment, and natural burial. This study empirically analyzes how and what socio-economic characteristics affect choices among these three categories. Data is collected from Social Survey 2017 and funeral facilities in the country. The data to be analyzed is developed in terms of a hierarchy which puts the burial and cremation methods in an upper class and the inurnment and natural burial methods in a lower class. Based on this data, a nested logit model is employed to conduct empirical analysis. The analysis indicates that those characteristics that have a statistically significant influence on preferred methods include gender, age, householder, marriage, satisfaction with life, class awareness, monthly income, housing type, housing tenure type, and living in city area. Each variable's modulus of calculated direct and cross elasticity need to be used to analyze the outcome of a nested logit model. In this study, the modulus of direct and cross elasticity are determined for the significant variables. The calculated direct elasticity is applied to analyze the likelihood of choosing each funeral method when there are changes in the significant variables. When a particular method has been selected, on the other hand, the cross elasticity is utilized to analyze changes to the likelihood of choosing the other methods. One of the most notable results is related to natural burial. In order to meet the demand for natural burial, it is necessary to provide more burial sites and raise awareness of natural burial. This will facilitate the efficient use of national territorial space.

Behavior Economics, a branch of social sciences, which seeks to find the answers about why man sometimes does absurd economy-related things, came into existence through combining economics and psychology. To the contrary of the traditional economics', behavior economics has developed by explaining how man makes economy-related choices by means of applying their own cognitive principles. Individuals lack the information on the goods and services in the market, and don't know how to make best use of the obtained information, failing to achieve maximum utility. Therefore, man's rationality is meant to be confined to bounded rationality. It is the very Heuristic that does work in the process of this simplified decision making process. Heuristic utilizes established empirical notion and specific information, and that's why there can be cognitive biases sometimes leading to inaccurate judgment. As Oral Literature is basically based on heavy guesswork and perceptual biases of general public, it is imperative to contemplate oral literature in the framework of Heuristic of behavior economics. This thesis deals with thinking types and behavioral patterns of the short-piece proverbs, folklore language-game riddles on the basis of personal or public memory. As a result, it is evident that proverbs point out biases arising from human behaviors, while riddles make full or active use of biases.

Recently the problem of child abuses has become a big social issue. According to national statistics data portal, the population under 19 years old is shrinking trend, but the number of child abuse is increasing day ever. However, the number of counseling after calling is a constant level without large fluctuations. Due to the seriousness of the problems, child abuse is even worse despite the research and countermeasures. This study designed a study model on the child abuse based on a preliminary study and suggested plans for reducing child abuse through the big data analytics. When we see a result of test of the hypothesis, abuse actor characteristics, characteristics of children, and employment type were analyzed to have a significant impact on child abuse. Based on such analysis, this research has suggested ways to reduce child abuse, including educational and economic support measures.

The purpose of this research is to investigate Korean popular attitudes and social perceptions of 'sharing economy' terminology at the current moment from a creative or socio-economic point of view. In Korea, this study discovers and interprets the objective and tangible annual changes and patterns of sociocultural collective intelligence that have taken place over the last five years by applying text mining in the big data analysis approach. By crawling and Googling, this study collected a significant amount of time series web meta-data with regard to the theme of the sharing economy on the world wide web from 2010 to 2014. Consequently, huge amounts of raw data concerning sharing economy are processed into the value-added meaningful 'word clouding' form of graphs or figures by using the function of word clouding with R programming. Till now, the lack of accumulated data or collective intelligence about sharing economy notwithstanding, it is worth nothing that this study carried out preliminary research on conducting a time-series big data analysis from the perspective of knowledge management and processing. Thus, the results of this study can be utilized as fundamental data to help understand the academic and industrial aspects of future sharing economy-related markets or consumer behavior.

Public data has been transformed from provider-oriented information disclosure to a form of personalized information sharing centered on individual citizens since government 3.0. As a result, the government is implementing policies and projects to maximize the value of public data and increase reuse. This study analyzes the issues related to public data in the news and seeks the status of government agencies and government projects by issue. We conducted semantic analysis on domestic online news and public agency bidding information including public data and conducted the work of linking major key words derived with social and economic values inherent in public data. As a result, major issues related to public data were divided into broader access to public data, growth of new technology, cooperation and conflict among stakeholders, and utilization of the private sector, which were closely related to transparency, efficiency, participation, and innovation mechanisms. Also major agencies of four issues include the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and Seoul, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Gyeonggi-do, Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and Incheon, and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Gyeongsangbuk-do. Most of the issues are being led by the government.

The automobiles in Korea have approximately 60 years of history and this is relatively short compared to advanced countries. However, considering the traffic accident rate or severity related to automobiles, various efforts are required to reduce traffic accidents. Various problems caused by traffic accidents are not only related to individual damages but also have become social problems. In order to resolve this, it is important to analyze the cause of traffic accidents. This study aims to suggest methods to reduce traffic accidents by analyzing driving behavior, which is one of the reasons for a number of traffic accidents that were collected through traffic accident videos reported using DVRs (Driving Video Recorder) and were aired to the public via a SBS TV program for the past two years and four months. In particular, unlike other existing studies that aim at analyzing the causes of traffic accidents simply using data, this study constructed a database by analyzing every single DVR that stores the situation before and after the accident using relatively high-resolution video information to provide practical plans to reduce traffic accidents through statistical analysis.
