Objectives: Research has shown that obesity appears to spread through social ties. However, the association between other characteristics of social networks and obesity is unclear. This study aimed to identify the association between social network characteristics and body mass index (BMI, $kg/m^2$) in an elderly Korean population. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 657 Koreans (273 men, 384 women) aged 60 years or older who participated in the Korean Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. Network size is a count of the number of friends. Density of communication network is the number of connections in the social network reported as a fraction of the total links possible in the personal (ego-centric) network. Average frequency of communication (or meeting) measures how often network members communicate (or meet) each other. The association of each social network measure with BMI was investigated by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, the men with lower density (<0.71) and higher network size (4-6) had the higher BMI (${\beta}$=1.089, p=0.037) compared to the men with higher density (>0.83) and lower size (1-2), but not in the women (p=0.393). The lowest tertile of communication frequency was associated with higher BMI in the women (${\beta}$=0.885, p=0.049), but not in the men (p=0.140). Conclusions: Our study suggests that social network structure (network size and density) and activation (communication frequency and meeting frequency) are associated with obesity among the elderly. There may also be gender differences in this association.

This study aimed to apply a methodological approach, 'social network analysis' to a case study for the understanding of relational structure among stakeholders related to green tourism development. By doing so, this study argued that it is important to identify stakeholder's network structure to help green tourism planners develop collaborative relationship among stakeholders. This study identified the stakeholders regarding a community-based festival development in the southern area of Korea, and investigated two types of networks among them: decision-making power relational and intimate network. Interviewer-administrated survey and in-depth interview were employed for data collection. The data was analyzed by SPSS (version 10.0) and Net-MinerII (version 2.5.0), and by constant comparison method. The result revealed that low different groups of the stakeholders were separated in the intimate networt and that the festival organizational body was not connected with other stakeholders in the decision-making power relational network. The existence of separated groups and weak relationship among the stakeholders appeared to relate to age-group differences, and different views on the festival between the stakeholders.

Companies have made an investment of cost and time to optimize processing of a new business model in a cloud environment, applying collaboration technology utilizing business processes in a social network. The collaborative processing method changed from traditional BPM to the cloud and a mobile cloud environment. We proposed a collaborative system for operating processes in social networks using MOXMDR-DAI+ (eXtended Metadata Registry-Data Access & Integration based multimedia ontology). The system operating cloud-based collaborative processes in application of MOXMDR-DAI+, which was suitable for data interoperation. MOXMDR-DAI+ applied to this system was an agent effectively supporting access and integration between multimedia content metadata schema and instance, which were necessary for data interoperation, of individual local system in the cloud environment, operating collaborative processes in the social network. In operating the social network-based collaborative processes, there occurred heterogeneousness such as schema structure and semantic collision due to queries in the processes and unit conversion between instances. It aimed to solve the occurrence of heterogeneousness in the process of metadata mapping using MOXMDR-DAI+ in the system. The system proposed in this study can visualize business processes. And it makes it easier to operate the collaboration process through mobile support. Real-time status monitoring of the operation process is possible through the dashboard, and it is possible to perform a collaborative process through expert search using a community in a social network environment.

Environmental issues are among the most critical issues nowadays. These issues are no longer confined to individual countries, and international society has been progressing in building global dialogues since the early 1970s. Within these international efforts, Germany and Japan have played essential roles in global environmental governance. However, there are major differences in nation-level environmental policies in both countries. Governance based on network structure is more efficient than that based on hierarchy for solving complex problems. The network structure is formed through horizontal cooperation among various autonomous actors, and the relationship intensity among actors is one of the key concepts in the governance. Using social network analysis as a framework to explain complicated societal structures explains how interaction among actors creates networks, and these networks further affect their interactions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure of environmental policy governance as collaborative governance in Germany and Japan. To address this goal, this paper analyzes the relationship between the informational dimension of governance networks and its complement resource-sharing networks in both countries. The results show that the information-sharing networks have lower-level network influence on the resource-sharing networks as higher-level networks even if not all of the information factors have singular influences. The results suggest that the information-sharing networks may be one of the pieces of the puzzle for explaining this phenomenon in environmental governance in Germany and Japan.

은퇴 후 사회적 관계망은 삶의 만족도에 중요한 영향을 끼친다. 사회적 관계망은 개인을 중심으로 여러 사람들과 관계를 맺는 것으로 구조적/기능적 특성으로 구분될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 두 가지 특징에 의해 체계적으로 은퇴 후 사회적 관계망의 변화와 변화에 영향을 주는 요인을 검증하였다. 본 연구에는 "고령화연구패널조사" 2008년도, 2010년도, 2012년도 자료를 활용하여, 45세 이상의 은퇴자 1,569명을 최종분석대상으로 추출하였다. STATA 12.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계분석을 실시하였으며, 은퇴자의 개인적 특성과 은퇴여부가 사회적관계망의 변화에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 Panel logit model과 fixed effects regression model방식을 이용하였다. 마지막으로 은퇴 여부와 사회적 관계망의 관계에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 Multiple panel logit model과 fixed effects model의 within추정 방식을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과 구조적 특성에서는 친한 사람 접촉빈도와 사회활동 참여 정도가 더 줄어들었다. 기능적 특성인 자녀로부터의 지원 유무는 은퇴자가 비은퇴자에 비해 지원이 더 적었다. 이에 본 연구는 은퇴 이후 사회적 관계망을 변화를 확인 하였으며 은퇴 후 노년기의 삶의 시작과 맞물린 현실에서 사회적 관계망이 축소되는 은퇴자들을 위한 제도적 지원 필요성을 시사한다.

본고는 MMORPG "월드오브워크래프트" 와 "마비노기"에서 나타나고 있는 사회적 네트워크(Social Network, 이하 ‘SN’) 기반 사용자스토리텔링에 대한 유형 및 생성 구조에 대한 연구이며, SN을 기반으로 인터넷 이슈로 자리해 온 사회적 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Services, 이하 ‘SNS’)에 대한 논의에서부터 시작된다. SNS는 게임 콘텐츠를 즐기는 플레이어들에 의해서 개발자 스토리텔링을 넘어 사용자 스토리텔링이 구현되는데 일조해 왔다. 본 연구에서는 SN지향 게임의 요소와 이들이 지닌 스토리텔링의 열린 가능성을 사회심리학을 바탕으로 한 커뮤니케이션이론을 이용하여 적용하고자 한다. 본고는 웹에서의 SNS가 중요한 이슈로써 게임 설계 및 사용자 스토리텔링까지도 꾸준히 영향을 미치고 있는 상황에서 MMORPG의 사용자 스토리텔링을 통해 게임의 SN지향 게임 요소를 살피는데 연구의 의의를 지닌다.
