The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing usage intention of u-Healthcare with voluntariness in long-term care hospitals. This model tests various theoretical research hypotheses relating to u-Healthcare, UTAUT theory and voluntariness. The proposed model is analyzed to target long-term care hospitals. Questionnaires have been collected during two months of 2010 and total 142 has been considered to be valid. Smart PLS (partial least square) 2.0 and SPSS 15.0 have been utilized for deriving the study results. The results of hypothesis testing are as follows. First, performance expectance, effort expectancy and social influence positively influence usage intention. Second, facilitation not influence usage intention. Still due to lack of technical infrastructure to promote conditions of use u-Healthcare in long-care hospitals for u-Healthcare system also considered to be not significantly affected. Finally, performance expectance to usage intention for low voluntariness group is significantly larger than those for high voluntariness group. In addition, social influence to usage intention for high voluntarines group is significantly larger than those for low voluntariness group.

The main purpose of this article is to find out the determinants of usage and performance of the uTradeHub system in Korean SMEs. To achieve the purpose of the study, the research model and the hypotheses were developed based on the previous research on uTradeHub and e-Trade. And to test the research hypotheses, empirical survey was conducted to Korean SMEs which were using uTradeHub services. The results of the empirical analyses are as follows. First, among the external factors, intra-industry competition and transaction intensity were significant determinants of uTradeHub usage level. Secondly, among the internal factors, only CEO's support was found to be a significant determinant. Thirdly, among the IT related factors, IT infrastructure and IT training were positively related to uTradeHub usage level. Finally, the uTradeHub usage level was found to have positive effect both on financial and non-financial export performance of the Korean SMEs.

The accelerated pace of climate crisis due to continuous industrialization and greenhouse gas emissions necessitates sustainable solutions that simultaneously address mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Naturebased Solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as viable approaches, with Green Infrastructure being a representative NbS. Green Infrastructure involves securing green spaces within urban areas, providing diverse climate adaptation functions such as removal of various air pollutants, carbon sequestration, and isolation. The proliferation of Green Infrastructure is influenced by the quantification of improvement effects related to various projects. To support decision-making by assessing the climate vulnerability of Green Infrastructure, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has developed i-Tree Tools. This study proposes a comprehensive evaluation approach for climate change adaptation types by quantifying the climate adaptation performance of urban Green Infrastructure. Using i-Tree Canopy, the analysis focuses on five urban green spaces covering more than 30 hectares, considering the tree ratio relative to the total area. The evaluation encompasses aspects of thermal environment, aquatic environment, and atmospheric environment to assess the overall eco-friendliness in terms of climate change adaptation. The results indicate that an increase in the tree ratio correlates with improved eco-friendliness in terms of thermal, aquatic, and atmospheric environments. In particular, it is necessary to prioritize consideration of the water environment sector in order to realize climate change adaptive green infrastructure, such as increasing green space in urban areas, as it has been confirmed that four out of five target sites are specialized in improving the water environment.

The application area of spatial information such as urban planing, facility management, traffic service are expanded to new service areas such as environmental pollution, securing resources, u-City. In particular, the increased importance of spatial information application in mobile environment based on smart phone, a mobile spatial data infrastructure and related strategy suggestions to provide mobile spatial information service is required. In this paper, we derived strategy suggestions to foster the next generation strategic industry and proposed the role of public sector, the development of mobile spatial information services, the construction of mobile spatial information infrastructure and the stepwise strategies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the status and characteristics of Web-based biographical information sources. Hence, this study examined the current status of Web-based biographical sources in China, Taiwan, Japan, and the U.S. It also conducted a comparative analysis of family names from the subject dictionary and Biography of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), reference books of China and the Chinese Historical Biographical Database and the China Biographical Database Project (CBDP) of the U.S. Furthermore, the problems related to status investigation and analyses of the Chinese biographical sources were studied. In this study, some suggestions were made to improve the management and usability of those biographical information sources in China and Korea.

In a u-City project in Busan, public transportation which is one of ITS has been considered. RFID system embedded with PXA255 chip and middleware capable of communicating a server side was developed. To perform data communication link with traffic card, developed system consists of wireless modules that are wireless LAN (IEEE802.11a/b and IEEE802.16. Using developed RFID system and middleware, it is expected that this system becomes a basic infrastructure to support a service of u-Traffic for u-City construction.

A Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is a promising infrastructure for the future U-healthcare system. In a WSN for the U-healthcare system, both biometric data and location data are transferred hierarchically from lots of mobile patients to the base station server and some countermeasures are made in real time if necessary. In this process, we encounter the load-balancing problem when many patients gather in a specific area. We also encounter the data duplication problem when each patient moves into an area monitored by several supervisors. The second problem is closely related to the first one. In this paper, we propose a mobile patient monitoring system with priority-based policy in load-balancing to solve the previous two problems and perform a DEVS Java-based system simulation to verify the system efficiency.

도시를 지능화 하고 삶의 질을 높이기 위해 시작한 u-City는 다양한 유비쿼터스 요소기술을 기반으로 도시의 보편적인 서비스로 역할을 시작하고 있다. 하지만, 막대한 초기투자비가 들어가다보니, 지자체에서는 기존의 방식이 좀 더 효율적인 방식이 아니었는지 궁금해 하고 있으며, u-City를 해서 개선되는 것이 무엇인지 명확한 답변 찾지 못하고 있다. 본 연구서는 도시를 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 필요한 민관협력 모델을 살펴보고 수익성을 확보하는 방안을 제시한다.
