The purpose of this study is to suggest a social environment to active communities in apartment housing, on the basis of the residents' different social environments of two apartment complexes having their own respective community spaces. A questionnaire was responded by 434 housewives residing in the two apartment complexes which have their own respective space usage and programs in the community spaces larger than is legally specified. The questionnaire comprised items such as neighborhood consciousness, social intercourse, needs of community program diversity. The frequency analysis, the t-test, ANOVA, chi-square analysis were used for the comparison of characteristics of the two apartment complexes. The results of the social environment are as follows. The neighborhood consciousness, social intercourse of residents, and their attitude for participation in the common activities differed according to the residents' socio-demographic characteristics (age, education, number of family, average household income), complex distinctions (presence of clubs, community spaces, and community programs), and the attitude of constructors to foster it. Residents' participation rate and their participation intention showed positive correlation.

The intention of this study is to reduce the drying shrinkage of the cement mortar using the shrinkage reducing agent and the inorganic admixture. In this experiment the drying shrinkage strain, rate of weight loss and strength have been measured depending on age using the motar specimen. The result show that the usage of shrinkage reducing agent up to 1.5% will give an effect of approximately 30% without loss of strength, and the efficiency will increase together with the inorganic admixture. Also, as the amount of shrinkage reducing agent increases, the rate of weight loss increases. Drying shrinkage reduces at the same rate of weight loss.

Internet has begun various transformation and innovation in terms of society, culture and industry. Today, Social Network Service(SNS) is an exceedingly popular and useful tool for making human relationships. Previous studies related to SNS, which based on Technology Acceptance Model(TAM), were focused on user acceptance of new technology. However, they had the limitations to focus on technology acceptance, without the consideration of the cognitive factors in using SNS. This study examined how the main factors of intention to use of SNS continuously affect perceived usefulness and ease of use through familiarity, self-expression, hedonic shopping value, utilitarian shopping value and personal relationship. The results of hypothesis testing showed that familiarity, self-expression, hedonic shopping value and personal relationship have some positive impacts on the perceived usefulness and ease of use. The practical contribution of this study is to suggest useful decision alternatives concerned to marketing strategies for acquiring and retaining long-term customers related to SNS business.

Purpose - This study aims to provide a brief understanding of usability and its extended models with TAM as well as identifying additional determinants that had been suggested in previous studies on mobile services. Research design, data, and methodology - Empirical data were collected by conducting a field survey of potential mobile application service users. The call for participation was also made in mobile related application issues, which were widely discussed. Result - The ease of use and usefulness had a significantly positive influence on attitude and intention. It also was revealed that added value services can offer practical value to customers. Thus, positive attitudes toward the adoption of services by customers are present when they perceive higher usefulness and ease of use of mobile application services. Conclusion - It was indicated that customers who are more inclined to try new products or who have a higher demand for new things tend to think about those functionalities and added value mobile application services from the perspective of usefulness and ease of use and operation.

본 연구는 정보시스템이 조직에 수용된 후의 이용단계에서 사용자의 지속사용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들간의 관계 모형을 도출하고, 실증하였다. 실증분석 결과, 성격심리유형과 주관적 지각인 기대일치, 자기주도성, 자기효능감이 정보시스템 수용 후 단계에서 지속적인 사용을 예측할 수 있는 변인으로 나타났다. 따라서 정보시스템 도입 초기의 기술수용관점에서 설명하였던 TAM과 그 확장모형들과는 달리, 수용 후 정보시스템 지속사용 성과 요인에 대한 인식을 사용자 중심으로 하는 방향으로 관점의 변화가 필요하다는 결론을 도출하였다.

현재 홈네트워크 산업의 부진과 문제점 현황을 정리해 보면, 이용자 입장에서는 꼭 필요한 서비스라고 느낄 수 없다는 점과 비용 대비 가치의 불만족 등 유용성의 문제점이 있으며, 소비자의 낮은 인지도와 상품 이해도의 용이성 문제를 언급할 수 있다(이희상 외, 2006). 본 연구에서는 Davis(1989)가 제안한 기술수용모델에 기반하여, 현재 홈 네트워크가 설치된 서울 시내의 아파트 주민들을 대상으로 인지된 유용성과 용이성이 홈 네트워크에 대한 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 나아가, 홈 네트워크에 대한 사용의도가 해당 아파트의 주거가치에 대한 인식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지도 연구하였다. 그 결과, 인지된 용이성과 유용성은 홈 네트워크에 대한 사용의도에 정의 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 중 용이성은 유용성에 대한 선행변수로 작용함을 확인하였다. 또한, 홈 네트워크에 대한 사용의도는 해당 주거지에 대한 가치를 제고하는데 영향을 미침을 입증하였다.

BIog services have been developed in 5 years and also many companies have introduced many kinds of blog services as well. It is expected that the blog services will grow continuously. As the number of blog users is growing rapidly, the blogs progressively exert their influences on our society and are directly connected to the success or the failure of the portal site businesses. Thus it is necessary to investigate users' motivation to use blog and to predict their intention of continuous uses of the blog. Specifically, this study is to focus on user's motivation and user's psychological status in using the blogs. Furthermore, this study explores their causal relationships. The study tries to investigate what motivations make users to use the blogs on the regular basis. Its results show that two motivation factors, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors, significantly affect user's flow experiences and the flow experiences affect general use of the blogs.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new equipment acceptance model in the industrial market and test it empirically using a field survey. To define new equipment acceptance factors of employees in the organization, we used the TAM as a useful model to analyze the acceptance process of new equipment. All of the data for the TAM were collected from the employees. Prior research studied the usage of general information technology using a computer and particular software, while we apply the TAM to the new equipment adoption. In this study, both theoretical review and empirical study were conducted and the model was set through the theoretical study which was tested through the empirical analysis. Management support and training/education were shown to have a positive effect on PU and PEOU. Personal innovativeness, management support, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were shown to have a positive effect on behavioral intention.

Big data is prominently used as a prediction method in achieving a goal, because it can analyze the regularities to predict future results from a vast amount of past data. Furthermore, big data has huge influence in very diverse academic fields. On such awareness, this study analyzed the regular effect of e-Commerce usefulness from the effects which expectations on big-data service affect the usage purpose of e-Commerce usefulness. This study categorized e-Commerce usefulness into quality recognition, service, and ease, and studied how each category works between the relationship of big-data service expectation and the use intention.

This paper is to explore the success factors of the online public grievance redressal system in the Nepal. It empirically tests the conceptual path model developed by DeLone and McLean which consists of six social perception variables with regard to citizen's intention to use the system. The estimates from 577 respondents support all the 13 hypotheses generated from D&L model. People's attitude and social norms are the two most important factors on the continuous usage of the system. It is suggested that the social factors are as much important as technological aspects when it comes to the e-government implementation. It is also suggested that the government should pay more attention to human factors in upgrading the design and development of e-grievance system in the foreseeable future.
