We investigated the user behavior of the theme display provided by the public libraries as an active information service. Specifically, we wanted to study the library patrons' library use behavior and perception. There were in-depth interviews with seven librarians and eight patrons to develop a set of research questions and the questionnaire. We conducted the survey with 232 patrons then the statistical analysis. The analysis result revealed that the theme display helped the patrons' wider use of the library resources and also positively affected patrons' perception on the librarians as well as the evaluation of the library services. Based on the findings, we recommended the active incorporation of the theme display within the limitation of the libraries' facility and patrons' interests.

Objective: The aim of this study is to get an optimal mental model by investigating user's natural behavior for controlling smart TV by mid-air gestures and to identify which factor is most important for controlling behavior. Background: A lot of TV companies are trying to find simple controlling method for complex smart TV. Although plenty of gesture studies proposing they could get possible alternatives to resolve this pain-point, however, there is no fitted gesture work for smart TV market. So it is needed to find optimal gestures for it. Method: (1) Eliciting core control scene by in-house study. (2) Observe and analyse 20 users' natural behavior as types of hand-held devices and control scene. We also made taxonomies for gestures. Results: Users' are trying to do more manipulative gestures than symbolic gestures when they try to continuous control. Conclusion: The most natural way to control smart TV on the remote with gestures is give user a mental model grabbing and manipulating virtual objects in the mid-air. Application: The results of this work might help to make gesture interaction guidelines for smart TV.

This research examined the residents' behavior in using space, focusing on the kitchen area where there was the most change, in order to understand the transition of living culture through the ages. The following findings were obtained: 1) Today's apartment residents prefer 'Island' style which is located a separate counter and work space. Thus the kitchen m is now being recognized as a place spacious, and where the whole family can participate. 2) The usage of the kitchen is not only limited to cooking or keeping household goods but also broadened to washing, private life, happy home circle, inviting guests etc. Especially, family union or inviting guests in the kitchen is more frequent as the houses become larger, private refreshment or reading in the kitchen is proportional to income and to people living in homes where the kitchen and dining room is divided independent 3) Looking at the dietary life styles of today's apartment residents, there are more well-being type and tradition type than prosessed type.

The goal of research is to propose a framework for drawing data search system which is based on the web. The existing search systems were reviewed in the form of case studies and thereby the limitation were addressed: the unsystematic translation between the presentational building model and the discursive design criteria. besides the limited area in sharing and space. Therefore, a web-based drawing search with common structure which building representational model and building behavior model is proposed. The system contains a number of phases: firstly, a user is required to build a building model with the proposed building representational model and then this model is automatically transformed into an aspect model; secondly, a user is also required to present his query in form of the propose building behavior model by web page; finally, these two models - building representational model and building behavior model - are compared by database data so as to retrieve the proper result.

The purpose of this study is to find the factors that influence big data characteristics on decision satisfaction and utilization behavior, analyze the extent of their influence, and derive differences from existing studies. To summarize the results of this study, First, the study found that among the three categories that classify the characteristics of big data, qualitative attributes such as representation, purpose, interpretability, and innovation in the value innovation category greatly enhance decision confidence and decision effectiveness of decision makers who make decisions using big data. Second, the study found that, among the three categories that classify the characteristics of big data, the individuality properties belonging to the social impact category improve decision confidence and decision effectiveness of decision makers who use big data to make decisions. However, collectivity and bias characteristics have been shown to increase decision confidence, but not the effectiveness of decision making. Third, the study found that among the three categories that classify the characteristics of big data, the attributes of inclusiveness, realism, etc. in the integrity category greatly improve decision confidence and decision effectiveness of decision makers who make decisions using big data. Fourth, it was analyzed that using big data in organizational decision making has a positive impact on the behavior of big data users when the decision-making confidence and finally, decision-making effect of decision-makers increases.

So far, the behaviors of Web users have been predicted or analyzed mostly by their demographic characteristics or by considering in which context they gain access to that. But now there is a question about whether those characteristics are the only factors to trigger their use of Web. If the answer is not affirmative, what types of additional factors could cause such an action and how they characterize it should be discussed. User profile information has been considered one of the crucial elements to define user characteristics in user-centered UI design sector, and in order to apply it to UI design, it's needed to meditate on the above-mentioned questions. In this study, it's first attempted to have a good understanding of the users of different media and to review existing user classification methods. Next, user classification variables and relevant scales were prepared to sort out users according to their type of using Web, and case study was conducted to identify the behavioral characteristics of users and classify them according to their behavioral features. Finally, the user profile features of individual user groups were figured out based on data that were gathered by making an experiment, and data mapping was fulfilled between the behavioral characteristics and user profile characteristics to find out what types of behaviors were caused by the characteristics of user profile. As a result, it's found that user characteristics could have an impact on not only their general information and relevant contexts but their attitude of using different media and personality type. There were some problems with the experimental design, but more accurate information on the relationship of user behaviors to user profile characteristics will be obtained if those problems are eliminated. As user behaviors could be predicted only by user profile characteristics, user classification is expected to make a contribution to enhancing the efficiency of UI design.
