Abstract

This research analyzed how smart devices and Social Network Service (SNS) change the construction of social capital. The results show that smart devices provide the foundation of expending 'bridging social capital' by offering various communication tools. SNS reinforces 'bonding social capital' and extends 'bridging social capital' by expanding social relationships from off-line to online and supporting the construction of online communities. In contrast, the use of SNS through smart devices is not related to the generation of social capital. However, it builds a multi-aspect social capital by making people participate in various social activities.

본 연구에서는 스마트기기 및 SNS의 활용이 사회자본의 형성에 미치는 영향을 설문조사를 통해 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 스마트기기는 다양한 커뮤니케이션 방식을 제공함으로써 교량적 사회자본을 확장할 수 있는 기반을 마련해 주고 있다. SNS는 오프라인에서 형성된 사회적 관계를 온라인으로 확장시킴으로써 결속적 사회자본을 강화하고 있으며, 온라인 커뮤니티 구축을 통한 사회적 관계의 확장을 이끌어내어 교량적 사회자본을 증대시키고 있다. 반면, 스마트기기를 이용한 SNS의 활용은 사회자본의 증대와 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 사람들의 사회활동의 참여를 활발하게 함으로써 복합적인 사회자본을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다.
