The purpose of this study is to take a closer look at the child-rearing experiences of a two married individuals who were both raised in a child care institution after they had been separated from their parents. Data was collected from a husband and wife who had grown up together in the same child care institution, and in-depth interviews were conducted on them. The research method was analyzed by a qualitative case study. According to the results, the following main themes were extracted from the experiences of the child-rearing couple : 'A family made to escape loneliness', 'Childbirth that started without preparation and fell into the swamp of child rearing', 'Faced reality, regret, and reflection', and 'Finally regaining strength because of the responsibility to be a parent'. The couple married with vague fantasies and without any preparation to escape from the terrible loneliness. Like the marriage, the couple subsequently did not have a specific plan for childbirth. Later, it proved difficult to raise children who did not receive enough information or education, and the couple became exhausted. After the child entered the day care center, the couple experienced a sense of regret and was forced to reflect as they faced a child who resembled their negative appearance. The couple also reported that they felt deeply responsible for their parents even though they did not grow up with any form of parental care. Based on these findings, this study suggested a social welfare intervention plan which could have helped the married couple grow up in the child care institution.

The modern society is changing paradigm by the 4th industrial revolution. In these changes, the importance of geospatial information leading to the fusion and connection of persons and objects is increasing day by day. GNSS CORS(Continuously Operating Reference Station) plays a pivotal role in the geospatial information by providing basic data for surveying control points, mapping, navigation, geophysical research, and so on. On the other hand, the satellite surveying technologies are developing rapidly and it is necessary to investigate the status of the satellite surveying environment and search for future directions. In this study, the environment related to satellite survey by operation status of domestic and overseas CORS(Continuously Operating Reference Station) was tried to analyze. Through the research, The operation status of NGII and IGS CORS were presented. It was found that the availability ratio of multiple satellites to the CORS of NGII are lower than that of IGS CORS. Considering the improvement of positioning performance by using multiple GNSS, it is necessary to use multi-satellites in the future.

Because the exhibition space in the virtual reality is another kind of reality, which exits in another level, it enables us free from time and physical space, so using the virtual reality will be an effective practice for overcoming cultural divide and managing museums. Especially, virtual reality could transform a fixed physical space into portable contents, so this characteristic would be useful and meaningful when applying the outreach program, which claimed to stand for 'museum out of museum' as following. First, it will give more opportunities of experiencing museums to many people because of freedom of physical space, one of the advantages virtual reality has. Second, people will experience and understand the contents under the context, rather than simply exposing information of artifacts one by one. Third, even people who are far from a museum can experience identical contents at the same time, so this synchronicity will enhance communications among people and the society. Fourth, it will provide rich contents to people by putting a variety of exhibitions into one VR device. Fifth, it will be useful for archiving the exhibition with minimizing the loss of contents. Sixth, VR will convert museum visitors from observers to operators. Finally, VR can expand the target audience of the outreach program and develop a variety of education programs. Because museums is a public organization for overcoming cultural divide and enhancing communication, they should adopt virtual reality, which enables to extend the exhibition space and provide more opportunities of experiencing museums.

In this paper, we propose a user experience evaluation method for virtual reality living space contents and apply it to prototype simulations to measure user experience. The user evaluation method proposed in this paper is based on the existing user evaluation methodology, but it is established by changing the experience and evaluation factors to match the characteristics of the virtual reality living space. The generated virtual reality living space simulation is configured similar to real space and is placed real objects that the user actually uses in each space, so that users can feel reality. The subjects performed the tasks according to the given scenarios and then evaluated the simulation. As a result of the evaluation, the main goal of the simulation, the items that make the users feel realistic, were lower than our expectations. This means that future simulations need to be modified in a way that adds or expands elements that enhance the realism. In this way, the UX evaluation method proposed in this paper is expected to provide a more objective indicator to the content developer or designer in order to grasp the user's demand in the virtual reality living space.

Effective acquisition technology is an important factor determining the competitiveness of companies(Roxas et al., 2011). Since the importance of technology transfer has been increased, there has been a growing interest in company, government, university and research institutes (Bozeman et al., 2015). Despite the national efforts for activating technology transfer, a lot of technology is still in universities and R&D center(Ockwell et al., 2009). The barriers of technology transfer are a main reason to inhibit the technology transfer. In order to be lower technology transfer barriers, it is necessary to derive the technology transfer broker based on social network analysis. However, most studies related to technology transfer broker had been focused on empirical study(Bozeman et al., 2015). Therefore, it is needed to suggest the method to grasp the opportunity that can lead to technology innovation based on analyzing and visualizing the network of technology transfer. The method in this study provides the company with the connectable path, technology transfer broker and strategy to classify the technology actor within the network. Finally, the method is applied to Global MVP for verifying the feasibility of method.

IoT, Cloud, Bigdata, Mobile, AI, and 3D print, which are called as the main axis of the 4th Industrial Revolution, can be predicted to be changed when the technology is applied to the military. Especially, when I think about the purpose of battle, I think that IoT, Cloud, Bigdata, Mobile, and AI will play many role. Therefore, in this paper, Smart Military is defined as the future military that incorporates these five technologies, and the architecture is established and the appropriate information security model is studied. For this purpose, we studied the existing literature related to IoT, Cloud, Bigdata, Mobile, and AI and found common elements and presented the architecture accordingly. The proposed architecture is divided into strategic information security and tactical information security in the Smart Military environment. In the case of vulnerability, the information security is divided into strategic information security and tactical information security. If a protection system is established, it is expected that the optimum information protection can be constructed within an effective budget range.

Electronics cultural atlas is a typical methodology for the Digital Humanities. Since electronic cultural atlas could visualize various cultural information based on electronic atlas, that is an information visualization, users are able to make intuitive understanding on specific areas. Therefore, it can be effectively utilized in Area Studies and also helps users to understand comprehensively information on historic event in particular area with time information, because electronic cultural atlas represents a particular subject and time information with geographical information based on map. In other words, electronic cultural atlas may be considered as a specialized system of Digital Humanities for studying the Humanities and Area Studies. In this paper, we design and implement mediterranean electronic cultural atlas(MECA) for researchers of the Mediterranean area that has cultural hybridity formed the exchange of various aspects such as civilization, religion, race and language. In detail, a 'Digital Humanities Research Support System' is constructed to visualize research outcomes related to the Mediterranean area on Electronic Cultural Atlas and to use for researches.

A drastic development of modern cities and transportation means as part of a rapid industrialization and urbanization for the past half-century has consistently broaden the boundaries of urban dwellers while, at the same time, raising issues as to establishing relationships among them throughout the society following the materialization of modern urban planning. Within the framework of the postmodern concept, there have been consistent efforts to create a community space in appropriate size and, in particular, the concept of New Urbanism and Urban Village that emerged in mid 1800s along with the effort to build a community by building an ideal city provides an important meaning today when people are seeking to restore a healthy community. Against this backdrop, this study aims to explore the concept of community and to determine its optimal scope of implementation in the sense of healing environment under the premise that organizing a healthy city is based on building a solid urban community. The study findings and conclusions are as follows. First, a community is a subject of constant consideration in the process of historical development of the city and has required us to take a variety of strategic approaches and to determine the scope of implementation. Second, the activities of a healthy community have been conducted under various types of environments, including churches, commercial facilities, urban plazas, parks, and streets in various scales, reflecting their unique characteristics. Third, in the process of designing a healthy and sustainable city, determination of location carries significant implications along with building a community of appropriate size, which requires multidisciplinary considerations in addition to functional approaches. Fourth, the composition and design of a modern urban community need to seek practical ways of its implementation within the concept of healing environment.

Numerous products are on the market every day and consumption is becoming increasingly polarized. Some products have been introduced to the market for the first time and others are the existing products that have upgraded performance. For companies, new products must be released constantly to prevent losing existing customers and to increase loyalty. However, when companies released new product, they communicate consumer brand name and core benefits of the new product. Moreover, if a new product fails, the amount that the company has to pay is bound to grow. So companies often use brand extension strategies that use the names of famous brands that are already loved by their customers for new products. In this study, the effect of extension similarity, time of release, and message type on brand extension was investigated. Result shows that using abstract messages rather than specific messages is more effective when similarities with existing brands are poor. In particular, the closer the release period is, the more effective these effects are. However, in case of extending the brand with high similarity products, it is effective to focus on concrete messages when the release time is near, and to communicate abstract messages when the release time is long. This result suggests that companies should take into consideration not only the similarity of extension but also the timing and characteristics of messages when extending the brand.
