Digital games are generating various types of virtual landscape and the importance of virtual landscape has been arises. However, there has not been any research done how to design the virtual landscape. To establish virtual landscape design methodology, establishing the classification system and suggesting the representative type of virtual landscape is needed. With this research, I collected the classification standard and established five standards; story, cooperation, interaction level, dimensions and shape of the space. With that system, I classified digital game and could prove the effectiveness. Also by classifying cases through 20 years of timeline, I could come out with three representative types. This result will work as a reference to the future research; establishing design methodology on virtual landscape.

The fundamental characteristic that digital games have is interactivity. Digital games need to be systematically categorized so that similarities and differences can be identified and analyzed. Research in the past, however, has not established common criteria for categorizing digital games. This paper resolves that gap by identifying the fundamental characteristic of games, interactivity, and develops a conceptual framework consisting of primary and corresponding participants, and controlling characters. Through an empirical analysis on some digital games, this study shows that the framework could be comprehensive covering all of interactivity during the game. Future research topics are presented based on this framework.

Game have become a universal leisure culture for the world. However, not only did the development of the game industry have a positive impact on society, but it also brought about various social problems, such as adversely affecting youth and encouraging criminal acts. In order to minimize these effects, countries around the world operate a game rating system to provide games suitable for age and social values from children and young people to the general public. Since games are new digital content, the limitations of the rating system are still discussed in many studies. Therefore, this study investigates the current status of global game regulation by investigating game rating systems of various countries including Korea. In addition, by comparing and analyzing the game rating system in Korea and the system of other countries, this study suggests a direction to improve our system more appropriately. The results of this study will contribute to securing the effectiveness and standardization of domestic game classification system.

As game players have been more diverse and new features of digital games have been emerged in recent days, it is important to find out and understand how recent game players recognize and classify digital games. Thirty game players conducted Q-analysis of twenty-nine Q-statements extracted from previous studies on game typology. By using a QUANL program, three different types were revealed. For game classification, 'Physical Environment Centric Players' type highly values external game elements from the outside perspectives. 'Contents Centric Players' type considers internal game elements as the most important criterion. 'Emotional Experience Centric Players' type values his/her subjective feeling and thoughts. Based on this study, it is expected to make a contribution in developing a framework of game players with their perspectives on game classification.

Recently, additional value of games has been started to increase by revitalization of the game market. Especially, Because of the creation of the new trend that is item trade especially in online game, Item trade is as a easy and essential way as item trade can be created. However, compared to other planning factors, occupied weight of item is not as much as expected in exploiting a game. For this reason, we emphasize the importance of game item by giving the opportunity that increases the additional value with raising satisfaction of game through item-based study, plus suggesting new classification.

Interest in Augmented Reality (AR) game $Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ GO is getting heightened. However, based on its characteristic, various direct and indirect problems are highlighted, thus increasing concerns. Although the game is not formally released domestically, there are limits in national game classification to apply on such outdoor Augmented Reality game. This paper will examine the problematic cases regarding Pokemon GO and analyze internal and external game classification system to discuss safe gaming measures for domestic users. In result of examining cases, need for adding 'physical danger' in current game classification system for user's safety was shown. As the government's game regulation is being eased, appearance of a variety of games using Augmented Reality technology in near future is predicable. Therefore it is important to prepare improvement of game classification system as a pre-safety measure, and it is expected to bring positive effect on game usage and industrial growth through safe game usage.

컴퓨터 기술이 발전함에 따라 디지털 게임 속 가상경관은 보다 정교해지고 있으며, 설계 및 구현 과정에서 고려를 요구하는 요소들이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 여태 가상경관 설계를 위한 정형화된 설계 방법론도 전무한 관계로, 디자이너들은 비효율적인 설계 과정을 거치며 동시에 질적으로도 만족스럽지 못한 결과물을 구축하고 있다. Ian McHarg의 도면 중첩법은 레이어 단위로 설계 고려요소를 정리하여 설계를 진행하기에, 설계에 고려할 요소들을 체계적으로 종합하는 디자인의 진행이 가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도면 중첩법을 활용한 가상경관 설계 방법론을 구축하였다. 이를 위해서 우선 가상경관의 공간적 특수성에 따라 분류를 진행하는 분류 방법론을 문헌 조사를 통해 파악하여, 이들을 각각의 레이어로 조직하였다. 그리고 설계 영역으로서의 가상경관과 실공간의 차이점을 파악하여 이들을 기반으로 한 가상경관 설계 방법론을 구축하였다. 마지막으로 프로토콜 분석방법론과 공간 구성요소의 비교분석을 통하여 본 연구에서 구축한 설계 방법론의 유효성을 검증하였다. 검증 결과, 본 설계 방법론은 디자이너들의 작업 시간을 22% 이상 줄일 수 있었으며, 동시에 작품의 질을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 향후 본 설계 방법론은 디지털 게임을 비롯한 가상경관 설계 및 구현의 영역에서 활발한 활용을 기대할 수 있을 수 있으며, 나아가 가상경관을 조경 설계의 한 영역으로써 확장이 가능할 것임을 시사한다.
