This study aims to test the spatial mismatch hypothesis by exploring the relationship between income and commuting time in Seoul, Korea. For this purpose, we analyze the commuting times of individuals who commute to Seoul, using the data for the metropolitan household survey. We employed a hierarchial linear model(HLM) to capture the effects of both individual attributes and regional attributes, and their interactions. The results show that the commuting time decreases with household income controlling for the regional attributes, and the effect of income increases with the housing price of the location of a commuter's firm. This implies that the spatial mismatch holds for Seoul as follows: Lower personal income and housing affordablility extend individuals' commuting times, and the destinations' characteristics such as housing type and land use also have impacts on commuting time. These results have some policy implications for achieving social equity in terms of spatial structure of the city.

This study investigated how online information affected consumers' purchases at social commerce websites. In the online purchase process, consumers use two types of online information: user generated content(UGC) and vendor generated content(VGC). These information types may influence consumers'purchase intention differently because each information builds entity trust and content trust, which play mediation roles between online information and purchase intention. According to the analysis results, general transactional information and safe transaction information of VGC and reputation information of UGC significantly affected entity trust. But content trust was affected only from general transactional information of VGC. And entity trust significantly affected content trust as well as purchase intention. These findings imply that social commerce vendors should focus mainly on entity trust for enhancing consumers' purchase intention. To achieve this objective, in the short term perspective, they should endeavor how to enhance general transaction information and safe transaction information qualities because these information types are easily controlled and improved by vendors. In the long term perspective, they should focus on reputation formation because reputation takes long time.

The informationization policies undertaken in concentration only on the national economic growth invited the unbalance between technology and social culture, displayed the serious reverse function phenomena, and these problems threatened the personal identity of individual in the cyber space. In this study, we developed an index model on the information and communication ethics where the national level of information and communication ethics can be examined. For this purpose, based on diverse previous research data, the areas of the ethical indicators in information and communication has been developed through the brain storming of the research staff. Through the consultation with experts, the feasibility and representation as index was heightened, and the weighted values to the each index was provided by the AHP method. The outcome of questionnaires from the information users and information providers (great portals) was also reflected in simple average method into the calculation of the weighted value to the each index element.

This study analyzes important urban characteristics according to location of large-scaled professional sports facilities based on a binary logistic regression model and t-test. For the empirical analysis, this study uses 24 urban characteristics within social, economic, cultural, traffic, and spatial categories in 228 cities. The results show that economic condition can be the main decision factor for the differential feature of the location as well as social and traffic conditions. Concretely, more the number of young adults and middle-aged people who have considerable purchasing power, and available land are more the beneficial to the presence of the sports facilities. Recently local governments focus on location of the facilities due to their impacts on regional economics as well as residents' quality of life. In this point of vies, this study gives good understanding why it is a great option for location of the facilities.

The purpose of this study is to estimate convergence level of digital device and service and analyze group difference of consumption behavior and problem according to digital convergence level. The research method was survey with digital business expert and 343 samples. ANOVA research method was applied. The results of research are as follows. First, the study suggests that with a self-directed consuming attitude associated with both online and offline, there are the possibility to spread social problem which has unclear boundary, the possibility of intrusion into privacy through the network flow, and the matter of the credibility of information in convergence media. Second, since digital devices are important to connect consumers to the network, consumers have anxious dependence on the devices, which causes the fatigue of information to increase rapidly.

Environmental impact is getting more attention in many feasibility studies for railroad-related projects and research items. For sustainable growth and green transportation, the benefits typically used for feasibility studies in railway-related projects, are composed mostly of economic criterions which is not considering growing attention on changing paradigm. Based on the analysis of current methodologies, improvements in estimating environmental impact especially on noise and pollution are suggested. Active steering bogie has been proposed to satisfy stabilizing and steering performance of railroad. This paper describes the feasibility study of the active steering bogie for a urban railway vehicle based on environment-related criteria.

This paper aims to examine the ways in which the Singaporean government has promoted the "global city" imaging strategy as a means for marketing Singapore. Since the 1990s, Singapore has pursued a place-marketing strategy that aims at imaging itself as a "creative", "culturally vibrant" and "cosmopolitan" global city by utilizing various cultural, tourist and spatial policy measures. It argues that the Singaporean government has promoted this particular imaging strategy under a broader economic resoucturing program, aiming at transforming the Singapore's economy into a "knowledge-driven" one, under which the attraction of international knowledge workers is seen as crucial for the competitiveness and innovation. This paper also discusses the limitations of this strategy, focusing on growing tensions between the global and the local in the Singaporean society and the ways in which the authoritarian and top-down nature of governance have restricted the genuine development of the "culturally vibrant" environment in Singapore.

This study investigated operation plan for the Cyber Bridge Program based on the survey from teachers of science high schools. Teachers were found to be thinking it positive that cyber programs can be operated free from the time and spatial restrictions. They thought that teacher interactions are hard to occur and teachers' role in learning is limited as well. Also, the geographical, physical, and socio cultural minorities might have benefits from cyber programs either as regular programs or the before entrance programs. Therefore, the detailed plans are needed. Most of all, since the educational contents are the key for the programs, we suggested some contents categories and developmental criteria. As a result, the developments of high quality contents and financial supports for the successful Cyber Bridge Program are essential.

최근 우리나라는 기후변화와 이상기후 현상 등의 영향으로 홍수에 대한 위험이 커지고 있다. 홍수에 의해 발생하는 인명 및 재산피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 구조적 및 비구조적 대책 등을 통한 치수정책 수립이 필요하며, 대표적인 비구조적 대책으로는 홍수위험지도(flood hazard map) 제작 등이 있다. 홍수위험지도는 홍수시 침수범위, 침수심 등의 정보를 지도상에 표시하고 있으므로 홍수피해가 발생가능한 공간적 범위를 나타내는 것이다. 홍수위험지도는 침수정보 뿐만 아니라 대피로, 대피처 등 홍수시 피난정보도 함께 나타낼 수 있으므로 홍수발생시 인명 피해를 최소화하기 위하여 활용될 수 있다. 또한 홍수피해 예상범위를 미리 추정할 수 있으므로 피해가능 지역의 특성을 고려하여 구조적 치수계획 수립의 적절한 기준을 제시할 수 있다. 즉, 침수 가능지구 내의 사회적, 경제적, 문화적 중요도를 평가함으로써 지역 특성을 고려한 선택적 홍수방어에 활용될 수 있는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 중요도 중 홍수피해 예상인구에 대한 현실적인 계산 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 홍수가 발생하여 침수가 예상되는 지역에서 사람이 실제 거주하는 면적을 고려하는 방법은 토지등기부의 지목을 활용하는 것이다. 토지지목은 토지의 종류를 사용목적에 따라 구분한 명칭이며,"측량, 수로조사 및 지적에 관한 법률" 제67조에서 전 답 과수원 목장용지 임야 광천지 염전 대(垈) 공장용지 학교용지 주차장 주유소용지 창고용지 도로 철도용지 제방(堤防) 하천 구거(溝渠) 유지(溜池) 양어장 수도용지 공원 체육용지 유원지 종교용지 사적지 묘지 잡종지 등 28가지 항목으로 구분된다. 여기서 대(垈) 지목은 영구적 건축물 중 주거 사무실 등의 부지를 의미하므로 상주인구가 거주하는 지역으로 가정할 수 있다. 침수가 예상되는 지역에서 대(垈) 지목의 면적을 고려하여 계산된 인구수와 단순 면적비로 계산된 인구수를 비교한 결과, 도시화의 비율이 높은 지역일수록 단순 면적비에 비해 인구수가 높게 계산되었고, 농경지 및 산지가 발달된 지역일수록 단순 면적비에 비해 인구수가 낮게 계산되었다. 따라서 침수가 예상되는 지역의 인구수를 예측할 경우 토지지목 중 대(垈) 지목의 면적을 고려하여 계산하는 것이 보다 합리적인 홍수피해 예상인구를 계산하는 방법으로 판단된다.
