In this study, we use the data collected from Twitter, as an SNS(Social Networking Service), for service innovation. This data was collected and processed by Flume. The data set in May 2016 was 4,766 and 15,543 from company S and company X, respectively. We were able to figure out the emotional atmosphere of the two companies through the sentiment analysis(SA) and to find out about the vertical relationship through the bibliometric analysis(BA). Furthermore, we were able to grasp the horizontal relationship through the social network analysis(SNA). It was concluded that SNS was worth while to derive an innovative item.

The purpose of this study is to provide clues to social welfare policy making by revealing discourse on social intervention and response based on big data on elderly living alone in the COVID-19 situation. Keyword analysis, network analysis, and topic analysis were utilized to explore the ways in which news media have portrayed challenges facing older individuals and the ways in which the central and local government as well as private organization have responded to them. Results are as follows. First, networks(degree, closeness, betweenness) were formed around region, delivery, society, support, and vulnerability, suggesting an increased demand for economic assistance and social support as well as stronger service delivery systems. Second, key topics derived included "establishing public delivery systems", "establishing local networks", "Managing care gap", "Establishing a private economic support system", and "Establishing service organization system". Based on the research results, discourse on the organic role of government, communities and the private sector has been presented, suggesting policy and practical implications by proposing a discussion on how to intervene for elderly living alone in disaster situations such as COVID-19.

The purpose of this study is to conceptually define "spatial inclusivity" and empirically examine the impact of disability severity and spatial inclusivity on social participation among individuals experiencing physical discomfort. The social and spatial environment of the residential area is crucial for individuals with disabilities who face limited activity range and complex barriers due to physical constraints. In this study, spatial inclusivity from the perspective of people with disabilities is defined as establishment of equal relationships with non-disabled individuals within the local community, as well as the availability of basic facilities and services in a safe urban space that allows for access and utilization. This concept consists of three dimensions: individual networks, social environment, and physical environment. The physical environment encompasses safety levels, natural environment, living environment, public transportation conditions, medical services in residential areas. We used the 2019 Community Health Survey to examine the relationship between disability severity, spatial inclusivity, and social participation using a two level regression model. The findings are as follows: Firstly, personal relationships at the individual level and the physical environment at the local level have a positive impact on social participation. Secondly, when identifying dividing the physical environment into five sub-factors, no significant influence of individual factors is found. Thirdly, trustworthy and friendly social environment at the local level has a negative impact on social participation. These results provide empirical evidence that spatial inclusivity has an effect on the social participation of individuals with disabilities and suggest implications for urban planning to create and enhance conditions for the social participation of individuals with disabilities.

The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of Korean older adults' use of Social Network Service (SNS) and text messages with frequency of contact with 1) non-coresident adult children, 2) siblings and relatives, or 3) friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. Data were drawn from the 2017 Survey of Living Conditions and Welfare Needs of Korean Older Persons 65+ (N=8,392), and older adults were categorized into 4 groups depending on their familiarity with use of SNS and text messages. Ordinary Least Squares regression models were estimated for analyses. Results revealed that older users of both types of communication media reported frequent exchanges of calls, text messages, etc. with both family and friends. However, using SNS and text messages was consistently related to more face-to-face contact with non-family members. To conclude, older adults' familiarity with communication media could be key to exchanges of emotional and instrumental support with informal social network members and quality of life in the community. Overall, our results highlight the importance of information communication education targeting older adults for continued involvement with their informal social network members.

This study attempts to make an empirical analysis on how mobile devices affect users in building their social relationship and if their influences are negative or positive. The purpose of this research is to explain the results by considering all the possibilities and exploring everyday lives of using mobile devices. We used the survey data from the "Research on Mobile Environment Awareness" conducted by Gyeonggi Research Institute(GRI). The main question was about the use of mobile devices and social network services (SNS) and users' opinions on using the devices. All of the 31 municipalities in Gyeonggi Province were included as a spatial range, and the final validity sample was 1,004 residents. The extent of the relationship with people is selected as a dependent variable through the multinomial logistic model and the decision tree model. As a result of the multinomial logistic analysis on the questionnaire, the characteristics of the respondents with some changes in the scope of the human relationship were found to have a significant (+) effect on conversation with family, SNS usage, residence in the rural area but not urban area, and device usage for obtaining news. The largest variable affecting the extent of relationship was the SNS usage. As the amount of SNS usage increases, the extent of the relationship also changes a lot.

The purpose of the study was to conduct an empirical study on the scope and level of social exclusion experienced by persons with psychosocial disabilities. The Wave 6 data of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled were used to investigate the current status of social exclusion in life areas including income, education, work, housing, health, social network, social participation, and discrimination (N=4,161). A series of logistic regressions were executed, with the psychosocial disability(PD) group being the reference; the reverse odds rations of different disability groups were compared against the PD reference group (OR=1). The results showed that compared with all others, the PD group was about 2 to 11 times more likely to have risks in income, work, and housing; and that compared to other groups except for the autism/developmental disability group, they were about 6 to 10 times more likely to have risks in social network, social participation and discrimination. In conclusion, the authors urged the need for legal mandates to have community based mental health services and welfare services for the disabled more available to the PD groups and the necessity to eliminate various discriminatory legislations that are violating human and social rights of the persons with PDs.

대한민국의 의료보험은 크게 국가에서 운영하는 국민건강보험과 국민이 선택적으로 가입하는 민간의료보험으로 나눌 수 있다. 국민건강보험과는 달리 민간의료보험 청구와 정산은 각 보험사별로 이루어지고, 또한 그 절차도 각자 독자적인 방법과 순서를 따라 진행되어 보험가입자의 불편 해소 및 업무의 효과적 추진을 위한 방안이 모색되어왔다. 이에 민간의료보헙협의체(KPPO)에서는 2009년부터 HNIP의 바로One 서비스를 통하여 병원, 보험회사, 보험가입자를 연계하는 보험 청구 및 지원서비스를 개발하여 운영하고 있다. 의료기관-보험사-보험가입자를 연계하는 전략적 협력 융합 서비스 구축을 토대로, 기존에 서로 연계되지 않고 오프라인으로 진행되던 보험금 청구 프로세스를 효과적이고 체계적인 관계로 발전시켰다. 그리고, 다자간의 새로운 정보 유통망의 구축 및 융합 서비스를 통하여 업무의 표준화, 다자간의 관련 업무 프로세스의 효율화를 도모하였다. 이러한 융합서비스를 통하여 규모의 경제, 고객의 편의 및 만족 증대, 기업의 사회적 책임 달성, 신뢰의 구축 등 융합서비스 구축의 다양한 시너지효과를 기대한다.

The aim of this study is to classify the social network types among elderly people with dementia, and to examine the relationship of network type to quality of life. This is to identify influence of social network on quality of life of elderly people with dementia. And the study seeks to identify the differences of quality of life among types of social network. The data of 222 elderly people used in this study were collected from the health center and elderly people with dementia living in the community. The interview was conducted from July 17 to August 31 in 2012 using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, one way ANOVA, multiple regression analysis and also cluster analysis with the SPSS 18.0 program were used to analyze the data. As a results, three network types were classified.:(1) inactive isolated, (2) active independent (3) inactive dependent networks. Respondents in the different network type are found to have different degrees of quality of life. Respondents inactive independent network is reported to have the highest quality of life, while those with inactive isolated network are the lowest. The results of the study suggest that the classification of network types allows consideration of the interpersonal environments of elderly people with dementia. The relative effects on quality of life for elderly people with dementia, evident in the current analysis, are the case in point. Therefore Social service programs should focus on different groups based on social network type.
