This study focuses on the emergence of collective intelligence and its impact on the democracy in the information era. Scholars have posed very different-optimistic and pessimistic-views on the possibility of collective knowledge produced by the public. Focusing on the cases of a free online encylopedia known as wikipedia and 2008 Candlelight Demonstration against the imports of US beef in Korea, this paper analyzes the mechanism of collective intelligence and its political implications on the democracy. Specifically, this article approaches changes in new knowledge paradigm with two different variables: the degree of connectivity and the quality of deliberation. Applying two different sets of variables helps us to distinguish the possibilities of collective intelligence and anti-intelligence, which would suggest social and political implications for the democracy in a country. This study finds a critical difference in terms of the quality of deliberation, measured by the indicators such as diversity, independence, and integration mechanism for online deliberation.

Near-Field Communication(NFC) is a useful technology that is receiving worldwide attention. NFC mobile payment systems are being developed by many technology companies including financial institutions especially for the public transportation. In this research we find several factors for the intention to adopt NFC payment system. We surveyed 355 respondents who live in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam which became more interested by Korean as a post China country to test our research hypothesis. Using Technology Acceptance Model(TAM) we find that the factors of Social influence, Trust, Security, and Users' Convenience play the significant role to the factor of Intention to Use of NFC payment system.

기후변화는 기상학적으로 강우량의 변동성을 증가시키는 특징이 있다. 이로 인해 2000년대 이후 전 세계적으로 집중호우와 가뭄의 발생횟수 및 피해규모가 크게 증가하고 있다. 2017년 우리나라에서는 인천광역시, 청주시, 부산광역시 등 도시지역에서 집중호우에 의한 피해가 매우 크게 발생하였다. 도시지역은 지역 내 불투수면적이 높아 호우 발생 시 농촌지역, 산림지역에 비하여 유출이 매우 크게 나타나는 특징이 있으며 인구와 자산, 산업체의 밀도가 높아 같은 크기의 호우에 대하여 타 지역에 비해 매우 큰 피해가 발생한다. 이러한 호우피해 저감을 위한 방안으로는 각 지역특성에 맞는 홍수예보방안이 필요하다. 하지만 국내의 홍수예보는 국가하천을 중심으로 하여 전국 53개 주요지점에서 수위를 예보하는 방식으로 시행되고 있어 홍수범람 피해가 빈번한 도심지와 시민들의 이용도가 높은 친수지구에 대한 홍수예보는 미흡한 실정이다. 국외의 경우에는 도시홍수 피해를 저감시키기 위하여 강우량과 강우량 별 발생확률, 예측 피해 규모, 피해 현상 등을 활용한 영향예보 방안을 수립하기 위한 다수의 연구가 진행되고 있으며 영국의 경우 영향예보를 활용하여 홍수예보를 시행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 호우에 의한 도시지역의 피해를 저감시키기 위하여 과거의 홍수 피해사례를 기반으로 피해 당시의 강우량, 피해액의 상관성을 바탕으로 강우량에 따른 피해 규모의 예보방안을 모색하고자하였다. 이를 위해 재해연보를 기준으로 피해 발생일자, 피해액 등 피해 관련 자료와 피해 발생 당시의 강우자료를 수집하였으며 수집한 자료를 바탕으로 강우량에 따른 피해규모를 선정하여 홍수예보 단계를 4단계로 구분한 홍수위험 판단기준을 작성하였다. 향후 본 연구의 홍수위험 판단기준 수립 방안에 피해 발생 당시의 현상자료 및 정확도 높은 강우 예측 자료를 결합한다면 효율적인 호우피해 저감을 위한 홍수예보 방안을 마련할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Paper currency is a cultural symbol sign representing identity of a nation as well as a tool of barter system and a measure of value. The purpose of this study is to analyze the design characteristics shown in the pattern of the paper currencies of advanced countries and Korea and to make comparative analysis of the image type of each nation as a cultural code. The results show that 1) the usability of paper currency design was evaluated by denominations, size type, color, braille system and the paper currencies of Switzerland and EU were judged superior to those of the other counties. 2) The national image type represented paper currencies was classified as 'state oriented type' and 'culture & art oriented type'. The countries of Korea, U.S.A, Japan etc. have on the paper currencies the ruling class who contributed to organizing the national system foundation emphasizing their nationalism. In the case of European countries, their paper currencies reveal a variety of citizen who have contributed to art, science, music, architecture without distinction of gender and this fact puts an emphasis on egalitarianism and equality of both senders and importance or cultural art. 3) Paper currency design of Switzerland, Netherlands, France, U.K. was visualized as an art work with utilization of work-type subject, brilliant color, CG technique, unique layout etc. This study provides us with a valuable opportunity to examine the present state of the Korean paper currencies design in Comparison With those of the world's advanced countries. It is expected that this study could be a resource material for new paper currency design and emphasize the importance of the paper currencies representing a national image as a cultural design.

Recently, the public's interest in quality of life and good design has increased, and the opportunities for their participation in space planning and the design process are expanding. However, the public still lacks understanding of the role(and importance) of space and environment and is not experienced in expressing their opinion on improving the urban environment. At this point, 'Built Environment Education for Kids' will be the key to understanding space and environment as future citizens and to developing the ability of problem-solving and expressing their opinions. This study aims to change the awareness of the public as well as experts, and to make a better urban space through comparison and analysis of domestic and foreign 'Built Environment Education.' In 27 countries around the world(more than 110 institutions), 'Built Environment Education' from childhood is being implemented. Such movements aim to make people participate in the space design and decision-making process by understanding a fundamental element of the built environment and space perception. In this study, the United States, Britain, Finland, Japan and South Korea's 'Built Environment Education' are discussed Above all, the definition, range and target of 'Built Environment Education' are discussed For each case, the purpose and effect, laws and educational processes, systems and roles, and examples of programs are analyzed. Through reviewing each attribute and their implications, a conclusion is drawn on the aspects we have to consider in laying the foundation for implementing the 'Built Environment Education' in Korea, such as consideration of the locality, organizing systematic networks and composing a pool of experts, building proper institutions, and establishing the role of the government. This case study of 'Built Environment Education' can help increase the awareness of the public and build their strength in establishing a better future space. Through the analysis of the purpose, laws, systems, and contents, this case study is expected to provide and build the foundation for an educational system and develop an appropriate program that best suits our society.
