The two most notable civilian organizations active in the Korean library area are 'the National Union for Revival of School Libraries' and 'the Citizen Action for Reading Culture'.

This study discusses on the influential factors of satisfaction in communication by focusing on the political communication phenomenon that is revealed in our society. The acts of political communication and its communication satisfaction are examined by exploring individuals' political inclination and their media usage which are the main influential factors of political communication. An interview survey was conducted on a thousand adults over the age of nineteen who are residing in sixteen cities and provinces nationwide. As a result, a high rate of online media usage was observed among people with progressive political inclination. It showed that the political communication acts of 'writing/communicating' which indicates ons actively posting their personal opinions, has a positive influence on communication satisfaction. On the other hand, the usage of offline media was dominant over people with conservative and neutral political inclination. A passive act of 'reading/watching,' which is to observe other people's opinions, was shown by most of the interviewees. Therefore, it was able to discuss that in order for a harmonious flow of political communication among our society, the understanding of citizens' political characteristic must be preceded and the differentiated political communication using media must be raised accordingly.

The purpose of this study is to find methods for building the community in poor residential environments. We analyze the public art project, "The Rose of Sharon Blooms," in Daejeon. To understand the project we interviewed artists, curators, local residents, and visitors, about three aspects of public art: visuality, speciality, and communication with citizens. These stakeholder interviews yielded valuable knowledge and insights: First, artworks created from the residents' recycled junk effectively harmonizes and unifies the citizens and their environment. Second, managing a gallery in the neighborhood symbolically values and explicates the public art project and thus enhanced the local identity. Third, public workshops in the neighborhood provide a venue for local citizens to communicate with visitors about the public arts, which eventually led to the welcoming atmosphere of the community. However, we found relatively little awareness of the need for partnership aspects among our interviewees, which suggests the importance of ongoing cooperation with other arts institutions and researchers to build vital cultural linkages and introduce varied art forms.

Interactivity was assessed by analyzing readers' comments on the articles of reporter blogs. for citizen journalism and for professional one were chosen in order to minimize any discrepancies caused by ideological differences. As a result of the content analyses, citizen reporter blogs were found to deliver soft news more frequently than those of , whereas the former had stronger tendency to maintain the critical relationship with the government than the latter. As for the interactivity function, although the number of comments uploaded to citizen reporter blogs was higher than that of professional reporter blogs, the latter was found to meet the standards of communicative interaction more adequately than the former.

Urbanization and industrialization have led to a severe deterioration in urban air qualities. As an air pollution is closely associated with human health, citizen has a growing concern about the air quality policy to improve their residential environment. Due to the recently advance in web- and mobile computing technologies, citizens can easily access various air quality information and public authorities utilize the social media service to communicate citizens with air quality issues. Also citizens' participation and role has been increased to improve urban air qualities. Thus, to meet the technical and societal changes, a GIS-based air quality information system is developed based upon the Ubiquitous Public Access (UPA) model in ISO19154. The proposed system employs the context information model to provide air quality information depending on citizens' health conditions and locations. Also, citizens can present their perceptions of an air quality at their current location Public authorities can thus utilize the citizens' perceptions when establishing new air quality policies.

The study seeks to establish a theoretical basis for extending the accessibility and availability of records to the public area. For the purpose, the study links the target and scope of archival literacy with official document literacy and proves the relationship between the elements of archival literacy and official public literacy. The literature reviews and survey comparing public officers and undergraduates are conducted. The results of the survey are as follow; public officers with official document literacy showed higher the degree of actual use and awareness than undergraduates; awareness was higher than the degree of actual use in all questions and factors; all correlations showed a positive correlation. In the public officers group, the correlation between 'communication as public officers' and 'analytical concepts' (0.626) was the highest, In the undergraduates group, the correlation between 'communication as the public' and 'analytical concepts' (0.561) was the highest, As a whole, the respondents show the highest correlation between 'communication as the public' and 'analytical concepts' (0.563); As a result, the group with official document literacy is more aware of the homogeneity between official document literacy and archival literacy.

The Social Conflict Index in Korea is considerably high. In the situation where both parties' interests conflict each other, Korean society has shown immature democracy, which couldn't peacefully resolve the conflict because of the lack of tolerance against the counterparty's position. In terms of upbringing educated citizens, who could democratically communicate with others and approach problems, communication skill training is very important, reducing social costs by extreme conflict. Thus, this paper studied the necessity of communication skills training and its sociopolitical implication through case studies about "Communication and Negotiation" class, which is proceeded under university liberal education. Under current university curriculums, increased liberal education programs, related with speaking, focus on cultivating logical and critical thinking in the main. Based on these thinking skills, "Communication and Negotiation" has important implication in terms of cultivating mindset which resolves conflicts and considers other's position by collaborative and emotional perspectives. In terms of cultivating practical communication skills, this "Communication and Negotiation" class requires the change of teaching skills with various training programs, under students' active participation and feedback in the class exercise for resolving problems. Ultimately, through "Communication and Negotiation" class, and as members of society, students could learn matured citizenship and sense of responsibility by respecting others' position and reasonably resolving conflicts.

최근 들어 광우병 소고기, 멜라민분유, 식품첨가물 등과 관련한 여러 사건들이 발생하여 대중들에게 식품선택에 있어서 공포와 혼란을 가져왔다. 대기, 수질, 토양, 주거, 식품 등의 환경 영역은 21세기를 살고 있는 우리들에게는 과거 어느 때보다도 더욱 큰 관심을 유발할 뿐만 아니라 실제 인류의 생존에도 중요한 문제가 되고 있다. 올 한해 발생한 여러 환경문제 중 식품환경만큼 대중들의 관심을 촉발한 때는 없었을 정도로 많은 사건들의 연속이었다. 예를 들면, 위의 식품관련 사건 외에도 태안반도의 허베이스피릿호 기름유출사건, 지하철 역사 내의 석면문제, 포장용기 등에서 방출되는 환경호르몬, 휴대폰의 전자파 문제 등과 같은 문제들은 이 땅에 살고 있는 어느 누구도 자유로울 수가 없다. 그러나 사건이 발생할 때마다 정부당국, 기업, 시민단체, 학자 등의 이해당사자들의 의견은 다양한 정보를 넘어 상반되는 입장으로 대중들을 더욱 혼란케 하였다. 본 기고에서는 환경문제를 중심으로 하여 대중들에게 혼란을 유발하는 여러 위해(risk)를 접하면서 대중과 소통하기 위한 원칙들을 제시하고자 한다.

과학기술,사회(STS, Science and Technology in Society)란 과학과 기술을 역사적이고 사회학적인 시각으로 바라보자는 관점을 뜻한다. 이는 시민들이 이런 시각을 가져야 과학기술과 관련된 사회 쟁점에 대한 올바른 판단이 가능하다는 의미이다. 이를 위해 국가 교육과정체제 이후의 평생교육으로써 성인을 대상으로 하는 과학문화 소통 프로그램이 필요하다. 본 논문은 국내와 해외의 성인 대상의 과학 문화 프로그램을 분석하여 올바른 과학문화 소통을 위한 프로그램 과정은 어떤 모습으로 설계되어야 하는지를 제안한다. 제주대학교 과학기술사회연구센터(STS연구센터)에서 연구하고 있는 제주 특성을 활용한 과학기술문화교육 프로그램을 소개하고, 향후 정보과학 기반의 연구방향도 소개하고자 한다.
