With the popularization of smartphones, the mobile demand for information from libraries is increasing and mobile library service will soon be quired. This study analyzed the mobile library services for the mobile webs established by 4 university libraries in Korea and 56 belonging to ARL in the United States. It examined 42 mobile applications developed by universities and university libraries in Korea, and 18 mobile applications developed by the universities and university libraries belonging to ARL in the United States. Mobile accessibility was assessed by conducting mobileOK test for the mobile websites of the same libraries. The study shows that university libraries in Korea should establish mobile websites focusing on key contents which reflect the demand for mobile information of users, and secure mobile web accessibility which the users could conveniently use.

The purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting the wage of home care workers in Incheon. For this study, 306 home care workers in Incheon were analyzed. Personal factors, work environmental factors, and regional factors were entered in the analytic model. Results showed that education level, license, employment status, work hours, and service types were associated with the wage of home care workers. Also, factors related to the supply and demand of long-term care (i.e., the number of long-term care facilities per 100 care workers, the number of long-term care facilities per 100 benefit recipients, the number of care workers per benefit recipients) were positively associated with the wage. Policy implications are discussed.

A webzine issued by a public institution not only plays a role in communication between members of the institution and its users, but is itself a meaningful record. In addition, as one of the management techniques of the archives, there is a growing awareness that active marketing is needed to promote the service and allow potential users to visit the archives. Therefore, efforts should be made to increase user satisfaction by identifying user needs, composing content reflecting them, and selecting user-centered interfaces appropriately. The purpose of this study is to design 'On-Gi', a newsletter of the Presidential Archives, as a user-participating smart platform in a smart device environment. As a research method, we first looked at the current status of webzine publication by relevant domestic institutions. Next, we compared and analyzed the issue of 'On-Gi' provided by the Presidential Archives and major contents. Based on this, a design model of the webzine for the marketing of the Presidential Archives was proposed. This can be used as a key marketing strategy for the Presidential Archives in the new user environment of technological innovation of smart devices.

It is over 12 years since the launch of Korea Train eXpress (KTX) services. Demand for the KTX has been on the increase continuously but few studies have been produced related to this phenomenon. KTX passenger demand has been constantly increasing due to influencing factors such as the expansion of network, rise of oil prices, etc. In this study, our main focus is to verify that there are other types of elements that are causing an increase in KTX demand; our approach looks at changes in social and psychological aspect that have occurred due to the reduction of travel time and cost, as well as the imposition of a five-day workweek. In other words, we considered diffusion theory in the marketing area, which affects product selection and purchasing attitudes, as a key factor that is causing passenger demand to increase. That is to say that it is hypothesized that the demand for travel on the KTX has increased due to the train's utility, which is spread by the diffusion effect Therefore, the Bass diffusion model was applied to explain the dramatic increase in KTX passenger demand. Based on this foundation, it was also discussed how certain marketing strategies that incorporate the diffusion effect should be considered variously for sustainable management of rail transportation, while considering a steady passenger demand.

The objective of VMS(Variable Message Sign) is to provide the traffic information downstream to drivers upstream so that they can choose their routes or expect the travel time to arrive the destination. Because there is not enough time and space to show the message, VMS message should be selected carefully. However, the message of VMS has been simply selected among the pre-designed message sets based on the priority rule of events. If the traffic demand between origin and destination is identified along the freeway, message can be selected to provide the information of a route that more drivers will use. In this study, a time sliced OD(Origin/Destination) estimation method will be developed using the detector information of the on-ramp, exit ramp, and the main lanes. And the strategy of a priority rule of message was planned.

The ridership and transit systems are influenced by the expansion of metro-rail in Seoul metropolitan area. However, it has been difficult to measure its precise quantitative influences. Also effective policy implementations have been limited due to the lack of practical evidences. Thus an empirical analysis for an operating metro-rail is essentially required. In this regard, this study examines the impact of the Jungang line on transportation system, whose metro-rail block has been recently started new service. The main interest of this study is to find out the changes of ridership and to forecast the ridership changes by the metro-rail service. The results indicate that the effect on auto users is less than that of bus users. The auto demand is decreased by 33.3% and the bus demand by 66.6%. Additionally, its influence on Gyeonggi-do bus was greater compared with that on the Seoul bus. From questionnaire survey, this results could be confirmed. To sum up, the metro-rail gives less influences on auto users, while it gives greater influences on bus users.

After implementing "Semi-public management system of intra-city bus", the burden of financial aid for unprofitable routes is on the increase in Busan metro city. It becomes a heavy burden on the local finance, which needs to be resolved for improving the intra-bus system. The rainfall is one of the factors influencing the demands for intra-bus in urban transportation. Motivated by this fact, this study investigates the impact of rainfall on the intra-city bus demand. Actual bus users are surveyed on their patterns and recognition of using the bus according to the amount of rainfall. A rainfall forecast model using ordered probit model is presented, and the elasticity of the intra-city bus utilization to the amount of rainfall is also analyzed. The resulting findings could be applied to promote the use of intra-city buses and also be utilized as basic data for other studies to improve the intra-city bus system.

환경개선용수의 비용 부담방법과 부담주체를 결정하는 것은 환경개선용수의 효율적 이용과 관리의 핵심적인 요소이다. 환경개선용수의 비용부담 방법은 공공부담, 수익자부담 및 원인자부담이 있다. 그런데, 비용부담 방법은 환경개선용수의 공급에 대한 댓가를 어떠한 형태로 지불받을 것인가? 환경개선용수의 수익자는 누구인가? 그리고 환경개선용수를 어떤 시각에서 바라 볼 것인지에 따라 달라지게 된다. 즉, 환경개선용수가 순수한 공공재로서 당연히 국가가 제공하여야 하는 기본 서비스인지 아니면 일반 재화나 서비스와 같이 수익자 부담원칙에 의거 수요자가 부담해야 하는지, 또는 공공재와 사적재의 양면성을 고려해 공공부담과 수익자부담을 같이 고려하는 형태가 바람직한 지에 대한 검토를 필요로 한다. 아울러, 환경개선용수의 수익자를 설정하는 문제에 있어서는 수요자가 특정한 목적을 위해 물을 사용하는 특정 사업자인지, 아니면 공익적인 측면에서 불특정 다수를 대신하여 환경개선용수를 수요하는 수요자인지에 따라 수익자가 달라지기 때문에 이에 대한 구분도 필요하다. 환경개선용수의 부담방법을 정할 때 수원(水源)을 기준으로 판단하여야 한다. 환경개선용수의 수원으로는 다목적댐, 하수처리장, 빗물, 농업용 저수지, 지하수 및 기타 하천수로 구분할 수 있다. 아울러 비용부담 범위가 물에 대한 부담에 한정하는지 아니면 환경개선용수를 수익지까지 공급하기 위한 공급시설에 대한 부담인지도 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 환경개선용수는 생활 공업용수 등과 같이 하천수를 특정 용도에 사용하는 것이기 때문에 특정 이용자가 국가에 하천수 사용허가를 얻어 이용하는 것으로 수익자가 비용을 부담하는 것을 원칙으로 하는 것이 가장 바람직하다. 왜냐하면 환경개선용수의 확보가 하천관리청의 의무가 되는 경우에는 하천의 물이 공유재산화 됨으로써 나타나는 '공유재산의 비극'(Tragedy of the Commons)을 초래하기 때문이다. 다만, 비용부담의 정도에 있어서는 다른 요인이 고려될 필요가 있다. 원칙적으로 하천의 자연적 기능을 유지하는데 필요한 유량은 하천관리청의 의무이므로 공공부담으로 하고 인위적 기능을 유지하는데 필요한 유량은 수익자 또는 원인자부담이 바람직하다. 이러한 기본 원칙에 따르면, 환경개선용수는 수익자부담 또는 원인자부담이 주(主)원칙이고 공공부담은 부(副)원칙이다. 본 연구는 환경개선용수의 확보 및 공급에 따른 비용부담 원칙에 대한 기준을 제시한다.

This paper deals with the longitudinal study on the supply & demand-side diversity of digital media service. The purpose of this study is to measure the diversity of contents supply and demand-side of digital media platform providers by longitudinal data and discuss the implication. In the approval and re-authorization of pay-TV broadcasters, there were attempts to measure diversity indicators as items to evaluate the publicness and public interest of broadcasting, but they are mainly limited to the method of measuring diversity in the short-term supply side. Thus researcher wants to confirm the evaluation of two aspects through this study. First, researcher proposes a demand-side measurement methodology that utilizes actual audience data from users, and second, a longitudinal evaluation methodology that evaluates long-term trends of diversity change. Researcher has secured the actual supply and demand data of the platform player and confirmed trends of longitudinal diversification indexing for 50 months from 2012 to 2017. Through this research, researcher expects that the supply and demand-side and the longitudinal diversity evaluation will be utilized in a balanced way of publicness and public interest evaluation of broadcasting.

The public bicycle of Seoul, Ttareungyi, was launched at October 2015 to reduce traffic and carbon emissions in downtown Seoul and now, 2023 Oct, the cumulative number of user is upto 4 million and the number of bike is about 43,000 with about 2700 stations. However, super growth of Ttareungyi has caused the several problems, especially demand/supply mismatch, and thus the Seoul citizen has been complained about out of stock. In this point, this study conducted a real time demand forecasting model to prevent stock out bike at stations. To develop the model, the research team gathered the rental·return transaction data of 20,000 bikes in whole 1600 stations for 2019 year and then analyzed bike usage, user behavior, bike stations, and so on. The forecasting model using machine learning is developed to predict the amount of rental/return on each bike station every hour through daily learning with the recent 90 days data with the weather information. The model is validated with MAE and RMSE of bike stations, and tested as a prototype service on the Seoul Bike Management System(Mobile App) for the relocation team of Seoul City.
