In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, modern society is evolving beyond an information society into a hyperconnected society, with the advancement of technology leading to the development of smart cities. According to Cohen (2015), the direction of smart city evolution is shifting from a technology-driven approach to a citizen co-creation model, and living labs play a crucial role in this transition. The objective of this study is to empirically analyze the success factors of living labs in smart cities using the citizen co-creation approach, focusing on social capital. Social capital is measured by variables such as interest, networks, trust, and norms, while the success factors of living labs are analyzed through variables like communication, democracy (conflict acceptance), and open innovation. The analysis results showed that, among the success factors of living labs, communication was positively influenced by trust, norms, and networks, with trust having the greatest impact. Democracy (conflict acceptance) was positively influenced by norms and interest, while open innovation was positively influenced by norms and interest as well. This study concludes that the formation of social capital is crucial for the success of living labs in smart cities following the citizen co-creation model. In particular, the formation of trust among neighbors, colleagues, national and local governments is vital. Additionally, adherence to laws, regulations, and community agreements, as well as interest in various local events and policies, are essential. Based on these findings, this study suggests that while smart cities may have originated from technology, they must ultimately be pursued based on people-centered participation, interest, and trust for sustainable development.

This study is to explain social capital characteristics of Filipino immigrant women at the level of neighborhood. This research targeted Filipino immigrant women in the metropolis, small town and rural area in Korea to find out the relevance of individual property and characteristics of the community and social capital of neighboring communities- school community, cathedral community, etc- through measurement of the participants' recognition. This study reveals that differences exist in the relationship between length of residence and social capital in the school community and the catholic church community. There is a significant positive relationship between length of residence and political factors in the catholic church community, thereby having a better relationship with longer period of stay, while length of residence and confidence show a negative trend in the school community, leading to less confidence. The catholic church community holds a dominant position in homogeneity, cohesion, and the amount of social capital. According to the findings, social capital 'relation' is more closely related to homogeneity of the community, 'norms' to cohesion. 'Relation and norms' and 'confidence and politics' factors are recognized similarly in both communities, thus resulting in the recognition that decision making within the community, the share of value, and observance of social norms approximate a friendly relationship among members, and satisfaction level, emotional support, and confidence among members approach politics that members can talk about their personal matters. It is noted in the research process that the symbolism of the cathedral community as a transnational circuit behavior occurs where collective culture and personal desires of Filipino immigrant women were combined with production of social capital. Filipino immigrant women's awareness of community and social capital appearing in the cathedral community show that not only residence, along with the cultural identity of Filipino immigrant women, but also collective social and cultural characteristics, such as 'family reunion' can not be overlooked. In particular, at this time when discussion and debate on the interculturalism over multiculturalism is heating up, communal spirit and social capital based on the ethnic identity are important in that they can be a crucial path to the cross-cultural interaction with our society, therefore, a study on the social capital of the ethnic community needs to be encouraged and extended to more diverse communities, to the space of the multilayered scale.

While focusing on commercial online communities from the marketing perspective, however, researchers have barely discussed non-commercial online communities despite its popularity.

The result also included the differences between employed mothers and non-employed mothers. This study has expanded the research scope of online communities and offered theoretical and practical implications based on the interdisciplinary discussion that involves one of the understudied populations, mothers.
