This study criticizes the wave of liberalization, privatization, thoughtless and uncontrolled over-competition in the electronic communication networks area. This criticism is based on the 'transport economics' on one side, the 'network neutrality debate' on the other side. Through these standpoints, this study insists that it needs to deal with a social agenda related to the problems such as unplanned and unbalanced development of electronic communication networks, double/tripple-investment in the communication industry, conflicts among network companies and the decline of public values. Also does this study stress on the new ideas in the electronic communication network policy and planning to manage these problems. Electronic communication networks are converging and their borders are blurred. As a result of these flows, the field of information technology, media and contents is faced with radical changes. These changes could be so critical and complicated that nobody can diagnose their multi-level implications. However, the one thing sure is that we should start from the communication networks to think and control a communication system. Therefore, we should discuss and plan the now-and-future of communication infrastructure and its management. we need not only a market mentality but also a socio-cultural mentality. In this respect, this study does insist that it requires the vision of digital democracy and democratic communication ecology to put the steps toward social communication system.

We investigated subgroups within a global communication network to improve the empirical understanding of global communication phenomenon from the social network perspective. We collected global communication data from Twitter and constructed a global communication network. We also added countries' geographic and economic properties used in the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. We analyzed the subgroups' structure within the global communication network using centrality analysis, core-peripheral analysis, and cohesion analysis. We also detected communities embedded within the global communication network with modularity-based community detection methods. We found that the core countries occupy central positions in the global communication network and there is a hierarchical communication structure among the economic subgroups. Futhermore, we discovered some communities within the global communication network and found that countries within the communities can have homophily such as economy, geography, history, culture, and religion.

The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning and the effect of communication as social capital, which needs to be evaluated empirically focusing on corporate reputation. Also, it tried to analyze consumers' communication network in the structural, substantial, and relational level, which is to verify how characteristics and meanings of communication network structure affect to a good corporate reputation. A survey toward 200 participants was conducted during 5 days from March 29 to April 3, 2012. Characteristics of communication network structure of a corporation with higher reputation is analyzed using the index such as degree, degree centrality, and density. The findings of the study show that a corporation with higher reputation has higher network degree, degree centrality, and density compared to a corporation with lower reputation. Consumers of a corporation with higher reputation get information from various overlapping sources. It allows them to share similar interpretation, which could elevate the degree, degree centrality, and density of network. It also proved that when the network density is high, a corporation with higher reputation can distribute information much faster and easier. Moreover, in the substantial level of social capital, product/service information network has high degree and density rather than corporate issue information network. Likewise, degree and density of information acquisition network was higher than those of information provision network. Also, this study verified the effect and relationship between the network structure characteristics and corporate loyalty in a relational level. In this way, the positive effect of the degree centrality on corporate loyalty was supported. In conclusion, as consumers share more information from overlapping sources, the degree of communication network gets higher. Throughout this network, the diffusion of information among consumers would be activated, and this confirmed that corporate reputation and corporate loyalty is closely related.

Despite the near ubiquity of mobile phone and internet, the 'meta research' that deals with face-to-face(FTF), mobile phone and internet together as interpersonal media is very rare in Korea. This study begin with the purpose of fair repositioning of mobile phone and internet in Korean's interpersonal communication horizon. To accomplish this purpose, We examined the effect of face-to-face communication situation on uses of mobile phone and internet as interpersonal communication media. The related raw data were collected from on-line survey process, and statistically analyzed. The result showed that persons who are more troublesome in FTF communication because of their timidness or personality problem are more restricted in human communication network via mobile phone and internet than the others who are not. And more 'addicted' in internet use and more active in trying another personality(Persona) in cyber space. And more shrunk in meeting and conversation with family members and friends after internet adoption.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between national reputation, culture and communication based on the intercultural communication theory. The 18 foreign residents in Korea were interviewed. The analysis of in-depth interview reveals that culture and communication are very important factors in establishing the national reputation. The qualitative research showcases that the cultural acculturation types(separation, integration, and assimilation) are grouped as foreigners adapt and acculturate to the residence. Especially, the assimilation is very essential type in having the in-group expectancy and the loyalty to Korea. The results reveal that a higher level of heterogeneity of a personal network('Korean in-group network') is associated with a higher level of reputation and loyalty to Korea. This suggests that having outgroup members in individuals' personal networks facilitates outgroup communication competence and loyalty to Korea.

본 연구는 생활환경 지능화(Ambient Intelligence 이하 AmI)의 기술적 변화와 Ambient Display와 Ambient Media 등을 바탕으로 Ambient Art의 개념과 특성을 도출하고, 이를 통한 감성 커뮤니케이션 연구의 가능성을 살펴 보았다. 앞으로의 사회는 AmI의 환경으로 변화해 갈 것이다. AmI란 인간 중심의 지능형 컴퓨터, 네트워크, 인터페이스 기술을 기반으로 우리의 주변환경이 지능을 갖게 된 상황을 말한다. 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅, 무선 네트워크와 같은 AmI의 기술들은 새로운 미디어를 만들고 이러한 미디어는 우리의 인식과 커뮤니케이션 방식을 변화시키고 있다. 기술의 발달은 빠른 반면, 그 기술을 사용하는 사람의 적응속도는 느리기 때문에 사람이 어떻게 새로운 기술에 적응할 것인가는 핵심적 문제다. 감성 커뮤니케이션 연구는 이런 문제들을 해결하는데 큰 도움을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 사람들의 감성 욕구까지 채워줄 수 있다. 그러나 감성은 순간적이며 복합적이고 무의식적으로 발생하고 수시로 변하기 때문에 연구하기가 쉽지 않다[1]. 본 연구에서 정의한 Ambient Art는 일상의 환경에서 자연스럽게 접할 수 있으며 사용자의 직접적인 인지가 없이도 감상할 수 있는 예술로, 기술이 환경에 스며들게 되는 것처럼 예술이 환경에 스며들어 궁극적으로 언제 어디서나 감상이 가능한 전시공간의 유비쿼터스화를 지향한다. 이러한 Ambient Art는 감성커뮤니케이션 연구의 새로운 대안책으로 생각해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ambient Art의 5가지 특성을 상황인지, 분위기, 개인화, 상호작용, 자가성장으로 나누어 살펴 보았다. 또한 Ambient Art의 개념과 특성을 반영한 작품 City Forest를 제안하였다. 이 작품은 사람들의 활동에 의해 달라지는 시각적 감성 전달을 통해 이성보다 앞서 있는 감성을 자극하여 개인과 환경, 환경과 환경끼리의 상호 작용을 촉진시켜 Ambient Art를 통한 감성 커뮤니케이션을 보여주었다는데 의의가 있다.
