With the technical development of fourth industrial revolution, VR game market is rapidly expanding. Meanwhile, heavy user group means the group consisting of people consuming certain media or contents more than others, which is the core constituency of the media industry, and there have been only a few studies on them. This study identified the factors that influenced the continuous intention of use of VR game heavy users and figured out their characteristics by verifying the difference in variables with the light user group. According to the results, the heavy user group showed higher behaviors than the light user group in terms of personal innovation, presence, and continuous intention of use variables. In addition to this, it was found that personal innovation, perceived quality, and presence had a significant influence on the continuous intention of use. This study is intended to empirically analyze the characteristics of heavy VR game users and influential factors, thereby preparing baseline data for VR game development and other relevant studies.

Mobile RFID technology as a typical Convergence technology combines RFID communication, mobile communication and network infrastructure, and information processing technology. As it enables users to communicate with the surroundings, Mobile RFID technology is now recognized to serve as the basis technology for the Ubiquitous Information Society where users can get the needed information anytime and anywhere. Through lots of efforts for the early technology development and standardization activities on Mobile RFID technology, Korea has been leading technology standardization as well as technology initiatives. Thus, this research paper describes the domestic and the international standardization activities on Mobile RFID technology as well as the latest standardization status. Further this paper summarizes the major standardization issues, and then proposes the standardization strategy of Mobile RFID technology by analyzing the relevant and influential factors.

Nowadays the enormous growth of modern information communication technologies and its massive use have influenced information users all over the world. Such a digital environment has drastically changed the information seeking patterns of information users of every community. These also tend law students to use various legal information sources and services in digital environments while seeking information. But there have been few empirical user studies on the aspect of digital information seeking behaviours of law students in either law or library and information science literatures. This paper aims to draw out patterns of information seeking behavior of students of law in digital environments at the University of Dhaka. A stratified random sample survey was conducted for this study. The results show that students prefer the electronic format of information rather than printed format. Major e-resources used by them and the influential factors of use were also identified in this study. This study also identified some crucial problems for seeking information and provides suggestions for the development of electronic legal information systems.

Ther purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptual differences in brand images of national medium-low price casual clothing according to purchase volume and brand loyalty. Additionally, differences between Seoul and County of Chungnam in purchase volume of each brand of medium-low priced casual, information source and companion in purchasing the brands were analyzed. The questionnaires were administered to 540 college student living in Seoul and County of Chungnam, and the method used to analyze the data were frequency, factor analysis, and t-test. The results were as follows: 1) Perceptual mapping showed that preference ranks among the six brands were same regardless of purchase volume and brand loyalty, but heavy users and loyal consumers to medium-low priced casual brands had more favorite brand image than light users and non loyal consumers. 2) Those who live in County of Chungnam purchased all six brands more than those who love in Seoul with the exception of Hunt.

Understanding of the reasons why users in recreation settings select particular trails may provide useful information for effective recreation resources management. This study investigated the present use of the major trails in Mudeung-san Provincial Park and the major influential factors on trail selection. This study was conducted in Mudeung-san Provincial Park stretching over Hwasun-gun and Damyang-gun of Chonnam Province and Kwang-ju city during August in 1996. Data were collected through on-site survey and mail-back questionnaire. 519(44.2%) out of 1173 survey samples were used for analysis. Reasons for selecting a particular trail were classified into 8 major factors. In overall, the order of the importance degree of the factors was 1) aesthetics of landscape, 2) safety(from physical and crime), 3) conditions for health, 4) quietness, 5) familiarity, 6) on the way to the destination, 7) convenience/social, 8) others' intention. There were differences in the degree of importance of each factor depending on trails, users' characteristics(eg., gender, age, group size, visit experience, etc.) and users' behavioral patterns. Recreation motivations were classified into 5 major factors. The order of the importance degree of the factors was 1) contacting with nature, 2) self-training, 3) solitude, 4) social interaction, 5) appreciating cultural properties. Regardless of trails, 'contacting with nature' was the most important factor, and the degree of importance in the other 4 motivational factors showed only a little differences in order according to the trails. There were correlations between major factors for trail selection and recreation motivations. The results of this study may provide foundational information for establishing effective management strategies through better understanding of the present use of trails and influential factors on trail selection. It can be used for reducing the present social and ecological problems caused by use concentration on certain trails and providing users with better quality of diverse recreational experiences. This study discussed the findings, and suggested some management strategies based on these information.

In the recent information-oriented age, various information technologies (ITs) have been introduced in construction industries. However, since construction ITs tend to be employed by the demand of the government or owners rather than the demand of information accepters (users), this tendency inhibits the spread of user-friendly construction ITs. In order to find these inhibitive factors, this research conducted practical studies, based on Davis' technology acceptance model, for construction ITs' acceptance according to the information accepters' (users) features. This study was hypothesized whether or not each inner and outer factors with respect to construction ITs are influential to the information accepters (users). As a result of this study, the primary factors which can maximize the usefulness and ease of use and should be considered when developing new information technologies were suggested.

Current friend recommendation system on Twitter primarily recommends the most influential twitter. However, this way of recommendation has drawbacks where it does not recommend the users of which attributes of interests are similar to theirs. Since users want other users of which attributes are similar, this study implements follower recommendation system based on the similarity of twitter node informations. The data in this study is from SNAP(Stanford Network Analysis Platform), and it consists of twitter node information of which number of followers is over 10,000 and twitter link information. We used the SNAP data as a training data, and generated a classifier which recommends and predicts the relation between followers. We evaluated the classifier by 10-Fold Cross validation. Once two twitter node informations are given, our model can recommend the relationship of the two twitters as one of following such as: FoFo(Follower Follower), FoFr(Follower Friend), NC(Not Connected).
