The rapid growth of the Internet has increased the amount of transmission of personally identifiable information. At the same time, with new Internet related technologies, organizations are trying to collect and access more personal information than before, which in turn makes individuals concern more about their information privacy. For their successful businesses, organizations have tried to alleviate these concerns in two ways: (1) by offering privacy policies that promise certain level of privacy protection; (2) by offering benefits such as financial gains or convenience. In this paper, we interpret these actions in the context of the information processing theory of motivation. This paper follows Hann et al.(2007)'s methods to analyze Internet users privacy concerns in Korea and tries to compare the findings. Our research objectives are as follows: First, we analyze privacy concern mitigation strategies in the framework of the expectancy theory of motivation. Subsequently, we show how the expectancy theory based framework is linked o the conjoint analysis. We empirically validate the predictions that the means to mitigate privacy concerns are associated with positive valences resulting in an increase in motivational score. In order to accommodate real-life contexts, we investigate these means in trade-off situation, where an organization may only be able to offer partially complete privacy protection and/or promotions and/or convenience, While privacy protection (secondary use, improper access) are associated with positive valences, we also find that financial gains can significantly increase the individuals' motivational score of a website in Korea. One important implication of this empirical analysis is that organizations may possess means to actively manage the privacy concerns of Internet users. Our findings show that privacy policies are valued by users in Korea just as in the US or Singapore. Hence, organizations can capitalize on this, by stating their privacy policy more prominently. Also organizations would better think of strategies or means that may increase online users' willingness to provide personal information. Since financial incentives also significantly increase the individuals' motivational score of website participation, we can quantify the value of website privacy protection in terms of monetary gains. We find that Korean Internet users value the total privacy protection (protection against errors, improper access, and secondary use of personal information) as worthy as KW 25,550, which is about US 28. Having done this conjoint analysis, we next adopt cluster analysis methodology. We identify two distinct segments of Korea's internet users-privacy guardians and information sellers, and convenience seekers. The immediate implication of our study is that firms with online presence must differentiate their services to serve these distinct segments to best meet the needs of segments with differing trade-offs between money and privacy concerns. Information sellers are distinguished from privacy guardians by prior experience of information provision, To the extent that businesses cannot observe an individual's prior experience, they must use indirect methods to induce segmentation by self-selection as suggested in classic economics literature of price discrimination, Businesses could use monetary rewards to attract information sellers to provide personal information. One step forward from the societal trends that emphasize the need of legal protection of information privacy, our study wants to encourage organizations and related authorities to have the viewpoints to consider both importance of privacy protection and the necessity of information trade for the growth of e-commerce.

최근 경제의 장기적 불황으로 저렴하게 좋은 상품을 구매하려는 소비자의 욕구가 급증하고 있다. 저렴하게 좋은 상품을 구매하는 방법으로는 중고거래가 각광을 받고 있으며, 중고거래가 활성화됨에 따라 소비자가 느끼는 중고거래에 대한 심리적 거리감도 줄어들고 있다. 특히 대학교의 전공서적 같은 고가의 도서의 경우 각 대학마다 중고도서 전용의 커뮤니티가 생길 정도로 활발한 거래가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 대학 중고도서 거래 전용 사이트의 경우 실시간 거래 현황을 한눈에 알아보기 힘들고, 단방향적인 판매자의 가격 설정으로 인해 합리적 도서 구매가 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 누구나 손쉽게 중고도서 거래를 할 수 있는 경매 방식 기반 중고도서 거래 웹 서비스를 설계 및 구현하였다. 본 서비스는 웹 기반으로 설계되었으며 편리하고 효율적인 도서 등록 및 검색 기능을 통해 사용자에게 편리함을 제공한다.

The contracting parties must be provided a litigation scheme in order to resolve a dispute. This means taking advantage of effective measures for mediation or arbitration. A lease transaction is likely to occur mainly after a dispute. It is necessary to take the appropriate measures in advance. In general, when a variety of contracts are created, conflicts arise and disputes have to be resolved through mediation and arbitration documents, and adjustment or intervention is called for. Arbitration system is a system that is established based on the trust of the arbitral tribunal. For such system, quality education for enhancing professionalism required of the arbitrator is important. A party responding to an arbitration agreement presents a problem. The current system must ensure that there are no disadvantaged parties. However, a party must depend on an arbitration agreement that is part of the law rescue system. A litigation support by the local Bar Association must be carried out. It should be notified of the contents of the contract to select a strategy that will best resolve the conflict. In the case of lease transactions, there is a need to create a scheme to make a standard agreement that inserts an arbitration clause. Lease sale and purchase agreement or lease agreement is a form of contract that has been frequently used. Here, the arbitration agreement clause for a lawyer that will serve as arbitrator should be inserted. It is a scheme that can be activated for individuals in poor areas. In addition, it is possible to see it taking a scheme to take advantage of the lawyer system for the future of the town. The Attorney System of a town is a system that the Korean Bar Association, Legal Department has put in place since 2013. If a real estate trade dispute occurs, the role of the intermediary attorney should be to carry out his duties efficiently. In the case of real estate transaction conflicts, the lawyer of the village should be registered as the arbitrator. It is important to establish a basis of regulations through this type of real estate transaction accident analysis. Before proceeding with various adjustment systems, it is desirable to expand the arbitration region. Now we need a realtor amendment. It is the part where fragmentation of intermediary qualification is required, along with the eligibility of a subdivision.

정보기술의 빠른 진화, 빅데이터의 등장, 분석기법의 고도화 등으로 인해 다량의 데이터로부터 의미있는 정보를 추출하는 데이터마이닝을 다양한 영역에 활용하고자 하는 시도들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중의 한 분야가 농산물 유통영역인데, 농산물에 대한 지속적인 수요 증가와 전자경매의 활성화 등으로 수도권 농산물 도매시장에서만도 연간 수천만건 이상의 거래가 이루어 진다. 그러나 급속한 거래량 증가와 더불어 과거로부터 관행적으로 이루어지고 있는 부정거래도 함께 증가하고 있는데 거래참가자들 사이의 결탁에 의해 발생하는 농산물 도매시장의 부정거래는 점차 지능화되는 추세이며, 이들을 감지하고 적발하기가 매우 어려운 실정이다. 이로 인해 농산물 유통환경의 공정거래 질서는 침해되고 시장에 대한 신뢰는 훼손되곤 한다. 따라서 거래투명성을 제고하고 유통비리를 구조적으로 개선하기 위한 과학적이고 자동화된 부정탐지시스템의 필요성이 어느 때보다도 절실히 요구되는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 데이터마이닝의 의사결정나무를 이용하여 실제 발생하지 않은 거래를 실물 없이 거래한 것처럼 조작하여 대금을 정산하는 행위인 허위거래를 탐지하는 모형을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 실제 농산물 도매시장의 데이터를 수집하였고, 데이터의 정제 및 표준화 등의 선행작업을 수행하였다. 또한 변수 간의 상관관계 및 분포도 분석 등을 통해 데이터의 특성을 파악한 후 예측모형을 구축하여 허위거래와 정상거래를 분류하는 패턴을 도출하였으며, 최종적으로 시험용 데이터를 이용하여 모형을 평가하는 단계를 거쳐 결과의 적합성을 확인하였다. 향후 데이터마이닝을 이용한 부정탐지 모형을 허위거래뿐만 아니라 낙찰부정, 경매조작 등과 같이 다양화되는 부정거래에 적용하게 되면 보다 지대한 효과를 거둘 수 있으리라 사료된다.
