최근 수돗물 공급과정에 있어 적수, 유충 발생 등 지역 단위의 수질문제로 국민의 직간접적인 피해가 발생된 바 있다. 수질문제 발생 시, 소셜네트워크서비스(SNS)에 게시되는 피해 관련 의견은 시공간적으로 빠르게 확산되며, 궁극적으로는 물공급과정 전체의 부정적 인식증가와 신뢰도 저하를 초래한다. 따라서, 물공급시스템에서의 수질사고 발생을 빠르게 인지하는 다양한 방법론의 적용을 통한 피해 최소화를 위한 노력이 반드시 필요하다. 일반적으로 수질사고는 다양한 항목의 실시간 계측기에서 획득되는 시계열자료의 변화양상을 통해 판단할 수 있으나, 이와 같은 방법론의 효율적 적용을 위해서는 선진계측인프라의 도입이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 발달된 정보통신기술환경을 활용하여, 물공급네트워크 내 수질사고인지를 위한 SNS 별 웹크롤링 방법론을 제안하고, 적용결과를 분석하였다. 방법론의 구현에 앞서, 각종 SNS 별(트위터, 인스타그램, 블로그, 네이버 카페 등) 프로그래밍을 통한 웹크롤링 가능여부, 정보획득 기간 등을 확인하였으며, 과거 유사 수질사고 발생 시 영향력과 관련 게시글이 크게 나타난 네이버 카페와 트위터를 중심으로 웹 크롤링 절차를 제시하였다. 네이버 카페의 경우 대상급수구역 내의 시민들이 다수 참여하는 카페를 목록화하고, 지자체명과 핵심 키워드(수돗물, 유충, 적수) 조합을 활용한 웹크롤링을 수행하여, 관련 게시물 건수와 의미를 실시간으로 분석하는 절차를 마련하였다. 개발된 SNS 별 웹크롤링 방법론에 따라 과거 수질사고가 발생된 바 있는 2개 이상의 지자체에 대한 분석을 실시하였으며, SNS 별 결과에 있어 차이점을 확인하여 제시하였다. 향후 제안된 방법을 적용하여 시공간적 수질사고 정보의 전파 및 확산양상을 추가적으로 분석할수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Although the rapid development of technology has led to a swift increase in the number of companies using social networking services (SNS), it will not be accurate to say that they have fully "utilized" the functionality of SNS simply by "using" these services. Therefore, this study aims to increase the convenience of using digital technology and help SNS users in extending the functionality of these services beyond their regular use and thus, revitalize the field by increasing the service providers' efficiency. In this study, the Facebook usage status of a graduate school newspaper from an undisclosed university in Seoul was analyzed from February to December, 2021 using the participant observation method. The results of the study revealed the following: First, it is necessary to diversify the subject and type of content to ensure a continuous supply of quality content; Second, there is a need to examine the user categories and characteristics by utilizing SNS functionalities such as, the target reports and insights, and based on this, supply content that meets the needs of the users; Third, to resolve the problem of low levels of user participation and an inactive Facebook account, it is necessary to mobilize new marketing tools like online events. The significance of this study is that it confronts the real problems faced by some companies that cannot keep pace with market changes in a digital environment, identifies failure factors, and proposes solutions to them.

Purpose: The demand for ordinary mail services supplied by 'Korea POST' is decreasing due to the opening of mail service market and the growth of alternative communication media such as e-mail and SNS. To overcome this situation it is urgent to introduce new services that can be able to appeal customers and to improve existing services. Methods: A field survey is conducted to corporate customers who send ordinary mails and individual customers who receive these mails, respectively. Quality attributes of ordinary mail services are classified by two-dimensional perspectives in terms of Kano model. Decision tree model is utilized for classifying the quality attributes. Comparative analyses are done whether there are perceived differences on each quality attributes between corporate customers and individual customers. Results: Quality attributes such as 'discount postal charges', 'sending small packages by simply dropping it into a mail box', 'sending a mail of any appearance', 'delivering a mail anywhere', and 'receiving a mail at a preferred time where a customer is located ' are classified differently according to some market segments, while most of the quality attributes are classified as attractive or one-dimensional. Conclusion: Decision tree model has been found to be most effective to classify quality attributes for each market segment especially when trying to classify quality attributes belonging to 'gray areas'. Based on the perceived differences on quality attributes among customers, strategic implications are suggested to obtain potential customers and to have competitive advantages.

Purpose Mobile phones increase the frequency and speed of communication. The most popular mobile application in Korea is KakaoTalk, one of the mobile instant messenger(MIM) services. Although studying mobile services such as SMS, SNS and SNG suggests drawing upon theories in marketing, consumer behavior, psychology to investigate their personal use, research on MIM is scarce. We designed this paper to fill this gap. More specifically, this study is focused on the relationships among consumers psychological variables related to purchase intention to emoticons in context of MIM. Design/methodology/approach Data was obtained from 310 KakaoTalk users in Korea via questionnaire. The data was analyzed by structural equation modeling in order to verify the relationship between variables in the model. Specifically, this study is designed to examine the structural relationships among perceived benefits, perceived risks, trust in messenger service, system quality, trust in platform, and emoticons purchase intention. Findings The findings of this study are as follow. First, perceived benefits and perceived risks had a significant impact on trust in MIM service(e.g. KakaoTalk). Specifically, while perceived benefits had a positive effect on trust in MIM service, perceived risks had a negative effect on trust in MIM service. Second, trust in messenger service also had a positive impact on system quality. Third, trust in messenger service and system quality had a positive effect on trust in platform(e.g. Kakao platform) directly. Lastly, trust in platform had a positive influence on emoticons purchase intention in KakaoTalk messenger.

Museum management has been centered on curated exhibitions. Today, however, visitor-tailored exhibitions are all the rage, and various ICT-based services such as museum app's and exhibition explanation through QR code are being provided. To this trend, research on museum services using smartphones and SNS has been conducted. But there have been few studies of technical influence on the museum service satisfaction factors. This study, therefore, attempted to identify and classify the satisfaction factors of museum services with Kano model which explains service quality attributes. Samples from South Korea and Austria were analyzed There was a significant gap in quality factors according to cultural differences and a notable difference in perceived quality even for the factors in the same dimension. It implies that cultural differences need to be taken into account for the priority of museum services.
