  • The understanding and capability to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) incorporated technology has become a required basic skillset for the people living in today's information age, and various members of the university have also increasingly become aware of the need for AI education. Amidst such shifting societal demands, both domestic and international university libraries have recognized the users' need for educational content centered on AI, but a user-centered service that aims to provide personalized recommendations of digital AI educational content is yet to become available. It is critical while the demand for AI education amongst university students is progressively growing that university libraries acquire a clear understanding of user intention towards an AI educational content recommender system and the potential factors contributing to its success. This study intended to ascertain the factors affecting acceptance of such system, using the Extended Technology Acceptance Model with added variables - innovativeness, self-efficacy, social influence, system quality and task-technology fit - in addition to perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use. Quantitative research was conducted via online research surveys for university students, and quantitative research was conducted through written interviews of university librarians. Results show that all groups, regardless of gender, year, or major, have the intention to use the AI-related Educational Content Recommendation System, with the task suitability factor being the most dominant variant to affect use intention. University librarians have also expressed agreement about the necessity of the recommendation system, and presented budget and content quality issues as realistic restrictions of the aforementioned system.

  • The aim of this study is to analyze problems with regional development projects by examining their actual conditions and to propose measures to promote such projects based on the size of local cities. To achieve this goal, problems associated with regional development projects were analyzed, and measures for their promotion were derived by dividing these projects into planning, strategy, policy, and institutional sectors according to the size of local cities. The problems identified with regional development projects include diversification leading to similar and overlapping projects, lack of participation by local experts, top-down government structure for designating and supporting regional development projects, and insufficient budget. In order to address these issues, local experts have suggested differential measures based on the size of local cities. Specifically, in the planning sector, it was proposed that economic, cultural, social, and welfare functions be expanded and reorganized primarily around small and medium-sized cities, and that long-term strategies be established for regional large cities through various partnerships and step-by-step procedures. In the policy sector, it was suggested that the implementation of bottom-up development under the leadership of local governments should be focused on small and medium-sized cities, and that the transition from a specific industry-oriented policy to a corporate growth policy needs to be established around large cities. Finally, in the institutional sector, it was recommended that a performance evaluation system for the use of financial resources and a system for expanding financial resources should be established primarily in small and medium-sized cities.

  • Recently, consumers are showing interest in social and environmental issues. In addition, consumers are increasingly participating in meaning-out that give meaning to their consumption and express moral values. However, unlike the spread of meaning-out, existing studies are lacking. This study approaches meaning out, which has become a recent issue, from an experiential point of view, and aims to study how the experiential characteristics of meaning out affect psychological effects such as improvement of self-esteem and subjective well-being. First, we hypothesized that the experience of meaning out(feel, think, act, relate) had an effect on subjective well-being through improvement of self-esteem. We tested the hypothesis on a total of 197 data using the structural equation model. As a result, it was found that three experiences excluding 'feel' have a positive effect on the improvement of self-esteem, and and improved self-esteem had a positive effect on improving subjective well-being. This study expands existing studies and provides practical implications by confirming that meaning out has a positive psychological effect.

  • Together with the increase of public housing complex, the issues of community following residential environment under contemporary society has become an important issue and the collapse of traditional community has long been emerged as an important social issue. In order to facilitate communities within the public housing complex, various discussions have been continued, and for addressing such an issue under this study, the public housing complexes n Seoul, the capital region and other major cities have been surveyed and analyzed to draw following conclusion as the design-type study to propose a model of community facilities. It displays that there is certain limitation with respect to the diversity of programs when comparing the community facility standard defined under the public housing related laws and regulations. This is attributable to the fact that it is a limitation to satisfy the level of satisfaction for residents that expect the improvement in quality of leisure life, and the facility standard that is standardized around the physical facility environment has certain limitations to enhance the level of satisfaction for residents when the demand has been on the rise with respect to quality. For this fact, the approach in consideration of diversity for the facility standard has to be made in advance. As the utility of external space for the public housing is increased, it is reasonable to consider the plan to secure environment through the architectural factors, and it has the strength in enhancing the utility of internal and external space of the community facilities.

  • Recently, the number of SNS user has rapidly increased due to smart device industry development and also the amount of generated data is exponentially increasing. In the twitter, Text data generated by user is a key issue to research because it involves events, accidents, reputations of products, and brand images. Twitter has become a channel for users to receive and exchange information. An important characteristic of Twitter is its realtime. Earthquakes, floods and suicides event among the various events should be analyzed rapidly for immediately applying to events. It is necessary to collect tweets related to the event in order to analyze the events. But it is difficult to find all tweets related to the event using normal keywords. In order to solve such a mentioned above, this paper proposes A Generation and Matching Method of Normal-Transient Dictionary for realtime topic detection. Normal dictionaries consist of general keywords(event: suicide-death-loop, death, die, hang oneself, etc) related to events. Whereas transient dictionaries consist of transient keywords(event: suicide-names and information of celebrities, information of social issues) related to events. Experimental results show that matching method using two dictionary finds more tweets related to the event than a simple keyword search.

  • The purpose of all public libraries is to provide knowledge and information services for the intellectual and reading activities of local residents, program services that provide opportunities for cultural enjoyment and lifelong learning, and third-party spaces and facilities that contribute to the development of the community. To this end, social needs must be reflected in a timely manner with the establishment of a sound infrastructure as a prerequisite. This study analyzed the current status centered on key indicators of the public libraries in Daegu City and presented policy issues that need to be improved through a survey. The key indicators in Daegu City, compared to the national average, were not only significantly weak for the 3rd largest city but also showed considerable variation among local governments. While Daegu citizens valued public libraries in their daily lives, the dissatisfaction rate was high in the order of transportation inconvenience, lack of necessary materials and desired programs, and various regulations. Therefore, Daegu City should focus on increasing the acquisition budget, strengthening the development of new book collections, expanding the number of librarians, expanding the construction of public libraries to address service disparities among local governments, improving accessibility, and addressing factors that hinder usage. In addition, with the establishment and operation of the Daegu Library in 2024, efforts should be made to establish an operational system for public libraries, expand the scope through collaborative partnerships with other knowledge and cultural institutions, and enhance knowledge and cultural services for the Daegu citizen.

  • Online shopping has transformed and rapidly grown the entire market at the forefront of wholesale and retail services as an effective solution to issues such as digital transformation and social distancing policy (COVID-19 pandemic). Small business owners, who form the majority at the center of the online shopping industry, are constantly collecting policy changes and market trend information to overcome these problems and use them for marketing and other sales activities in order to overcome these problems and continue to grow. Objective and refined information that is more closely related to the business is also needed. Therefore, in this paper, through the collection and analysis of big data information, which is the core technology of digital transformation, key variables are set in product classification, sales trends, consumer preferences, and review information of online shopping malls, and a method of using them for competitor comparison analysis and business sustainability evaluation has been prepared and we would like to propose it as a service. If small and medium-sized businesses can benchmark competitors or excellent businesses based on big data and identify market trends and consumer tendencies, they will clearly recognize their level and position in business and voluntarily strive to secure higher competitiveness. In addition, if the sustainable growth of the online shopping mall operator can be confirmed as an indicator, more efficient policy establishment and risk management can be expected because it has an improved measurement method.

  • This study focused on indoor spaces and convenience devices among vehicle interior designs suitable for the autonomous driving era, and presented an interior design model for future automobiles by applying the STEEP analysis method. The service design methodology is applied to deal with changes in display devices installed for the purpose of rearranging layouts and providing driver-centered information. Changes in types and installation locations of displays for various purposes such as connected and infotainment are expected. In particular, through this analysis, trends and experiences through indoor interior research in future self-driving cars will be studied, and subsequent studies will be used as basic data for actual development and application. Key drivers were extracted after deriving future trends linking the research project conducted in five stages to STEEP and consulting experts through FGI. Through this, it was later presented as a direction for indoor design. Through user-centered participatory design methods, emotional keyword derivation methods were used, summarized the derived drivers in five major trends in the future society, and each derived drivers were grouped to consider the relevant technology fields, and added elements to the autonomous driving level. This is an indoor ray viewed from the perspective of various social issues as well as personal tendencies in the future self-driving car industry.

  • In recent years, the Korean realistic theme of the film momentum gradually rising. Realistic films do not stick to the business and market, and do not simply cater to the audience's needs for watching movies. They reflect social violence and cruel reality, allowing the audience to observe the structural contradictions in reality and think about the direction when watching movies. At the recent cannes film festival, "parasite" won the top prize palm in cannes by an overwhelming margin, with the highest score of 3.3 issues. Although this film is positioned as a thriller with comedy elements, it presents the opposite life images of Korean classes to the audience in a parasitic way, which not only expands the possibility and artistry of realistic film aesthetics, but also enhances the appreciation of the film and gives play to its own aesthetic value. Focusing on the technical and literary nature of the film, and having a high degree of attention to real life, it is an excellent work that tells about class opposition and thinking about reality. This paper considers and analyzes the content, form and creation method of parasite, and discusses the continuous exploration and attempt of realistic film to image language under the demand of market and system, evolving into new aesthetic expression.
