The government has implemented operating the bus information terminal (hereinafter, 'BIT') to use by building it at a major bus station to solve the problem of traffic congestion. Busan Metropolitan City has been continuously expanding the installation of 'BIT' since 2003. However, there are few research on the factor to use and satisfaction survey on 'BIT' from the perspective of the users. This study, in an effort to inquire into the 'BIT' utilization factor and its vitalization plan, conducted a face to face survey of 172 citizens who had the experience in the 'BIT'. The result of the data analysis showed that usability, convenience, and availability were the critical factors for a BIT use. In addition, the general intention to use 'BIT' was found to be very high as much as 90.7%. The contributions of this study are as follows. The academic contributions is that it proved the relationship between usability, convenience and the intention to use suggested by the information technology acceptance model is supported even in case of 'BIT.' For the practitioners this study provides ground data for a local government to make a plan of a BIT extension.

We survey the software faults according to the software characteristics, so we can use it to make a software testcases. We divide the software fault according to six characteristics, functionality, usability, reliability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability. We analyze the software faults to find the common factors according to the software products, also we survey the number of faults according to six characteristics. We propose the method of weight application using the relative comparison of the number of faults.

온라인 사용자 조사는 전통적인 사용자 조사 기법의 단점인 높은 사용자 평가 비용, 긴 조사 기간, 평가 장소의 제약 및 사용자 대표성 등을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 대안으로 인식되고 있다. 온라인 특성 상 동시에 수백명의 응답자가 접근 가능하기 때문에 조사 기간을 단축 할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 상대적으로 많은 응답자의 정보를 수집할 수 있으며, 응답자가 편리한 공간에서 응답자 스스로 질문을 읽고 응답하기 때문에 생각할 여유를 더 많이 제공한다는 장점이 있어 전통적 사용자 조사 기법의 대안으로 많이 활용되고 있다. 특히 시스템의 발전으로 실제 제품 사용 사례를 사진으로 보여주거나 사용자가 직접 조사 시스템상의 에뮬레이터 활용을 통해 직접 제품사용과 유사한 경험을 제공하고 있어 평가 영역 또한 기존 직접 평가와 거의 유사하게 확장되고 있다. 하지만, 설문 응답자에 대한 신원확인 및 온라인 상에서 성실과 활동 수행 등 온라인 사용자 조사시의 신뢰도를 보장한 수 없다는 점과 온 라인 사용자 조사의 수행 결과가 기존의 직접 평가수행 결과와 동일한지에 대한 보장이 없다는 것이 온라인조사시스템 활용의 가장 큰 제약이다. 본 연구를 통해 온라인 사용자 조사의 효용을 높일 수 있는 접근 방법을 제시하기 위하여, 먼저 온라인 설문 조사에 적합한 휴대폰의 사용성 문제 특성을 정의하고, 특성에 대해 효과적인 조사 결과를 도출하기 위한 고려 요소들을 기술하다. 이와 더불어 온라인 설문 조사가 기존 전통적 조사의 대안이 아닌 새로운 효용을 가진 조사 기법으로서 활용 가능성을 주기적으로 제시함으로써, 온라인 사용자 조사에 적합한 설문 항목의 특성을 정의 및 확장하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was testing the attitude differences on common space management between expecting residents and residents in high rise mixed-use residential buildings(MURB). Research method was social survey with questionnaire from 176 residents and 67 expecting residents by snow balling sampling. Research results were 1)residents want mostly 'convenience', but expecting residents want mostly 'amenity' from MURB environment 2)residents and expecting residents showed statistically significant attitude differences on willingly to pay, amount to pay and paying method about common spaces & facilities. 3)above two groups showed statistically significant difference on opening the common spaces & facilities to the community. 4)residents showed higher than expecting residents on impact degree of common spaces & facilities to neighborhood intimacy. 5)most of residents and expecting residents had an idea of 1-2 hour per week volunteer service at common spaces & facilities. Conclusively, survey on expecting residents's opinion might be needed to enhance the usability of common spaces and facilities in MURB. After the residents moving in, periodical evaluation about usability of each spaces & facilities needed to remodel common spaces.

A safety helmet is considered the last gear to protect workers from harmful and dangerous events occurring on industrial sites. Recently, interest in the importance of personal protective equipment design reflecting individual characteristics has been emphasized to improve usability and convenience. However, it has been found that if it is inconvenient to wear or has poor work efficiency, it will not be used well or will be used incorrectly. In this study, an investigation was performed with 35 questions, direct observation, and intensive interviews of construction workers to determine the inconvenience and problems of wearing safety helmets. Moreover, managers of 9 construction sites in 6 cities were asked about the performance and design of safety helmets. As a positive answer, it was found that the brim (awning) of the safety helmet was shortened to give the safety glasses a light-shielding function. In addition, an upward adjustment all-in-one type safety helmet was requested. On the other hand, it was revealed that negative answers felt uncomfortable due to the brim (awning) on the front of the helmet. Based on the survey results, a new helmet model suitable for construction site activities was presented, and wearability improvement determinants were discovered through performance and design improvement.

This study was designed to make valuable suggestions for the development of environmental education(EE) teaching materials through teachers' and students' opinions. In the summer of 2005, an opinionnaire was sent to 1,749 secondary school EE teachers and 270 teachers of them answered. One hundred and six middle school students and 196 high school students in Kyunggi area were also participated in this survey. The opinionnaire in this study was based on the six standards, fairness and accuracy, depth, emphasis on skill building, action orientation, instructional soundness, and usability, developed by NAAEE(1998). Most teachers were totally dependent on textbooks in their teaching EE. They evaluated current EE textbooks most positively in the perspective of 'fairness and accuracy', whereas they evaluated them most negatively in the perspective of 'usability'. The problems of EE textbooks were differently recognized by teachers and students. The lack of contents stimulating students' interest was considered as the most serious problem of EE textbooks by students. Simultaneously, it was considered as the least serious problem of EE textbooks by teachers. Both EE teachers and students expect the future EE textbooks would consist of proper contents to reflect EE characteristics.
