  • This paper seeks to interrogate the very assumption of "sociality" in social media at a conceptual level and substantiate it with the help of information collected on aged people's use of conventional media $vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ so called "social media" from the field work. Although global literature has written the obituary of mass media and promoted the "sociality" of social media, one needs to critically engage with such statement. Such statements have been an outcome of the established status of the "post broadcast" model of media where conventional media is in existence for some time and accessible to everyone in society. Further, this paper seeks to explore the interplay of new media in the life of the aged population in select areas of Kolkata city in the state of West Bengal, India. There are few studies on the ageing population's use of new media in the Indian context. While many of the studies reveal the new media literacy among the youth, this is unimportant as both the new media and the youth are relatively young as a field of research in media studies in India. What is missed in the earlier studies is, how new media plays an important function in the life of the aged population. How do older adults engage with the skilling and deskilling process of media literacy in their everyday life? And finally, do new media provide an extension to their on-going social relations? With the help of substantive details, the present study addresses the aforementioned queries.

  • This study examined the subcomponents of the local environment that have an important influence on the life satisfaction of people living in single-person households and analyzed how the causal relationship between these variables differs between generations. Specifically, the local environment was classified into the following subcomponents: convenience, comfort, safety, healthcare, and neighborhood relationships. This study analyzed the data of 3,260 respondents from single-person households in the 2020 Residents' Quality of Life Survey in Gyeonggi Province. As a result, it was found that the perception of all subcomponents of the local environment had a positive effect on the life satisfaction of people in single-person households. The effect of neighborhood relationships was relatively large compared to other subcomponents. Next, the influencing factors on life satisfaction of people in single-person households showed differences between generations, which were defined by this study as youth (under age 35), middle-aged (35-64), and elderly (65 and older). Convenience and safety for the youth group and neighborhood relationship for the middle-aged group were most important. The elderly group was most affected by healthcare. The proportion of single-person households worldwide, including in Korea, is gradually increasing, and considering this, this study provides important policy implications.

  • Cognizant of the role of the family in influencing health behaviors among its young members, especially during the time of COVID-19 in the Philippines where stay-at-home measures were in place from March 2020 until March 2022, this study sought to determine the predictive relationship of family relationship to COVID-19 preventive behavioral intention and pandemic fatigue among young Filipino undergraduates. A total of 1,665 undergraduate students participated in this cross-sectional online survey. Findings reveal that family cohesion significantly increases COVID-19 prevention behavioral intention among undergraduates. Moreover, students who report high levels of conflict in the family are less likely to comply with preventive behaviors and exhibit higher levels of pandemic fatigue.

  • 최근 서비스 디자인 프로세스를 적용한 국민 참여 정부 정책 결정 모델들이 늘어나고 있다. 과거 공급자 위주의 정책결정 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 정책 실행 수용의지가 낮아 정책의 효과가 반감된다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 국민 참여 정책 서비스디자인을 2014년부터 매년 행정자치부에서 국민디자인단 이라는 명칭으로 진행 중이다. 공유 마을은 공유경제를 실행하기 위한 넓은 의미에서의 마을공동체로 마을 구성원간의 공유 의식을 높이고 상생과 협력을 통해 지속가능성을 유지하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 기존 공유마을의 문제점을 파악하고 서비스디자인 방법 툴킷(Toolkit)을 활용하여 도시가 가지고 있는 공유마을, 도시재생, 청년취업 정착에 대한 3가지 문제들을 복합적으로 해결하는 방법을 제시하였다. 그러나 본 연구는 연구 대상의 인과관계가 광범위하고 해결방법 제시에 따른 각각의 대상이 가지는 결과 만족도를 검증하기 위한 만족도 조사 및 연구기간의 한계가 있어 향후 지속적인 검증과 문제점 개선을 통한 후속 연구가 필요하다.

  • With the decline in the college student population and the increase in the youth unemployment rate, the university began to be interested in starting a business. Under the initiative of the government, the start-up support project was reflected in the university's educational programs, which led to the university students receiving various start-up support benefits. In response to the expansion of entrepreneurship education, various entrepreneurship education programs and support programs were applied in line with the government's efforts to start college students. As a result, students' entrepreneurial competence and willingness to start up increased. College student entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs are increasing. The increase of university student start-up companies is taking place in the entrepreneurial education environment within the university, and the support of university, community, and start-up support institutions for university student start-up, the starting point of the start-up ecosystem, is paying off. It can be seen that the youth entrepreneurship ecosystem based on university entrepreneurship education is in place. The university supports the entire business process from idea development, such as start-up classes, start-up club support, patent application support, prototype development support, and investment linkage. However, there is a university that develops and operates a unique program for each school and a university that does not. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an education program that can produce efficient results. The purpose of this study is to support the start-up program of the university to be the consumer-centered start-up support.

  • Radicalisation has become an important issue for the Kyrgyz Republic with an increasing number of individuals leaving the country for conflict zones. The government of the Kyrgyz Republic adopted a number of policies to prevent radicalisation and violent extremism among youth. One of these measures is piloting a new subject, titled, History of Religious Culture, (История религиозной культуры) in public schools. The analysis in this paper aims to explore the experiences of teachers, who have taught the new class. The article also examines any differences in the level of resilience of pupils in schools, piloting and not piloting the new subject, towards radicalisation and violent extremism. Data used in this article comes from a survey with 760 adolescents across public schools in six regions of the country and key informant interviews with teachers who have taught the new class. Qualitative findings showed a positive experience of teachers who reported expanding their pupils' and their own knowledge of various religions. Quantitative findings indicate that the new class, History of Religious Culture, may have had a positive impact on violence-related beliefs in pilot schools that reported views less supportive of violence. The study concludes that the government's response to radicalisation and violent extremism has expanded beyond a security approach by including education. This, however, poses a risk of securitising education.

  • This study was conducted for the purpose of empirically analyzing the effects of adolescents' relationships with major adults as protective factors for smartphone addiction. Specifically, the study compared the discriminatory effects of adolescents' relationships with their parents, school teachers, and educational institute teachers on smartphone addiction among elementary, middle, and high school students in Korea. Analyzing the data of the 2019 Korean Children & Youth Happiness Index (N=7,454), it was found that relationships with adults were significant factors in explaining the level of smartphone addiction even after controlling for the influences of adolescents' demographics, usage time, and friendship factors. For elementary school students, good relationships with their mothers and school teachers decreased the risk of smartphone addiction. On the other hand, in the case of middle school students, only a good relationship with father functioned as a protective factor. Good relationships with their fathers and institute teachers decreased the level of high school students' smartphone addiction. Based on these findings, this study discussed on the development of programs and policies for prevention and intervention of adolescents' smartphone addiction and provided suggestions for follow-up research in the future.

  • Drawing on mere exposure effect, we proposed that more exposure to a city, as measured by the number of channels of exposure, would increase familiarity, city image, and intention to visit that city. We conducted a survey of university students in seven Asian countries, asking them about a total of 14 cities, at least one from each of the surveyed countries. Exposure was found to be a significant antecedent and was most powerful when mediated by familiarity. Some types of exposure were stronger than others. Personal exposure, in the form of having visited a city or knowing someone who has, was the strongest type of exposure, with more than double the effect of media exposure. Social media, which is difficult to classify as either personal or media, was assessed separately and had a much smaller effect. The mere exposure effect exists whether the intention to visit a city is related to pleasure (tourism) or business.

  • 본 연구에서는 거품경제의 붕괴 이후 일본 노동시장의 변화를 개관하고, 점차 늘어나는 청년실업대책으로써 2004년 중앙정부와 지방자치단체가 공동으로 실시한 $\ulcorner$Job-cafe사업$\lrcorner$을 분석하였다. 그리고 지역정책으로서의 노동정책은 앞으로 어떻게 수립되고 실시되어야 하는가를 논의하였다. 일본에서는 거품경제의 붕괴 이후 청년 실업률이 상승하여 $\ulcorner$신졸무업(新卒無業)$\lrcorner$$\ulcorner$NEET$\lrcorner$가 급격하게 증가하였다. 그 결과 졸업 후에 원활하게 취직할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 $\ulcorner$Job-cafe사업$\lrcorner$을 실시하게 되었다. $\ulcorner$Job-cafe사업$\lrcorner$은 후생성의 구직정보 서비스, 경제산업성의 취직인턴정보 서비스, 문부과학성의 취업알선 서비스를 통합하여, 지방자치단체가 주도적으로 추진하는 사업이다. 정부의 각 부처별로 실시하던 사업을 지방자치단체가 통합하여, 이러한 서비스를 한 자리에서 젊은이들에게 제공하는, 소위$\ulcorner$One Stop Service$\lrcorner$이다. $\ulcorner$One Stop Service$\lrcorner$에 대해서는 편리성에 있어서는 좋은 평가를 받고 있으나 그 이용자 수와 소개 건수 등 지나치게 실적을 중시하고 있다는 비판도 동시에 받고 있다. 마지막으로 $\ulcorner$지역노동시장$\lrcorner$의 개념, 혹은 고용정책을 실시함에 있어서 의미 있는 공간단위와 보다 구체적인 구직에 관한 연구의 필요성에 대하여 논의하였다.
