목적 : 본 연구는 경추 척수손상 장애인이 스마트 홈 기술을 통한 일상생활의 변화를 경험하는 과정을 탐구하여, 이 기술 이 기존의 가정환경수정 프로그램에 어떻게 통합할 수 있을지에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 연구대상자는 경추 척수손상 장애인 1명으로, 질적 연구 방법 중 사례연구를 통해 스마트 홈 기술 사용 전후의 변화와 경험을 심층적으로 이해하였다. 인터뷰는 2021년 7월 초기 인터뷰 1회, 8월 중간 인터뷰 1회, 12월 스마트 홈 사용 경험 인터뷰 1회를 대면으로 30분~1시간 동안 진행되었다. 자료 분석은 개방 코딩, 범주화, 범주 확인으로 진행되는 반복 적 비교분석법을 사용하였다. 결과 : 자료 분석 결과 ‘스마트 홈 적용 환경’, ‘스마트 홈 사용 경험’, ‘스마트 홈 사용으로 겪은 변화’라는 세 가지 주제가 도출되었다. 이 주제들은 연구 참여자가 경험한 ‘주요 스마트 홈 기술’, ‘적용한 스마트 기기’, ‘스마트 홈에 대한 기대’, ‘주관적 실제’, ‘내적 변화’, ‘독립적인 일상생활’이라는 개념으로 정리하였다. 도출된 개념은 15개의 의미 단위와 51개의 중심의미로 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구는 스마트 홈 기술이 경추 척수손상 장애인의 일상에 긍정적인 변화를 불러오며, 장애인 삶의 질 향상에 뒷 받침하는 중요한 기초자료를 제공한다. 스마트 홈의 임상 적용 가능성에 대한 새로운 시각을 제공하고,

The purpose of this study is to suggest a plan to improve the level of acceptance of related technologies and the transition to smart factories of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises by using ‘technology readiness’ and ‘integrated technology acceptance model’. To this end, the research hypothesis was verified by collecting questionnaire data from 130 small and medium- sized manufacturing companies in Korea and conducting path analysis. First, optimism affects performance expectations, social influence, and facilitation conditions, innovation affects performance expectations, effort expectations, and social influence, discomfort affects performance expectations, social influence, and facilitation conditions, and anxiety affects effort expectations, social influence and facilitation conditions. has been proven to affect Finally, performance expectations, effort expectations, social influence, and facilitation conditions were verified to have a significant positive effect on the intention to accept technology.

Smart healthcare clothing combines IoT, new technology, and clothing construction to perform specific care functions, and its utility has been expanding rapidly within aging and diversified societies. However, the related market remains at an early stage of development due to limited regulation, lack of consumer awareness, and the need for not only technical development but promotion plans for potential users. This paper aims to analyze factors influencing purchase intention for smart healthcare clothing with biosignal monitoring, including variables in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), clothing attributes, health-related lifestyle factors, and fashion innovativeness. A survey was conducted on a sample of 300 males and 300 females ranging in age from 20 to 50 years, and data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The results show that perceived usefulness, perceived aesthetic attributes, health responsibility, and fashion innovativeness were overall significant predictors of using smart healthcare clothing. Additionally, perceived ease of use and physical activity in the male subsample, and perceived compatibility within the female group, also had significant effects. Furthermore, age was a determining factor; for subjects in the 30s age group, perceived usefulness, compatibility, and health responsibility had significant positive associations. The results of this study can provide basic guidelines for designing merchandising plans to expand user acceptance of smart healthcare clothing.

The objective of this study is to establish a direction for smart aquaculture technology development in the Republic of Korea through patent analysis and a demand survey of experts and fishermen. The patent analysis was conducted using Wisdomain for patents in the Republic of Korea, the United States of America, Europe, Japan, and China from 2005 to 2016. This study conducted an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey of experts in the fields of fishery, marine, and ICT among others. Furthermore, it carried out a demand survey of 85 fishermen in Jeonnam and Jeju. The smart aquaculture technology market has moderately grown in the Republic of Korea until recently, and it is expected to expand further because of the expansion of national investment in the smart aquaculture field. The priority evaluation results for developing smart aquaculture technology show that land-based aquaculture has a higher priority than sea-based aquaculture. Of the fishermen that responded, 84% said that they need to introduce smart aquaculture technology to solve problems in the supply and demand of manpower, labor cost, and maintenance expenses. The direction of development should lie in developing biological and environment-based standard aquaculture models to spread high-tech systems and vitalize the aquaculture industry. This requires continual training of human resources in the smart aquaculture field.
