2000년대 중반부터 본격적으로 북한에 유입된 남한 미디어는 북한 사회변화의 주요한 지표가 된다. 국내 언론 보도 및 탈북민들의 증언을 통해 폐쇄된 북한 사회에서도 남한 영상물을 시청한다는 사실이 확인되면서 이 분야에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 문제는 북한 내외 부정보 확산 현상을 어떻게 해석하느냐의 여부다. 북한에서 외부정보를 접한 북한 주민의 의식과 사회현상 더 나아가 북한체제 변화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가의 문제이다. 본 연구는 김정은 시대에 한국에 입국한 탈북민을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 북한 내 외부정보 실태를 파악하고, 이들의 인식변화 과정을 분석한다. 의식변화 추이는 남한과 남한 사람, 북한 정권에 대한 인식, 민주주의와 인권 등의 세부항목별로 조사가 이루어졌다. 북한에서의 남한 미디어 이용실태를 바탕으로 향후 남북한 통일과정에서 북한주민의 ‘마음 얻기’를 위한 미디어 활용방안을 모색한다.

This study empirically analyzes the effect of IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity on their production period reduction and productivity improvement generated from technology development. This research constructs a mediating model based on the open innovation perspective and tests it with the 138 samples of South Korean IT SME ventures based on the ordinary least squares regression. This research is expected to make a good contribution by shedding a new light on the following three points about the critical role of IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity in increasing their production period reduction and productivity improvement generated from technology development which has scarcely been illuminated in the extant studies in the field of the management of technology for SMEs. First, IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity positively influences their production period reduction. Second, the external information network diversity positively influences IT SMEs’ ventures’ productivity improvement. Third, IT SME ventures’ production period reduction partially mediates the influence of IT SME ventures’ external network diversity on their productivity improvement. These three fresh points are expected to provide useful theoretical and practical implications. Related to the theoretical implication, this research provides a fresh implication that IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity positively influences not only their production period reduction but also productivity improvement generated from technology development. Concerning the practical implication, this study suggests that the CEOs in IT SME ventures make strategic efforts to use more diverse external information sources in order to increase their production period reduction and productivity improvement generated from technology development.

Rural amenity resources consist of natural, cultural and social resources. Some of resources have been surveyed in other institutes and organizations and information system about these resources has been constructed. Integrating with information of existing system or database is helpful to produce useful rural amenity resources information to users. This integration of distributed information is based on semantic integration. In this paper, we used ontology for semantic integration and introduced the method of external information integration using ontology. We designed ontology table to represent ontology in database and integrated distributed information using ontology. To examine the improvement of information service efficiency and the applicability, rural amenity resources information and tourist attraction information database were constructed and integrated. Also, the information service efficiency with information integration was evaluated using recall ratio and compared to the information service efficiency without information integration.
