임종건 한국체육학회 2015 International journal of human movement science Vol.9 No.1

The purpose of this study is to expose the factors that may influence students’ motivation or choice to attend their institution’s intercollegiate athletic events in Korea. The survey was distributed and collected on campus from a large suburban university in Korea during the fall semester to the game attending students. A total of 164 completed questionnaires was returned and used as data for this study. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation was performed on the 22 items of factors that motivated respondents to attend intercollegiate athletic events and this analysis yielded a six factor solution. These six factors were named Competitive Factor, Facility Factor, Entertainment Factor, Social Factor, Identification Factor, and Promotional Factor. According to the survey, in terms of individual factor, ‘the amount of speed displayed’ was ranked as the most important factor which influenced students to attend events followed by ‘location convenience’, ‘cleanliness of stadium’, and ‘condition of stadium’. After all, the question still remains as to what factors influence students’ motivation to attend events and how this market should be developed. Nevertheless, the evidence shown through the results and the discussions permit several suggestions such as conducting separate studies within the institution in order to promote its athletics, expanding marketing strategies, and more. The nature of this study does not allow the readers to observe students’ purchase or post-purchase feelings. Instead, it explores the possible factors which may influence the purchase cycle regarding individual choice of athletic events. Recommendations and suggestions based on the findings were presented later in the study.

The Positive Impact of Commercialization of Intercollegiate Athletics on Institutions of Higher Education

임종건 한국체육학회 2015 International journal of human movement science Vol.9 No.2

Over several decades, a significant number of books and articles have addressed the growing concern regarding commercialization of intercollegiate athletics and the resulting effect on colleges and universities (Sperber, 1990; Duderstadt, 2003). Most of the research has indicated that college sport should be reformed and cite aspects such as the facilities “arms race”, millionaire coaches, increasing professionalization of athletes, and mounting media pressures. Contradictory to those concerns, studies have shown that there are a multitude of benefits directly related to the athletic program that can be realized by universities (Goff, 2000; Roy and Graeff, 2008; Stinson and Howard, 2004). This paper will focus on the positive impact on colleges and universities derived from college athletic programs. For the purposes of this paper, the positive impact to the university is divided into three areas: (1) enrollment, that includes increased enrollment or admissions applications of universities due to the athletic success and increased student quality based on SAT scores; (2) exposure, which includes media coverage such as number of articles about the institution that provide positive perception and (3) contribution, which includes increased giving to the university due to intercollegiate athletic success. Current evidence indicates that athletic success and participation in a college sport league provides several benefits to the university. Most contents rely on existing studies, as well as public press accounts. It is suggested based on the results that the negative aspects often discussed in the previous studies can easily overshadow the many positive contributions that intercollegiate athletics programs provide for the institution.

체육과 무용의 공기어 변화 양상에 대한 코퍼스 연구

임종건 한국체육무용과학회 2025 Journal of Sport and Dance Science Vol.5 No.2

본 연구는 체육과 무용이라는 두 영역의 언어적 특성과 담론 구조를 실증적으로 분석하여, 두 영역이 개념적으로 어떻게 구분되면서도 상호 연결될 수 있는지를 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 20년간 조선일보, 중앙일보, 동아일보, 한겨례신문의 기사 데이터를 기반으로 체육과 무용에 관한 관심의 추이와 공기어 패턴을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 체육과 무용은 문화, 예술, 미술, 음악 등 일부 공통 공기어를 공유하지만, 각 영역의 상위 공기어는 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 체육은 대회, 생활, 시설, 장관, 교육, 학교, 선수, 국회 등 제도화와 공공영역, 정책과 밀접하게 연관된 용어가 두드러졌으며, 무용은 공연, 현대, 연극, 정통, 작품, 장르, 창작, 문학, 축제, 궁중 등 예술적 창작과 문화적 가치 중심의 용어가 주로 나타났다. 이러한 차이는 체육이 건강, 교육, 공공복지 등 실용적이고 사회적 가치에 초점을 두는 반면, 무용은 예술적 표현과 미학적 경험, 문화적 전통의 계승 등 내재적이고 문화적 가치에 중점을 두고 있음을 시사한다. 또한, 체육 관련 용어의 빈도는 교육과정 개정이나 정부 정책 변화에 따라 변동하는 경향을 보였으나, 무용 관련 용어는 정책 변화와 무관하게 점진적으로 감소하는 추세를 나타내어 무용의 사회적 위상이 약화되고 있음을 시사하였다. Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the the linguistic characteristics and discourse structures of the domains of physical education and dance. This study aims to explore how these two fields are conceptually distinguished yet potentially interconnected. Methods By using Trend 21 corpus, which contains 20 years of articles from four major Korean newspapers, the research examines trends in public interest and patterns of co-occurring keywords related to physical education and dance. Results The analysis reveals that while both fields share some common keywords such as culture, art, fine arts, and music, their top-ranking co-occurring words differ significantly. Physical education is closely associated with terms like competition, life, facility, minister, education, school, athlete, and National Assembly, reflecting its institutionalization and strong ties to public policy and infrastructure. In contrast, dance is primarily linked to keywords such as performance, modern, theater, traditional, work, genre, creation, literature, festival, and court, emphasizing its focus on artistic creation and cultural value. Conclusions As implications, this study re-examines the diverse values and meanings of physical activity through linguistic discourse analysis and suggests that integrating physical education and dance could expand educational and social paradigms.

‘도시행정’과 ‘도시정책’에 대한 공기어 변화 양상: 신문기사 분석을 중심으로

임종건 한국도시행정학회 2025 도시 행정 학보 Vol.38 No.1

본 연구는 2000년부터 2019년까지 20년간 조선일보, 중앙일보, 동아일보, 한겨레신문의 기사로 구축된 ‘물결21’ 코퍼스를 활용하여, 도시행정과 도시정책 간의 상호작용을 키워드 및 공기어 분석을 통해 탐색하였다. 분석 결과, 두 영역은 “서울시”, “시민”, “전문가”, “도시계획” 등의 공통된 공기어를 공유하면서도 차별적인 특성을 보였다. 도시행정은 “복지”, “문화”, “교통”, “의료” 등 실용적이고 서비스 지향적인 성격을 띠는 반면, 도시정책은 “환경”, “개발”, “연구”, “참여”와 같은 전략적이고 미래 지향적인 요소가 강조되었다. 또한, 지난 20년간 도시 거버넌스의 패러다임이 인프라 중심에서 사람 중심으로 변화했으며, 증거 기반 의사결정과 데이터 활용이 점점 중요해지고, 행정 경계를 넘어선 광역적 접근이 필요하다는 점이 확인되었다. 향후 도시 거버넌스의 발전을 위해서는 정책과 행정의 유기적 통합, 시민 중심 설계의 강화, 데이터 기반 의사결정의 확대가 핵심 과제로 떠오르고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 분석을 통해, 도시정책과 행정 실행 간의 순환적 관계에 대한 이해가 복잡한 도시 문제 해결과 지속가능한 도시 환경 구축에 필수적임을 시사한다. This study examines the interplay between urban policy and administration using keyword and co-occurrence word analysis from the ‘Trend 21’ corpus, which comprises 20 years of newspaper texts (2000-2019) from major Korean dailies. Both domains share common co-occurrence words such as “Seoul city”, “citizens”, “experts” and “urban planning”. However, urban administration is characterized by practical and service-oriented terms like “welfare”, “culture”, “transportation” and “medical care”, while urban policy exhibits more strategic and future-oriented features with words like “environment”, “development”, “research” and “participation”. The analysis reveals that over 20 years, urban governance has transitioned from an infrastructure-centered to a people-centered paradigm, with increasing importance placed on evidence-based decision-making and data utilization, while metropolitan approaches transcending administrative boundaries have become increasingly significant. Closer integration of policy and administration, strengthening citizen-centered design, and expanding data-driven decision-making are emerging as key challenges for future urban governance. In conclusion, this study suggests that understanding the circular relationship between urban policy formation and administrative implementation is essential for addressing complex urban issues and creating sustainable, resilient urban environments.

임종건 한국체육학회 2014 International journal of human movement science Vol.8 No.2

The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of administrators of athletic programs at a single university in Korea and measure their challenges to motivate student attendance at intercollegiate athletic events. The research design included in-depth interviews and the data was analyzed using Nvivo 10 software program. Interviews with six individuals who are engaged in athletics, which include an athletic director, an assistant director, a director of public relations, and three administrative assistants in the athletic department, were conducted. According to the interviews, the challenges which interviewees perceive to influence student attendance were weak public relations, small budget, lack of facilities, limited number of media sources, and imbalanced favor in athletics. Recommendations and suggestions based on the findings were presented later in the study.

This study explores the potential applications of blockchain technology in the sports industry and suggests future directions based on in-depth interviews with blockchain company CEOs. The analysis identified 14 meaning units and integrated them into three main components: 'NFT business,' 'operational effectiveness,' and 'fan-driven sports business.' Participants viewed NFTs as a core element, predicting the expansion of blockchain-based digital asset markets in sports. Blockchain's security features, such as decentralization and transparency, are expected to enhance ticketing, prevent illegal sales, and enable smart contracts for athlete management. Additionally, blockchain may transform media distribution, audience engagement, and copyright protection, potentially shifting sports fans from passive consumers to active stakeholders.
