다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper intends to classify the constituents of community into locality, social interaction and community solidarity and presents reorganization and development of online community such as Electronic Neighborhood(called as chonaikai) and Internet Neighborhood(called as Bansanghoi) and a comparative analysis in these three community factors of Japan and Korea is performed. The results of this study are as follows. First, It is discovered that Electronic Neighborhood and Internet Neighborhood based on the region are increasing as Japanese and Korean people have the increase of Internet use in common in the local aspect. Appearance of a new local community with SNS can be the result of the paradigm shift for community revitalization. There are about 518 web sites that are closed or not updated for a long time and the number of those web sites is relatively high in Japan. This means that those web sites are not maintained in cyberspace continuously, so they seem to try to revitalize online local community by teaching and sharing information to narrow information gap or digital literacy in Japan. Also, the new local community of Japan is complementary to the existing community by maintaining traditional local unit area or boundary. However, in Korea, the local community builds up a new form of community such as an apartment house. Second, with respect to social interaction, the case of exchanging information and forming solidarity through online communities or clubs complements the existing human relationships. Especially, this reflects the phenomenon of forming human relationships mainly made by common interest in modern society. This kind of social interaction can have a great ripple effect because it is based on the local relationship. In Korea, ANABADA is an example of social interaction that shows the present economic and social circumstances and it is considered as one thing of resources recycling for ecological and symbiotic sense representing modern fine customs. Third, the communities in both countries commonly require us to participate actively for community solidarity through posting information on local area issues. In Korea, people express and join in the online local community for the community sense by posting their comments on the current local issues.
