As time passed, related researches wereaccumulated a lot quantitatively and in particular, more diverse and in-depthresearches are conducted through a case study recently. However, there are 35Appointment Cancellation Villages currently and there is no research focused onfailure cases even though every project in these villages was not successful.Consequently, this study identified the factors which affect the outcomes ofInformation Network Village and analyzed how these factors were influenced onactual projects in the villages with appointment cancellation. Findings are asfollows.
