Purchasing used school uniforms is to reduce environmental pollution and expenses, and to enhance a feeling of wearing satisfaction for school uniforms by improving size fitting. In order to improve reutilization of used school uniforms, uniform purchasing behavior, awareness of the reutilizing markets of used school uniforms, and the running conditions of reutilizing markets of used school uniforms were analyzed through the survey. The subjects are 741 students of middle and high schools in Seoul and Kyeonggi Province in this study. The results are as follows. First, the better-fitted uniforms students wear, the higher satisfaction they feel. Therefore, it is desirable for students to wear the uniforms which are well fitted for each student. Second, the higher aware of environment students are and the more environmental preservation behavior they do, the higher awareness of wearing used school uniforms they are. In order to enhance students' awareness of reutilizing markets of used school uniforms, it is important to educate students about the environment systematically and to promote recycling events. Third, the reasons for not purchasing used school uniforms are difficulty in access to the repurchasing market and the sanitary problem. Therefore, it is suggested that environmental education which boosts students' awareness of environment and reutilization events should be held to make reutilizing markets of used school uniforms vigorous. Moreover, it is necessary to make reutilizing markets easy to access and improve cleaning and repairing system.

Economic crisis in Korea since December 1997 had tremendously affected consumer behavior. This study examined consumer perception of the economic crisis and investigated its impacts on consumer ethnocentrism and purchase behaviors of foreign products. Two product categories of clothing and cosmetics were selected fro empirical testing. Data were obtained from a questionnaire survey to female consumers in Korea during September 1998, and 468 responses were analyzed. The consumer perception of the economic crisis(PCEP) scale was developed for the study. Correlation and regression analyses revealed: 1) the positive relationship between PCEP and consumer ethnocentrism(ETHN); 2) the positive effects of attitude toward foreign products(ATTI) on actual purchase of foreign products since the economic crisis(PB) and on purchase intention of foreign products(PI) for both clothing and cosmetics; 3) the negative effect of ETHN on PI for both product categories; and 4) the negative effects of PCEP on PB and PI for clothing.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clothing and cosmetics purchasing behaviors of middle aged male consumers according to objectified body consciousness. The subjects were 329 male adults aged from 40 to 59, and measuring instruments consisted of objectified body consciousness, clothing and cosmetics purchasing behaviors, and subjects' demographics attributions. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, cluster analysis, multiple response analysis, cross tabs analysis, and $x^2$ test using the SPSS program. The results were as follows. First, three factors (body shame, body surveillance, and control belief) emerged on objectified body consciousness. Second, subjects were divided into 2 groups (objectified group and non-objectified group) by objectified body consciousness. Third, these two consumer groups showed many differences regarding clothing and cosmetics purchasing behaviors. The objectified group showed many more positive clothing and cosmetics purchasing behaviors than the non-objectified group in terms of purchase motives, selection criteria, information source, purchase place, and purchase cost per month. These results show that objectified body consciousness is a useful variable for understanding adult male clothing and cosmetics purchasing behavior and to segment the male consumer market effectively.

Enterprise's executives who believe methodologies the theories prescribe consideration of consumer as rational and reasonable behavior. However, by recent investigation, consideration of consumer can be defined behavior that is occurred by sensibility. These consideration of consumer affect to a process that purchase a product, consumer's purchase decision process. Consumer make a purchasing decision with sensible criterion, respective of quality after all rather than various rational criterion like price, efficiency and usefulness. Brand image has sensible value to thought in the mind about a product and affect to purchase products. Hence building brand image through positive sensitivity is significant point in strengthening. Research from this point of view makes a content advance with improving product process along storytelling method which kind of affective, sensible communication way as a factor of strengthening brand image.

The purposes of this study were to categorize of pro-environmental clothing purchasing and disposal behaviors and to identify impacts of health and environment consciousness on pro-environmental clothing purchase and disposal behaviors. The subjects were homemakers (n=381), and they were segmented into LOHAS group, environment conscious group, unconscious group, and wellbeing group according to their health and environment consciousness. Older homemakers were included in LOHAS group and environment conscious group. And these homemakers performed pro-environmental clothing purchasing and disposal behaviors better than wellbeing group or unconscious group. Health consciousness was positively related with the second-hand clothing purchasing and recycling. Environment consciousness was positively related with clothing made with organic, natural or functional materials, or the second-hand clothing purchasing, and recycling of the second-hand clothing. There was a need to develop continuing education programs to strengthen homemakers' health and environment consciousness, or to upgrade their pro-environmental clothing purchase and disposal behaviors.

In this study, environmental knowledge and consciousness and eco-friendly behavior related to dietary life of middle school students were examined. Male and female students in Gyeongsan and Daegu Metropolitan City were selected for the study. Total of 490 questionnaires were delivered and collected, and 445 of them were analyzed by using SPSS Win Ver 12.0. Percentages of students who checked' don't know the answer' in 20 environmental knowledge assessment questions were $14.4\~41.8\%$, and those who gave correct answer to these responded to how the answer were $40.1\~93.3\%$. The average score of environmental consciousness was 3.45 and that of eco-friendly dietary behavior was 2.9 out of 5. When dietary behavior was divided by three categories, such as food purchasing, eating. and dish washing, the score of food purchasing behavior was 2.7, those of eating behavior and dish washing behavior were 3.0, 3.1, respectively. In the relationship between environmental knowledge. consciousness. and eco-friendly dietary behavior, there was significant positive correlation between howledge and consciousness, but no significant relation between consciousness and behavior. It showed that environmental knowledge and consciousness didn't always lead to eco-friendly dietary behavior. Therefore, education for practical betlavior must be emphasized even though the knowledge and consciousness education on environment are important.

To analyze the consumer's purchase pattern, we must consider a factor which is a cultural, social, individual, psychological and so on. If we consider the internal state by the consumer's purchase, Both the consumer's purchase action and the purchase factor can be predicted, so the corporation can use effectively in suitable goods development in a consumer's preference. These factors need a technology that treat uncertain information, because it is difficult to analyze by directly information processing. Therefore, bayesian network manages elements those the observation of inner state such as consumer's purchase is difficult. In addition, it is interpretable about data that the observation is impossible. In this paper, we examine the seller's know-how and the way of consumer's purchase to analyze consumer's purchase action pattern through goods purchase. Also, we compose the bayesian network based on the examined data, and propose the method that predicts purchase patterns. Finally, we remove the data including unnecessary attribute using the bayesian network, and analyze the consumer's Purchase pattern using Kohonen's SOM method.

공동구매는 ‘가격절감’, ‘위험감소’, ‘거래비용 절감’, ‘참여의식’등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 장점은 소비자들로 하여금 구매형태에 직ㆍ간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 ‘시간지연’, ‘제품다양성 부족’, ‘결제수단’, ‘상품디스플레이’등의 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점들 역시 소비자들로 하여금 구매형태에 직ㆍ간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 반면 한번 거래를 하게 되면 계속해서 거래를 한다는 의견과 앞으로도 거래를 할 생각을 가지고 있으며 주변의 다른 이들에게도 추천하겠다는 생각을 가지고 있었다. 장ㆍ단점과 관련하여 공동구매를 ‘재수용 하는가’와 ‘주변사람들에게 권유할 것인가’를 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 공동구매 특성이 공동구매를 수용함에 있어서 지속적인 수용을 할 것인가와 더불어 주변의 사람들에게 권장을 하는가를 파악하는데 있다. 본 연구에 대한 자료 수집방법은 D대학교의 재학생들을 대상으로 총 100부를 설문 조사하였으며, 수집된 설문지 중에서 불성실하게 응답한 설문지 8부를 제외한 총 92부를 유효한 설문으로 확보하였다. SPSS_WIN 10.0 패키지를 이용하였으며, 대상을 통하여 제품별(종류별) 선호도와 구매시(저가격, 안전성, 배송, 시간절감, 결제편리, 기타) 우선순위를 빈도분석 하였다. 또한 요인분석통한 타당도와 신뢰도 분석하고, 연구변수로 선정한 각 요소들을 이용하여 공동구매의 특성(가격대비 성능, 편리성, 결제안전, 다양한 제품 제공)에 따라 공동구매 재수용도와 주변사람 들에게 권유할 것인가에 영향력 정도를 파악하기 위해 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 조사결과 제품 선호도의 측면에서는 서적&음반, 의류&신발, 컴퓨터&주변기기 가장 선호하는 품목으로서 전자상거래와 거의 흡사하게 나타났으며, 구매시 가장 중요하게 느끼는 요소는 저렴한 가격과 안전&안정성으로 나타났다. 또한, 공동구매 특성에 대한 요인분석 결과로는 하나의 독립요인으로 존재하지만 결재안전, 다양한 제품제공의 요인들이 편리성 요인의 하부요인으로 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 공동구매 특성이 재수용과 주변사람 권유에 대한 결과로는 재수용적인 측면에서는 ‘가격대비 성능’과 ‘다양한 제품 제공’이 유의한 영향을 미칠 것으로 나타났으며, 주변사람 권유적인 측면에서는 ‘가격대비 성능’이 유의한 영향을 미칠 것으로 나타났고 재수용성과 다르게 ‘다양한 제품 제공’측면에서는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

The study, focused on social commerce food service consumers, attempted to test the relationship between perceived risk and price consciousness, and suggested that perceived risk and price consciousness, the the degree to which price is considered when purchasing goods, affect reuse intention. Through such test results, the study aimed to provide useful practical implications for establishing marketing strategies of companies related to food service social commerce, and those looking into behavioral intentions of social commerce using food service consumers. The subjects of the study were male and female residents of Korea over 2-years of age who have had some experience purchasing a dining out item through social commerce. The social commerce company selected for sampling was Coupang, which was the number 1 shopping App in 2014 based on the number of yearly visitors. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on respondents who had indicated that they had experience purchasing foodservice goods through Coupang. The results revealed that source risk, privacy risk, psychological risk, and time-loss risk had negative influences on reuse intention. However, social risk and financial risk did not exhibit any influences. Price consciousness had positive influences on reuse intention. The study explored perceived risk and price consciousness as elements to affect continuous use of social commerce of foodservice consumers.
