Purpose: This study was conducted to identify differences in dietary behaviors, dietary life consumer education related situation competencies, and dietary lifestyles between baby-boom and echo generations by gender. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2016 Food Consumption Behavior Survey, and 2,474 subjects (baby-boom generation 1,304; echo generation 1,170) were selected. Results: The baby-boom generation more frequently ate meals at home with family than the echo generation, whereas the echo generation had meals more frequently at cafeterias, cafes, bakeries, convenience stores and with friends or colleagues than the baby-boom generation. However, no significant differences in dietary life related consumer education were observed between generations, and experience with food related consumer education and food related promotional/events was very low in general. Baby-boomers received their primary dietary information from surrounding people, whereas the echo generation received it from broadcasting. The information use competence was lower for the baby-boom generation (3.29) than echo generation (3.35), although this difference was not significant. Healthy dietary life competence did not differ significantly, whereas the baby-boom generation showed a higher level of practice competence than the echo generation. Additionally, the baby-boom generation was more likely to pursuit health and less likely to be concerned with convenience and taste quality than the echo generation. Conclusion: The frequencies of meal eating places, drinking, and eating-out differed significantly between the two generations, while the participation ratios of food related consumer education/events, attitudes toward education, and information use competence did not. Additionally, knowledge regarding healthy dietary life competencies did not differ, whereas practice level showed significant differences between generations. Among dietary lifestyles, the baby-boom generation showed higher pursuit of health and lower pursuit of convenience and taste quality than the echo generation.

인구 및 가구구성원의 변화, 그에 따른 라이프 스타일의 변화로 국민의 주거환경이 다양한 형태로 변모하고 있어 기존과는 다른 형태의 새로운 정보제공 모델이 필요하게 되었다. 현대인의 바쁜 사회활동과 맞벌이 부부 및 노인인구의 증가는 우리의 가정에 점차 언제 어디서나 네트워크로 연결되어 누구나 안심하고 쉽게 주거공간 내에서 비즈니스, 건강, 교육, 오락 등의 활동을 제공할 수 있는 서비스에 대한 욕구를 확대시키고 있다. 또한 최근의 IT서비스 환경은 전화서비스, 인터넷접속서비스와 방송서비스가 융합되어 소위 "Triple Play" 서비스의 가치가 부상하면서 홈네트워크 서비스라는 새로운 패러다임으로의 전환을 예고하고 있다.(중략)

오늘날 급속한 과학기술의 발달과 더불어 우리들은 새로운 미디어 환경의 변화를 통해 지금까지와는 매우 다른 커뮤니케이션 양식을 목격하고 있다. Harvey(1990)의 시간과 공간의 응축(time-space compression)이란 개념을 굳이 빌리지 않더라도 현대사회의 커뮤니케이션 양식은 이전의 것들과는 전혀 다른 양상을 보이고 있다. 전통적인 4대 매체에 이어 제5의 매체로 자리잡고 있는 인터넷이라는 새로운 매체에 대한 학문적 관심이 필요한 이유는 인터넷이 기존의 매체들과는 본질적으로 다른 구별되는 속성을 지니고 있기 때문이다.

As we enter an era of emotional and endlessly competitive society, there has been a lot of changes happening to the styles and images of men, traditionally associated with strength and power. Today, the media is giving information on today's trendy men's styles and images to meet the growing demand by consumers, and giving appropriate gains in the process to all - both information providers and consumers. Generally speaking, the cover of a magazine represents the concept and image of the magazine. The cover model is closely tied with the symbolic image of the magazine, the current times, and what the general public wants. Therefore, research on the cover models of a lifestyle magazine has significance in that the current style trends will be able to be understood directly. The present research investigated the sexual images of men's magazine cover models. In carrying out the research, the sexual images were classified into the following: homosexual, cross sexual, metro sexual, and uber sexual. The research findings showed that uber sexual is the dominant sexual image in men's magazines in Korea, followed by metro sexual. In conclusion, the findings suggest an expansion of the traditional image of men, happening with the changes in traditional sex roles.

최근 사회적으로 IoT(Internet of Things, 사물인터넷)가 떠오르며 LBS(위치기반서비스) 시장에 대한 이슈로 인해 근거리 위치 인식 기술을 적용한 Beacon(비콘)이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이러한 관심에도 불구하고 아직 현재까지는 실질적으로 제공되는 서비스가 다양하지 않다는 문제가 있다. 우리는 본 논문에서 사용자의 라이프 스타일에 따라 다양하게 이용할 수 있는 비콘 활용 애플리케이션을 기획하였다. 이 방법은 비콘을 통해 모든 사람들에게 일괄적으로 같은 서비스를 제공하는 것이 아니라 사용자마다 자신이 지정한 다른 서비스를 제공하여 기존에 문제가 되었던 상기 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 제안하는 방법은 지정한 곳 근처에 가면 자신이 저장한 메모 알림을 주는 기능, 위치를 찾아 주는 기능, 일정 거리 내로 접근한 사용자의 정보를 기록하는 기능 등이 있어 이를 통해 유기견 방지, 아이의 하교 확인 등의 다양한 서비스를 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 효과적일 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 제안하는 방법의 기획의도 및 동기, 관련 연구 및 응용, 제안하는 방법, 예상 콘텐츠 시나리오, 기대효과, 결론을 소개하고자 한다.
