This paper aims to analyze the satisfaction level of people for the different types of tree burial sites, in order to suggest directions for the policy to revitalize tree burials. For the purpose of this study, the tree burial sites were classified into four types, and we conducted a questionnaire, targeting 414 visitors to the different case sites. Through the comparative analysis among the case sites, this study found that people prefer the public tree burial sites to the private ones, and most people liked the type of tree burials best created in a natural forest among the public sites. Based on these results, this study suggested that the policy should be focused on the revitalization of public tree burial sites created especially in natural forests in order to satisfy the preference of people. Through the analysis of the questions regarding the general citizens' awareness of tree burials, this study found the improvement measures are required for convenience facilities, low satisfaction for usage charge, low credibility for private tree burial sites, and strong demands to create stable growth environment for memorial trees. On the other hand, this study confound the bright prospect for the spread of tree burials because people who have used tree burial sites were highly willingness to recommend tree burial sites to others and they wanted to do a tree burial for their own funerals.

The purpose of this study is to identify determinants for preferred funeral methods depending on socio-economic characteristics. In South Korea, the Act on Funeral Services, Etc. categorizes funeral methods into burial, inurnment, and natural burial. This study empirically analyzes how and what socio-economic characteristics affect choices among these three categories. Data is collected from Social Survey 2017 and funeral facilities in the country. The data to be analyzed is developed in terms of a hierarchy which puts the burial and cremation methods in an upper class and the inurnment and natural burial methods in a lower class. Based on this data, a nested logit model is employed to conduct empirical analysis. The analysis indicates that those characteristics that have a statistically significant influence on preferred methods include gender, age, householder, marriage, satisfaction with life, class awareness, monthly income, housing type, housing tenure type, and living in city area. Each variable's modulus of calculated direct and cross elasticity need to be used to analyze the outcome of a nested logit model. In this study, the modulus of direct and cross elasticity are determined for the significant variables. The calculated direct elasticity is applied to analyze the likelihood of choosing each funeral method when there are changes in the significant variables. When a particular method has been selected, on the other hand, the cross elasticity is utilized to analyze changes to the likelihood of choosing the other methods. One of the most notable results is related to natural burial. In order to meet the demand for natural burial, it is necessary to provide more burial sites and raise awareness of natural burial. This will facilitate the efficient use of national territorial space.

This study selected blind spot areas for public transportation in four metropolitan cities including Busan, Daegue, Gwangju, and Daejeon. Then this study developed a nested logit model and analyzed the changes of mode choice behaviors after adopting rapid transit system using stated preference(SP) survey. As the study results, blind spot areas have more potential public transportation demand and tendency to shift to public transportation from autos than built-up areas. This study results can be utilized to evaluate demand changes for new rapid transit system in a circular expressway and an arterial highway connecting CBD and surrounding areas. The study results also can be utilized to analyze the potential public transportation demand in the surrounding areas.

The car-dependent traffic system based on highly advanced industrialization and economic growth causes various urban problems including traffic jams, energy consumption, air pollution, noise, car accidents and other issues. Particularly in urban areas, air pollution from motor vehicles is worse than pollution from past industrialization. In this study, therefore, the authors grasped car exhaust reduction effects by using microsimulation and those traffic policies that could make cars flow smoothly, reducing the air pollution in urban areas through analysis on profitability. As a result, the weekday-based car using system has been found most effective as it does not need investment cost. However, this system may be socially unacceptable, as it requires the government to change driver behavior. Therefore, the government needs to first reach a consensus with the citizens regarding this system. This system will also be effective with other alternatives. As a follow-up study, the authors will research citizens' perceived impacts of car exhaust on air pollution through a study on preference and grasp the possibility of applying these study results to real traffic policies.

The present study explored factors that influence consumers' benefit expectancy about telemedicine service. Responses from a national online survey of 927 adults (aged 19-59), collected in January 2016, were analyzed with multiple regression analysis. The results revealed: (1) Health consciousness positively influenced all three benefit expectancies (all ps < .05); (2) Doctor-patient communication efficacy positively influenced expectancy for convenience improvement (${\beta}=.107$, p < .01) and service quality improvement (${\beta}=.086$, p < .05); (3) Use of health-related smart applications contributed to positive expectancy for service quality improvement (${\beta}=.081$, p < .05) and cost-saving (${\beta}=.067$, p < .05). Some of the relationships were moderated by gender and residence. This convergence study, which examined public's perception about telemedicine from the perspectives of consumer psychology, media, and public health, provides practical implications to promote telemedicine service and educate consumers about it.

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.

Based on the secondary data of the 2018 news media audience conducted by the Korean Press Foundation, this study examines how the credibility of news on web portals and from news media outlets affects the types of web portal usage. The web portal usage was categorized into the two types: paying attention to news edited by the web portals and paying attention to news media outlets. These were named "portal site centered" and "news media outlet centered," respectively. This study found that the credibility of news from the web portals showed positive relationships with both portal site centered and news media outlet centered. The credibility of news from news media outlets had statistically significant relationships with the two types of web portal usage, but it differed depending on the audiences' preferences toward news media outlets. In other words, the credibility of news from news media outlets that are usually preferred or frequently used showed a positive relationship with the portal site centered, but has a negative relationship with the news media outlet centered. On the other hand, the credibility of news from news media outlets that are not preferred or not frequently used had a negative relationship with the portal site centered, but had a positive relationship with the news media outlet centered.
