유전자재조합(GM)식품에 대해 듣거나 읽어서 알고 있는 사람이 67%정도 되었고,GM식품을 자발적으로 먹겠다는 사람은 18%를 약간 상회하였고 기다려보고 결정하겠다는 사람들이 약 50%정도였다. 농약 등의 화학물질 오염이나 취급부주의 및 기업인의 윤리의식에 대한 불신에 비해 GM식품에 대한 우려는 매우 적게 나타났으나 GM방법에 의해 개발한 제초제 내성 콩을 먹겠다는 사람은 적은 데 비해 같은 방법으로 개발한 비타민이 많은 콩을 먹겠다는 사람은 많은 것으로 보아 소비자들은 GMO이기 때문에 제초제 내성 콩을 거부하는 것이 아니라, 제초제 내성 콩에 대한 내용의 이해부족으로 인한 거부감을, 그리고 비타민 콩은 비타민이 인체에 중요한 영양소라는 것 때문에 호감을 가지는 것으로 해석되었다. 전체적으로 소비자들이 GMO에 관한 정보를 많이 접하기는 하지만 보통 식품에도 유전자가 있다는 사실을 아는 소비자들이 조사 대상자의 40%정도인 것으로 보아 노출된 만큼 내용을 잘 알지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. GM식품에 대하여는 90%이상이 표시하기를 바라고 있는 것과 같이 2001년 7월부터 가공식품에 GM원료 함유여부 표시제도가 시행되고 있는 데, 이 제도의 시행 사실을 알고 있는 소비자는 22%에 지나지 않았다. 효과적인 표시제도의 시행을 위해서는 일반시민이 제도의 시행에 대해 잘 숙지하고 있어야 할 것이다.

In many countries, governments invest a substantial amount of budget in open government data (OGD) for governmental performance and transparency. To understand the actual performance of such policies, the governments should measure the realized value. Many organizations and researchers have attempted to assess the value of OGD. However, they have neglected a perspective of consumers who benefit from OGD. Moreover, little research has quantified the economic value. This research examines extant methods of intangible asset valuation to quantify the economic value of OGD in a citizen perspective. In consideration of the extant research methods and the characteristics of OGD, the contingent valuation method is the most appropriate because it effectively reflects various users and their purpose of use. We then conduct a survey of citizens living in Seoul, Korea and assess the economic value of OGD provided by the Seoul government. Findings show that citizens' willingness to pay (WTP) differs across respondents' prior experience, tax resistance, perceived benefit and perceived reality of virtual scenario, but it does not differ across their demographics. WTP also significantly varies across the question formats. We discuss the reliability of the results and implications for future research.

The purpose of this study is to examine the consumer competency of women in their 20-40s after consumer competency is classified into consumer knowledge, consumer attitude and consumer skill. Since these components can show differences based on the areas of consumption life, the areas of consumer competency are classified into financial management areas, trading areas and consumer citizenship areas. The differences in consumer competency based on marital status and the differences in variables affecting consumer competency by marital status are identified. The types of consumers are classified and characterized based on consumer competency and marital status. This sentence can immediately follow the previous one rather than start a new paragraph. The same goes for the other sentences below. First, the female consumer competency levels of the married group were generally higher than those of the single group. Second, consumer knowledge and consumer competency in financial management areas showed significant interaction effects between the marital status and employment status of demographic variables. Third, there were differences in factors affecting significant differences in consumer knowledge, consumer attitude, consumer skill and over all consumer competencies between the unmarried and married groups.

This study aims to identify implications for the role of home economics in consumer education in middle schools focusing on building consumer competency. To this end, the content in middle school textbooks of home economics and other subjects, written according to the 2015 revised curriculum, were analyzed. This study examined consumer education content based on the consumer competency measurement index developed by the Korean Consumer Agency, and reviewed different foci presented by subjects. This study also investigated how the knowledge, attitude and practice, which are components of consumer competency, are presented. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows: First, consumer competency content, presented in textbooks of home economics and other subjects, were comprised of citizenship competency(65.3%), transactional competency(27%), and financial competency(7.7%). Second, in terms of content on the consumer's citizenship competency, little attention was paid to consumer rights, revealing an imbalance between responsibilities and rights. Third, despite its importance, the "utilization of information and communications technology" in transaction competency, and "consumer participation" in citizenship competency are insufficiently covered in the home economics. Fourth, social studies was the subject that most extensively covered the content of consumer competency. In terms of scope, home economics dealt with most of the sub-fields. Fifth, even when the same content of consumer competency was covered, it was presented differently by subject. Sixth, there was a lack of connection between components of consumer competency-knowledge, attitude, and practice, with a disproportionately high emphasis on knowledge. In conclusion, this study concluded that consumer education content of middle school subjects is insufficient to enhance consumer competency.

21세기 세계시장의 도전에 즈음하여 표준개발에 대한 글로벌 기반구조(Infrastructure)가 변화의 계기를 맞고 있다. 하나는 WTO/TBT 협정의 발효로 세계를 대상으로 제품과 시스템을 생산 및 판매하기 위한 표준 및 시방서의 필요성이 커지고 있다는 측면이고 다른 하나는 지구촌 시민이 사용하는 관련제품과 시스템에 대한 보건, 안전 및 환경을 지킬 필요성이다. 모든 표준이 시발점부터 세계를 대상으로 하는 표준시스템으로 개발이 되었다면 문제가 없었을 것이나 대부분의 국가가 자기 나라 차원에서 표준을 개발하였으므로 국제레벨에서 표준문제를 해결하는 일은 아주 복잡하고 어렵다. 이 글은 미국 국립표준기술원(NIST)이 미국의 표준을 세계화하기위한 기반구조 구축의 정책 방향에 관한 내용을 요약한 것이다. 미국은 세계 유일의 초강대국으로 세계시장에 대한 도전, 제작자와 공급자 사이의 상호 연계성, 지구촌 어느 소비자에게 공급된 제품에 대하여도 보건, 안전 및 환경을 지킬 필요성 등을 목표로, 현재의 미국 제도를 21세기 세계표준으로 정착시키겠다는 전략이다.

This article discusses the possibilities and limitations of ICT education by reviewing the previous research on its various aspects including educational goals, contents, methods, and evaluation. First, when it comes to its educational goal, the prior studies suggest that ICT education aims to nurture digital citizenship among students and to enable them to participate in different sectors of our society. ICT education characterizes the core capacities of its future learners as 'lifelong learners,' 'information producers/consumers,' and 'local/global citizens.' Second, in regard to the educational content of ICT education, researchers investigate SW education importantly: They develop the educational programs and examine the effectiveness of those programs. However, to ensure the relevancy of the educational contents to the future society, institutional support is imperative including facilitating educators' capacities and synchronizing ICT education with subject education. Third, as the educational methods, various ICTs such as flipped learning and augmented reality (AR) are being applied to actual classroom teaching. Research on the educational methods, which is the most vibrant area in the ICT education scholarship, is expected to improve the previous educational methods and to lead the qualitative development of ICT education. Fourth, the previous discussion on the educational evaluation focuses on computer-based evaluations. Educational evaluation using ICT will enable educators to assess the characteristics and achievement of an individual learner accurately and to lead them to apply a teaching-learning process effectively, which will ultimately enhance the effectiveness of educational evaluation. Along with the overall review on the possibilities of ICT education, this article discusses the limitations of the current ICT education and its implications for educational inequalities.

The research was conducted with awareness of cultural uniqueness in each country and similarities and universality among countries. On that account, it raised questions about the idea that social well-being can be achieved only materialistic consumption and its cultural symbolism can lead to incongruity in social hierarchy and then dysfunctions in a counter way. On the other hand, the value of well-being can be achieved by many different ways and within one's limited budget as well as material consumption. This paper provides basic information about the development of essential wellbeing products and strategies for building market segmentation in the industry. The research also provides policy makers with the direction of welfare policy in our society to establish a foundation of creating conditions for true well being. This paper will be helpful in fulfilling well-being in our whole society.

This study aims to theoretically examine the validity of argument that market-opening will improve the audience welfare of media and cultural contents. To accomplish its purpose, first of all, this study classifies the spectrum of approaches on cultural market-opening in Korea. Then, it examines, by the concept of public goods, whether market-opening can bring on economic gains for audience as consumer. Finally, this study inspects the profit and loss for audience as citizen which will be brought on by market-opening on the grounds of democratic value. As a result of this study, the improvement of economic efficiency and competence, the expansion of consumer‘s choices, the preservation of cultural value that the positive approach on market-opening is promising cannot be justified theoretically and logically. Therefore, at least in theoretically, the conclusion that market-opening cannot improve the audience welfare is deduced. However, the objection of market-opening cannot be related to the distorted protectionism of nation culture. On the contrary, this study suggests the condition of market-opening debate must be a opportunity to reconsider and reform of cultural diversity in Korea.

A survey of consumers' awareness and attitudes about genetically modified food and korean labelling regulation entered into force in July, 2001 was conducted from October, 2001 to January 2002. The questionnaires were distributed to 519 consumers who are members of panel survey system of Korea Consumer Protection Board and lived in 7 largest cities of Korea. The consumers were asked about knowledge, concerns of potential hazards, intention of purchasing, and present labelling regulation. More than 85.7% of the respondents had some knowledge on genetically modified (GM) foods. More than 44.9% of consumers relied on the information from the civil activity group but only 9.6% of consumers from the government. The greatest benefit of GM food was thought to be a solution for the food shortage in the future. While, regarding a potential hazard, more than 71.6% of respondents worried about the safety of GM foods. First of all, 52.2% of korean consumer concerned about food toxicity or side effect. 53.2% of consumers responded that they would not purchase GM labelled foods and about 28.0% of respondents suspended judgement on willingness to purchase until they would get more information. Regarding complement field of present GMO labelling regulation, over 45.2% of consumers responded that labelling was needed to be more easily found. Also more than 95.1% of consumers hope to expand a list of mandatory labelling articles.
