Since its market opening in the year 1996, Korea's retail sector has witnessed the emergence of various new retail formats such as discount stores and Internet shopping malls. Given the competition among various retail formats, it is needed to analyze the previous trends and to measure the future potential of the market with more careful economic models. Using Time Series Analysis on Korean economy and distribution industry, we aim to economic models to follow the trends and to measure the future growth of competing retail formats such as department stores, discount stores and convenience stores. We have found that the growth of department stores, convenience stores and specialty store format is very closely related with the private consumption expenditure. On the other hand, private consumption expenditure is not a good variable to explain the growth of discount stores and the supermarket sector. Following an extensive data analysis, three year forecasting of Korean distribution market including six different retail sectors is proposed. In addition, several discussion points including statistical classification of retail formats are argued.

This study was conducted to examine what effect was produced on brand attitude and purchase intention by consumer attitude towards the visual merchandising of premium supermarket made using self-reported survey method during 1 Jun 2016 to 14 Jun 2016 as perceived by consumers who have experience in purchasing a product in premium supermarket located in Seoul. Result findings are follow. First there was significant influence between consumer perception and brand attitude (${\beta}=0.157$, p<.001) for harmony, ${\beta}=0.111$ (p<.01) for attractiveness, ${\beta}=0.639$ (p<.001) for suitability, and ${\beta}=0.146$ (p<.001) for trend), but credibility didn't have any effect on brand attitude. Second, according to the results of making a regression analysis in order to analyze an effect that brand attitude had on purchase intention, the brand attitude had a significantly positive (+) effect on purchase intention (${\beta}=0.818$, p<.001). Third, the influence on purchase intention by consumer attitude towards the visual merchandising of premium supermarket was verified (${\beta}=0.181$, p<.001) for attractiveness, ${\beta}=0.520$ (p<.001) for suitability, ${\beta}=0.325$ (p<.001) for trend), and the harmony and credibility didn't have any effect on purchase intention in current study.

Though start-ups by small businessmen are increasing year by year, the success rate of start-ups have been low. Accordingly, it is necessary to look at various ways to improve the success rate of start-ups by small businessmen. Most previous studies on the issue have focused on identifying influential factors that lead to the success and growth of start-ups by them, mostly based upon quantitative perspectives. Few has approaced with qualitative perspective such as actual case studies in academic papers. In this study, after analyzing a wide range of successful cases of start-ups by small businessmen, we will develop countermeasures by business types and suggest practical lessons that can be appropriately utilized in starting a new small business.

Oxidative stabilities of fat in DHA(cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid)-added dry milk and ordinary dry milk during storage were studied by determining thiobarbituric acid values of samples. Two kinds of milk powder samples were purchased in the local supermarket and $2{\pm}0.05\;g$ of samples were transferred into serum bottles, which were stored under the light or under dark The oxidation of fat in DHA-added milk powder was higher than that of fat in ordinary milk powder and the acceleration was more evident in the presence of light Light and unsaturated fats accelerated synergistically oxidation of milk fat Addition of DABCO(diazabicyclooctane), which is an efficient singlet oxygen quencher, significantly decreased the photooxidation of milk fat This result clearly suggested that singlet oxygen oxidation (Type II reaction) was involved in the system. Deceleration of milk fat oxidation by DABCO was higher in the DHA-added milk powder.

A pesticide monitoring study was undertaken for the strawberry and cucumber samples collected from plastic film houses and additional strawberries from supermarkets located in Seoul city in 1983 to evaluate pesticide residues in these food commodities and also to give basic informations in establishing maximum residue limits. Organophosphorus insecticides were not detected in any cucumber samples except that diazinon found with low residue levels in two strawberry samples. Fungicide procymidone and chlorothalonil were detected with considerable high frequencies in these vegetables while their residue levels were fairly low. Even the maximum residue levels. they were much lower than maximum residue limits established in these vegetables in Environment Administration. Korea. Of the strawberries from supermarkets in Seoul city, procymidone, chlorthalonil and dichlofluanid fungicides were also detected with similar detection frequencies and residue levels to those from the plas tic film houses. By washing the strawberries with tap water, the residues were removed from 38% to 95% of the total residues. Presently, it is considered that pesticide residues in strawberry and cucumber may be no harmfullevels for food commodities.

In general, the simple items we need to live in are purchased through retail stores such as supermarkets near our home. In the store, not only the items but also the management personnel and the payment instruments for the store management are located in one space called the store. Such a general store environment is gradually changing into an 'unmanned market' as a result of the development and fusion of information and communication technology (ICT). An unmanned market is an environment in which no one runs a market as the word has. An example of a typical change is Amazon's Unofficial Amazon Store. In addition, the usage and prospects of unmanned market in China are growing very meaningfully. In this study, the present situation of the unmanned market is examined in the US and China markets, and the development prospects are described. It also describes the key milestones necessary for the unmanned market.

People counting data is crucial for most business owners, since they can derive meaningful information about customers movement within their businesses. For example, owners of the supermarkets can increase or decrease the number of checkouts counters depending on number of occupants. Also, it has many applications in smart buildings, too. Where it can be used as a smart controller to control heating and cooling systems depending on a number of occupants in each room. There are advanced technologies like camera-based people counting system, which can give more accurate counting result. But they are expensive, hard to deploy and privacy invasive. In this paper, we propose a method and a hardware sensor for counting people passing through a passage or an entrance using IR Infrared sensors. Proposed sensor operates at low voltage, so low power consumption ensure long duration on batteries. Moreover, we propose a new method that distinguishes human body and other objects. Proposed method is inexpensive, easy to install and most importantly, it is real-time. The evaluation of our proposed method showed that when counting people passing one by one without overlapping, recall was 96% and when people carrying handbag like objects, the precision was 88%. Our proposed method outperforms IR Infrared based people counting systems in term of counting accuracy.
