Few would disagree with the idea that product aesthetics can be a powerful design tool, because it is important strategic variable not only for design research but also for product design. Surprisingly, however, academic literatures in design field are relatively silent of empirical research on how product aesthetics may be assessed and how its influence measured on consumer response. This study explores the role of the aesthetic elements of product design in influencing consumer response. Specifically, The study reports a psychometric scale to measure consumer perceptions of the aesthetic dimensions of a specific class of product. (the perfume bottle) Although the present effort focused on perfume products, the role of aesthetics in the design of various product and packaging extends beyond the studied product categories.

The critical factors affecting the esthetics of anterior implants can be summarized as following: 1) Correct positioning of implant fixture, 2) Enough amount of alveolar bone, 3) Optimum volume of soft tissue. The position of implant is probably the most important factor in obtaining esthetic treatment outcome. The 3-dimensional orientation of implant is determined by the position on the alveolar ridge and its direction. Clinicians often try to mimic natural teeth when fabricating restorations. During the course of esthetic diagnosis and treatment, however, one should not forget to consider the correlation between facial pattern, lips, gingiva, alveolar ridge, as well as remaining dentition. Since anterior region is biologically unfavorable when compared with posterior region, one minor discrepancy in positioning of implant can cause esthetically undesirable treatment outcome. If one understands the biological and prosthetic meaning of implant' s 3-dimensional position, he or she can achieve superior esthetic outcome in anterior region.

In the past decade, Pine & Gilmore set out the vision for a new economic era, the experience economy, in which consumers are in search for extraordinary and memorable experiences. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among walking tourist's experiences, walking tourist satisfaction and revisit intention as the social interest on walking tour has risen. A total of 250 respondents completed a survey. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique, the results reveal the effects of Esthetics(indulged in environments) and Escapism(diverging to a new self) that impact on walking tourist satisfaction and on revisit intention indirectly. Overall, finding of this study enhance the theoretical progress on the experiential concept in walking tour and offer important implication for walking tour marketers.

전치부사이의 비정상적 공간이 생기는 원인은 순측소대, 악궁과 치아의 크기 부조화, 악습관, 과잉치, 치주염으로 인한 병적치아이동 등 다양하다. 이러한 일차적인 원인요소들을 먼저 제거한 후 남게 되는 공간을 해결하기 위해서 교정치료 또는 여러가지 보철수복방법을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 보철적으로 치료할 경우, laminate를 이용하여 심미적인 전치부를 만드는 술식은 보존적인 면에서나 심미적인 면에서 유리한 점이 있어 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 인접면사이에 비교적 큰 공간이 존재하며, 감소된 치주조직으로 인하여 치간유두의 소실이 많고 직경이 작은 치경부가 노출되었을 경우에는 laminate를 이용하여 공간을 수복하기가 쉽지 않기 때문에, 교정적으로 치아를 이동시킴으로서 보다 심미적인 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 증례는 중등도의 치주질환으로 인하여 치주조직이 감소된 상악중절치에서 정중이개의 양이 비교적 크고 치간유두의 소실 및 직경이 작은 치경부가 노출된 환자에서 laminate를 이용하여 심미적인 공간폐쇄를 도모하였다.

The design in modern industrial society is the core of corporate administrational strategy and a factor that determines the competitiveness of a country. And the process of purchasing products is the matter related to the awareness of design which expresses the desire to own the design product that consumers prefer, implying that the aesthetic feature of product has become a critical characteristics of product design rather than the technical function of product. In this regard, the development of product design with a new dimension is urgently called for, by analyzing and shedding light on the aesthetic features of factors related to the preference of consumers. This study considers the preceding studies on the aesthetic factors and the reaction of customers to the product design to figure out the importance of factors related to the preference of customers, in an effort to shed light on the aesthetic factors that affect the customers' preference of product and the evaluation of product. In addition to that, this study investigated the preference that Korean and Chinese customers display toward the product and assessed the aesthetic features of preferred product in order to come to the conclusion from the experiment and analysis on how much effect the aesthetic factors and the aesthetic factors by product have on the preference of customers. Therefore, this study tries to propose the data that can be useful for the design of product targeted for consumers in Korea and China, by shedding light on what aesthetic factors that products preferred by consumers in Korea and China have and how much effect such factors have on the preference of consumers in an attempt to provide the guideline on the aesthetic factors of the product design.

대부분의 제품디자인관련 종사자들은 제품심미성이 소비자의 제품선호에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 주장에 동의하고 있다. 그러나 기존 연구들이 많은 기여를 했다고 볼 수 있으나 제품 심미성을 어떻게 평가 할 것인가\ulcorner 소비자 반응에 대한 그 영향을 어떻게 측정 할 것인가\ulcorner 에 대한 연구가 미미한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구는 제품디자인에 대한 소비자의 선호에 대한 심미성 차원의 영향을 탐색하고, 남성용 화장품 용기의 심미성 차원에 대한 소비자 인식의 측정을 통한 실증적 결과를 보여준다. 이 연구가 남성용화장품용기에 국한되었다 할지라도 다른 다양한 제품의 심미성 역할에도 확대 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
