In the area of history of costume most of research have been published through Journal of Korean Society of Costume (197 out of 231. 85%). Especially history of korean costume was the most dominant area(154 out of 231.67%) 3. In the area of textiles most of research have been published through Journal of the Korean society of Clothing and Textiles(209 out of 221.95%) 4. Fashion design and aesthetics area was getting increased remarkably(ranking 3) as compared with preceding study(ranking 6) 5.

The purpose of this study is to develop a modular model of smart clothing which can integrate various digital devices in clothing, maintaining the inherent attribute of clothing. For achieving this purpose, several technological devices for the smart clothing for listening to music, bio-monitoring, and environment monitoring were developed, through multidisciplinary cooperation. As the result, total four design prototypes of smart sportswear(trekking wear, jogging wear) for the application of entertainment and health care were suggested.

현대 디자인 분야에는 건축이나 제품, 의복 등에까지 투명성이 디자인의 매우 중요한 요소로 활용되고 있다. 아름다우면서도 기능성과 견고함을 지닌 투명한 재료들이 과학기술의 발달에 힘입어 속속 개발되고 있으며, 또한 투명성 디자인은 현대 디자인의 트랜드인 즐거움과 유희 등을 표현하는 감성 트랜드와 잘 부합되기 때문이다. 본 연구는 이러한 시대의 흐름에 발맞추어 사용자들에게 재미와 즐거움의 가치를 감각적인 부분과 통합할 수 있는 디자인 개발에 목적을 두고, 20세기 후반부터 트랜드의 커다란 부분을 차지하고 있는 투명성을 좀 더 재미있고 여성스러운 감성을 자극할 수 있는 새로운 재해석의 방향을 찾아 패션 디자인을 제안하고자 한다.

오늘날 첨단과학기술의 발달과 더불어 도래한 컴퓨터 및 디지털기술의 발전으로 인간의 생활양식, 환경, 사회가 급격히 변함에 따라 의복도 생리적, 물리적, 심미적, 기능적 요구가 다양하게 대두되고 있다. 이러한 요구에 대응하는 일환으로 장갑은 단순한 방한, 보호의 기능에서 각종 레저 스포츠용 장갑은 물론, 고도의 정밀한 작업을 수행 할 수 있는 특수한 장갑이 필요하게 되는 등 용도가 다양해지고, 세분화 된 기능을 필요로 하고 있으며, 그 수요 또한 증가할 전망에 있다. (중략)

The purpose of this study was to examine clothing purchase behavior of sports participants based on outdoor sports types and sports participation motivation. The research was conducted with the use of a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 703 respondents between the ages of 25 and 55 participated in the research through an internet survey. Motivation for participation in particular sports was comprised of four factors: impress others, mental rejuvenation, social interaction, and health maintenance/improvement. Perceived benefits of clothing choice were categorized into three factors: brand/fashion pursuit, positive image pursuit, and practicality pursuit. Outdoor sports activities was categorized into six types, climbing, jogging, cycling, fishing, golf, and others including ball games. Each sports group presented differences in demographics, sports motivation factors, and benefit factors. Four segments were identified based on sports participation motivation: active group, social group, health and revitalization group, and inactive group. The active group considered three clothing benefits and 14 evaluative criteria as being the most important among the four segments, indicating the major target market for outdoor sportswear brands. On the other hand, the members of inactive group showed passive attitudes toward clothing purchasing behaviors. This study discusses the results of this research within the context of the managerial implication for outdoor sports marketers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of make-up attitude and body-related value on clothing behavior. The subjects were 315 female college students in Gyeongsang provinces. The obtained data were analyzed by reliability analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis and t-test. The major results of this study were as follows: First, four factors of make-up attitude were identified: pursuit of confidence, sociality, self-satisfaction, and positive image. Second, the subjects were categorized into three different types of groups according to make-up attitude and body-related value, respectively: high involvement type, low involvement type, and middle involvement type. Third, there was significant difference among three groups which were segmented by each make-up attitude and body-related value on clothing behaviors (sexual attractiveness, showing off, body-enhancement). Fourth, a significant positive correlation was found among four factors of make-up attitude and body operatability with clothing behaviors. Fifth, the important variables that affected the clothing behaviors were pursuit of confidence, self-satisfaction, and positive image of make-up attitude. Sixth, body-inclination significantly influenced sexual attractiveness of clothing behavior, whereas body-related value, unlike make-up attitude, only had marginal influence.

This study examined the relationships between clothing values, wearing behaviors and the attitudes toward underwear for female students. A survey of female middle and high school students was conducted. 584 questionnaires, collected from April to May, 2009, were analyzed using descriptive statistics, cross tabulation analysis, t-test, factor analysis, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Economic and aesthetic value were found to be significantly higher than other clothing values amongst older students while students in coeducational schools regarded aesthetic properties of clothing as being more important (p<.05). Girl students' most pursued attitudes toward underwear was modesty. According to age of students and the type of school they attended there were significant differences in students' underwear wearing behaviors. A high level of correlation between clothing values and attitudes toward underwear was found. Aesthetic value out of the clothing values showed a high correlation with esthetics/sexual attractiveness out of the attitudes toward underwear. Aesthetics/sexual attractiveness out of the attitudes toward underwear was shown to be most influential on underwear wearing behaviors. There would be a necessity for emphasizing the wearing of girdle and slip.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dynamic characteristics of knitted fabrics on the clothing pressure of foundation. Five knitted fabrics of foundation were selected by different fiber types and blended ratios for the study. The dynamic characteristics of foundation wears made with five different fabrics were measured by KES-FB system method. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The tensile linearity and resilience of f1 were lower than those of other samples. While the tensile resistances of f1, f2 and f4 samples were high, the coefficients of friction of them were low. The bending rigidity and geometric roughness of f5 were higher than the others. 2. The clothing pressure of f3 all-in-one sample was the highest, and followed by f5, f4, f2 and f1, respectively. This result showed that the compression resilience affected on the clothing pressure greatly. 3. In terms of the clothing pressure by posture, the clothing pressure at $90^{\circ}$ bending posture was the highest and followed by that at standing and one-leg-up, respectively. The back part of abdomen was pressured most at $90^{\circ}$ bending posture.

This study was intended to analyze the clothing shopping orientations and purchasing practices for men's dress shirts. It was conducted by means of convenience sampling survey with male office workers who usually wear dress shirts at work and who also live in Seoul, Geonggi, and Chungcheong area. The data collected were analyzed by frequency analysis, cross-tabulation analysis, factor analysis, t-test, and ANOVA using SPSS. The results are as follows: 1) Clothing shopping orientations were classified into six factors: brand oriented; planned; enjoying; expediency oriented; negative shopping; and low price oriented. There were partially significant differences in clothing shopping orientations according to the surveyees' age. 2) The surveyees prioritized low price and expediency in clothing shopping, but they also showed low interest in brands. 3) The criteria for purchasing were in the order of size, color, comfort, and design. There were also partially significant differences in the estimation criteria for dress shirts according to marital status and age. 4) Most respondents tended to purchase 3 or 4 pieces of dress shirts a year, paying 30,000 to 50,000 won for a piece, usually at department stores. 5) When they purchase a dress shirt, they always considers its size. In the case of married men, however, it is the laundry tag that they do care about.
