Past studies in HCI explained the cultural characteristics of individual users by generalizing them at the country-level. However, since the usage of devices or online services, which are main research subjects for the HCI field, are personal, cultural categorization by countres may have limitations in explaining the personal behavior. This is because cultural characteristics of individuals may vary even within the same country; moreover, in may vary depending on the product of usage. Therefore, this exploratory study aims to suggest that there may be differences in cultural characteristics not only between countries but also between individuals and product of usage.

Each country has set low-carbon green growth to a new growth drive for the future while making various efforts. Accordingly, our country also set green growth to our policy task in top priority throughout our country while initiating various policies. Our country has focused on initiating a few policies in green growth. Our country has focused on the development of green industries to secure our national competitiveness while generating added values in green growth. It is necessary to have studies in initiating policies in balance when we consider that green growth should be initiated through the shift over the whole lifestyle. On the other hand, policies led and driven by the central government have been emphasized. Although the planning and establishment of policies might be said to fall under the central government's main areas, green growth policies can be realized regionally in the end. Considering these circumstances, the coordination in a proper way between the central government and each municipality can also be seen as major characteristics only in our country, which can be hardly seen in other countries. This study aims at developing the initiative strategies in our country's green logistics while analyzing the characteristics of green growth and situations of green logistics initiative, studying the government's policies to support green logistics, reviewing the government's policies for supports, and suggesting alternatives for them.

Since the horizontal global radiation and cloud cover are a main factor for designing any solar photovoltaic system, it is necessary to evaluate its characteristics all over the country. The work presented here are the investigation of horizontal global radiation and cloud cover in Korea. The data utilized in the investigation consist of horizontal global radiation and cloud cover collected for 27 years(1982. 12~2008. 12) at measuring stations across the country. The analysis shows that the annual-average daily horizontal global radiation is $3.61\;kWh/m^2$ and the annual-average daily cloud cover is 5.1 in Korea. We also constructed the contour map of cloud cover in Korea by interpolating actually measured data across the country.

In this country grassed waterway practice has long been employed for the protection of drainage or diversion ditches in treating the sloped forest lands. However, the hydraulic characteristics of flow in the ditches have been entirely away from consideration in determining the dimensions of the ditches. This paper is intended first to bring forth some problems which should be brought ioto Consideration in designing grassed waterway including hydrologic aspect for determining the drainage requirement, erosion resistance of various grasses and other factors related to the hydraulics of ditch and second to introduce to readers a method of grassed waterway design, though modified, proposed for U. S. Soil Conservation Service practice. The method presented in the paper was primarily based upon the data originated from the experiments of U. S. Soil Conservation Service laboratories and further investigations on the factors involved are hoped to be conducted for applying the design criteria in this country. It is recommended to use the method of grassed waterway design ,presented in this paper from the view point of wide employment of grass lining on ditches which is obtainable at the lower cost and in abundance every where in this country.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the consumer's entertainment, information, relevance, reliability, and perceived invasion affect the avoidance of advertising. Besides, the purpose of this study was to examine whether there is a difference according to the country and age in the effect of advertisement characteristics on the evasion. This study investigated the avoidance of mobile advertising among 254 Koreans and Chinese publics in their 20's and 40's, evaluated the results in terms of comparative analysis. Collected data were verified by multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. The higher the advertising entertainment and relevance, the lower the avoidance of advertising. The higher the perceived penetration, the higher the avoidance of advertising. Besides, there were differences by country and age in the effects of advertising entertainment, information, relevance, and reliability on ad avoidance. The implications of this study are to find out how to reduce the mobile advertising avoidance of consumers by identifying the predictive factors that cause the avoidance of advertisements by country and age.

This study examined differences in consumers' images of short-term income forest products, preference, willingness to pay prices and purchase behavior according to dietary lifestyle as well as investigated what factors influence the degree of satisfaction when purchasing short-term income forest products and willingness to repurchase. According to dietary lifestyle, the results classified consumers as 'frugal housewife type,' 'convenience-seeking type,' and 'food high-involvement type.' A 'food high-involvement group' is defined as a group that wants high quality products regardless of price. In the 'frugal housewife type,' country of origin and hygiene/safety (considered when purchasing food) had positive influences on the degree of satisfaction. In the 'convenience-seeking type,' country of origin (considered when purchasing food) had a positive influence on the degree of satisfaction while country of origin (checked when purchasing food) had a negative influence on degree of satisfaction. Consumers had a lack of perception for short-term income forest products; subsequently, short-term income forest products had a weakness of low access to consumers. Therefore, farms for short-term income forest products need to divide products into 'high-priced' luxury products and 'low-priced' frugal products according to dietary lifestyle characteristics, improve packaging status to enable consumers to check quality certificates, and clearly indicate country of origin as well as improve distribution processes and increase consumer access to products.

The purposes of this study were to measure respondent's demographic characteristics, respondent's attitudes toward chicken meat, and factors influencing the level of perceived helpfulness of country of origin in predicting the safety of chicken. The data was collected through a consumer survey during the March 2006. Two hundred fifty meat consumers living in Suncheon, the eastern part of Chonnam, were randomly selected as respondents. Eleven respondents did not complete the survey instrument, resulting in a final sample size of 239. All estimations were carried out using correlation, logistic procedure of SAS package, and plum procedure of SPSS. The level of perceived helpfulness of country of origin in predicting the safety of chicken meat was significantly correlated with trust, antibiotics and salmonella/bacteria among the attitude variables. The proportional odds assumption of the model was violated at p<0.05. The estimated results of the multinomial logit model indicated that income, single, occupation, and education significantly affected helpful perception over not helpful perception, while gender and occupation significantly affected very helpful perception over not helpful perception in the case of the extended model. These study results from this study could be useful in developing marketing and health promotion strategies, as well as government trade policy.

Today the Olympics are considered representative of a culture that symbolizes the country's image and cultural specificity, and important colors act as effective means of Olympics marketing. Each color is unique to the natural environment and cultural heritage is one of the languages of each country, region or community and it symbolizes. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine the color and to view the color image displayed on Olympic uniforms based on the national color sensibility. After analyzing the color image of the Olympic athletes, including six kinds of uniforms and operational personnel, a cool casual/casual image is created more frequently, followed by a modern, gorgeous, dynamic, elegant/chic, dandy/classic image. The uniform color is consistent with the national image and the theme of the Pyeongchang Olympics is to enhance the country's competitiveness by widely promoting the national image of Korea around the world. Furthermore, it is necessary to provide the empirical basis for creating the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic uniforms.
