The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived risk and purchasing behavior of clothing gift among adult women. Data were collected from 258 adult women reside in Kwangiu who have ever been to purchase clothing gift during recent six months using a qusetionaire. Frequency Analysis, Factor Analysis, Correlation Analysis, T-test were carried out in the collected data. The findings were as follows; 1. The types of risks that respondents perceived when they purchased clothing gift were identified as practical-economic risk, the social-psychological risk, the fashionable risk and the time-refunding risk. 2. The higher the self-satisfaction motivation was, the higher the social-psychological risk and the higher the practical motivation was, the higher the practical-economic risk (P<.001). 3. The degree of the perceived risks of the Low Planning Group was higher than that of the High Planning Group (P＜.001). 4. When the respondents perceived social-psychological risk high, they considered brand, fashionability, and store type as more important selective criteria and when the practical-economic risk perceived high, practicality, store service were conidered more important (P＜.05). 5. When respondents perceived social-psychological and fashionable risk high, they used both personal information and non-personal information high (P<.01).

This study examines the impact of perceived risks for smart shoes based on purchase intention by type of smart shoes as well as how they are mediated by fashion innovativeness and technology innovativeness. It also compares the differences between awareness, interest and perceived risk of smart shoes by gender and age. This study was conducted based on men and women in their 20s to 50s who provided 246 samples for data analysis using SPSS 25.0. The results show significant differences in the awareness, interests and perceived economic risk of smart shoes by gender and age. The perceived performance risk had a positive effect on the purchase intention of smart shoes for GPS. Perceived aesthetic-psychological risk had a negative effect on all types of smart shoes. Perceived economic risk had a negative effect on the purchase intention of smart shoes for entertainment; in comparison, perceived social risk had a positive effect on the purchase intention of smart shoes for GPS and entertainment. Fashion innovativeness and technology innovativeness also mediated the relationship between perceived economic risk as well as the purchase intention of smart shoes for healthcare, GPS and entertainment.

The increase of international trade across countries and borders results in increased risks associated with the inflow of new pests and diseases. These risks are likely to be increased more rapidly due to climate change. Some countries implement strict regulations on imports to prevent these risks and protect biosecurity, food safety, and public health. However, the problems arise when the diseases and pests are found in a country where their economic structure largely depends on agricultural exports and cause ripple effects on other industries and ecosystems. Therefore, establishing an effective quarantine system is essential to protect and recover from the damage caused by non-native diseases and pests. This study's objectives are 1) analyzing the agricultural policies relate to the quarantine system on diseases and pests in Korea, 2) evaluating the Korea plant quarantine system's value, and 3) simulating plant quarantine policy strategies. We estimated the Korean quarantine system's benefits on diseases and pests to reach these objectives. The benefits are measured with a willingness to pay from respondents surveyed by the contingent valuation method (CVM). The CVM approach directly asks people how much they would willingly pay for food security. Finally, the Korean quarantine system's values are simulated with several policy scenarios and different scales of infection at the regional level. The results of this study can deliver policy implications on the quarantine system innovation in developing countries including Asia.

원자력발전은 위험을 안고 있음에도 많은 국가에서 에너지 공급원으로 그리고 지구온난화 대응으로 중요하게 자리잡고 있다. 핵에너지는 방사능 오염의 위험과 핵무기의 위협 그리고 핵폐기물 처리의 문제를 가지고 있으나 효율적인 신기술로 안전 관리가 가능하다는 기술낙관주의가 전문가 그리고 정부 주도로 주류를 이루어 왔다. 그러나 체르노빌 그리고 후쿠시마 원전 사고는 전세계적으로 핵발전의 대안을 모색하는 관심과 노력은 확대되어 대안 모색으로 지속가능한 재생 에너지의 생산을 확대하는 노력, 에너지의 효율적 전달을 위한 스마트그리드와 환경친화적 소비 행태를 통한 에너지 사용 절감, 그리고 핵폐기물의 처리 등을 포함한 환경의 수용능력을 감안한 청지기 정신을 강조한다. 보다 근본적인 대안 운동으로는 대규모 원전 사고를 경험하며 기존 전문가와 정부가 중심이 되어 형성해온 기술주의가 배제했던 지역에서의 피해 사례와 이를 고려하지 못하는 접근에 대한 불만이 보다 광범위하게 피해자, 기술자, 일반인 등이 대안운동을 전개한다. 이들 비전문가들은 지역의 오염을 감지하고 대중의 일상생활에 심각하게 영향을 위험과 감정을 고려하는 능력을 가진 반전문가로 등장한다. 이들은 광범위한 지역에서 원자력에 대한 대안적 지식을 구성하고 합법화하는데 중요한 역할을 한다.

울리히 벡(Ulrich Beck)의 위험사회 개념은 위험을 둘러싼 공간적인 감수성이 부족하면서 특정 위험이 발생하고, 전개되고, 다면적으로 인지되는 역동적인 측면들이 누락되는 한계를 지니고 있다. 이에 대한 대안적 접근으로 벡의 위험사회론을 공간적으로 발전시킨 데틀레프 뮐러만(Detlef $M{\ddot{u}}ller$-Mahn)의 위험경관(riskscape) 개념을 소개하고, 이 개념을 동아시아의 맥락에서 이론화를 시도한다. 동아시아 발전주의 국가론의 핵심적인 전제는 적극적인 '국가의 역할(the role of the state)'을 주문한다는 점이다. 하지만 동아시아의 경제성장 및 근대화 과정에서 국가의 역할이 두드러졌다는 사실은 벡의 용어를 빌리자면 경제성장과 근대화의 댓가로 원자력 발전소와 같은 '만들어진 위험들(manufactured risks)'의 형성에 국가가 깊숙이 연루되었음을 의미한다. 따라서 동아시아 근대화와 위험사회화를 이해하기 위해서는 국가에 대한 분석이 긴요하다. 보다 구체적으로, 한국의 원전입지정책을 사례로 1) 단기간에 동아시아 경제성장을 효과적으로 추진하기 위하여 지배적 사회세력이 지역의 위험은 축소하고, 경제성장의 가치를 지역의 위험보다 우선시하는 국가적 차원의 위험경관을 형성하였음을 밝히고, 2) 또한 다양한 우발적 계기들(정치적 민주화 혹은 대규모 재난의 발생 등)에 의하여 다른 사회세력들이 생산한 위험경관들이 기존의 국가적 차원의 위험경관과 대립할 수 있음을 확인한다.

At present, the health risks associated with the natural radionuclides of ground water have become a concern as potential social problems. However, there are no regulatory actions or control strategies for such risks. Therefore, we have investigated and discussed the risks and associated management strategies for radionuclides in other countries. US EPA has proposed MCL (300 pCi/L) and AMCL (4,000 pCi/L) for radon, and 30 ppb for uranium, 15 pCi/L for gross-alpha and 5 pCi/L for radium as final MCLs. Also, Canada, WHO and European countries have their inherent management levels. Finally, we suggested several criteria for setting guidelines in our countries including exposure related criteria such as geological distribution, occurrence, exposure probability distribution, exposure population and multimedia exposure assessment, acceptable risk, and cost -benefit analysis. The national-scale exposure and risk assessment, and economic analysis should be conducted for producing and aggregating the representative information on these criteria.

This study investigates the factors influencing consumer's channel selection for luxury fashion items, specifically the effect of (i) perceived luxury benefits, (ii) perceived online shopping risks, (iii) demographics, and (iv) purchasing behavior. A survey questionnaire was developed and implemented to measure the perceived luxury benefits, perceived online shopping risks, purchasing behaviors, and consumer demographics. A total of 396 responses were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, cross-tab, and multinomial logit analysis with SPSS18.0. The results are as follows. First, those who shop in offline shopping channels tend to be heavy buyers that look for product quality and conspicuousness. They perceive low risks from online shopping and purchase few bag items offline. Second, those who shop online tend to be men and perceive the high benefits of economic value. Third, those who shop in multi channels tend to be men, search for information via the Internet, and purchase few accessory items. Implications for multichannel strategies are suggested.

This paper examines whether lending structure can lower credit risk by employing econometric techniques of panel data for the Vietnamese banking system at the bank level used by economic sectors from 2011 to 2016. New light is being shed on assessing the impact of each industry's debt outstanding on credit risk. Adopting findings from previous studies, we assess credit risk from two different sources, including loan loss provision and non-performing loan. Moreover, we also focus on observing lending structure in many different aspects, from concentrative levels to the short-term and long-term stability levels of lending structure. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator was applied to analyze the relationship between concentration and banking risks. In general, the results show that lending concentration may decrease credit risk. It is interesting to observe that the Vietnamese commercial bank lending portfolios have, on average, higher levels of diversity across different sectors. In particular, the increase in hotel and restaurant lending contributes to decrease credit risk while the lending portfolios of banks in agriculture, electricity, gas and water increase credit risk. This study suggests the need for further analysis and research about portfolio risks in lending activities for maintaining efficiency and stability in the commercial banking system.

Significant changes in the past year have taken place in the world of work that are bringing new challenges with regard to employee safety and health. These changes have led to emerging psychosocial risks (PSRs) at work. The risks are primarily linked to how work is designed, organized, and managed, and to the economic and social frame of work. These factors have increased the level of work-related stress and can lead to serious deterioration in mental and physical health. In tackling PSRs, the European labor inspectorates can have an important role by enforcing preventive and/or corrective interventions in the content and context of work. However, to improve working conditions, unilateral interventions in the context and content of work are insufficient and require adopting a common strategy to tackle PSRs, based on a holistic approach. The implementation of a common strategy by the European Labor Inspectorate for tackling PSRs is restricted by the lack of a common legislative frame with regard to PSR evaluation and management, the different levels of labor inspectors' training, and the different levels of employees' and employers' health and safety culture.
