Given the critical importance of enhancing the level of ESG practices, the current research examines the impact of credit card users' pro-environmental characteristics (i.e., environmental self-accountability, eco-label involvement) on their satisfaction with credit card benefits related to green life. That is, this research investigates whether consumers' satisfaction with green credit card benefits varies depending on their environmental self-accountability and eco-label involvement. Specifically, we predict that (1) for consumers with high (vs. low) environmental self-accountability, their satisfaction with credit card benefits related to green life will be higher (hypothesis 1); and (2) when consumers have high (vs. low) eco-label involvement, they will be more likely to be satisfied with credit card benefits related to green life (hypothesis 2). An online survey (N = 293) was conducted to test the two hypotheses. In support of the hypotheses, the results indicate that (1) respondents who had high (vs. low) environmental self-accountability were more satisfied with credit card benefits related to green life, and (2) respondents with high eco-label involvement, as compared to those with low eco-label involvement, reported greater satisfaction with credit card benefits related to green life. We suggest an important insight into how credit card companies approaching ESG issues can increase their consumers' satisfaction with green credit card benefits, considering consumers' individual characteristics such as environmental self-accountability and eco-label involvement.

The objective of this study was to evaluate Environmental microbiology (EM) as a basic course for the environmental engineering program of Korea Maritime University which has been accredited by Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK). Evaluation result of the lecture objectives was more than the average (3.5/5.0). The overall score for learning achievement assessment was more than average level of learning achievement (3.4/5.0). Interestingly, engineering design implementation regarding a specific topic as an extensive learning process has proven to be more effective (3.5/5.0). Some of effective class improvement strategies suggested were to encourage students to participate in the class with self-motivation and accountability: preview and review of the lecture, team presentation in English-speaking settings, and submitting project report written in English. In the future class of EM, test and evaluation of application capability of EM and environmental biotechnology (EB) theories to engineering problem solving should be emphasized.

This study investigates general environmental factors influencing hypertension and diabetes patients and their disease control methods, self-efficacy, nutritional risk, diagnosis of eating styles according to nutritional risk, accountability in eating habit instructions, and nutritional intake and provides basic data for eating habit control in hypertension and diabetes patients. For this, 70 patients who visited a hypertension and diabetes admission center were interviewed using a questionnaire. According to the results, the implementation of self-efficacy in hypertension and diabetes was higher in female subjects. The diagnosis of eating type with nutritional risk was higher in female subjects, and there was a significant difference between male and female subjects (p<0.05). Both sexes had scores above 6 in nutritional risk and were diagnosed to have a "high-risk nutritional status." In the diagnosis of eating habits with nutritional risk, diet quality was higher for female patients (p<0.05), and the nutritional intake of subjects was low for most nutrients. In particular, the intake of calcium, vitamin A, riboflavin, and folic acid was low, indicating a need to improve eating habits for the balanced intake of nutrients because of the increasing importance of eating habits for controlling chronic diseases.

빠른 경제성장과 함께 도시환경에 대한 관심증가는 도시환경조성이 도시의 생명력에 중요한 요소가 된다는 사실을 인식하고 1995년 지방자치제가 실행됨으로써 지자체의 활성화와 자립기반조성 및 경쟁력 강화를 위하여 지역 고유의 이미지 확립을 위한 여러 방안의 시도를 하고 있다. 본 연구는 안동시 가로환경시설물 사례분석을 통하여 지방이 가지고 있는 역사적, 문화적 특징을 반영하여 지역 고유이미지를 표현할 수 있는 가로환경시설물들을 설치하고자 하는 지방자치단체들에게 도움을 주고자 한다. 현재 안동시에 설치되어있는 가로환경시설물의 문제점 분석을 통한 새로운 대안을 제시함으로써 지역고유의 이미지표현을 위한 가로환경시설물의 활발한 설치는 다양한 부가가치 창출의 기반을 마련하고 고유의 이미지 확립을 통한 지역민자부심고취를 통한 지자체 발전에 한몫을 할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로 많은 적용사례가 늘어나 새로운 지역이미지 표현의 방법으로 많은 투자와 연구가 계속되어야 할 것이다.
