This study aims to identify the causation effect between technostress and utilization of Internet information and meditation effect of information service acceptability between technostress and Internet information utilization. The data were collected from 503 woman farmers aged 20 to 65 across the country. The analysis performed a three-stage mediated regression of Bron, & Kenny (1986), using the SPSS 21.0 statistical package. The importance of accepting information services has been identified in the Sobel test. According to the analysis of the medium effect on information service acceptability, information service acceptability has a partial medium effect on the technological stress of woman farmers and the level of Internet information utilization. In order to lower the technology of woman farmers in the future, it is necessary to find ways to improve new perceptions of information technology and increase acceptability of information services.

The purpose of this study is to analyze farmers' perceptions of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects and identify factors influencing participation in the projects. To achieve the research objective, a survey was conducted and a probit model was adopted for the empirical analysis. The results showed that farmers do not participate in the projects due to a lack of education and promotion and due to economic loss. It also showed that the frequency of training and technical guidance learning, degree of recognition of the need for efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, and the level of recognition of the projects concerned have a positive impact on the willingness to participate in the projects. Meanwhile, participation in agricultural environment conservation programs has a negative impact on it. Enhancement of education and promotion as well as economic support (direct payment, R&D) would be useful to raise the willingness to participate in the projects.

한국 인삼에 대한 외국인의 인식도 및 구매의사와의 상관관계를 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 연구 내용에 해당하는 외국인의 인삼제품 개선희망도와 한국인삼 인식도가 구매의도에 미치는 영향관계에 대한 두 가지 결과는 외국인의 인삼제품 개선 희망도는 한국인삼 구매의도에 직접적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 다만, 한국인삼 인식도는 한국인삼 구매의도에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다는 결과가 도출되었다. 인삼제품 개선희망도와 한국인삼 인식도가 구매의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석한 결과, 한국인삼에 대한 인식도가 구매의도에 매우 높은 영향을 미치고 있는 반면 인삼제품 개선희망도는 구매의도에 낮은 영향관계에 있었으나 인식도를 통해 간접적으로 구매의도에 보다 높은 30%의 양의 영향관계를 보였다. 즉, 제품의 이용 편리성, 휴대하기 좋은 형태와 관련된 변수에 해당하는 인삼제품 개선희망도는 직접적으로 한국인삼 구매의도에 영향을 거의 미치지 못했으며 한국인삼의 유용함, 고품질, 안전 신뢰와 같은 인식도가 실질적 구매의도에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 한국인삼 구매의도를 높이기 위해서는 인삼의 효용에 관한 인식도를 높이는 것이 제품이용 편의성을 높이는 것에 비해 우선적으로 필요하다. 현재 한국의 인삼산업의 큰 문제점은 인삼재배를 위한 노동력 부족과 수출품 운송방법 및 체계의 구축과 홍보의 부족함 등을 들 수 있다. 이 결과로 한국 인삼 재배면적의 감소와 세계 시장 점유율이 1980년 이래로 계속 하락이 이어졌다고 볼 수 있다. 앞으로도 인삼제품의 소비와 판매증진을 위해서 국제적인 스포츠 행사나 기타 세계행사 등을 최대한 이용하고 또한 영화나 드라마를 최대한 이용한 국제 마케팅이 필요하다. 세계를 대상으로 한국인삼이 인삼의 종주국이고 우수하다는 것을 세계에 알리는 끊임없는 노력 또한 필요할 것으로 본다. 이 연구는 외국인을 대상으로 하여 한국인삼의 인식도와 개선 희망도를 조사하여 구매의도를 높일 수 있는 영향요인을 분석하였다. 하지만 더 많은 인원의 외국인을 대상으로 할 것과 또한 보다 다양한 종류의 방법으로 설문함으로써, 일반 외국인 소비자의 한국인삼 구매의도를 높일 수 있는 실질적 영향 요인 연구가 필요하다는 것은 추후 연구과제로 남긴다. 한국의 인삼은 세계 어느 시장에 내놓아도 그 우수성이 인정되는 만큼 외국인의 구매의도를 높여 인삼제품의 소비와 판매증진에 좀 더 많은 노력을 기울여야 할 것으로 보인다.

This study aimed to explore residents' perceptions towards Kangwon Land Casino. An on-site survey was conducted for residents in the casino communities using self-administered questionnaires. Completed questionnaires were obtained from 191 residents in the study area. A factor-clustering method identified four distinct segments: positive perceived impact residents (52.8%), negative perceived impact residents (11.3%), unconcerned residents (28.9%), and selectively perceived impact residents (6.9%). Results showed that women and younger residents are more likely to perceive positive impact with casino development. Men, middle-aged residents and farmers are more likely to perceive negative impact with casino development. White-collar business-class residents are more likely to perceive the impact selectively with casino development. We suggest that the stakeholders including public bodies on casino industry development boards share with local residents information on the economic benefits and other topics related to the casino business.

This study analyzed farmers' and experts' perceptions of the Agricultural Income Survey (AIS) conducted by the Rural Development Administration and estimated its socioeconomic value. The research surveyed 104 farmers in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Jeollanam-do. To estimate the AIS's socioeconomic value, this study examined public information projects in the field of agriculture and public information, proposing an estimation methodology based on prior research. The socioeconomic value of the AIS was calculated in three stages (information generation, collection and analysis, and utilization) using the replacement cost and contingent valuation methods. In 2020, the estimated socioeconomic value of the AIS ranged from a minimum of KRW 631.2 billion to a maximum of KRW 799.1 billion per year. To improve the socioeconomic value of the AIS, it is important to booster awareness, expand sample sizes for more reliable data, increase manpower and budget, refine survey questions, and enhance analyzing capabilities. And it's crucial to foster cooperation with surveyed farms, promote collaboration among investigative agencies, improve investigator skills, and strengthen management capabilities to facilitate information dissemination.

The goal of this study is to promote the spread of environmentally friendly agricultural products, which have been receiving a lot of attention lately, as a way to improve food safety and quality. As a result of the increased labor input, increased production costs, and an aging population, environmentally friendly agriculture is making it more difficult for farmers to expand their enterprises. In the meantime, consumers find it difficult to spread eco-friendly agricultural products due to their high expectations for safety and quality, as well as the desire to purchase products at a reasonable price. Previous studies have revealed differences in perceptions between eco-friendly agricultural producers and consumers. In light of this, this study divided consumers based on their characteristics (such as age, purchase history, health concerns, etc.), and different policies were proposed in order to increase purchasing factors for each group based on their characteristics. In order to gather information for this study, general citizens were asked about their perceptions of eco-friendly agricultural products, future purchase intentions and awareness, reliability, necessity, purpose, and information sources. A two-step clustering analysis was conducted using nominal and continuous variables simultaneously. The paper presents the three derived group differences (senior organic interest group, middle-aged organic interest group, and indifferent young organics) as well as group differences for the purchasing/non-purchasing factor analysis and policy improvement for each group. An eco-friendly agricultural product distribution proposal was made at the end of this article.

Recent trends of global food production, processing, distribution and preparation under free trade circumstance are creating an increase in common' concerns about food safety. It is important that farmers improve agricultural products/food safety for satisfying consumer needs and health. Cognizant to the situation, this study was conducted to analyze how the Producers gather information, and determine their awareness about agricultural Products safety using a safety Questionnaire. The Questionnaire was given to 500 farmers who cultivate rice, fruit trees, vegetables, and other crops from September through October 2005. More than half of the producers felt concerns about the agricultural products/foods safety. Uneasiness of the producers was higher amongst those who were younger and earned a higher income. Pesticides and zoonosis (BSE AI, etc.) emerged as the main risk factors causing concerns among the greatest number of producers. Producers had a positive opinion of the effects and perception of food safety, but no opinion of the activity of government. The producers showed a high level of understanding of the Country of Origin Labeling System (88.2%), the quality certification system of agricultural and livestock products (71.9%), and the raising system of environment-friendly agriculture (72.7%). However, their level of understanding of the GAP (59.3%) and the Traceability System (22.8%) was still low. To effectively implement these policies, awareness of producers who are the beneficiaries of the above policies has to be enhanced. Therefore, the safety information should be provided at a more appropriate time and should be easier to understand.

Non-conventional roughage (NCR) is shrub and tree fodders, crop residues and agroindustrial oy-products which is not commonly used as livestock feed traditionally and commercially. Eventhough many sources of NCR is available, the farmers perceptions on NCR not only vary from country to country in tropical and sub-tropical Asian-Australasian countries, but also vary from region to region within the country. Chemical composition and nutritive value of NCR are not only vary from species to species but also vary between species within the genera, between provenances/cultivars within the species and such variations are affected by season, climatic zone, topography and land utilization. The nutritive value of NCR can be improved by physical, chemical and biological treatments and conservation. Feeding NCR to ruminant and non-ruminant is not only improve performance of the livestock but also economically feasible. Future direction of NCR is inventarization, exchange information through NCR information centre, integration with either agrisilvicultural, agrisilvipastoral or silvipastoral system, and use of genetic engineering to produce high quality NCR that ultimately become conventional roughage for agroindustry and agribissiness.

The purposes of this study were to investigate visitors' environmental attitudes of educational tourism, environmental preservation, and regional economic benefits satisfaction through the Chunsuman Bay Birdwatching Festival. The results of this study were as follows: First, the degree of educational satisfaction was high and this festival provided environmental preservation mind for visitors and local residents as well. The festival participants had a positive attitude toward migratory birds. Especially, the residents who had negative perceptions toward migratory birds due to physical harms of agricultural crops was positively changed after visiting this festival. So there should be prepared for more strategic approaches for residents' visiting and participating this birdwatching festival. Second, while the number of tourists was increased, it did not make a practical contribution to residents' income Particularly, farmers' satisfaction was low. So there should be more strategic programs to improve residents' economic rewards for sustainable development.

The objective of this study is to analyze the consumer perception of reusable wreath and present the considerations for introducing the labeling system, and to calculate the social benefits and costs of that. For this, We did an internet survey on the perceptions and willingness-to-pay for reuse wreath to 330 adults. As a result, only 56.1 percent of those who ordered wreath were found to check whether they actually arrived. 73.6% of the respondents had the willingness-to-purchase a reusable wreath if the price was reasonable, and 43.6% were in favor of labeling reused wreath as 'reused wreath'. The social benefits of introducing the reusable currency marking system are about 155,692 million won and the social cost about 43.52 million won. If reusable wreath are not recognized and purchased at the price of new one, economic and emotional losses of domestic horticulture farmers and consumers may occur. Therefore, related agencies will be able to expand sales of domestic flower producers and protect the economic and emotional benefits of consumers if they make efforts to establish and operate a reusable wreath labeling system.
