The motives of festival attendance have been used as a valuable marketing tool for promotion and understanding segment characteristics. This study attempted to segment the food festival market based on delineated motives and find the difference of characteristics and satisfaction among the segments. The study also explored the influence of motivation factors on satisfaction. The results are as follows : (1) Derived factors of the motivation of food festival attendance were 'food', 'information', 'education', 'cultural events', and 'experience'. (2) A cluster analysis identified two segments for five motivation factors. Two segments named 'utilitarian motivation group' and 'hedonic motivation group' were found to be different according to age, occupation, income, company, information source. (3) Two groups show the difference on satisfaction about festival programs. Utilitarian motivation group was more satisfied with 'holiday food performance' and 'food performance', whereas hedonic motivation group presented more satisfaction with 'cocktail show'.

Volunteering has important insight for tourism, especially in the context of special events and festivals. In particular, local festival relies heavily upon volunteers because a large number of individuals are often necessary for creating and delivering various services. Therefore, understand the link between motivation and satisfaction will help festival managers to make appropriate decision in the selection and recruitment of volunteers. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of motivations on individual's volunteer satisfaction. Data were gathered from 183 individuals that volunteered for the 2018 Gokseong Festival and finally 154 samples were used for the empirical analysis. According to the results, motivation factor analysis showed that intrinsic motivation is a main volunteer motivation to participate in the festival. This research concludes with the proposed conceptual framework that discusses the categories of motivational factors and also volunteers' satisfaction. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed in more detail.

For the success of a festival, effective volunteer management is axiomatic. Given the dramatically increased size and quality of festivals and events in Korea over the past fifteen years, the importance of effective volunteer management has been overlooked among festival organizations in comparison to similar festivals in western countries. This paper provides a description and an assessment of the Hi Seoul Festival 2009 volunteer program based on an seven-step ideal process of an effective festival volunteer program with suggestions for the program development by reviewing organizational documents, and an interview with a staff member of the Hi Seoul Festival organization, and a survey pertinent to festival volunteers' motivation. This study shows college students are more interested in volunteering at festivals in Korea with the primary motivation of developing relationships and gaining work experience. It also suggests that the Hi Seoul Festival organization should fully appreciate the importance of an effective volunteer program and the position and work of a volunteer coordinator.

Purpose - There have been local government systems since June 1955. Many local governments have made use of festivals for regional public relations and the achievement of competitiveness. This study analyzes effective components of local festivals. There has been extensive research in relation to variables such as participation motivation, satisfaction level, recall intention, royalty, and recommend purpose. However, as a variable factor, attachment to the participation motivation of a festival has been overlooked along with support level to a festival. This study has added new variables named "attachment to local society" and "support level," which are dependent variables. We will study the relationship of these two variables. Research design, data, and methodology - This study has devised a cause-and-effect relationship model, which deduces that local residents' participation motivation for the festival will have positive influence on the festival support level and satisfaction level. We circulated questionnaires to local residents to get the data required to prove the hypothesis. To analysis the data, we used SPSS 21.0, and accomplished basic analysis through the analysis of frequency as well as descriptive statistical analysis. Further, we verified our measurement tools through reliability analysis, and examined the research hypothesis through multiple regression analysis. Results - With regard to the festival satisfaction level, the variables of local society attachment, festival attraction, escaping from the daily life, and family harmony have influence upon a positive effect (+) in this order. Among them, the variable of local society attachment has the greatest influence. However, in respect of support level for the festival, only the variables of local society attachment and escaping from the daily life have a valid influence on the positive effect (+), and local society attachment has relatively greater influence. In addition, not only does the festival satisfaction level affect the support level for the festival in terms of positive effect, the influence is also far-reaching, which verifies the mediating effect. Conclusions - The result shows that the local residents' satisfaction level with the Yudalsan Mountain Spring Flower Festival is comparatively high, which is due to the local society attachment. It also shows that it is difficult to create support without local residents' attachment with their area. Consequently, this study insists that the Yudalsan Mountain Spring Flower Festival should exceed its limitation as just a village-level party, in order to become a remarkable and outstanding festival, and suggests three operational implications: macro-environmental development, task environment development, and internal operational environmental development. From the macro-environmental perspective, the constant development of local culture and local business is proposed. In the task environment perspective, a new functional development for the festival is proposed. From the internal operational environmental perspective, improvements in festival operation methods are proposed. If these weak points are addressed and resolved through a more detailed approach, it will be very helpful for local government systems to operate the festival.

축제의 양적 팽창에도 불구하고 지역축제에 대한 만족도는 몇몇 축제를 제외하곤 그리 높은 편이 아니다. 이는 지역축제의 본질적 목적에 비해 경제성을 강조한 나머지 지역축제의 개최목적인 지역관광산업의 발전, 지역문화의 보전, 지역주민의 여가기회확대, 지역공동체 의식의 함양, 지역이미지 제고 등을 고려하지 못한 축제들이 우후죽순 생겨나고 지역주민과 관광객의 만족을 높일 수 있는 행사내용과 형식들이 차별화되어 있지 못한 것에 기인한다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 점을 고려하여 문화체육관광부의 축제평가기준을 토대로 제24회 김포문화예술제에 참여한 관광객과 지역주민에 대한 설문조사를 실시하여 지역축제 만족도 결정요인을 규명하고 이를 통해 지역주민과 관광객간의 재방문의도와 추천의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 향후 김포문화예술제가 성공적인 지역축제가 될 수 있도록 축제마케팅 전략수립에 유용한 시사점을 제공한다.
