Controversy and legal disputes over counterfeit fashion designs have recently arisen in the fashion industry. The purpose of this study is to examine cases of counterfeiting disputes over fashion designs, and how the perception of counterfeit fashion designs is fostered from the learner's point of view, suggesting implications for the counterfeiting problem. As a result of this study, first, counterfeiting disputes over fashion design started from a lack of utilization of the Design Protection Act and the ambiguity in counterfeit design criteria. Second, the negative perceptions of counterfeit designs were mainly about unethical behavior, inhibiting the growth of the fashion industry, and reducing consumers' willingness to buy the genuine article. Positive perceptions were mainly about the process of creation, the promotion of a developmental environment for the fashion industry, and the expansion of opportunities to promote new designs. The most common perception was the absence of clear criteria for judgments about counterfeiting. Third, the implications of the counterfeiting problem in fashion design require effective institutional improvement in the fashion industry, the establishment of standards to deal with counterfeiting, the development and practical introduction of education proposals regarding intellectual property rights, and changing the perception of counterfeiting in the fashion industry.

The purpose of this study is to identify the overall effect of Family Hope Partner Project conducted by the Korean Association for Children with Leukemia and Cancer (KACLC) for pediatric cancer patients and their families and provide empirical basic data for the support of them. For this purpose, this study applied a qualitative research methodology as follows; 6 parents and 5 children who used the service for more than one year through the Family Hope Partner Project participated in the interviews. The interviews were conducted from June to July 2016, and the collected data were analyzed through the processes of qualitative analysis. The results of this study are as follows. Pediatric cancer patients and their families who were previously confronted with problems such as a 'barrier of severe pain' and 'swirling anxiety and exhaustion' experienced multi-dimensional effects, thanks to the intervention of 'a genuine master serving as a stepping stone toward their recovery and growth', who were linked to the pediatric cancer patients through Family Hope Partner Project. In other words, they experienced positive effects such as 'support for overall rehabilitation of pediatric patients', 'improvement of family relations', 'relief of needs for social relations', and 'liberation from pressure'. The results of this study were meaningful, in that it substantially corroborated the multidimensional effects of the Family Hope Partner Project, and presented the development direction of the Family Hope Partner Project, which was the first of its kind at home and abroad initiated by the Korean Association for Children with Leukemia and Cancer (KACLC) for pediatric cancer patients and their families.

There have been numerous steps of growth in policy system since the legal systemization through the enactment of Information Disclosure of public institution Act in 1996 and Records Management of public institution Act in 1999 as well as infrastructure advancement led by government bodies, but it still shows insufficiency in some aspects of information disclosure system and records management. In particular, the issue of reliability on record information disclosed through information disclosure system is raised, and institutional base through the legal and technical devices to ensure the reliability are not well prepared. Government has attempted to enact laws and regulations to guarantee the public right to know through information disclosure and records management at government level, and establish the national system in a way that advances the infrastructure for encouraging the participation in state affairs and utilization of national record information resources. There are limitations that it lacks internal stability and overlooks the impact and significance of record information itself by focusing upon system expansion and disclosing information quantatively. Numerous record information disclosed tends to be falsified, forged, extracted or manufactured by information disclosure staffs, or provided in a form other than official document or draft. In addition, the disclosure or non-disclosure decisions without consistency and criteria due to lack of information disclosure staff or titular supervising authority, which is likely to lead to societal confusion. There are also frequent cases where the reliability is damaged due to voluntary decision, false response or non response depending upon request agents for information disclosure. In other cases, vague request by information disclosure applicant or civil complaint form request are likely to hinder the reliability of record information. Thus it is essential to ensure the reliability of record information by establishing and amending relevant laws and regulations, systemic improvement through organizational and staff expertise advancement, supplementing the information disclosure system and process, and changing the social perception on information disclosure. That is, reliable record information is expected to contribute to genuine governance form administration as well as accountability of government bodies and public organizations. In conclusion, there are needed numerous attempts to ensure the reliability of record information to be disclosure in the future beyond previous trials of perceiving record information as records systematically and focusing upon disclosing more information and external development of system.
