The purpose of this study was to examine conspicuous consuming tendency and imported-brand preferences based on purchasing behavior of clothing. 464 women living in Seoul were collected for this study. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range teats, and $X^2-test$ were used. As the result, five factors in conspicuous consumption are generated from the factor analysis. Consumers with high conspicuous consumption prefer imported-brand clothing. According to the levels of conspicuous consumption, purchasing behaviors of clothing are significantly different in information usages, clothing selection evaluations, patronage store types, purchasing frequencies, and seasonal clothing expenditure. Finally, clothing purchasing behaviors are significantly different by imported-brand clothing preference in information usages, clothing selection standards, and patronage store types.

The objective of the study is to investigate factors affecting consumers' purchase intention toward imported organic agricultural products. To accomplish the goal of the study a consumer survey was administered for randomly selected households residing in capital area. Results show that the more consumers trust a safety of domestic products and a certification system, the less they purchase the imported products. In addition, it is demonstrated that educated consumers are relatively less reluctant to imported organic agricultural products. Finally, an improvement of domestic certification system, decrease of price of environmentally friendly agricultural products, and aggressive promotion are required to enhance the competitiveness of the domestic environmentally friendly agricultural products.

Physicochemical and consumer acceptance properties of bread baking prepared with 100% domestic and imported flour and mixtures of the two flours by 50% to 50% were investigated in this study. Quality changes of the breads during storage at $1^{\circ}C$ were also evaluated. Volume of bread made of the mixtures of flour showed significantly higher values than the other two samples. Hardness of bread made with domestic flour had significantly higher value than that of control on the first day of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. However, mixture sample showed significantly higher value than that of control after the third day of storage. Consumer acceptance test indicated that the bread prepared with 50% imported and 50% domestic flour were not significantly different from the bread prepared with 100% imported flour.

The use of uncertain names for imported crustaceans causes considerable confusion for the establishment of government policies and the public market. Therefore, there have been demands for reestablishment of the domestic names of imported fish to correct the market order and to prevent damage caused by confusion among consumers. A total of 118 species of imported fisheries crustaceans were reviewed (47 crab spp., 36 shrimp spp., 27 lobster and crayfish spp., five mantis shrimp spp., and three horseshoe crab spp.). Although not belonging to the Subphylum Crustacea, three species of the Subphylum Chelicerata and five species of the Order Stomatopoda were included for review. Of these, 49 species that require Korean name assignment and reexamination of domestic names were selected and Korean names were assigned.

This study examines how consumer attitudes toward food origin and health concerns influence beef purchasing behavior. Using data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute's food consumption behavior survey, we analyzed the frequency of purchasing domestic and imported beef. Results indicate that when not distinguishing between domestic and imported beef, perceptions of lower origin quality and higher health concerns are associated with an increase in purchasing frequency. However, such influences are statistically insignificant for imported beef. Further analysis reveals that for consumers exclusively purchasing domestic beef, these factors do not significantly impact purchasing frequency, while for consumers simultaneously purchasing both domestic and imported beef, these factors do significantly impact purchasing frequency.
