The 'one-day-shopping' concept that we experience today in a modern mega mall changed the propensity to consume compared to the past. The idea of a mega mall originated in the U.S. and the first suburban shopping malls as we know them today were built in the 1950s. The convenience of these malls had a great impact not only on consumers but also on the retail industry in general and the new mega mall idea has since spread around the world, with the largest ones located in China and Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, Korea had the fastest-growing economy during the last three decades and with that boom the compositional structure of domestic retail facilities became extremely diverse. Today, there are 36 new mega mall development plans to be completed before 2016, which represent a rapid and dynamic change in consumerism lifestyle in Korea. In this regard, this study will re-evaluate the first mega mall in Korea, the COEX Mall, and identify initial errors regarding its circulation plan and provide an ideal design strategy for future commercial mega malls based on literature review and comparison analysis.

Designed by star architect of Moshes Safdie, Raffles City Chongqing includes a total of 6 mega high-rise towers 250 to 380 m tall, a sky conservatory, a 5-storey high shopping mall and a 3-storey basement car parking. Located at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jailing Rivers, the site for the project is imbued with a significance that is immediately symbolic, both as a sign of Chongqing's important past and as a vivid indicator of the city's thriving present and future. The design for the project to be situated at this gateway takes as its governing idea the image of powerful sails upon the water. The outer facades of the project's eight towers - the transparent surfaces that will face the water to the north - are meant to recall a fleet of ancient Chinese ships, with their huge rectangles of white canvas filled by the wind. This is a $1.13million\;m^2$ mega scale integrated project of office, retail, hotel, service residence and high-end residence with the transportation hub and traffic circulation at various levels of the project. This paper presents the multi-dimensional hybrid design, engineering and construction of this mega scale project. The innovations and the cutting-edge technology used in this project are introduced and discussed benchmarking the design and construction of the skyscraper cluster in a major city like Chongqing of China.

There is a phenomenon that the consumers from all over the countries are using the Korean online shopping malls, which has settled as a distribution industry. To get the attention of the consumers from other countries, the marketing strategy is important in order for the online shopping malls to go advance abroad. The purpose of this study is to overview the Pinterest, which is a shopping-oriented Social Network Service (SNS) based on the image content. The Pinterest is a valuable online shopping mall marketing channel. By looking at the background growth and feature of service, the existence of the mega SNS as a center in the social business is to see how Pinterest is targeting a niche market. As a result of this study, Pinterest has the advantage against other SNS for joining with online shopping malls because a tendency of the traffic referrals from Pinterest is increasing and the average of the cost of the purchase is high. Therefore, this study is reflecting various cases of utilizing the online shopping malls.

본 연구에서는 제연방식 중 대형공간에서 주로 사용하는 거실급배기 방식에서 급기방식 및 방향에 따른 연기의 이동현상에 대해 CFD 도구인 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) 프로그램을 이용하여 확인해 보았다. 거실급배기 방식에서는 Sequence 설계의 어려움으로 주로 한쪽 방향에서만 급기가 이루어지는데, 한 방향에서만 급기를 실시할 경우 연기의 팽창압력에 급기되는 공기의 압력이 가중되어 원하지 않는 인접구역으로의 연기확산 속도가 빨라진다. 연기가 인접구역으로 확산되는 것을 최소화 하고 재실자의 피난시간을 최대한 보장하기 위해 급기를 한 방향이 아닌 화재실 인접구역에서 나누어 시행해 보았으며, 결론적으로 화재실 주변의 가시거리 감소시간은 인접구역이 비슷한 수준으로 조정되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 언택트 시대로 인해 인터넷 쇼핑 인구가 증가함에 따라 데스크톱 환경에서의 쇼핑몰 이용 시 가장 많이 사용하게 되는 내비게이션의 사례를 분석하고자 하였다. 이에 쇼핑몰의 탐색에 있어 구조적 탐색 유형에 따라 GNB와 LNB의 종류와 유형을 분석하고 그 구성요소를 알아보았다. GNB는 탐색구조의 최상위 요소로 콘텐츠 섹션의 레이블 구성을 바탕으로 사용자의 탐색을 유도하며 컬러, 텍스트, 아이콘, 이미지 요소를 배치할 수 있다. LNB는 드롭다운, 플라이아웃, 드롭라인 그리고 메가 메뉴의 형태로 분류할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 사용자가 많이 사용하는 오픈 마켓 중지 마켓과 인터파크의 내비게이션 구조를 분석하였다. 지 마켓의 GNB는 2단 구조로 컬러, 텍스트, 이미지, 아이콘 요소가 사용되었으며 인터파크는 3단 구조의 수평 레이블로 구성되어 있었다. 인터파크의 GNB는 지 마켓과는 달리 일시적인 콘텐츠 섹션인 계절 레이블에 뱃지를 두어 시선을 유도하였다. 두 쇼핑몰의 LNB는 모두 좌측에 배치된 로고 하단에 수직 텍스트 형태로 배치된 카테고리 메뉴에 마우스 오버하면 플라이아웃 메뉴가 돌출되며 플라이아웃 메뉴는 메가 메뉴의 레이아웃으로 구성된 복합 구조를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 인터넷 쇼핑이 증가하고 있는 요즘 쇼핑몰의 GNB와 LNB를 분석하여 사용자 경험 요소를 밝히는데 의의가 있으나 오픈 마켓 외 소셜 커머스나 대형 마트와 같은 타 쇼핑몰이 분석을 함께 하지 못한 것은 한계로 남는다.

Feng Shui practice is very popular in East Asia and has been rapidly adopted by the population of the West. As Feng Shui involves knowledge of object placement, it opens opportunities to market Feng Shui knowledge and products. This paper presents an analysis of a successful Feng Shui enterprise, World of Feng Shui (WOFS), that has been established by a well-known Feng Shui expert Lillian Too and her daughter Jennifer Too. The enterprise's marketing strategies and tactics are tied to the theoretical concept of social influence, widely researched in the consumer behavior literature. The three types of social influence (informational, utilitarian, and value-expressive) are examined in relation to WOFS' marketing strategies using secondary data material. The main results indicate that the strategies of WOFS enterprise address all three types of social influence. The articles generated on-and off-line can be mostly associated with the informational influence. The off- line activities such as events, courses/workshops, and TV shows are also informational in nature. The Q & A sections/postings can be considered as representative of the utilitarian influence. They give experts (e.g., Lillian Too) the opportunity to provide individuals with problem-specific recommendations. Mega-mall website provides the value-expressive influence as purchase and consumption of the Feng Shui products is most susceptible to this type of influence. In terms of implications, WOFS enterprise strategies are suitable not only for consumes but also for business executives in Asia and in the West as architects, designers, and homeowners across continents use Feng Shui practices for building placements and decoration of dwellings and workplaces. Feng Shui practice has some limitations such as conflicting opinions of experts and increased complexity when the dimension of time is taken into consideration. Still, Feng Shui as a practice is growing globally adjusting itself to regional and cultural challenges.
