Purpose - The effect of regional culture has been acknowledged for decades. However, very little research takes it as an important issue in the medical tourism service decision process. This study focuses on regional culture to identify customers' preference for medical tourism in the international environment. It is proposed that regional culture may work as an critical moderator in the international medical tourism destination choice process. Especially, the destination attributes may vary according to regional culture. Research design, data, and methodology - By the questionnaire survey, the sample is collected from 2,041 potential Chinese residents in different regions of China. Regression analysis is constructed to test the effect of regional culture on Chinese customers' destination preference. Results - Results imply that regional culture plays a critical moderating role in the destination choice process. Results also indicate that destination attributes including medicine and travel characteristics are the important predictors of destination preference. Conclusions - This study provides the fundamental base to use regional culture as a descriptive variable for segmentation when establishing an effective marketing strategy. Furthermore, this research suggests that different strategies relied on destination attributes should be made to attract more Chinese customers for the development of medical tourism industry.

The purpose of this study was to research and compare teachers' preferences for 'Great Math Class' by region and gender. The research was conducted on 261 high school math teachers by using non-probability sampling. As the results of the study, regional preference had no statistically significant difference in all four factors of 'Great Math Class' while gender preference had statistically significant difference only in the factor of teaching (methods) and learning methods. Both region and gender had statistically significant positive (+) relationship with preference for all four factors. This implies that it is necessary to consider socio-cultural factors rather than teachers' perception on class for regional differences in academic achievements in mathematics.

본 연구는 단양군이 개발한 3개의 고구려 음식과 19개의 향토음식에 대한 인지도와 선호도를 분석하여 향토음식 활성화의 기초자료로 제시하고자 한다. 설문지는 거주민과 관광객에게 각 150부씩 배포하고 261부를 회수하였고, 232부를 이용한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 22개의 향토음식에서 '올갱이 해장국', '도토리 묵밥', '소백산 산채 비빔밥', '더덕마늘구이'가 인지도와 선호도에서 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 인지도 분석에서 남성은 '올갱이 해장국'과 '남한강민물매운탕', 거주민들은 '곤드레 마늘솥밥', '올갱이 해장국', '남한강 민물매운탕과 회', '소백산 산채비빔밥'을 높게 인지하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 집적화 특징을 갖고 있는 향토음식은 단지가 형성되어 많은 관광객을 유인하고 있는 반면에 최근에 개발된 고구려 음식은 영화셋트장 주변에 음식점 단지를 형성하고 지리적 표시제도 도입 또는 상품명에 단양을 넣어 인지도 제고와 지역경제 활성화에 도움이 될 것이다. 셋째, 선호도 분석에서 남성은 '마늘육회', 거주민들은 '곤드레 마늘솥밥', '올갱이 해장국', '소백산 산채비빔밥', 50대는 '곤드레 마늘솥밥', '남한강 민물매운탕', '소백산 산채비빔밥을 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향토음식을 선호하는 노년층과 달리 젊은층을 어필할 수 있는 음식 맛과 각 재료의 대표적인 음식효능을 이용하여 선호도를 강화시켜야 할 것이다.
