Background: We conducted a cross-sectional study of residents within and outside Fukushima Prefecture to clarify their perceptions of the need for smartphone applications (apps) for explaining exposure doses. The results will lead to more effective methods for identifying target groups for future app development by researchers and municipalities, which will promote residents' understanding of radiological situations. Materials and Methods: In November 2019, 400 people in Fukushima Prefecture and 400 people outside were surveyed via a web-based questionnaire. In addition to basic characteristics, survey items included concerns about radiation levels and intention to use a smartphone app to keep track of exposure. The analysis was conducted by stratifying responses in each region and then cross-tabulating responses to concerns about radiation levels and intention to use an app by demographic variables. The intention to use an app was analyzed by binomial logistic regression analysis. Text-mining analyses were conducted in KH Coder software. Results and Discussion: Outside Fukushima Prefecture, concerns about the medical exposure of women to radiation exceeded 30%. Within the prefecture, the medical exposure of women, purchasing food products, and consumption of own-grown food were the main concerns. Within the prefecture, having children under the age of 18, the experience of measurement, and having experience of evacuation were significantly related to the intention to use an app. Conclusion: Regional and individual differences were evident. Since respondents differ, it is necessary to develop and promote app use in accordance with their needs and with phases of reconstruction. We expect that a suitable app will not only collect data but also connect local service providers and residents, while protecting personal information.

In this study, we investigated the impact of the information richness and reachness on the mobile purchasing and the moderating effect of individual characteristics. We examined the information richness and reachness through SNS information and Push notification of smartphone, respectively. As the moderating variables, we adopted customer's value orientation and innovativeness. In the main-effect model with no moderating variable, both of information richness and reachness showed significant effects on the perceived value of products and purchasing channel. Especially, the impact of information richness was more significant on product awareness, while the impact of information reachness was more significant on channel awareness. In the interaction-effect model with moderating variables, customer's value orientation showed significant moderating effect on the impact of perceived product value. However, customer's innovativeness did not show the significant moderating effect on the impact of perceived channel value. It implies that the impact of information reachness applies to the majority of customers, regardless of her [his] innovativeness. Therefore the organizations might be able to use Push notification to activate the customer's mobile purchasing.

Tea is one of the three most consumed drinks in the world along with coffee and cocoa, and it represents culture and tradition. There are more than 1,000 tea-related smartphone applications registered in the Apple App Store and Google Play. This study examined, for the consumers of the 20's, if there are differences in consumer preferences for tea-related applications based on gender, age, tea consumption amount and tea drinking duration. Based on surveys of 169 tea consumers, this study found that there were significant differences in consumer preferences for tea-related applications based on age and tea drinking amount. The applications of 'tea places,' 'entertainment,' and 'tea timer' were preferred by the consumers of 20's and 'etiquette,' 'tea ceremony,' 'teaware,'and 'tea information recording' were favored by the consumers of 30's and older. The consumers with higher drinking amount showed higher preferences for tea etiquette related applications. There were no significant differences for tea-related applications based on gender and tea drinking duration. The result of the study is expected to contribute to the development of tea related applications with higher appeals to consumers as well as traditional Korean drinks.
