With the increase in online shopping and delivery food consumption since the pandemic, solving environmental problems caused by single-use packaging has become an important issue. 'Upcycling' is a combination of 'Upgrade' and 'Recycle', and it is the rebirth of obsolete or discarded objects by adding new value to them, and there are currently various upcycled products on the market. In order to activate upcycling, consumers' awareness of the environment and their values for consumption are very important. This study aims to investigate the influence of students' environmental concern, environmental experience, and consumption value on their purchase intention of upcycled products. Based on the results of previous studies on environmental concern, environmental experience, and consumption value, hypotheses were set, and a survey was conducted among university students nationwide to test the hypotheses. The results of this study are as follows First, environmental concern has a significant positive effect on purchase intention of upcycled products. It can be seen that the more environmental concerns such as global warming and waste disposal problems increase, the more positive attitudes toward upcycled products increase. Second, the research hypothesis that environmental knowledge will have a positive effect on the purchase intention of upcycled products is rejected. It was found that environmental knowledge is acquired through environmental education and many SNS, but it does not have a direct effect on the purchase intention of upcycled products. Third, it was found that the consumption value of college students has a positive effect on the purchase intention of upcycled products by increasing their positive perception of upcycled products. Fourth, college students' purchase intention of upcycled products has a positive effect on their behavioral intention to purchase upcycled products. The results of the study provide implications for relevant organizations such as universities and companies to effectively design upcycling-related education. It is also expected to have a positive impact on the use of upcycled products by providing basic information on the characteristics of consumers who purchase upcycled products.

We intend an empirical assessment of examining the differences in the appearance management behaviors and demographic variables among groups classified by the clothing consumption values. The questionnaires are administered to 493 female and male adults above 20 years old in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Daegu and Kyungpook regions. For analysis of data from 478 respondents, descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, ANOVA, Duncan test and ${\chi}^2$ test were applied. We show the following results. First, Factor analyses were employed for the clothing consumption values and appearance management behaviors. Six factors were for clothing consumption values: Individuality, appearance attractive, social, functional, conditional and fashion clothing consumption value. Four factors were for appearance management behaviors: weight training, skin care, hair care, make-up and clothing selection. According to clothing consumption values, four groups were classified: the passive, functional, social, and active group. We did cluster analysis to the appearance management behaviors of weight training, skin care, hair care, make-up and clothing selection. Second, the social and active groups were more interested in individuality, appearance attractive, social, functional, conditional and fashion clothing value. And they were also more involved in appearance management behaviors. Third, among the demographic variables, the single and female in 20s and 30s with higher level of education belonged to the active group. In this contribution, we find significant differences in the appearance management behavior and demographic variables classified by the clothing consumption values.

The coffee industry has grown very fast ever since international coffee brands were launched in the 1990's. Recently, consumers have begun to focus on coffee produced ethically. This phenomenon is due to ethical-consumption consciousness, which consists of three factors, emotional value, social value and function value. Most studies on this topic have focused on consumers who purchase fair-trade coffee. Thus, this study is novel in its focus on baristas who sell fairtrade coffee in their shops as well as differences from former studies. The three factors of ethical-consumption consciousness of baristas affected the sale of fair-trade coffee, except for the function value. Therefore, the sale of fair-trade coffee could be influenced by ethical-consumption consciousness of baristas. This study shows that education of baristas can promote the sale of fair-trade coffee. However, there are limitations as it only researched coffee brands ranked in the top 5, so further studies will be required in the future.

To do this, it was defined the source of IHG from appliance and the calculation method through the case study of international and domestic codes. And the equipment related datum such possession, usage or not, etc were collected through field survey in apartment units, and the appliances' electricity consumption were measured separately from overall electricity consumption. Annual electricity consumption value were calculated with field survey datum and appliances' electricity consumption measurement datum, and then IHG value was calculated by applying PHPP v9 method. And it was conducted correlation analysis between IHG value and the area for exclusive use, the number of occupants, and then the IHG from applianace estimation model was deducted with regression analysis. Finally, it was analyzed the present level and of the domestic code(The Building Energy Efficiency Rating System) comparing with the value of estimation model, and the various international codes(HERS, Building America, SAP).

본 연구는 소비자의 친사회적 소비행위에 대한 행동적 가치인식이 친사회적 소비실천에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 사회적으로 공동의 가치를 추구하는 데 필요한 집단적 결속력을 높이는 신뢰와 사회관계의 호혜성에 근거한 소비자의 사회적 자본의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 연구결과, 전반적으로 친사회적 소비에 대한 행동적 가치인식이 긍정적이며, 이타적 가치, 감정적 가치, 사회적 가치, 기능적 가치 순으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 소비자의 친사회적 소비실천 수준을 살펴본 결과, 연령에 따른 차이만 유의하게 나타났다. 부당기업에 대한 거부의 행동을 제외하고 모든 실천행동에서 연령이 높을수록 더 적극적인 것으로 나타났다. 친사회적 소비실천에 대한 행동적 가치인식의 영향과 사회적 자본의 조절효과를 검증한 결과, 기능적 가치와 감정적 가치의 영향이 유의하게 나타났으며, 신뢰는 감정적 가치인식과, 호혜성은 기능적 가치인식과 유의한 상호작용이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 사회적으로 긍정적인 영향을 끼치기 위한 소비자의 역할이 실천되기 위한 방향으로의 전환을 촉진하는데 필요한 이론적 시사점과 실무적 시사점에 대해 논의하였다.
