The aim of this study was to identify the awareness of the animal registration system, as well as to determine if there is a difference according to the types of pet attachment of consumers raising companion dogs. For this purpose, 250 data were collected by conducting an online survey and analyzed the data using SPSS 24.0. As a result of the study, pet attachment was identified as a companion attachment and emotional attachment. According to the form of attachment to dogs, the consumer types were categorized into three groups: type of simple cohabitation(25.6%), type of close companion(30.4%), and type of strong bond(44.0%). It was found that there are statistically significant differences in the relationship between the recognition and registration of the animal registration system for each consumer type. In addition, there were statistically significant differences in the perception and preference of the animal registration system depending on the type of consumer. This study has significance in that it suggests the effective direction of developing the consumer-oriented animal registration system.

During the course of play, children gain special experience in a place where they can explore their surrounding environment and feel emotional stability. This experience of attachment to the place of play is very important in that play can serve as a measurement of the child's growth and development. Therefore, the environment surrounding the child should be understood as a meaningful place that affects a child's life beyond the place of play. The purpose of this study is to propose a spatial planning method where the formation of place attachment is considered in the design of child care facilities, as this is where preschool children spend much of their early formative years. The research methods are as follow: First, we surveyed the relationship between child development and place attachment through literature reviews and found that the factors that form place attachment were summarized as accessibility, complexity, segmentation and nature friendliness. Second, we examined the spatial characteristics of Mitsuru Senda, a Japanese architect who has been intensively studying children's play environments, as well as the characteristics of children's play proposed by his academic research. Finally, we analyzed the relationship between the spatial characteristics supporting play shown in Senda's work, and the four factors of place attachment formation and proposed a planning method for space design applicable to child care facilities.

Recently, Podaegi, a traditional Korean childcare product, are spreading abroad like a trend. Sites specializing in the sale of ' Podaegi have been created in the UK, France, and the US, and their popularity is increasing. In addition, China's preference for safe products and demand for global products and premium baby products are rapidly increasing. Nevertheless, the proportion of baby products in Korea is still very small. Therefore, this study seeks to find the differentiated value and direction of development of Podaegi by finding a form and method similar to Podaegi and overseas. The research method was reviewed based on literature research and actual cases. As a result, Podaegi has high practicality and emotional value, and attachment parenting is possible. When the stages of attachment parenting were compared and analyzed, it was confirmed that attachment parenting is possible for a wider age group than others, and that Korean traditional Podaegi has developed differently from Western ones, and that Korean Podaegi is very advantageous for attachment parenting. Therefore, in the future, Korea's Podaegi needs to meet overseas import standards, propose designs that fit the current situation, and promote and develop differentiated values abroad.

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of airport staff's attachment and participation to Incheon International Airport on satisfaction through mediating effects of development support and negative perception. This paper surveyed airline staff who worked at airport and conducted an empirical analysis based on survey results. This is because the effect of community members' attachment on satisfaction has been reviewed quite substantially. However, there has been insufficient research on the effect of attachment and participation on satisfaction through mediating effects of development support and emotional perception. According to empirical analysis, it was found that the participation of airport staff had a significant positive effect on satisfaction. In addition, support for development projects has also been proven to have a mediating effect. Following the empirical research results, this paper suggested implications for the 5^th development project at Incheon International Airport.

This study also aims to look at if consumers form different type of relationship quality with various relation partners. In this study, qualitative research was conducted on 25 female consumers to come to a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of fashion consumers' diverse loyal relationships. Fashion consumer's relationship quality consisted of 'self attachment', 'symbolic', 'trust', 'intimacy', 'compensational bind', and 'habitual alternative'. 6 relationship quality dimensions were distinguished according to each dimension's emotional involvement level and conscious activeness level of consumers. While self attachment was classified as emotional and active relationship quality, compensational bind and habitual alternative were typical relationship quality types of fashion store loyalty such as department store loyalty, thus classified as inertial and cognitive relationship quality type. This study might provide a useful direction to apparel brands and retailers in finding out which relationship quality type is more effective for differentiated marketing strategies.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the brand loyalty formation by positive labeling. Affecting such factors as involvement, self-image, community engagement, preference, and choice cutback, positive labeling can be seen as one of psychological factors that shapes consumer's behavior and their decision. This study was carried out because little research was done to examine the influence of positive labeling toward brand loyalty, and also to find out the benefits that consumers can get from being labeled in positive terms. Data were collected through survey questionnaire and 151 usable responses were used. Following a series of pretests and confirmatory factor analysis helped to purify measures and verify the psychometric properties of the scale. Structural equation modeling with AMOS was used for testing of research hypotheses. The result of data analysis demonstrated the positive relationship between labeling and brand loyalty, i.e. positive labeling indirectly leads to consumers' loyalty toward a brand. Findings revealed significant relationship between involvement and emotional attachment, as well as the relationship between community engagement and choice cutback. The results gave support for the hypothesis of moderating effect of buzz on the relationship between involvement and emotional attachment, even though the hypothesis of moderating effect of distinction was rejected. Taking Apple's rivalry strategy as initial point, this study highlights the role of labeling in creating social identity. The study attempts to show the positive consequences of labeling strategy for firms that seeks ways of good competition without engaging into conflicts.
