The survey was conducted from October 15, 2012 to November 30, 2012 using questionnaires and the data were analyzed with the SPSS program. In general, younger women (20~30 years old) had a lower interest in Korean festival foods than slightly older women (40~50 years old). Most of women over 40 years of age prepared Korean festival foods at home, but many who were in their 20's (45.9%) and 30's (41.1%) obtained their foods from family and relatives. Overall, 62.5% of the subjects wanted to inherit Korean festival food from family and relatives. The dissemination of information and recipes of Korean festival foods were needed for succeeding to Korean festival foods. The taste score was significantly lower for women in their 20's compared to those over 40. Women under 40 reported a lower ease of cooking compared to women over 50. Tangguk (4.93) on Seollal showed the highest perception degree in the order of Namul (4.91), Tteokguk (4.90), and Sikhye (4.90). Jeon, Yaksik, Sikhye, and Gangjeong were the most highly preferred in every group. The preference degree of Pajeon was significantly higher in women under 40 than in those over 60. Tteokguk and Tangguk were more highly preferred in women in their 30's and 40's compared to the other groups. There was a significant positive correlation between preference for festival food and education level, degree of knowledge, degree of interest, will for inheritance, and will for learning (P<0.01). In conclusion, festival foods rich in local tradition should be developed, publicized and used to educate others. The simplification of cooking methods and the development of processed foods are needed to pass on the traditional food culture of Busan.

We surveyed dietitians' perception on application of festival foods in the school foodservice in Busan area. The questionnaires were distributed to 244 dietitians working in elementary(143 individuals), middle(50 ind.), and high schools(51 ind.). The mean scores of dietitians' perception for the succession of the festival foods are 4.57/5.00 at Seolnal, 4.28/5.00 at Jeongwoldaeboreum, 4.12/5.00 at Dongji, 4.02/5.00 at Chuseok, 3.91/5.00 at Sambok, 3.27/5.00 at Dano, 3.00/5.00 at Chopail, 2.67/5.00 at Samjitnal, and 2.65/5.00 at YuDu. The dietitians have frequently practice the Sambok foods to the school foodservice menu, followed by the foods for Dongji, Jeongwoldaeboreum, Seolnal, and Chuseok. About two third of dietitians(72.2%) answered that it is needed to provide festival foods as the school foodservice menu for festive days. However, the survey indicate that putting festival foods on the school foodservice is hampered by the facts that foods do not appeal to the students' taste and it is difficult to cook the foods by school foodservice facilities. Mean scores of dietitians' acquaintance with about the origins and contents of festive days are Dongji(3.67/5.00), Seolnal(3.63/5.00), Sambok(3.60/5.00), Jeongwaldaeboreum(3.58/5.00), Chuseok(3.39/5.00) and Dano(3.23/5.00). When the dietitians provided lunch for the students, 80.1% of them occasional give the information on the festival foods to the students. Therefore, it is recommended to hand down festival foods that the dietitians develope the recipe for foods applicable in school foodservice and e government adopt a policy and education programs.

Today, we are well aware of the traditional Korean foods of New Year's Day(Seollal), the Korean Harvest Festival(Chuseok), the First Full Moon Day(Jeongwol Daeboreum), the Winter Solstice(Dongji), and the hottest summer day(Sambok).

This study was conducted to provide the information necessary for the development of native local foods associated with the "2008 World Insect Festival in Hampyeong" and to contribute to the efforts to market the festival as tourist attraction and increase the income of the local community. To assess the local foods and restaurants, we investigated the principal products, inclination for sightseeing and recognition of the "Butterfly festival" by distributing questionnaires to local restaurant operators, employees and general tourists. The result was as follows: 1. The general tourists chose scenery as the most important factor in a sightseeing tour, followed by food, lodging, and transportation. 2. The tourists enjoyed eating native local foods, and they indicated that the taste was important. 3. Regarding the cost of food, 53.6% of the respondents answer that 10 to 20 thousand won was a resonable price, and they also reported wanting to eat seafood in Hampyeong. Thus the Menu of seafood to be served at the Hampyeong festival needs to be developed first followed by that of the healthy food. This result showed that individuals prefer fish to meat and healthy food to high-calorie foods.

A review was made about the foods for korean festival days through such literature as kyongdojapji ( 京都雜誌 ), youlyangsesiki ( 洌陽歲時記 ) and Dongkooksesiki ( 東國歲時記 ). The focus was on the 'gala foods' in Kangweon province. A survey was made on two separate areas; urban and rural district, The result showed that there was no difference in celebrating gala days between two separate area. Those festival days which are celebrating are seolnal (New Year's day) (98.5%), chusok (mid-autumn festival) (97.7%), Sangwonnal (the 15th day of January) (95.1%), and dongjee (one of 24 seasons by lunar calender) (83.1%) in the order of higher percentages. Only less than 10% of the subjects for this survey are keeping on celebrating napyong (3.5%), baikjong (the 15th day of July) (5.4%), jungyang (the 9th days of September) (6.7%) samjinnal (8.6%) and yoodooil (the 15th day of June) (9.2%). Gala foods, such as dduggook, mandoogook, injulmi (glutinous rice cake) and sikhe (sweet rice beverage) on Seolnal, ogokbab (the rice made of five kinds of cereals), jinchas (various kinds of boiled vegetables) and buryum (chestnut, pinenut and walnut) on sangwonnal, songpyun (rice cake of chusok) on chusok, patjook (rice-gruel mixed with red beans) on dongjii were being enjoyed by most people. Gala foods on seolnal and chusok had a greater variety, compared with those enjoyed on other festival days. I think it is a pity that other gala foods except those just mentioned are enjoyed in a lower percentage or almost forgotten.

This study was conducted to investigate the actual state of utilization of Korean traditional foods by Korean Americans residing in L.A. area and to provide come policies, to improve their attitudes for Korean traditional foods. The proper period preparing traditional foods was the occasion of family events(47.0% )and Korean festivals(40.8%). Festival foods were prepared in Sulnal( =New Year's Day), Chusok( =the Korean Thanksgiving Day), Daeborum( =the 15th of January by the lunar calendar), Dongji( =the winter solstice) and Tano( =the 5th day of the 5th by lunar month), respectively. Sixty five percent of all the respondents expressed their wish to hand down the cooking methods of traditional foods. However, only28.6% of the respondents at their twenties replied positively on this matter. To maintain and develop traditional foods abroad, it is necessary that older generations sometimes offer opportunities to meet with them to the coming korean generations to taste traditional foods and that Korean food companies establish special selling agencies abroad and export standardized traditional foods. And furthermore, if tourism corporations and cooking schools hold a food exhibition and or a food-tasting party, occasionally, in conjunction with the embassies and legations abroad, the utilization of traditional foods will increase.

This study was conducted to examine how the Jewish nation, which disappeared in the history, has come to history again after 2000 years, considering the investigation of the Pentateuch from old testaments in the bible that might be recorded from B.C 1446 to 1406 about 3440 years ago. The foods in the era of the Pentateuch were classified by a strict rule which stipulated eatable clean foods and uneatable unclean foods. According to the Pentateuch, Israelites must not have blood, and the rule has still influenced them strongly. Sacrificial rites were classified into five categories: burnt offering, grain offering, peace offering, sin offering and guilt offering. The subdivisions of the seasons were Passover, Festival of Unleavened bread, Festival of First fruits, Festival of Harvest, Festival of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Festival of Shelters; and those seasons were explained clearly by their meanings and even methods. Contrary to general food culture instructed by custom and tradition, the commandments transcribed the food cultures for the Food Sanitation Act in themselves long ago. Those commandments even remark the results brought to the observant and the disobedient stringently.
