Frequency analysis, t-test, ANOVA, reliability analysis, factor analysis, multiregression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The physical evidence was divided into 3 factors. Factor 1, 'matters related to appearances and decoration'; and Factor 3, matters related to atmosphere' differed significantly with monthly pocket money. However, all factors differed significantly by partner. Additionally, all factors positively(+) influenced customer's perception of value. In particular, factor 1, 'matters related to appearances and decoration' was the most positive factor. As a result, physical evidence can be regarded as efficient marketing tactic by which the intangible factors of restaurant-business may be removed. Therefore, food-service companies should endeavor to manage physical evidence ideally as a means of reducing the negative characteristics of service toward customers and inducing customers perceptions of value at family restaurants.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of service marketing mix on customers' perceptions of values at family restaurants in Seoul. Frequency analysis, ANOVA, reliability analysis, factor analysis, multi-regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. First, perceptions for items such as food (p<.001), price (p<.001), process (p<.001), and employees were significantly different with regard to monthly spending money, and food (p<.001), physical evidence (p<.001), and employees (p<.001) were also significantly different by partner. All of the mixes (food, price, place, employees p<.001; promotion, process, physical evidence p<.05) had positive influences on the customers' monetary and overall values. And the mixes of place p<.001; price and employees p<.01; and food, process and physical evidence p<.05 negatively affected non-monetary values, whereas promotion had a positive influence. As a result, we conclude that the service marketing mix is an efficient marketing tactic to remove intangible factors from restaurant businesses. Likewise it is highly recommended that food-service companies manage the marketing mix in a customerfriendly manner to minimize the negative characteristics of services toward customers, and to promote the customer appreciation of family restaurants.

Although structured interviews were conducted with 236 consenting subjects, only 194 who completed the ADL, IADL, and K-MMSE tests were used for statistical data analysis. Using ADL, IADL, K-MMSE scores, cluster analysis was first performed and resulted in two groups: IFG (Insufficiently Functioning Group) and SFG (Sufficiently Functioning Group). Chi-square tests for nominal scales, Mann-Whitney tests for ordinal scales, and ANOVAs and t-tests for interval and ratio scales were conducted to compare two groups. More than 70% of IFG were illiterates compared to 28.1% of SFG. 'Excessive eating', 'appetite', 'digestion', and 'balanced diet' did not differ between groups.
