This paper presents an interactive decision procedure to aggregate each group member's preferences when each group member articulates his or her preference information incompletely. An index, an indicative for the preference strength between alternatives, is derived to aid each decision maker to articulate preference information about alternatives. We develop a mathematical programming model that can establish dominance relations when the preference information about values of alternatives, attribute weights, and group member's importance weights are provided incompletely. Also, the preference relation between alternatives is to be considered in the model. Based on the preference strength measure and mathematical model, we develop an interactive group decision support procedure.

The objective of this study is to test the influence of the landscape meaning illustrated to subjects on their landscape preference and to investigate the difference of the response(Influence Value;IV) between cultural landscape and natural landscape. For this, color-slide surrogates for cultural and natural landscape are shown to Experimental Group(EG) and Control Group(CG)(between-subject design). And Experimental Group is divided into meaning illustrated Before and After Group(within-subject design). For given 45 slide scenes of cultural and natural landscape, the subjects were asked to measure their preference on ten point scale. The results are as follows; 1. The influence of value illustration is positive in the preference. Specifically, this effect was more powerful for the low beauty landscape than for the high beauty landscape. 2. The relation between the IV and the preference of non illustrated group was deeply correlated. And IV of cultural landscape was higher than that of natural landscape. 3. It is identified that the meaning illustration about high naturalness landscape such as the swamp and alpine landscape is more effective than other natural landscape. 4. Also, the preference was more influenced by the personal task associated with landscape experience. But the statistical significance between the preference and experience about landscape didn't exist. Accordingly, it was suggested by this study that the illustrated meanings of landscape and perceived landscape form were also major influential factors on the landscape preference.

Considering that the effectiveness of ads varies according to the credibility of consumers, it is necessary to establish data regarding consumer credibility in relation to online reviews. To conduct a successful study on the marketing strategies of online reviews, it is also necessary to analyze the relationship between credibility and the various factors that influence the purchase intentions of consumers. Therefore, this study attempted to examine the relationship between consumer trust of on-line reviews, brand preference, ads credibility, and purchase intentions in relation to cosmetics. The study was conducted through a normative descriptive survey method using stimuli and a self-administered questionnaire. Analysis of the structural equation model was conducted for the data analysis. The results revealed that consumer reliance on online reviews of cosmetics influences brand preference, credibility of brand ads and purchase intentions. The results also revealed that consumers' on-line reviews, brand preference, and trust of brand ads are important factors for increasing the purchase intentions. The mediation effect of brand preference and brands' ads credibility were found in the process where on-line reviews exercise an influence on the purchase intentions. It was also found that brand preference has a stronger influence on purchase intention than credibility of brand ads. It was discovered that the credibility of on-line reviews directly influences purchase intentions more than indirectly influences. Considering the results of this study, programs that encourage customers to post on-line reviews, and strategies to promote brand preference by targeting groups that exhibit high trust in online reviews would be recommended.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between oriented quality of life and fashion image with a focus on their futures. The results of this study are as follows. First, oriented quality of life was sampled as six factors such as information preference, job preference, self-preference, leisure preference, health preference, and self-defense preference, whereas an oriented fashion image was drawn as three factors such as urban image, individual image, and feminine image. Second, the self-defense preference had a significant effect on modern image and individual image as in Photo 1, while leisure preference and self-defense preference exerted a significant influence on feminine image in Photo 2. In Photo 3, leisure preference and self-defense preference affected urban image significantly, and health preference and self-defense preference respectively influenced individual image and feminine image. Third, as a result of investigating the difference between oriented quality of life and the sub-element of oriented fashion image according to the type of oriented quality of life, six groups of oriented quality of life (self-preference, job preference, self-defense preference, information preference, leisure preference, and health preference group) displayed significant differences only in individual image as presented in Photo 2. Fourth, in consequence of examining differences in the factor of an oriented fashion image according to the type oriented quality of life, six groups according to the type of oriented quality of life presented significant differences in the individual, splendor, elegant, refined, youthful, feminine, and modern image among the factor of oriented fashion image.

In this study, the notion of payment intention price was introduced and examined in relation with self-image congruence, clothing preference and two types of reference price: expected price and fair price. One hundred samples of female collegiate students participated in the group survey and responded to the instrument including variables of clothing image evaluation, clothing preference, reference price, payment intention price toward a one-piece dress as the stimulus, and ideal self-image perception. Descriptive statistics, correlations, and regressions were applied on data analysis. The results were as follow. Payment intention price was determined by clothing preference and fair price, and the explaining power of fair price was greater than clothing preference. One confirmatory path was observed that self-image congruence effects clothing preference, and then clothing preference effects payment intention price. The other confirmatory path was from expected price to fair price and fair price to payment intention price.

This study is aimed at suggesting a plan for creating a landscape environment by grasping a landscape preference according to the change of middle span and sag ratio which is a consideration factor when designing the suspension bridge representing long-span bridges and image property of the bridge while applying SD method to a relation between landscape preference and image factor, and a connection of design element with image factor. An analysis on landscape preference about the bridge landscape showed from what the longer the length of middle span, the extent of sag ratio of preference decreased, the longer the middle span low sag ratio was preferred and the higher the landscape preference became. In landscape preference and image factor, the attribute of sag ratio with high landscape preference was all positively correlated with "stability", "plasticity", and "aesthetic" but an influence of "plasticity" was insignificant. In the relation between design element and image factor, the factor of middle span and sag ratio was more related to the factor of "stability" and the lower the sag ratio and the longer the middle span, the higher the "stability" was rated. This result showed the image property of "plasticity" was insignificant among the one of preference in landscape and to highlight the one of "plasticity" a complementary experiment was done with a change in balance and symmetry elements not in proportional element of middle span and sag ratio. The result showed the image property of "plasticity" was more highlighted in the suspension bridge of 3-tower and different bilateral symmetry at sag, and when designing the landscape of suspension bridge later on, the elements of balance and symmetry as well as the proportional element should be considered and reflected in the design.
