BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The obese population is rapidly increasing because of reduced physical activity and a Westernized diet; consequently, various chronic diseases are more prevalent. With the increasing interest in body shape and appearance, research on body shape perceptions and accompanying weight control behaviors are needed for healthy weight management. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on randomly selected 536 (209 men and 327 women) aged 20 to 65 years. Body mass index (BMI), body-shape perception, weight control behavior, quality of sleep, and place of residence were collected using self-reported questionnaires. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted using complex design in each groups. Collected data were analyzed using the SAS 9.4 statistical package, and the significance level was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS: When these two variables were divided into four groups, they were found to influence dieting attempts. People with abnormal weights who were dissatisfied with their body shapes attempted dieting 5.23 times more than those with healthy weights and satisfaction with their body shapes. Further, those with normal weights but dissatisfaction with their bodies attempted dieting 4.45 times more than those who were satisfied with their shapes. Subjects in their 20s attempted dieting 2.53 times more than those in their 30s and 40s, and female subjects attempted dieting 2.24 times more than male subjects. CONCLUSIONS: A correct perception of one's shape can be an important factor for dietary behavior, as body shape perceptions and dieting attempts are strongly related. Additionally, healthy weight management and nutrition education are important elements to incorporate into a weight control program aimed at preventing excessive weight control behaviors and promoting correct perceptions of body shape.

Purpose : This study was carried out to compare actual obesity rate, body shape perception and weight control between outpatients visiting obesity center and general population in the $20{\sim}30$ age bracket. Methods : The respondents were 72 females including 38 outpatients and 34 general population in the $20{\sim}30$ age bracket. We compared the results of the questionnaires about body shape, obesity and weight control between two groups. Data were analyzed by Student T-test and Chi-square test. Results : In questionnaire survey results, the average BMI, obesity rate, body shape distortion of the respondents who have normal weight, concern for weight control in outpatients group were significantly higher than general population group. Satisfaction on weight control in distorted group was lower than undistorted group. Conclusion : A distortion of the body shape caused unsatisfaction on weight control and it was significantly high in outpatients group, especially among the respondents who have normal weight. It is considered that the distortion of the body shape should be corrected by counselling for proper treatment.

This paper is a research about the expression and characteristics of sense space by a phenomenological approach through body from an anthropocentric point of view. The phenomenological expression elements of sense space have been abstracted by putting the characteristics of body perception into shape through the phenomenological approach. This research aims to provide the expression and characteristics of sense space that can be applied by phenomenological elements of emotional expression, and analyze their application level by phenomenological body perception in space through corresponding examples. As a result of this research, the expressions of sense space approach - such as migration of moving lines, reiteration and segmentation of region, spatial flexibility, transferal of sense, stimulation of combined senses, symbolic abstraction of memory, perception of environment and space, time by light, phenomenal water space, time expression by surrounding environments etc. - and the characteristics of sense space according to each expression have been obtained through the phenomenological expression elements in sense space such as expansive perception by consecutive scenes, spatial and sensory experience, embodiment of place, phenomenal change by time. It aims to grope for a new approach and possibility to the embodiment and expression of sense space through the expression of sense space approach based on the phenomenological body perception.

최근 자동차 메이커간의 인수 합병 등으로 차량 제조기술의 평준화와 전반적인 차량성능의 향상으로 자동차 시장은 소비의 성숙단계에 접어들고 있다. 그와 아울러 차량의 신규구매 수요는 감소하고 대체수요 중심으로 변화되는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이에 따라 하드웨어(hardware)를 중심으로 하는 기술적 특성보다는 소프트웨어(software)적인 성격을 가진 디자인의 비중이 상대적으로 높아지는 것이 최근의 자동차 개발과 소비의 특징이라고 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 특성으로 인해 디자인에서 높은 창의성과 완성도를 확보하기 위한 방안으로 거시적(巨視的) 안목에서 조형작업과 그에 따른 감성의 구현과 관련된 조형문법(shape grammar)의 개념이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 승용차의 스타일에서 형태에 의한 기호(記號 sign)와 그것의 인식(認識, perception)과정에 매개하는 특성인자(特性因子)로써 차체 각 부분의 비례를 고찰하고, 그것을 거시적 이미지의 조형문법개념 형성의 수단으로의 활용 가능성을 살펴보았다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate weight control and the relative influence of individual variables affecting children's attempts to control weight. The study subjects were 319 elementary school children. First, the average body height and weight of the children who participated in this study was somewhat larger in boys and similar in girls, as compared with the normal body shape of Korean children. More boys were classified as overweight than girls, based on BMI. Both boys and girls were dissatisfied with their body shape, and especially the girls showed higher dissatisfaction rate than the boys did. Almost half of the children were concerned about weight control and girls had higher concern than boys. Of the children, 38.8% had controlled their weight; however there was no difference between their sexes. There were significant differences between children who had and had not experienced weight control in the following variables: stress caused by obesity, body satisfaction, BMI, subjective body shape perception and concern about weight control. Therefore, discriminant function analysis was performed to determine the discrimination of these variables between the two groups. From the analysis results, the most critical factor was BMI in the boys and concern about weight control in the girls. This finding should be reflected in the design of weight control programs for children i.e., boys should be encouraged to perceive correctly their own body shape and to control weight by maintaining a well-balanced diet and moderate exercise over a long period of time, rather than by skipping meals, while girls should be inspired with sound values and attitudes regarding their body shape, rather than provided with the concrete information on how to control weight.
