  • 본 연구는 우리나라의 대표적인 생태관광 목적지라고 할 수 있는 한라산국립공원을 대상으로 환경해설 프로그램의 일환으로 조성된 자연학습탐방로 탐방객의 이용 후 만족을 평가하여 국립공원에서의 생태관광의 조기 정착을 위한 공원관리 자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 고안되었다. 어리목 광장에서 탐방을 마치고 귀가하는 탐방객들을 대상으로 2006년 8월과 9월, 두 달간 주중과 주말에 설문조사를 실시하여 총 144매의 유효표본을 분석에 이용하였다. 연구결과 한라산국립공원 탐방객의 인구통계학적 특성은 기존 우리나라 국립공원 탐방객의 특성과 일치되는 경향을 보였다. 전반적으로 국립공원에 조성되어 있는 자연학습탐방로에 대한 인지수준은 낮고 이용경험도 많지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실제 이용 후 만족의 정도와 재방문의사, 권유의사는 비교적 높은 것으로 나타나 생태교육의 장으로서 추후 국립공원의 역할과 자연학습탐방로 등 환경해설 관련 시설과 프로그램의 기능 확대에 대한 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 자연학습탐방로의 이용만족에 영향을 미치는 속성으로는 물리적 시설관리는 물론 접근성과 안전성, 환경해설의 독특성과 흥미, 교육성 등 내용적 측면도 고른 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나 환경해설시설의 도입과 조성 등 아직 생태관광의 초기단계인 국립공원의 현실에 많은 과제를 남기고 있다. 본 연구는 조사대상이 한라산국립공원에 한정되고 자연학습탐방로에 대한 이용실태 조사에 머문 한계점을 지닌다. 보다 체계적이고 실천적인 국립공원의 생태적 관리를 위해서는 생태관광객의 만족과 자연학습탐방로를 포함, 환경해설의 운영효과에 영향을 미치는 제 속성의 파악과 정교한 측정도구의 개발이 요망된다.

  • 생활수준과 교육수준이 매우 낮은 저개발국가에서의 임신분만 환경을 알아보고 건강관련 행위 실천(산전진찰, 시설분만, 제대기구소독)과 지식과 태도와의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 네팔 돌카 마을에서 지난 1년간(1994년 4월 13일$\sim$1995년 4월 12일)출산한 경험이 있는 산모를 대상으로 일반적 특성, 임신과 분만에 관련된 지식, 태도, 산전진찰률, 분만환경 등을 조사하였다. 이 지역의 임신과 분만에 관련된 지식수준은 낮은 편으로 대상자의 87.5%가 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없었다. 대상자의 29.6%는 임신시 흡연이 태아에 해가 없다고 하였으며, 42.8%는 임신시 음주와 약의 복용이 태아에 해가 없다고 답하였고, 17.1%가 제대절단시 소독하지 않은 기구를 사용해도 유해하지 않다고 응답하였는데, 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우, 그리고 보건기관까지의 거리가 멀 수록 올바르지 못한 지식을 가지고 있었다. 응답자의 56.6%가 산전진찰이 필요없다는 태도를 보였고, 42.8%가 질출혈시 병원을 방문할 필요가 없다는 태도를 보였는데, 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건 교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우, 그리고 보건기관까지의 거리가 멀수록 바람직하지 못한 태도를 가지고 있었다. 또한 82.9%가 분만과정 자체가 불결한 것이라고 여기고 있었다. 한번이라도 산전진찰을 받은 경험이 있는 산전진찰 경험률은 28.3%였는데 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우에 산전진찰 미경험률이 높았다. 시설분만율은 5.3%로 매우 저조하였고, 시설 외 분만인 경우 82.6%가 제대절단기구를 소독하지 않고 사용하고 있었는데 교육을 받은 적이 없는 경우, 보건교육을 받은 경험이 없는 경우, 그리고 보건기관까지의 거리가 멀수록 소독을 하지 않고 사용하고 있었다. 지식과 태도와의 관계에 있어서는 지식이 많은 군이 산전진찰의 필요성을 더 느끼며 질출혈시 병원방문의 필요성을 더 느끼고 있어, 임신과 분만에 관련하여 더 바람직한 태도를 가지고 있었다. 태도와 실천과의 관계에 있어서는 바람직한 태도를 가진 산모군이 산전진찰 경험률이 높았으며, 시설분만이 많아 실천율이 높았다. 다변량 분석에서도 지식이 태도에 양(陽)의 영향을 미치는 변수였으며, 태도는 실천에 영향을 미치는 유의한 양(陽)의 변수여서 실천을 위해서는 긍정적인 태도가 선행되어야 하고, 그러기 위하여는 먼저 올바른 지식을 가지고 있어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 연구결과로 볼 때, 저개발국가에서의 분만환경은 매우 열악한 편으로 모자의 건강수준 향상을 위해서는 예방적 기능으로서 보건교육 활동이 더욱 중요 성을 가지게 된다. 효율적 보건교육활동을 위해서는 보건교육을 보다 긴요하게 요하는 인구군이 어떤 계층이냐 하는 대상파악에 특별히 유념하여야 하는데 주로 교육수준이 낮고 생활이 어려운 인구층, 그리고 보건기관으로부터 멀리 떨어져 있는 사람들에게 중점적으로 교육을 시도하여야 하겠는데 이들 나라는 대부분의 국민이 교육수준이 낮고 생활수준이 낮은 편으로 보건교육시 단순한 지식의 전달에 그칠 것이 아니라 동기 유발을 가져와 행위변화를 할 수 있도록 보다 세밀한 연구노력이 필요하다. 또한 순회진료와 보건교육을 하는 의료캠프가 활성화되어야 하겠다. 향후 저개발국에 의료단을 파견하여 그 지 역의 보건문제 해결에 도움을 주기 위하여는 이와 같은 연구가 계속 진행되어 실천에 영향을 주는 요인들을 밝혀 지역보건의료 프로그램에 적극 활용해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

온라인 주식게시판 정보와 주식시장 활동에 관한 상관관계 연구 (A Study about the Correlation between Information on Stock Message Boards and Stock Market Activity)

  • Individual investors are increasingly flocking to message boards to seek, clarify, and exchange information. Businesses like Seekingalpha.com and business magazines like Fortune are evaluating, synthesizing, and reporting the comments made on message boards or blogs. In March of 2012, Yahoo! Finance Message Boards recorded 45 million unique visitors per month followed by AOL Money and Finance (19.8 million), and Google Finance (1.6 million) [McIntyre, 2012]. Previous studies in the finance literature suggest that online communities often provide more accurate information than analyst forecasts [Bagnoli et al., 1999; Clarkson et al., 2006]. Some studies empirically show that the volume of posts in online communities have a positive relationship with market activities (e.g., trading volumes) [Antweiler and Frank, 2004; Bagnoli et al., 1999; Das and Chen, 2007; Tumarkin and Whitelaw, 2001]. The findings indicate that information in online communities does impact investors' investment decisions and trading behaviors. However, research explicating the correlation between information on online communities and stock market activities (e.g., trading volume) is still evolving. Thus, it is important to ask whether a volume of posts on online communities influences trading volumes and whether trading volumes also influence these communities. Online stock message boards offer two different types of information, which can be explained using an economic and a psychological perspective. From a purely economic perspective, one would expect that stock message boards would have a beneficial effect, since they provide timely information at a much lower cost [Bagnoli et al., 1999; Clarkson et al., 2006; Birchler and Butler, 2007]. This indicates that information in stock message boards may provide valuable information investors can use to predict stock market activities and thus may use to make better investment decisions. On the other hand, psychological studies have shown that stock message boards may not necessarily make investors more informed. The related literature argues that confirmation bias causes investors to seek other investors with the same opinions on these stock message boards [Chen and Gu, 2009; Park et al., 2013]. For example, investors may want to share their painful investment experiences with others on stock message boards and are relieved to find they are not alone. In this case, the information on these stock message boards mainly reflects past experience or past information and not valuable and predictable information for market activities. This study thus investigates the two roles of stock message boards-providing valuable information to make future investment decisions or sharing past experiences that reflect mainly investors' painful or boastful stories. If stock message boards do provide valuable information for stock investment decisions, then investors will use this information and thereby influence stock market activities (e.g., trading volume). On the contrary, if investors made investment decisions and visit stock message boards later, they will mainly share their past experiences with others. In this case, past activities in the stock market will influence the stock message boards. These arguments indicate that there is a correlation between information posted on stock message boards and stock market activities. The previous literature has examined the impact of stock sentiments or the number of posts on stock market activities (e.g., trading volume, volatility, stock prices). However, the studies related to stock sentiments found it difficult to obtain significant results. It is not easy to identify useful information among the millions of posts, many of which can be just noise. As a result, the overall sentiments of stock message boards often carry little information for future stock movements [Das and Chen, 2001; Antweiler and Frank, 2004]. This study notes that as a dependent variable, trading volume is more reliable for capturing the effect of stock message board activities. The finance literature argues that trading volume is an indicator of stock price movements [Das et al., 2005; Das and Chen, 2007]. In this regard, this study investigates the correlation between a number of posts (information on stock message boards) and trading volume (stock market activity). We collected about 100,000 messages of 40 companies at KOSPI (Korea Composite Stock Price Index) from Paxnet, the most popular Korean online stock message board. The messages we collected were divided into in-trading and after-trading hours to examine the correlation between the numbers of posts and trading volumes in detail. Also we collected the volume of the stock of the 40 companies. The vector regression analysis and the granger causality test, 3SLS analysis were performed on our panel data sets. We found that the number of posts on online stock message boards is positively related to prior stock trade volume. Also, we found that the impact of the number of posts on stock trading volumes is not statistically significant. Also, we empirically showed the correlation between stock trading volumes and the number of posts on stock message boards. The results of this study contribute to the IS and finance literature in that we identified online stock message board's two roles. Also, this study suggests that stock trading managers should carefully monitor information on stock message boards to understand stock market activities in advance.

  • 이 글은 일제강점기 울산지역의 극장에서 이루어진 공연활동의 현황을 살펴보고, 당시 공연문화의 특징과 사회적 역할을 고찰하였다. 일제강점기의 문화공간은 크게 극장공간과 준 극장공간으로 나눌 수 있다. 울산지역의 극장공간에는 대정관, 상반관, 울산극장 등이 있으며, 준 극장공간은 울산청년회관, 울산청년동맹회관, 병영청년회관, 언양청년회관, 언양청년동맹회관, 언양기독교회관, 언양 협성여관, 언양공립보통학교, 학성공립보통학교, 서생학교, 울산공보교대강당, 언양여자야학관 등이다. 이들 공간은 특정 목적의 행사나 공연이 개최되었을 뿐만 아니라 지역담론을 생산하는 공적 공간으로서의 역할을 담당했다. 극장은 영화 상연과 함께 공연이 이루어지는 공간, 예술가와 관객이 만나는 복합적인 문화 공간이었다. 나아가 극장은 단순히 무대 공간의 의미를 넘어 식민지 근대화와 근대의 도시 형성, 새로운 대중문화의 출현 등 다양한 이슈들을 생산, 소비하는 특수한 경험을 제공하였다. 울산의 극장들도 지역극장의 건립 목적에 맞게 외래문화 수용과 여가활동, 문화콘텐츠의 상연과 관람, 지역예술가들의 예술적 기량을 나타낼 수 있는 공간으로서 기능하였다. 그리고 정치 집회나 모임, 강연 활동, 각종 대회 등을 개최함으로써 지역담론 생산과 향유 활동의 거점 공간이었다. 정치 집회는 연주회와 겸하였고, 계몽 활동은 영화 상영과 겸하였으며, 음악 연주는 무용 공연, 자선모임과 결부되기도 했다. 특히 울산최초의 극장이라고 볼 수 있는 '상반관'과 공회당의 역할을 겸한 '울산극장'은 영화 상영과 함께 음악극, 동요대회, 동화구연대회, 소인극 공연, 가극 및 무도회 등의 공연과 함께 대중계몽을 위한 강연회, 토론회, 웅변대회를 개최하였다. 그리고 대규모의 집회장소로 널리 활용되었고, 외부 극단 방문지로서의 역할을 하는 등 공회당으로서의 역할을 담당하였다. 준 극장공간도 마찬가지였다. 이처럼 일제강점기 울산지역의 극장과 준 극장공간은 지역의 문화적 수준을 향상시켜 지역민들의 심미적 욕구 충족과 동시에 여론과 의제를 선도하는 공론장으로서의 사회적 역할을 충실히 수행하였다. 그리고 근대사회의 대안적 공공영역으로 위치하면서도 공공기관으로서의 역할도 수행하였다.

  • I. Introduction Since the 1970's drug abuse among young people has increasingly become a social problem in Korea. In the 1980's, drug abuse, especially glue sniffing, has become the cause of many unfortunated incidents resulting in harm to others as well as the abusers themselves. Taking into consideration of the seriousness of this problem, the Republic of Korea National Red Cross initiated a nation-wide research programme, to understand the present situation and to raise the level of public awareness. The goal of this research was to begin a nation - wide campaign against drug abuse. The research team was composed of the Advisary Committee members and the staff of the Youth Department of the Republic of Korea National Red Cross. The data were collected in February 1988 with the collaboration of the staff and volunteers in the local Chapters. The respondents were allocated nation-wide by the quota sampling method. The questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in three groups :2, 700 to junior and senior high school students, 605 to working youths, and 916 to delinquent youths. A total of 4, 221 questionnaires were collected. II. Characteristics of the Respondents The respondents in each group were selected evenly from rural and urban areas. The general characteristics of the respondents can be described as follow: in case of students, the proportions between male and female respondents, and between senior high school and junior high school students were almost evenly distributed. In case of working youths, the proportion of females (80.5%) was higher than those of the students and the delinquents groups. Delinquent youths were defined as those currently being under custody of the centers for juvenile delinquents. Of this number, 38.8% and 68.2% were junior and senior high school drop-outs respectively. The majority of them (92.6%) were male. As for the family background of the respondents, the proportion of those residing in poverty - stricken areas, and the proportion of those from broken families were higher in case of working youths and delinquent youths than those in case of students. III. Present Patterns of Drug Abuse The following summarizes the presents of drug abuse, as tabulated from the results of the survey. 1. Smoking The percentage of youths who smoke was 36% in the student group, 32% m the working youths group, and 94.4% in the delinquent youths group. 2. Alcohol 50.3% of students, 71.6% of working youths, and 93.3% of delinquent youths has experienced drinking alcohol beverages. 3. Tonic: non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages popular in Korea and Japan The percentage of those who have used tonic at least once was over 90% in all of the three groups. 4. Sedative About 70% of each group has used sedative with the proportion of working youths use higher than those in other groups. 5. Stimulants Those who have used stimulants comprised around 15% in each group. 6. Tranquilizers Somewhat less than 5% of students and working youths, and 28% of delinquent youths, have used tranquilizers. 7. Hypnotics The users of hypnotics amounted to 0.4% of students, 2.6% of working youths and 7.1% of delinquent youths. 8. Marihuana Those who have used marihuana indicated 0.7% of students, 0.8% of working youths, and 13% of delinquent youths. 9. Glue-sniffing The percentage of glue-sniffing was 3.7%, 5% in the students group and in the youths group respectively, but the proportion was unusually high, at 40.7% in the delinquent youths group. From the results of the survey the present situation of drug abuse in Korea can be summarized as follows: 1. A high percentage of Korean youths have experienced smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic beverages. 2. Tonics (non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages), antipyretic analgesics and stimulants quite regularly used. 3. Tranquilizers, hypnotics, marihuana and glue-sniffing are more widely used among delinquent youths than the other youths. From this fact, there exists a correlation between drug abuse and juvenile delinquency. IV. Time-series Analysis of the First Experience of Drug Abuse and Deviant Behaviour The respoundents were asked when they were first exposed to drugs and when they committed deviant acts. By calculating the average age of each experience, the following pattern was found (See Figure 1). Youths are first exposed to drugs by abuse of tonic(non - alcoholic, caffeinated beverages). At the age of 13, they amoke cigarettes, the use of antipyretic analgesics begins at 14 year old, while at the age of 15, they use tranquilizers, and at 16 hynotics. The period of drug abuse which starts from drinking caffeinated beverages and smoking cigarettes and ends in the use of hypnotics takes about three years. During this period, other delinquent behaviours begin to surface, that is, at the age of 13 when smoking cigarettes begins, the delinquent behaviour pattern starts with truancy. Next, they start taking money from others by using physical force. Prior to the age of 15, they are suspended from school, become hostile to adults, begin running away from home, and start using stimulants and alcohol. Soon they become involved even in glue-sniffing and in the use of marihuana. At the age of 15, they begin to see adult videos and carry weapons. Sexual promiscuity and usage of tranquilizers follows the viewing of adult videos. Consequently, by the time they reach the age of 16, they visit drinking establishments, and are picked up by police for committing delinquent acts. And finally, they come to use hypnotic - type drugs. From the above descriptions, drug abuse can be assumed to have a close correlation with delinquent behaviour. V. Social Factors Related to Drug Abuse As for the Korean youths, glue-sniffing is found to he related to aggressive delinquency, in such cases as run - aways, being picked up by the police, and taking money by force. Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is found to be related to seeing adult videos and visiting drinking establishments. Hypnotics and marihuana were found to be representive of drugs which are related to degenerational delinquency, irrespective of social delinquency. The social factors connected with these drug abuse are as follows: 1. Individual factors Male students were more heavily involved in the usage of drug than females. Youths who do not attend church were more likely to be involved in drugs than those who attend. 2. Family factors The youths who were displeased with their mothers smoking and those who thought their parents did not love each other, or those whose parents had used drugs without prescription, were more likely to he drug users. 3. School factors Those youths who found school life boring, were unsuccessful in their studies, spend most of their time with friends, feel their teachers smoke too much, those who had a positive perception of their teachers smoking were likely to he drug users. To sum up, drug abusers depend on the influence of their parents, teachers and peers. IV. Reasons for Drug Abuse Korean students have mainly used drugs to release stress (42.8%), to stay awake (19.7%), and because of the easy accessibility of drugs( 16.6%). Other reasons are due to their ignorance of the side effects of the drugs (3.6%), natural curiosity (4.2%), and to increase strength(3.O%). From the above facts, the major reasons for drug abuse among Korean youths are to release stress and to stay awake in order to prepare exams. Furthermore, since drugs are readily available, we can conclude that drug abuse is caused by the school system(such as entrance exams) in Korea. VII. Conclusion Drug usage among Korean youths are relatively less common than those of western youths. In some cases, such as, glue-sniffing and use of stimulants, the pattern of drug abuse is found. Moreover, early drug abuse is evident, and it has a close connection with deviant behaviour, resulting in juvenile delinquency. Drug abuse cannot be attributed to any one social factor. Specifically, drug abuse depends on parents, peers, teachers and other members of the community, and also is influenced by social institutions such as the entrance exam system. Every person and organization concerned with youth must participate collectively in restraining drug abuse. Finally, it is suggested that social agencial working for youth welfare should make every effort to tackle this serious problem confronted by the Korean youths today.

  • Introduction Recently, changes in the patterns and concepts of maternity care, in both developing and developed countries have been accelerating. An outstanding development in this field is the number of deliveries taking place in hospitals or maternity centers. In Korea, however, more than 90% of deliveries are carried out at home with the help of untrained relatives or even without helpers. It is estimated that less than 10% of deliveries are assisted by professional persons such as a physician or a midwife. Taking into account the shortage of professional person i11 rural Korea, it is difficult to expect widespread prenatal, postnatal, and delivery care by professional persons in the near future, It is unrealistic, therefore, to expect rapid development of MCH care by professional persons in rural Korea due to economic and sociological reasons. Given these conditions. it is reasonable that an educated village women could used as a "maternity aid", serving simple and technically easy roles in the MCH field, if we could give such a women incentive to do so. The midwife and physician are assigned difficult problems in the MCH field which could not be solved by the village worker. However, with the application of the village worker system, we could expect to improve maternal and child hoalth through the replacement of untrained relatives as birth attendants with educated and trained maternity aides. We hope that this system will be a way of improving MCH care, which is only one part of the general health services offered at the local health centre level. Problems of MCH in rural Korea The field of MCH is not only the weakest point in the medical field in our country hut it has also dropped behind other developing countries. Regarding the knowledge about pregnancy and delivery, a large proportion of our respondents reported having only a little knowledge, while 29% reported that they had "sufficient" knowledge. The average number of pregnancies among women residing in rural areas was 4.3 while the rate of women with 5 or more pregnancies among general women and women who terminated childbearing were 43 and 80% respectively. The rate of unwanted pregnancy among general women was 19.7%. The total rate for complications during pregnancy was 15.4%, toxemia being the major complication. The rate of pregnant women with chronic disease was 7%. Regarding the interval of pregnancy, the rates of pregnancy within 12 months and within 36 months after last delivery were 9 and 49% respectively. Induced abortion has been increasing in rural areas, being as high as 30-50% in some locations. The maternal death rate was shown 10 times higher than in developed countries (35/10,000 live births). Prenatal care Most women had no consultation with a physician during the prenatal period. Of those women who did have prenatal care, the majority (63%) received such care only 1 or 2 times throughout the entire period of pregnancy. Also, in 80% of these women the first visit Game after 4 months of gestation. Delivery conditions This field is lagging behind other public health problems in our country. Namely, more than 95% of the women deliveried their baby at home, and delivery attendance by a professional person occurred only 11% of the time. Attendance rate by laymen was 78% while those receiving no care at all was 16%. For instruments used to cut the umbilical corn, sterilized scissors were used by 19%, non-sterilized scissors by 63% and 16% used sickles. Regarding delivery sheets, the rate of use of clean sheets was only 10%, unclean sheets, vinyl and papers 72%, and without sheets, 18%. The main reason for not using a hospital as a place of delivery was that the women felt they did not need it as they had previously experience easy deliveries outside hospitals. Difficult delivery composed about 5% of the total. Child health The main food for infants (95%) was breast milk. Regarding weaning time, the rates within one year, up to one and half, two, three and more than three years were 28,43,60,81 and 91% respectively, and even after the next pregnancy still continued lactation. The vaccination of children is the only service for child health in rural Korea. As shown in the Table, the rates of all kinds of vaccination were very low and insufficient. Infant death rate was 42 per 1,000 live births. Most of the deaths were caused by preventable diseases. Death of infants within the neonatal period was 83% meaning that deaths from communicable diseases decreased remarkably after that time. Infant deaths which occurred without medical care was 52%. Methods of improvement in the MCH field 1. Through the activities of village health workers (VHW) to detect pregnant women by home visiting and. after registration. visiting once a month to observe any abnormalities in pregnant women. If they find warning signs of abnormalities. they refer them to the public health nurse or midwife. Sterilized delivery kits were distributed to the expected mother 2 weeks prior to expected date of delivery by the VHW. If a delivery was expected to be difficult, then the VHW took the mother to a physician or call a physician to help after birth, the VHW visits the mother and baby to confirm health and to recommend the baby be given proper vaccination. 2. Through the midwife or public health nurse (aid nurse) Examination of pregnant women who are referred by the VHW to confirm abnormalities and to treat them. If the midwife or aid nurse could not solve the problems, they refer the pregnant women to the OB-GY specialist. The midwife and PHN will attend in the cases of normal deliveries and they help in the birth. The PHN will conduct vaccination for all infants and children under 5, years old. 3. The Physician will help only in those cases referred to him by the PHN or VHW. However, the physician should examine all pregnant women at least three times during their pregnancy. First, the physician will identify the pregnancy and conduct general physical examination to confirm any chronic disease that might disturb the continuity of the pregnancy. Second, if the pregnant woman shows any abnormalities the physician must examine and treat. Third, at 9 or 10 months of gestation (after sitting of the baby) the physician should examine the position of the fetus and measure the pelvis to recommend institutional delivery of those who are expected to have a difficult delivery. And of course. the medical care of both the mother and the infants are responsible of the physician. Overall, large areas of the field of MCH would be served by the VHW, PHN, or midwife so the physician is needed only as a parttime worker.

  • 본 연구는 대구, 경북지역의 대학생(570명)을 대상으로 식사내용, 식사관습, 식사예절, 일본음식에 대한 인상과 시식경험 및 기호도를 조사한 것으로 그 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 음식은 항상 '일인분씩 담는다'의 경우는 전체응답자의 15.5%에 불과하였고 '음식을 큰 접시에 모아서 담는다'의 경우는 '가끔 한다'가 44.8%, '항상 한다'가 35.8%로 나타나 큰 접시에 모아서 담는 가정이 많았다. '저녁은 가끔 가족이 함께 모여서 먹는다'가 59.9%로 가장 많았고, '항상 가족이 모여 같은 음식을 먹는다'는 끼니는 아침이 42.3%, 저녁이 23.3%, 점심이 3%로 나타나 아침에 가족이 모여 같은 음식을 먹는 경우가 가장 많았다. 2. '식사시 가족의 자리가 정해져 있다'고 한 경우는 전체응답자의 53.5%였고, '가족이 모여 식사할 경우, 연장자가 수저를 들기 전에는 먹지 않는다'는 전체의 56.4%였으며, '가장에게는 음식의 양이나 수가 많다'는 30.9%였다. 3. 식사예절에 대해 가장 자주 주의를 받는 것은 'TV를 보지 않고 먹기'(13.4%), 남기지 않고 먹기(11.5%), '수저사용법'(8.0%)의 순으로 나타났다. 반면 '식기 부딪히는 소리'(76.9%), '입 다물고 먹기'(76.6%), '씹는 소리'(74.6%), '밥 먹는 모양'(71.4%), '수저 사용법'(69.7%)등은 전체응답자의 70% 이상이 '주의를 받지 않는다'고 하였다. 4. 음식 만들기에 대한 선호도는 5점 만점에 3.48점으로 '보통 이상'으로 나타났고 국가별 요리에 대한 기호도는 한국요리(4.39점)가 가장 높았고, 그 다음이 중국요리(3.76점), 이태리요리(3.45점), 일본요리(3.32점) 순이었으며 프랑스요리(3.16점)가 가장 낮은 기호도를 보였다. 음식 만드는 빈도는 한달에 1∼2회 정도로 나타나 대학생들이 직접 음식을 만드는 빈도는 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 5. 일본 방문경험은 조사대상자의 93.8%가 없었으며, 그중 92.6%가 일본방문을 희망하였고 일본음식에 대한 이미지는 '가격이 비싸다'(4.15점), '장식이 아름답다'(4.05점), '색채가 예쁘다'(3.98점) 등은 높은 점수를 보인 반면에 '맵다'(2.21점), '기름기가 많다'(2.51점), '깊은 맛이 있다'(2.56점) 등은 낮은 점수를 보였다. 6. 일본음식 중 가장 높은 시식경험을 가진 것은 우동(95.3%)이었고 그 다음은 스시(93.1%), 덴뿌라(81.9%)순이었고 반면에 니쿠자가(6.4%), 오차즈께(9.3%), 오코노미야끼(11.1%), 다코야끼(16.0%) 등은 매우 낮은 시식경험을 보였다. 7. 일본음식에 대한 기호도는 우동(3.98점), 스시(3.85점), 덴뿌라(3.69점), 소바(3.43점), 스키야끼(3.12점)는 대체로 높은 기호도를 나타낸 반면 낫또(2.68점), 오차즈께(2.76점), 오코노미야끼(2.87점), 미소시루(2.88점), 다코야끼(2.88짙) 등은 낮은 기호도를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과로 변모해 가는 우리전통 식사예절의 동향 파악이 가능하였고 가족간의 화목과 건강한 사회를 이루기 위한 가족 단란의 식사지침이 요구되었다. 한편 일본음식중에는 우동과 스시가 한국대학생들에게 가장 인기가 높은 음식임을 알 수 있었고 대부분의 일본요리에 대해 장식이 예쁘고 색채가 아름답지만 값이 비싸다는 이미지를 가지고 있어서 가격을 좀 더 낮춘다면 그 이용이 더욱 늘어날 것으로 기대되었다. 또한 낫또, 오차즈께, 오코노미야끼 등 이용도가 낮은 음식에 대해서는 한국인의 입맛에 맞는 요리법을 가미한다면 대중화가 가능하리라고 여겨진다.

By area, in the big city, illumination of study was 52.5% over 200Lux and 28.9% below 99Lux. In case of the middle and small city, study user of below 99Lux was 38.8% and over 200Lux was 46.9%. In case of the seat of town township, below 99Lux was 34.1% and over 200Lux was 39.7%. In case of farming and fishing area, illumination of study was 33.4% below 99Lux and 48.4% over 200Lux. It tends to high rate of inappropriate illumination. 5) By position of house, in case of wooden floor, less than 100Lux was 24.5% in central street. It was bad illumination than others position of house. In case of the main livingroom, less than 100Lux was 40.4% in the suburb area. It was bad iliumnation than others position of house. In case of study, less than 100Lux was 35.4% in the middle area, it was worse in illumination. In case of the main living room, is seemed similarity difference in standard of 1%. 6) By form of house, in case of wooden floor, illumination of less than 100Lux was 23.8% in a western-style house, it was bad illumination than others form of house. In case of the main livingroom, illumination of less than 100Lux was 47.4% in a Korean-style house, it was remarkably bad illumination than others form of house. In case of study, a Korean-style house was 38.8%, it was very bad illumination than others form of house. In case of the main livingroom and study, it seemed similatrity difference each as P < 0.01 and P < 0.05 in standard of 1%. 7) The wearing spectacles rate of those who use room of illumination over 400Lux was 40.7%, and that of those who use room of illumination less than 100Lux was 28.1%. It seemed similarity differecce in standard of 1%. 8) In period of wearing spectacles, 21.3% of total investigator-highest-was from before five years, 8.6% was from before three years. Among those who use of illumintion less than 99Lux, 34.0% began to wear spectacles from before two years 31.7% was from before five years, 30.3% was from before four years. It seemed similarity difference from period of wearing spectacles by illumination in standard of 1 %. 9) Among cause which sight grow worse, the first was that it was each 33.2% and 27.4% in response rate because watch TV nearly to wearing spectacles person and non-wearing person. The second was that a lot of seeing books was 25.3% in wearing spectacles person and response rate for dark illumination was 7.4% in nonwearing spectacles person. It seemed similarity difference in standard of 1%. (P < 0.01). 10) In experience which take medicine good for eyes, it was 50.1% in wearing spectacles person and 8.5% in non-wearing spectacles person. It seemed similarity difference in standard of 1%(P < 0.01). As we have seen above, inappropriate illumination can be a cause of wearing spectacles. Nevertheless, actually, is realities to indifferent against illumination of house. So it must learn knowledge about health obstacle of illumination through society instruction and school eduction against students as well as general residents. In case that natural lighting is inappropriate structural of house, we must be able to maintain appropriate illumination through artificial illumination. And so eyes which is core of human life have to be protected, related the authorities, related group, and all health medical personnel will organically cooperate with and make efforts.
