This study was conducted to investigate whether there were differences in eco-friendly food, home meal replacement (HMR) purchases, and eating-out behavior according to the level of agri-food consumer competence. The data for the study were extracted from main food consumers (n=3,321) in the 2022 Food Consumption Behavior Survey. The competence index was divided into awareness-attitude-practice items, and three groups were classified by competence level. The results showed an agri-food consumer competency score of 70.62, with the highest score for awareness (73.96), followed by practice (69.28) and attitude (66.18). The frequency of purchasing eco-friendly food was higher in the excellent group compared to other groups, and quality and price satisfaction was higher with higher competency (p<0.001). Regarding HMR, the results showed that the shortage group had the lowest HMR consumption rate, and satisfaction decreased as competence decreased (p<0.001). The main reason for eating-out was to enjoy food in all groups (59.0%), followed by a lack of cooking time in the excellent group (15.7%) and hassle with food preparation in the moderate and shortage groups (17.3%, 16.6%) (p<0.001). In short, agri-food consumption competency showed differences by contents and components, and differences in food purchases and eating-out behavior by competency level were found.

Ecological occupation in irrigation ponds is a well-acknowledged fact that is essential for biodiversity conservation in agricultural ecosystems. However, there are few studies on the ecological functions and relationship between a paddy field and irrigation using macroinvertebrates in an environmentally friendly paddy field. The objective of this study is to identify the community and distribution characteristics of macroinvertebrates in an agricultural paddy field and irrigation pond ecosystems, and to provide basic data on the ecological function of an environmentally friendly paddy field. Macroinvertebrate sampling was conducted from May to September in an agricultural paddy field and irrigation pond in an environment-friendly paddy field in Boryeong city. We conducted a study to identify the distribution characteristics using macroinvertebrate species analysis, such as Functional Feeding Groups (FFGs), Habitat Oriented Groups (HOGs), rarefaction curve, and a two-way dendrogram. A total of 37 species of macroinvertebrates in 28 families, 13 orders were collected study during the period of the investigation. Dominant taxa of macroinvertebrates included Coleoptera, Hemiptera, and Odonata. In terms of FFGs, predators and gathering collectors accounted for approximately 70%, in relation to HOGs, and climbers and swimmers occupied more than 50% from both the paddy field and irrigation pond. With respect to the rarefaction curve, the irrigation pond (July) was high as E (S, 141)=18 species, while the paddy field (May) was comparatively low as E (S, 141)=9 species. In conclusion, our results revealed that macroinvertebrates, such as Notonecta triguttata, Peltodytes intermedius, Appasus major, Laccotrephes japonensis, Appasus japonicus, Sigara substriata, Enochrus simulans, and Sternolophus rufipes, were used as a habitat and spawning ground in both paddy field and irrigation pond. The irrigation pond appears to be a very important spawning ground for macroinvertebrates.

단감 과수원에서 문제가 되고 있는 노린재의 방제 목적으로 사용되는 페로몬트랩의 유인거리를 확인하고, 페로몬트랩의 효율을 증가시킬 수 있는 끈끈이트랩의 사용효과에 대하여 알아보고자 수행되었다. 노린재에 마커로 표시한 후 방사하여 페로몬트랩과 끈끈이트랩에 재포획된 개체수를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 페로몬트랩에 톱다리개미허리노린재가 60 m까지 유인되는 것을 확인하였으며, 끈끈이트랩의 포획률은 0주차 35%, 1주에서 27%, 2주에서 34%, 3주에서 2.9%, 4주에서 0.6%로, 3주 이후부터 급격히 낮아지는 것을 확인하였다. 페로몬트랩과 끈끈이트랩을 동시에 사용한 경우가 페로몬트랩만 단일로 사용한 경우보다 약 12배 높은 포획률을 보였다.

최근 딥러닝 기술 가운데 이미지데이타 분석에 뛰어난 성능을 보이는 합성곱신경망 기술의 발전은 이미지 분석 영역에서 다양한 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 관광객이 게시한 사진을 딥러닝 기술을 이용하여 분류하기 위해서는 관광사진에 대한 분류와 목적에 맞는 딥러닝 모델의 훈련작업이 필수적으로 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 관광객이 플리커에 게시한 사진을 효율적으로 분류하기 위해 관광목적으로 사진이 어떻게 분류되어야 하는지 관광목적 사진분류 체계를 개발하고자 하였다. 관광목적 사진 분류 카테고리 개발을 위해 문헌분석, 웹사이트 분석, 관광객이 게시한 약 38,000장 사진의 검토과정을 거쳐 사진 분류 카테고리를 개발하였으며, 약 8400장의 사진을 개발된 카테고리에 맞춰 분류해 봄으로써 개발된 카테고리의 검증과정을 거쳤다. 이 과정을 거쳐 최종으로 제안된 카테고리는 13개 대분류, 64개 중분류, 164개의 세분류 체계를 갖으며, 본 연구 결과는 향후 관광목적 사진을 딥러닝 모델을 이용하여 분류하고자 할 때 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구의 목적은 온탕침지와 pH교정석회유황합제 처리에 의한 상추 유기종자의 곰팡이와 세균의 소독효과 및 발아율에 미치는 영향을 검정하고자 하였다. 상추종자에 Alternaria sp.가 53.3% 감염되어 있었고 Aspergillus sp.와 Cladosporium sp.은 각각 14.5%와 5.4% 감염되어 있었다. 세균은 형태적으로 Pseudomonas sp., 한 종만 분리되었으며 16.5%가 감염되어 있었다. 상추종자 소독에 효과적인 온탕침지조건을 탐색하고자 온탕의 온도조건(45℃, 50℃, 55℃, 60℃)에 따른 소독효과를 조사하였다. 온탕침지 온도와 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 곰팡이와 세균에 대한 살균효과는 증가하였으나 종자의 발아율은 급격히 감소하였다. 온탕침지 단독처리는 50℃ 온탕에서 20분간 처리할 경우 상추종자의 살균효과와 발아율이 각각 91.1%로 가장 우수하였다. 상추종자 소독을 위한 온탕침지와 pH교정석회유황합제 교호처리는 50℃의 온탕침지 조건에서는 10분간 처리하는 것이 상추종자의 살균효과와 발아율이 각각 100%와 97.6%로 가장 높았다. 본 연구결과는 종자 표면뿐만 아니라 종자내의 곰팡이나 세균을 살균할 수 있는 기술개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

This research was conducted to examine coffee shop customers’ preference and satisfaction by different types of promotion. Research samples ware adults with experience of any form of coffee shop promotion (n=209). Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the relations among variables. Results showed that 'free coupon' was the most preferred ones. SNS was the most frequently used search method for coffee shop coupon promotion information. The most preferred event promotion was 'freebies', and preference levels were significantly different by age and employment status. 'Barista experience' was ranked highest in preference among cultural experience events. Drinking coffee was the most important purpose of visiting coffee shops, especially among unemployed, twenties, and women respondents. Coupon was evaluated the highest in usefulness and satisfaction among the three promotion methods. Event and cultural experience were preferred more by respondents in their twenties than those in their thirties. Results indicated that all promotion strategies are effective for increasing customer satisfaction and for inducing revisit. Findings also showed that preference for promotion was affected by customer characteristics such as age and gender. Therefore, coffee shops should consider using the most effective and attractive promotion strategy for their target market, while maintaining a consistent service quality level to fulfill customer expectation.
