비건 화장품 시장이 급성장하는 가운데, 소비자의 환경 및 윤리적 가치 지향이 강화되고 있지 만, 이에 관한 연구는 제한적이다. 본 연구는 비건 화장품의 구매의도에 영향을 주는 소비자의 가치 인식과 환경 동기, 그리고 지각된 장벽 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 300명의 비건화장품 사용 경험이 있는 여성을 대 상으로 PLS-SEM 분석을 진행한 결과, 금전적 가치, 사회적 가치, 브랜드 가치, 감정적 가치, 품질 가치, 그리고 환경 지식이 구매의도에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 조절 효과 분석에서는 이미지 장벽과 가치 장벽이 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 중요도-성능 지도 분석을 통해, 감정적 가치가 비건 화장품의 구 매의도를 강화하는 전략적 결정에 중요한 핵심 요인으로 드러났다. 본 연구는 비건 화장품 시장의 경쟁력 강화와 지속 가능한 소비 태도 활성화에 대한 이론적 및 실무적 기여를 제공한다.

Local non-timber forest products can be easily accessed by tourists. These also provide opportunities for tourists to experience the local culture. Many local governments are paying constant attention to the development of non-timber forest product brands to revitalize the local economy and increase the profits of local farmers. Although there are many forest products and tourism resources in each region of Korea, there is no local specialized strategy to sell non-timber forest products and promote consumers' purchase intentions. In this study, we aimed to explore the consumers’ perceived creating shared value (CSV) and its association with purchasing behavior of non-timber forest products in Jeongeup city, Korea. Data were collected from 1,066 consumers who had purchased non-timber forest products. Purchasing patterns of local specialty products differed depending on consumers’ perceived CSV levels. In addition, consumers with higher levels of perceived CSV showed higher awareness and familiarity with Jeongeup city and experienced Jeongeup city’s non-timber forest products. Our findings suggest that improving consumer perception towards CSV of non-timber forest products can be used as a marketing strategy for local non-timber forest products to revitalize the local economy.

In general, an increase in consumer income increases interest in safe foods and increases consumption of environmental friendly foods. Meanwhile, even in Malawi, interest in safe food and environmentally friendly food has been increasing due to increase in per capita income, but research related to this has not been done yet. The purpose of this study is to estimate the value of environmentally friendly foods in Malawi consumers. For this purpose, we surveyed the consumption patterns and estimated the value of organic chicken for consumers visiting supermarkets. As a value estimation technique, Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was used. Probit model analysis showed that price, expenditure on regular chicken, and knowledge of organic food affect the willingness to pay for organic chicken. CVM analysis shows that Malawi supermarket consumers are willing to pay MK2,514 (3.59) dollars per kilo of organic chicken, which is 25.7% higher than the average price of a regular chicken. Thus, Malawi supermarket consumers can deduce that they have a higher value for environmentally friendly food than regular food. These findings can be used in formulating policies on food safety by government officials, organic chicken meat marketing strategies by supermarket mangers, decision making to enhance organic food production by producers, in order to develop organic food industry.
