This study examines options to revitalize a B2B textile trading platform, exploring user satisfaction and perceptions of the importance of several website features. Between June 8 and June 21, 2023, fashion studies majors and domestic fashion brand product planners were asked to use the website of an open B2B textile platform for 30 minutes and then evaluate its features by responding to a survey. The final sample for analysis wad comprised of 150 questionnaires. To analyze the key textile website features, a paired t-test, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), and multiple regression analysis were utilized. The analysis classified the key textile website features related to user importance and satisfaction into the following categories: convenience, appearance, product information, and uniqueness. An analysis investigation of the differences in importance and satisfaction for each website evaluation attribute found significant differences in 12 attributes. The IPA analysis revealed that attributes such as product reliability, quality, a convenient search function, and convenient page movement are highly important to users and garner high user satisfaction; these findings demonstrate the importance of maintaining these elements. Images on the main screen, the latest trend information, and product prominence attributes also garner high importance ratings, but result in low user satisfaction, which signifies extensive revision is required. Finally, user evaluation of the convenience, appearance, and product information of the website was found to affect user recommendation intention.

This study analyzed 214 sports knee braces found on Chinese websites between October 2022 and November 2022 to assess product type (impact protection material, fastening method, and protection method), material composition, size, weight, and main characteristics. The product type was further categorized according to (1) use of hard guard and soft guard protection method; (2) cover type, strap type, and slip-on type fastening method; and (3) pressure type and support type protection method. It also noted the physical shock protection materials used, including foam (EVA or polyurethane) attached to joints as a buffer material and plastic (TPU or PP) that protects the user’s knee from external impacts. The study found that the materials that primarily comprise sports knee braces are a combination of nylon, polyester, and neoprene. Additionally, it found that most sports knee braces available on the market are available in three sizes based on knee circumference: M (35–38cm), L (38–41cm), and XL (41–44cm), while some products are available in one size only. Furthermore, the majority of the 214 products studied weighed 200g, followed by 1,000g. Finally, in terms of product characteristics, many sports knee braces utilize ring-shaped silicone pads to distribute the load pressure on the knees or incorporate sturdy adhesive velcro to improve knee stability.

This study analyzed the translation strategies of Korean culture-specific items displayed on the Korea.net Arabic website, the government’s representative overseas PR media. 25 articles with a large number of culture-specific items were selected and analyzed among 74 articles published in the Culture section of the Korea.net Arabic website for a total of 7 months from August 2020 to February 2021. The themes of the selected 25 cultural articles were the contents of related cultural events according to the period, such as Chuseok and New Year’s Day, Kimchi-making Season, Lotus Lantern Festival, and Hangeul Day. Culture-specific items were classified into proper nouns such as country, administrative districts, place name, and building name, and other cultural elements such as food, clothing, holidays, according to the classification method of Lee Geun-hee(2008). As expected, a number of strategies to convey meaning along with transliteration appeared as part of an effort to inform Arab readers of Korean culture-specific items. However, it found the need to establish norms or unified standards for culture-specific items translation strategies, especially in transliteration.

This paper is an exploratory study to investigate the influence of characteristics of local government web-sites on user satisfaction and trust. The objective of this research is to identify the characteristics of local government web-sites influencing on user satisfaction and trust, and determine how they affect user satisfaction and trust. From the literature review, we identify four characteristics which are expected to influence on user satisfaction: technical, information, customer-oriented, and work-performing characteristics.

The technical, customer-oriented, and work-performing characteristics significantly affects perceived values, which significantly affected user satisfaction and trust. Perceived value is partially mediated by user satisfaction in affecting user trust. The characteristics of local government web-sites affecting perceived values differed partially by the purpose of visitor. As for the personal goal, the technical, customer-oriented, and work-performing characteristics significantly affect perceived values, with the technical and customer-oriented characteristics having more significant effects. As for the business goal, the technical, information, work-performing characteristics significantly affected perceived values, with information characteristics having more significant effects.

문화관광축제는 축제를 통해 지역의 정체성이 조성되거나 지역의 자율성이 확보되기도 하고, 전통 문화가 보존ㆍ계승되거나 축제에 의해 발생한 비용과 관광객의 소비지출 등을 통해 지역경제 활성화에 크게 기여하고 있어 지역경제 활성화 정책의 하나로 이러한 축제를 도입하고 있는 지자체도 많이 생겨나고 있다. 이와 같이 문화관광축제는 지역의 전통 문화의 보존ㆍ계승 및 경제 활성화 측면에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다고 볼 수 있는데 이는 경제·사회·문화 등 모든 면에서 지역을 활성화시킬 수 있는 커다란 이벤트의 하나라고 할 수 있다. 각 지역에서 개최하고 있는 축제들은 적극적인 홍보와 마케팅 전략으로 외지 또는 외국인 관광객을 유치하기 위하여 힘쓰고 있다. 특히 인터넷의 발달과 더불어 웹사이트를 통한 홍보는 국경을 초월하여 축제의 정보제공 및 이미지 창출에 크게 기여하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 최근에는 영어, 일본어, 중국어 등의 외국어 사이트를 설치하여 외국인 관광객에게 자세한 정보를 제공하여 참여를 적극적으로 유도하고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 2014년도에 문화관광축제로 지정된 40개의 축제 중에서 대표축제(2개), 최우수 축제(8개), 우수축제(10개)의 웹사이트에서 외국어 지원 상황을 파악하고, 그 중에서도 일본어의 운영 상황 및 내용에 대한 분석을 통해 문제점을 지적하고 개선 방안을 도출하고자 한다.

본 연구는 국공립 직업무용단체 11단체의 웹사이트를 마케팅믹스 관점에서 운영되어지고 있는 현황을 분석하여 웹사이트를 통한 관객개발 전략이 나아갈 방향성을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구 방법은 마케팅 믹스 개념에 대한 문헌조사를 실시하였으며, 연구대상은 일정한 급여를 정기적으로 부여하는 직업무용단 중 웹사이트를 운영하고 있는 국공립 단체를 선정하였다. 분석방법은 일반경영학에서 제시하는 마케팅 믹스(Production, Price, Promotion, Place) 4가지 요소를 응용하여 예술경영의 차원에서 마케팅믹스 요소들을 도출하여 각각의 영역이 웹사이트 구성내용에 어떻게 분포되었는지를 분석하였다. 분석된 자료는 선행연구 정미란(2007)의 “국내직업무용단의 웹사이트 콘텐츠 비교분석”과 신동윤 이성민(2004) “한국프로축구단 마케팅 믹스 요소 및 일반적 항목 웹사이트 내용분석”에서 제시한 분류방법을 수용하여 처리하였으며, 마케팅 믹스 4가지 요소가 나타난 빈도수와 내용을 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 도출하여 다음과 같은 전략을 제시하였다. 첫째, 국공립단체의 독립 웹사이트 운영을 통해 공연에 관심을 갖는 잠재관객의 관심도를 높일 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 인터넷을 활용하여 무용단체의 웹사이트 방문을 유도하기 위해서 다양한 검색단어에 관련단어를 넣으면 최대한 많이 공연단 웹사이트에 링크 되도록 하여 사람들에게 친밀감을 주어 관심을 갖도록 유도할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 웹사이트 상에서 회원들이 참여할 수 있는 공간의 확대를 통해 보다 많은 홍보를 유도할 수 있는 것이다. 넷째, 웹사이트에서 이벤트와 공연의 연계성을 확대하여 공연장에 관객이 직접 참여할 수 있도록 유도하면서 티켓 구매 효과를 증대할 필요가 있다. 다섯째, 무용단체의 웹사이트 운영에 있어서 관객과 단체 간의 실시간 커뮤니티장의 마련을 통해서 단체와 관객의 직접적인 만남을 유도할 필요가 있다.

This study was undertaken to develop web-based nutrition information contents for the older adults. Twenty six domestic web-sites were analyzed and then 12 foreign web-sites and 4 education materials for the elderly of foreign university were benchmarked. Also a lot of literatures on elderly education program were reviewed. A card-sorting task was performed with 8 older adults to ascertain how the target audience organized information about nutrition. The results were as fellows. Among 26 domestic web-sites, 2 sites(7.7%) were only for the elderly. Main topics of information contents for the elderly included 'Importance of Healthy Eating', 'DRI', 'Dietary Guidelines'. Four of twelve foreign web-sites were for the elderly nutrition education.

Education materials of foreign university dealt with basic information on 'nutrient needs changes related with aging', 'Heart & Bone Healthy Eating Plan', 'Food Guide Pyramid'. Also topics on 'Eating on a budget', 'Eating Out Guideline' were included for practical use for the elderly. Based on card-sorting process, contents framework for web-site was developed and 4 main menus for framework were respectively named as 'Nutrition', 'Meals', 'Foods'. 'Check up Nutritional Health' by panel discussion. Finally we developed nutrition information contents for 4 main menus. We focused on helping older adults recognize the importance of healthy eating and apply the nutrition information to practical use. We expect that the developed framework of contents can be a guideline for indentifying the information needs of older adults in developing effective nutrition intervention program. And we suggest that the survey for target people should be peformed for the web-site to be user-friendly designed and the developed contents be evaluated and revised in the near future.
