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.

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.

In this study, the symbols and visual expressions employed in the food culture content of official website designed to promote three cities in Korea, Seoul, Jeonju and Jeju, were subjected to semiotic analysis. In this study, it was assumed that these websites reflected the varying perspectives of the people behind the development and management of these routes of Internet communication, and the semiotic choices made in order to exemplify each city’s food cultural image. The aim of the study was to analyze the communication strategies of food cultural branding in the terms of the online content regarding Seoul, Jeonju, and Jeju with a focus on the comparative points in these cities’ official websites. This study included conducting semiotic content analyses of the aforementioned cities’ official web pages in an attempt to determine the food branding strategies used to differentiation and produce more favorable perceptions of these three cities. Building upon the findings drawn from this comparative study, the present work can be used to determine more effective ways of strategically differentiating the images of local food culture associated with these cities from the view of brand communications. This study also demonstrates viable directions for designing web content for a city where the food cultural messages can be delivered in a thoughtful and effective manner.

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.
