Healthy and environmentally friendly food is a subject of increasing prominence all around the world, and especially so in developing countries such as India, where consumption of agricultural goods produced in a sustainable environment with a low reliance on pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, and genetic manipulation is a real challenge. Consumer interest in green food items is increasing as safety and health concerns grow, and researchers are calling for further investigation of green food consumer behavior. Although a large number of research was done on environmental performance in industrialized countries, very little research has been conducted among Indian consumers. Furthermore, the gap between intention to consume green food products and actual behavior remains under-investigated. This gap can be investigated through the prism of theory of planned behavior (TPB). This theory has been widely used in green consumer studies: it seeks to explain how individuals make decisions and take actions based on their attitudes, beliefs, and perceived behavioral control. However, the TPB has not been extended to account for cultural values (i.e., Hofstede’s cultural framework), which can play an important role in shaping consumer attitudes and behaviors. Therefore, this research investigates the application of the extended TPB model in the context of green food products with a quantitative survey among Indian consumers (N=387). The results show that long-term (health) orientation and collectivism influence both green purchase intention and behavior. This effect is explained by subjective norms, perceived value, and environmental attitudes of the consumers.

Global fashion houses have recently incorporated traditional Korean motifs within their inspiration. This trend is an opportunity to showcase the colors of traditional Korean culture by investing in the new design content. Products specifically based on traditional Korean culture are lacking in brand awareness despite the success of Korean content. Accordingly, this study designs cultural products based on Korean folk painting that captures Korean people’s satirical sense of humor. Korean folk painting theories are analyzed, from which different types of folk paintings are classified based on research of bibliographies and online documents. Following classification, the results are dataized as different types of folk paintings and their meanings. Furthermore, images of folk paintings are categorized and scanned digitally. The digitized images of the folk paintings are processed through Adobe Photoshop CS for overall layout and Adobe Illustrator CS for detailed designs. Traditional categories of Korean folk paintings are used, including flowers and birds, letters, and study stationery. Using the main elements of the flower and birds category, designs with cultural products such as images of flowers, birds, animals, and fish are produced. The final designs are used to create fashion items that can easily be used for embellishment or self-presentation: a scarf and a necktie. The scarf and the necktie are not only merchandise; they also symbolize the story, humor, and hope that Korean folk paintings once symbolized.

본 연구는 국가와 도시의 브랜드 이미지를 활용한 문화상품 개발을 목적으 로 하고 있다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 먼저 국가와 도시 브랜드 이미지의 개념과 사례, 그리고 문화상품 대한 이론적 논의에 대해 살펴보았고, 이러한 이론적 논의를 바탕으로 실질적인 문화상품 제작과정을 한국과 부산의 도시브 랜드 이미지의 디자인 연구와 한국과 부산 도시브랜드 이미지를 활용한 문화 상품 개발로 구분하여 진행하였다. 브랜드를 다른 상품과의 차별화를 위한 가 치부여라고 정의한다면, 국가와 도시브랜드 역시 차별화에 초점을 두고 있다 고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 국가 브랜드와 도시 브랜드는 특정 국가와 도시가 가지 는 다양한 환경, 기능, 시설, 서비스 등에 의해 다른 국가와 도시로부터 구별되는 상태라고 정의할 수 있다. 그리고 문화상품은 상품화의 가능성이 상대적으 로 낮았던 문화를 원천으로 하여 만들어진 상품으로 일반상품에 비해 상대적 고부가치성을 가진 상품이다. 국가와 도시브랜드 이미지를 입힌 디자인을 기 초로 하는 고부가치성의 문화상품은 국가와 도시를 새롭게 각인시키는 데 긍 정적인 기제로 사용이 가능한 상품이다. 이상과 같은 이론적 논의를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 한국의 상징과 과거와 현재를 담고 있는 부산의 브랜드 이미지 를 스토리텔링 방법을 적용하여 패턴화 하여 총 200여종의 문화상품을 제작하 였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 한국과 부산의 브랜드 이미지를 활용한 문화상품들 은 기존 한국과 부산의 브랜드 이미지를 강화하는 데 일조할 수 있을 것이며, 관광객들에게 ‘매력적인 방문지로서 한국과 부산’이라는 이미지를 각인시키는 데 긍정적인 효과를 가져다 줄 수 있을 것이라 자평할 수 있다.

As a plan for establishing Korea's cultural identity and its competitive edge in the world market and for enhancing Korea’s cultural status, creative and unique high value-added cultural products need to be developed utilizing our inherent cultural assets. Accordingly, this study focused on the development of the design of fashion cultural products that utilize the convergence of Hangeul our peculiar font style and Korea's cultural heritage, which is registered as part of UNESCO’s World Heritage. A design method was devised that converges archetypal images of cultural property with the unique Hangeul font in a way that targets Korea's symbolic architectures. The symbolic architecture includes Korea’s world-heritage pagoda architecture, such as Seokgatap pagoda and Dabotap pagoda at Bulguksa temple. It also included the architecture of royal palace, such as Injeongjeon hall at Changdeokgung palace. Finally, it also included the architecture of the fortress wall, such as Paldalmun gate in Hwaseong fortress. Thus, by developing cultural assets made from a convergence between architecture and the Hangeul font as a consumer-product image that has universality, the possibility of cultural products was pursued by applying color planning after an analysis that involved extracting the compositional colors of the flags of the world. This research and approach will lead to opportunities for further progress for Korea's cultural products in the global market as a results of additional recognition for their value, excellence, and universal appeal.

The concept of „Sustainability‟ has become as major concern and it used by consumers and corporations to convey the concept of taking care of the environment. Environmental concern has led to sustainable consumption in a variety of product categories, such as electricity, textiles, apparel, food, and grocery products (Chan, 2001; Harrison, Newholm, & Shaw, 2005; Vermeir & Verbeke, 2006a, 2006b). Interest of the negative environmental impacts are rapidly increasing in present fashion business and consumer behavior has become a rising concern of the consumption and fashion supply chain to apply sustainable consumption (Birtwistle & Moore, 2007; Fineman, 2001). The environmental and social concern recognized in fashion industry from 1990‟s. However, the complexity of conceptual definition of sustainability and ecologically responsible consumer generates different and mistaken perception to consumer. In addition, in fashion industry, the terms of „eco-fashion‟, „environmentally friendly fashion‟,„green fashion‟, „ethical fashion‟, and „sustainable fashion‟ are frequently used interchangeably to describe the same concept. These interchangeable terminology is leading to confusion of the readers by the non-unified terminology (Choi et al., 2012). Also, consumers seem to have narrow scope and little understanding of sustainable fashion. In general, consumers focuses on environmental aspect not the wide-range of complexity of environment, social, and economical concern (Cervellon, Hjerth, Ricard, & Carey, 2010). The growing number of fashion brands are leveraging on green branding initiatives. Green marketing is increasing rapidly in corporate aspects and for a consumer perspective, global consumers are recognizing a personal accountability to take responsibility for social and environmental issues. Despite the fact many of individuals‟ willingness to purchase green products has increased in the last few years, however, there is limited studies suggest that purchase of green or sustainable products. Consumer research on sustainable fashion has mainly focused on consumer behaviors towards sustainable fashion products (SFPs); however, relevant studies that examined the whole process of the predicting proenvironmental behavior cross nationally value and the eWOM are still scarce. The purposes of research model are 1) to identify the determinants of eWOM intention on consumers' purchase intentions, 2) to examine the information adoption process as precursors of purchase intention of sustainable fashion, and 3) to testify different message types effects to information adoption process.

The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of guilt-decreasing appeals in reducing anticipated guilt toward a luxury vacation and not comprising happiness across two cultures with different values. The results have practical implications for designing global advertising strategies and execution using this emotional appeal.

The object of this study is to develop textile designs and fashion products based on the cultural resource of Jeju Bangsatop, which means a stone tower preventing misfortune and driving out evil spirits. The field surveys of 32 Bangsatops located at 17 villages in Jeju were conducted. As a result, unlike stone towers located in other regions, Jeju Bangsatops made with basalt. In addition, wood and stone birds, Dolhareungbang, and other sculptures are built on the tops. Jeju Bangsatops were classified into four types based on the body form of the tops: Conical, truncated conical, trapezoid, and irregular shaped Bangsatops. Jeju Bangsatops located in a area or a village are symmetrically arranged in direction of south and north, left and right, east and west, or face to face. The conical, truncated conical, and irregular shaped Jeju Bangsatops which are designated as folk cultural properties or which have the unique sculptures of stone birds and the statues of Dolhareungbang built on the tops were selected as motifs for textile pattern design. The 4 basic patterns of Jeju Bangstops were designed. The six creative textile designs were developed by the various repeat arrangements of the basic patterns and were printed on oxford cotton fabrics by digital textile printing (DTP) method. The sixteen products of wallets, bags, hats and shoes were actually made with the DTP fabrics, the DTP fabrics which were naturally dyed in gray and blue colors, or the DTP fabrics which were redesigned with textile crayon. Therefore, it is confirmed that Jeju Bangsatop could be very useful as a motif for the development of cultural products focusing on Jeju tourism souvenir market.

This study is to develop cultural products based on 'Jeju Choga', which means the traditional houses in Jeju. For the product development, old literature review, field surveys, and consumer surveys were employed. Through old literatures and field surveys, the unique and visual characteristics of Jeju Choga were confirmed: A thatched roof with lattice pattern, a side wall and fences with porous stones, a 'Jungnang' serving as a gate, and a 'Pungchai' preventing strong sola radiation and 'Ollai' meaning a narrow street in front of the Choga. As a results of consumer survey conducted before the development of products, consumers highly recognized and associated Jeju Choga as Jeju representative image. The six basic patterns of Jeju Choga were drawn and eight textile designs were created through the repeated arrangements of the basic patterns. Using the created textile designs and digital printing method, the eleven new fabrics with the patterns of Jeju Choga were developed. The various kinds of ten bags and tow wallets made with the new fabrics. As a result of consumer evaluation for the twelve products made in this study, the scores of preference and purchase intention were above the average work for the most products of them. In particular, the preference and purchase intention of the square shoulder bag, the big-size shopper bag, and the small-size cross bag were very positively evaluated. Therefore, it is confirmed that Jeju Choga could be very useful as a motif for the development of cultural products focusing on Jeju tourism souvenir market.

Traditional culture could be a wonderful source of inspiration for creative design. Tteoksal, the stamps used for making decorative patterns on traditional rice-cakes, have been used and passed on to generations to show the emotions of our ancestors. Numerous traditional patterns found in Tteoksal can be used to better understand and transmit tradition in modern ways. The purpose of this study was to develop fashion cultural products with a modern sensibility by understanding the origin, types and characteristics of Tteoksal and its patterns. The method of this study was through considering the proceeding studies and the references published by a specialist and museums having some information about further knowledge on Tteoksal. In line with the aforementioned study, neckties, eco-friendly bags and pouches were developed as fashion goods. Among the Tteoksal's patterns selected were lotus, bats, 樂letters and complex patterns. Using a computer graphic software program such as Adobe Illustrator CS5, archetypes of patterns were traced as vector graphics, and two design motives were developed in every pattern. The patterns were developed into two types: one was a basic pattern faithful to a basic motive pattern, and the other was a varied type that was changed and applied. The fashion products were developed as two styles for basic and varied patterns for neckties, eco-friendly bags and pouch items. Twelve products were made for each pattern, which totals 48 unique products. In conclusion, the study could be a critical step to better understand the traditional culture and its influence to the patterns applied to modern fashion design.

This study attempted to understand the value of traditional floral wall patterns reflecting the distinct aesthetic consciousness of Korean people and reinterpret the images of floral wall patterns in simplified forms. In addition, the study created new floral patterns to apply them to the design of neckties and scarves. In a methodological aspect, the computer design software programs Adobe Illustrator CS2 and Adobe Photoshop CS2 were used to make the traditional floral wall patterns motifs. Four basic motifs for a new formative image were set using graphical functions such as omitting, simplifying, overlapping, repeating, and/or reducing shapes based on floral wall patterns, and each motif was developed in two variations with different colors applied to them. Each of the set motifs was expressed in a repeated arrangement and in a modified pattern of 45 degrees. Necktie design with a floral wall pattern made use of the motifs developed through a variety of effects such as simplification, repetition, size variation, and gradation and the pattern modified at a 45°for application. Scarf design employed and applied the existing motifs in an appropriate manner for design purposes and reconstructed and expressed them through such effects as repetition, rotation, compositional variation and gradation.

The development of the Internet and digital technology has given rise to a new form of cultural industry - digital literacy, and the trend of all-media convergence has also promoted the production and marketing of IP, and the space for the development of digital literacy under the IP strategy and the market demand are constantly expanding. Due to the problems of insufficient exploitation and utilisation, low technology level, content homogenisation and serious piracy of China's IPs, the feasible paths of building a digital cultural and creative industry chain, all-media marketing, establishing a digital copyright protection system, guiding the orderly competition of IPs, and carrying out international cooperation have been put forward with the combination of theories and practices, to improve the efficiency of IP production, content quality and digitalisation, stimulate the innovation of content and science and technology, protect digital copyrights, and provide a better service for China's high-quality digital copyright production and marketing. Protection of digital copyright, and provide a reference for the creation of high-quality digital cultural and creative IP in China.

With the change of industrial structure and the advancement of industrialization process in developing countries, product trade has become an important industrial trade between developing countries and developed countries. The level of trade has also become an important indicator to measure a country’s economic development and industrialization level. The development of international trade in the new era has also entered a new stage. Trade is an important part of a country’s economic development, especially the trade of cultural products under the background of modern society. With the official signing of the China-South Korea Free Trade Agreement on June 1, 2015, China and South Korea officially completed the system design of the construction of the China-South Korea free trade area and will soon enter the implementation stage. In order to better realize the great goal of “China and South Korea linkage the world, opening up and creating prosperity”, it was very necessary to explore the development trend of cultural product trade. The following part of this paper mainly focuses on the development of cultural product trade between China and South Korea in the new era.

1990년대 이르러 세계화와 맞물려 지역발전정책은 자원 분배적 차원의 한계를 벗어나서 지역특성화를 통한 지역경쟁력 강화와 자립형 지방화에 집중하였다. 이 시기부터 지역발전에 대한 시각이 ‘개발과 성장 지향’에서 ‘문화와 환경 지향’으로 전환되고, 삶의 가치관도 물질주의적 가치에서 탈 물질주의적 가치로 이동하였다. 또한 지역민의 ‘삶의 질’, 지역 환경의 ‘쾌적성’, 지역다움 등에 가치가 중요하게 되었다. 지역발전과 관광이 연계되어 추진된 시기는 2010년 들어서라고 할 수 있다. 문화체육관광부의 관광정책이 지역을 기반으로 하는 다양한 사업들로 본격 가동되고 지역을 기반으로 하는 주민참여형 관광사업이 시작되면서 관광이 실질적으로 지역발전에 기여하고 있다고 할 수 있다.1) 그리고 광주광역시를 방문한 관광객 및 여행을 경험한 관광객을 대상으로 관광객이 선호하는 문화관광상품의 아이템과 광주광역시 이미지를 조사하고 분석을 하여서 그에 맞는 적합한 광주관광대표상품을 스토리텔링 하여 제작함으로서 많은 경험을 줄 수 있는 광주관광대표상품 전략을 세웠다. 이에 광주광역시는 관광문화산업과 연계할 수 있는 관광대표상품은 지역문화발전을 위한 특색 있는 공예산업의 생산 잠재력을 확충시킬 수 있으며, 지역의 유무형 문화자원의 가치부각과 함께 수공예산업의 발전 도모, 그리고 광주의 문화 역사에 따른 향유와 혁신을 기대하고 설득력 있는 소비문화를 제고할 것이다.

세계화, 국제화, 글로벌화라는 단어가 하나의 트렌드로 자리 잡고, 각국의 국가 경제가 세계경제로 통합되면서 문화적 정체성을 가진 상품을 개발하는 것은 세계시장에서 국가 경쟁력을 만드는 중요한 사항이 되었다. 경제의 시대를 넘어 문화의 시대로 표현되는 21세기에서 문화는 국가의 국제 경쟁력을 갖추게 하는 하나의 중요한 매개체가 되기 때문에 한국문화가 세계시장에서 주목을 받으며 활동 반경을 넓혀가고 있는 현 시점에서 한국문화를 상품화하는 연구는 필요한 과제가 되었 다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국의 전통문양을 이용하여 문화상품으로 가방디자인을 개발하고 제작하였다. 이를 위해, 첫째, 문화상품과 전통문양에 대한 정확한 개념과 특징, 한국의 전통문양이 가지고 있는 특징과 본 연구에서 사용되는 전통문양 의 의미를 살펴보고, 둘째, 전통문양을 이용한 새로운 패턴을 개발하고, 이를 실크 스크린 프린팅을 이용하여 한국 전통의 복 소재인 주단에 리프린팅함으로써 새로운 패브릭으로 변형시켰다. 셋째, 리디자인한 패브릭을 이용하여 트렌드에 맞고, 실용성이 가미된 문화상품으로 가방 디자인을 개발하고 제작하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구자는 한국의 전통문양과 소재를 현 대적으로 재해석하고 현대인의 라이프스타일을 고려한 가방디자인을 개발함으로써 고부가가치를 창출할 수 있는 문화상품으로서의 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

Many traditional designs and products can be seen to be out of step with modern society. While being marginalized from the contemporary market for this reason, they are highly regarded in terms of their historical and traditional values embedded in ways of life in the particular community over time and transmitted from generation to generation. This paper aims to explore cultural significance embodied in such designs and products and clarify its meaning and interpretation for people today who make and/or use them. This will help craft makers and designers better understand what to bear in mind while trying to revitalize them without losing its essential meaning and value. Employing an in-depth case study method, 11-day field research was undertaken to explore traditional designs and products in New Mexico, USA as a successful example of well-sustained and thriving art and craft culture acknowledged both locally and internationally. Based on key informant interviews and site visits, research findings are discussed mainly around three areas: traditional crafts, artisans and place. Based on the analysis of research findings, key success factors of traditional designs and products in Santa Fe are discussed, from which implications for important elements that consist of cultural significance attached to the products can be drawn.

지방자치제도는 지역 간 경쟁구도를 견인하였고, 각 지역은 강력한 지역아이덴티티 구축 및 강화를 위한 차별화 전략을 필 요로 하게 되었다. 지역의 차별화란 지역고유의 역사, 자연, 산업, 생활, 문화, 가치 등의 요소를 통해 형성되는 특성화 이미 지 구축전략으로 이해할 수 있다. 이러한 맥락으로 지역의 특성화 이미지를 활용한 문화관광상품은 지역을 이해하는 연상 이미지 형성의 역할을 담당할 뿐 아니라, 관광활동 중 체득된 체험요소들을 기억하게 도와주는 회상자원이 될 수 있다는 점에 주목하였다. 이에 따라 지역 고유성을 대표하는 관광자원의 특성화 이미지 발굴 및 이를 활용한 문화관광상품 개발을 위한 연구를 진행하여, 독창적이고 지속가능한 지역아이덴티티 강화 전략의 하나로 제시하고자 한다. 연구의 공간적 범위로는 지역문화의 정체성을 핵심평가지표로 제시하고 있는 국제슬로시티의 기준을 통과하고 재지정에 성공한 전주한옥마을을 선정하였다. 선행연구 및 현장조사를 통하여 관광목적지에서 유통되는 대부분의 상품들이 그 독창 성과 차별성을 나타내지 못하는 현실을 반영하였으며, 특히 전주한옥마을의 지역아이덴티티 강화는 물론 오랜 시간 축척되 어온 도시브랜드 전략의 일관성을 담아내고자 노력하였다. 전주한옥마을의 문화적 정체성과 연결되는 대표자원을 선정하 고, 특성화 이미지 요소 발굴을 통한 디자인 전략을 도출하였으며, 이를 활용하여 실제 판매유통이 가능하도록 다양한 문화 관광상품 예시를 제안하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의와 차별성을 확인할 수 있다.
