This study aims to analyze the variations in online clothing purchasing patterns based on demographic attributes and purchasing behavior. The survey subjects comprised individuals in their 10s to 50s who had prior experience with online shopping. The survey was conducted in Gyungnam from May to June 2022. A total of 397 questionnaires were analyzed using the χ2-test statistical method. The analysis of clothing purchase type based on demographic characteristics revealed differences in terms of gender, marital status, age, monthly income, and occupation. Notably, when analyzed by demographic characteristics and clothing purchase types, monthly online purchase frequency displayed significant differences in marital status, age, and occupation. Similarly, monthly purchase amounts through online platforms exhibited significant variations based on marital status, age, monthly income, and occupation. The online fashion platforms, when examined in relation to demographic characteristics and purchase types, showed significant differences across all variables. Clothing purchases by consumers seeking individuality and differentiation exhibited significant differences in age, occupation, and purchase types. Furthermore, the reasons for choosing online platforms for clothing purchases varied significantly based on age and occupation. These findings indicate diverse purchasing behaviors on online platforms influenced by demographic characteristics. These findings can be valuable for effectively segmenting the online fashion market.

This study aims to explore the diverse characteristics of obese groups of Korean males in their 20’s to 40’s. A total of 201 males who each had a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 23 or over were recruited through a convenient sampling. Samples were categorized into groups of overweight, slightly obese, and severely obese, and submitted for data analysis. Results are summarized as follows. First, in terms of demographic characteristics, slightly and severely obese males were older than overweight males. There were also group differences in marital status and household income. Second, slightly and severely obese groups demonstrated a higher perception of obesity and a lower perception of health than did the overweight group. Third, there were no group differences in body satisfaction, socio-cultural attitudes toward appearance, and self-esteem. Based on these results, we concluded that overweight, slightly obese, and severely obese groups were distinguishable from each other in terms of their demographic characteristics, whereas the slightly obese group and the severely obese group were not different in terms of perception of obesity, perception of health, weight control behaviors, body satisfaction, body image, socio-cultural attitudes toward appearance, and self-esteem. These findings may reflect that people may not become increasingly sensitive to socio-psychological stimulations as they gain more weight if they have exceeded a certain level of obesity. This observation provides meaningful implications for the differences among obesity groups given the lack of prior research focusing on this issue.

Riptortus pedestris is one of economically important insect pests in soybean fields. The study was conducted at seven constant temperatures of 15.8, 19.7, 24.0, 27.8, 32.6, 34.0 and 35.5℃. We compared the results from life table parameters and oviposition models of R. pedestris between two data sets. One included the total number of eggs and the other used only hatched eggs. When the total number of eggs were included to calculate the parameters the intrinsic rate of increase, net reproductive rate and mean generation time were 0.066, 58.13 and 61.45 at 24℃, respectively. These values were different only when hatched eggs were applied (0.064, 45.46 and 59.41, respectively). The parameters of temperature-dependent total fecundity and age-specific cumulative oviposition rate from each data set were different.

본 연구는 장성 편백치유의 숲(Jangseong Pyunbaek Healing Forest: JPHF) 방문객을 대상으로 방문객 유형과 방문객 유형에 따른 인구사회학적 특성, 이용행태 및 방문동기를 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 자료는 2016년 10-11월중 편의표 본추출법을 통해 선정된 216명의 표본을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문기법을 이용하여 수집되었다. 또한 방문객의 참여활 동에 대한 자료는 동일 기간에 동일한 조사방법을 통해 별도로 수집되었으며 총 476명이 조사에 참여하였다. 분석결과, 응답자의 77.0%가 '휴양객'(방문의 주목적이 건강 및 치유목적보다는 경관감상 및 관광, 사회적 교류 등 일반적 휴양경 험에 있는 방문객)으로 분류되었으며, '치유객'(방문의 주목적이 일반적 휴양객과는 달리 건강 및 심신의 치유에 있는 방문객)은 단지 10.3%에 불과했다. 치유객은 휴양객에 비해 방문경험 수준이 높았으며, 방문 전 JPHF를 ‘조용하며 자연경험을 즐길 수 있는 장소’로 기대하는 경향이 높게 나타났다. 치유객은 휴양객에 비해 ‘혼자서’ 방문하는 경향이 있었으며, 방문그룹의 크기도 휴양객에 비해 적었다. 전 응답자의 26.8%가 JPHF가 치유의 숲이라는 사실을 모르는 것으로 나타났으며, 치유객은 휴양객에 비해 JPHF가 치유의 숲이라는 사실에 대한 높은 인지도를 보였다. 66.8%의 응답자가 JPHF의 전반적 관리 및 운영상태를 긍정적으로 평가하였으며, 6.2%의 응답자만이 부정적으로 평가를 하였다. 치유객과 휴양객 간 JPHF의 전반적 관리상태 평가에는 차이가 없었다. JPHF의 주임도(이용률: 47.4%), 와 치유필드(이용률: 59.2%)에 방문객의 이용집중 현상이 두드러지게 나타났다. 치유객은 ‘고요함’, ‘건강’, ‘긴장완화’ 요인에서 휴양객에 비해 높은 동기를 보인 반면, 휴양객은 치유객에 비해 ‘사회적 교류’ 요인에서 높은 동기를 나타냈다. 분석결과를 토대로 JPHF의 관리적 관점에서 몇 가지 시사점을 제시하였다.

Demographic transition drives changes in consumer demand for food products. This study examines how rising incomes and population trends affect spending on food purchased for home. The objective of this study is to characterize the relationships between selected socio-demographic factors and food selection among South Korean households. Panel data from Rural Development Administration (RDA) in South Korea in 2010 was used (n=971). Household food purchases were classified into one of the five food groups from Composition of Foods of RDA. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of household size and income based on the expenditure share on each food group. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS/ PC version 9.3. Results show that household socio- demographic characteristics have a strong influence on food purchasing, with the purchase of vegetables and fruit, and processed food and pre-packaged being particularly sensitive.

This study aimed to analyze the effect of demographic characteristics of consumers and quality recognition factors on purchase intention of organic wine, and to provide preliminary data necessary for the development of wine industry. By factor analysis of collected surveys, quality recognition factors of both the experienced and non-experienced group of organic wine environment/health, varieties of grapes, price, and four brand elements. First, among demographic characteristics, only income level hae a significant influence on the changes in quality recognition causes. Each of quality recognition causes of organic wine had a significant relation with purchase intent. The result of our analysis suggested that ‘environment/health’ was most influential for the experienced group, and ‘health’ was most influential for the non-experienced group. Therefore, this hypothesis is supported.

지금까지 하이킹 활동이 주를 이루어 왔던 산림휴양지역에 산악자전거 활동(MTB)이 도입되면서 휴양지역의 이용행태에 변화를 가져오고 있으며, 또한 MTB 활동의 증대는 휴양지역의 생태적, 사회적 문제를 초래할 우려가 있다. 본 연구는 인구사회학적 특성 및 방문행태에 따른 상충인지를 포함하여 MTB에 의한 등산객의 상충인지를 조사하였다. 자료수집은 2010년 9월중 무등산도립공원 등산객을 대상으로 현장설문조사를 통해 이루어 졌다. 설문조사에 참여한 388명 중 374명의 응답이 본 연구의 분석에 이용되었다. 응답자의 30.2%가 무등산도립공원내에서 MTB를 보거나 만난 것(평균: 1.7회/조사당일)으로 나타났으며, 응답자의 77.1%는 무등산 도립공원 내 MTB활동이 문제가 있다고 생각하였다. 응답자의 73.5~83.2%가 산악자전거인의 4가지 주요 행동(예, 등산로 상에서 너무 빨리 달리는 산악자전거, 등산로를 차지하고 있는 산악자전거, 등산객 옆을 너무 가까이 지나가는 산악자전거, 등산객에게 불쾌한 행동을 하는 산악자전거인)에 의하여 상충인지를 느끼는 것으로 분석되었다. 응답자의 48.5~62.4%가 "사회적 가치 상충", 11.1~32.4%가 "상호간 상충", 16.8~26.6%가 "상충 없음" 유형에 속하는 것으로 각각 나타났다. 상충유형은 인구사회학적(예, 성별, 연령, 교육수준) 및 방문(예, 방문횟수, MTB와의 조우경험) 특성과 관련이 있었다. 그러나 그러한 관계는 "MTB와의 조우 경험"을 통제하였을 때 대부분의 경우에서 성립되지 않았다.

This study examines the acceptance factors, barriers, benefits, and strategies for resolving Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption and usage problems based on the different demographic characteristics of SMEs. The demographic characteristics investigated are gender, educational qualifications, age, managerial status, and years of business experience. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to examine a more comprehensive demographic characteristics in the context of ICT adoption. A survey using selfadministered questionnaires was conducted to retrieve information from SME owners/managers in Pekalongan, the local city of Indonesia. The items in the questionnaire were discussed with various experts in the field and a pilot study was conducted prior to the distribution of the research instrument. The study made some interesting findings. No significant differences were found in the SMEs’ adoption factors between the demographics of gender groups and educational qualifications. However, significant disparities were found to exist among the age compositions, managerial status, and years in business. Additionally, younger managers/owners of SMEs find it easier to understand the background factors of ICT adoption. Lastly, older managers/owners are more likely to stick to the organizational status quo, be less able to learn new technology, and more likely to avoid risky decisions.

In recent years, the population structure has been changed by the progresses of 6th-industrialization and transportation in farming areas. This study aims to suggest a regional development plan of farming areas in accordance with the demographic changes. Population structure indicators were derived from previous studies and literature review in order to identify the types of farming areas. Demographic indicators separated to depopulation and population growth in farming areas through a standardized scoring method. This research found that the division of economy is not only the most important division in any other regional development divisions but also necessary to develop new sources of non-farm income through traditional culture, natural environment. In the social division, it is necessary to secure the facilities for the formation of a sense of community to multicultural families and existing residents in farming areas. In the environmental division, it is desirable to improve the quality and satisfaction of life for residents such as the sidewalk and park that utilize ecological environment, culture, history for both depopulation and population region. In the physical division, there is a need for improvement of the facilities of basic living infrastructure service such as roads, water supply and sewerage systems. In the institution division, sustainable financial support of the central government policy for farming areas is crucial for the improvement of residential environment in the farming areas of depopulation and population region.

Purpose This study investigated – the demographic characteristics of retirees who sought not to be reemployed or join an organization but, instead, to be self-employed. This study verified self-employment by regional and/or educational features to determine the self-employment factors and the policies required. Research design, data, and methodology – Models and hypotheses were used to verify the conversion into self-employment depending on retirees’ demographic characteristics. This study investigated regions according to precedent studies and used SPSS 18.0 as follows. First, frequency was used to investigate the general characteristics. Second, a factor correlation analysis was done. Results – Hypothesis 1, which stated that, "retirees with low educational background often start a self-employed business," was significant. Hypothesis 2, which stated that, "retirees in metropolitan areas frequently start a self-employed business," was significant. Hypothesis 3, which stated that, "retirees in a megalopolis frequently start a self-employed business," was significant. Conclusions – A preliminary startup education was needed to lessen the losses. Retirees should have preliminary knowledge of actual self-employment conditions to be given a startup education.
