대형마트를 운영하는 회사들은 2012. 1. 17. ｢유통산업발전법｣이 개정 되어 지방자치단체장들로부터 영업시간 제한 및 의무휴업일 지정의 영업 규제를 받자 이에 불복하여 소송을 제기하였고, 대법원은 2015. 11. 19. 선고 2015두295 전원합의체 판결로 지방자치단체장들의 대형마트에 대 한 영업시간 제한 및 의무휴업일 지정 처분은 적법하다고 판시하였다. 위 대법원 판결에서 다수의견·반대의견·보충의견이 첨예하게 대립한 논쟁의 쟁점은 대형마트 내에 입점하여 있는 용역제공 장소가 영업시간 제한 및 의무휴업일 지정 규제의 대상이 되는지와 관련하여 대형마트로 등록된 대규모점포 의 요건에 관한 구 ｢유통산업발전법｣ 및 동법시행령의 해석에 관한 것이었다. 위와 같이 대법원 전원합의체에서 다수의견·반대의견·보충의견이 나 뉠 정도로 ｢유통산업발전법｣ 체계가 혼란스럽고 내용이 불명확하여 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 ｢유통산업 발전법｣상 용어인 매장·점포·시장 등에 대한 개념의 명확화, 대규모점 포 등의 영업형태 분류의 현실화 및 체계화, 영업형태와 관련한 영업규 제의 필요성 등이 반영된 입법 수정작업을 하여 대형마트의 용역제공 장 소를 둘러싼 논쟁을 근본적으로 해결하여야 할 것이다. 또한 ｢유통산업 발전법｣의 입법취지에 반하여 특정한 영업형태를 규제하려는 것은 오히 려 영업형태의 발전과 진화를 막는 결과를 초래하고 유통산업의 발전을 저해하는 결과를 초래할 것이므로 출점규제 내지 영업규제를 최소화 하 여야 하는 방향으로 입법이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 궁극적으로는 대형마 트를 비롯한 대규모점포의 규제는 중소유통업자를 보호하기 위한 경제적 목적 규제 가 아닌 외국 선진 입법례와 같이 환경, 교통, 토지의 효율적 이용 등을 목적으로 하는 사회적 목적의 규제 로 전환하는 입법이 이루 어져야 할 것이다.

The aims of this study were to identify the dimensions of both store and PB apparel product attributes at large discount stores, and to empirically examine the effects of each dimension of store and PB apparel product attributes on satisfaction with PB apparel products and on repurchase intension. Questionnaires were given to 264 large discount store customers, who have experienced buying PB apparel products at large discount stores. The results were as follows. First, purchased PB items and image, improvement of PB apparel products showed differences by gender. Second, the dimensions for store attributes were categorized as convenient of shopping environment, product quality, customer service, advertising reach, convenient location, and reasonable prices. The PB apparel product attributes were categorized as material handling management, quality, fashion ability, and brand power. Third, generally, both store and PB apparel product attributes at large discount stores are significantly related to PB apparel satisfaction and repurchase intention. PB satisfaction and repurchase intention of males were partly affected by store attributes and PB apparel product attributes. PB satisfaction and repurchasing intention of females, however, were partly affected by only PB apparel product attributes, not store attributes.

This study surveyed and compared the temperatures established in display stands and food surfaces for cold and frozen foods in large discount stores in Korea. The temperatures established in display stands for cold food ranged with 3.5 ± 1.8 ℃ as mean, minimum and maximum were 0 ℃ and 7 ℃ . However, the surface temperatures of cold food on sale ranged with 10.7 ± 2.9 ℃ as a mean, minimum 4.6 ℃ and maximum 18.4 ℃ . Totally, the surface temperature of cold food on sale was 7.2 ℃ , as a mean, higher than established in display stands for cold food in large discount stores in Korea. 53% of the surveyed cold foods were more than 10 ℃ in surface temperature and only 47% was less than 10 ℃ . The differences between temperatures were lowest in fruits, salads and vegetables, but highest in milk products. On the other hand, the temperatures established in display stands for frozen food showed a range with −20.7 ± 1 ℃ as a mean. However, the surface temperatures of frozen food on sale showed a range with −15.4 ±5 ℃ as a mean, minimum −28 ℃ and maximum −4.6 ℃ (included defrosting). The surface temperatures of frozen food,frozen meats, frozen processed foods and ice creams were −13.8 ℃ , −15.9 ℃ , and −16.8 ℃ , respectively. Only 32.3%of surveyed frozen foods showed less than −18 ℃ in surface temperature. In conclusion, the temperatures established on cold and frozen food display stands were less than those of cold and frozen food surfaces on sale. There was also much variation in food surface temperatures during cold and frozen food storage and sales. Therefore, a temperature management system technology use at the distribution level for cold and frozen foods will be developed.
