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.

Food is essential for sustenance and reflects a country’s identity, making it crucial to identify the cultural needs for effectively localizing Korean food. This study surveyed 825 adults from four continents (eight countries) to examine their preferences, familiarity, and attitudes toward Korean food. Significant correlations(p< .001) were found between the familiarity and preference for Korean food, with variations observed across continents. Among the representative Korean food items, the average preference score was 4.67, and the purchase/recommendation intention score was 4.88. Seven items received above-average ratings (e.g., gogi-deopbap and kimchi-bokkeumbap), while some items showed high liking but low purchase/recommendation intention (e.g. dak-jjim and galbi-jjim). In addition, items such as gimbap and tteokbokki had high purchase/recommendation intention but low liking, and kimchi and vegetable foods etc. received low liking and purchase/recommendation intentions. In terms of the preferred meat according to the cooking method and seasoning, beef respondents preferred grilled · stir-fried and soup·stew·hot pot cooking methods, while pork or chicken respondents preferred grilled · stir-fried and frying methods. Soy sauce was the most preferred seasoning for all meat responses, followed by red pepper paste. These research findings provide fundamental data for developing Korean food products, segmented by continent.

본 연구는 IPA 기법을 이용하여 중국인 골프장 이용객의 골프장 선택속성 요인에 대한 재방문 의도 및 추천의도에 미치는 영향을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 수행하고자 중국인 골프장 이용객 388명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 자료처리 및 IPA 분석을 실시한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째 선택속성의 중요도는 직원 예절, 만족도는 식당 및 식음료 가격이 가장 높게 나타났다. 둘째, IPA 매 트릭스 분석 결과, 지속유지에는 8개, 집중개선은 14개, 낮은 우선순위는 5개, 과잉노력지양은 3개의 선택 속성이 분포하였다. 셋째 비용, 접근성, 코스시설, 부대시설, 캐디 전문성, 이용객 관리의 만족도가 재방문 과 추천 의도에 모두 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 중국인 골프장 이용객으로 한정하였기 때 문에 골프문화가 다른 국가에서 연구된 선행연구와는 그 결과를 비교하는데 있어 차이가 있을 수 있기 때 문에 문화의 다양성을 고려한 연구들이 향후에 진행되어야 할 것이다.
