Tosolve complex and diverse social problems and ensure the quality of life of individuals, social robots that can interact with humans are attracting attention. In the past, robots were recognized as beings that provide labor force as they put into industrial sites on behalf of humans. However, the concept of today's robot has been extended to social robots that coexist with humans and enable social interaction with the advent of Smart technology, which is considered an important driver in most industries. Specifically, there are service robots that respond to customers, the robots that have the purpose of edutainment, and the emotionalrobots that can interact with humans intimately. However, popularization of robots is not felt despite the current information environment in the modern ICT service environment and the 4th industrial revolution. Considering social interaction with users which is an important function of social robots, not only the technology of the robots but also other factors should be considered. The design elements of the robot are more important than other factors tomake consumers purchase essentially a social robot. In fact, existing studies on social robots are at the level of proposing "robot development methodology" or testing the effects provided by social robots to users in pieces. On the other hand, consumer emotions felt from the robot's appearance has an important influence in the process of forming user's perception, reasoning, evaluation and expectation. Furthermore, it can affect attitude toward robots and good feeling and performance reasoning, etc. Therefore, this study aims to verify the effect of appearance of social robot and consumer emotions on consumer's attitude toward social robot. At this time, a social robot design evaluation model is constructed by combining heterogeneous data from different sources. Specifically, the three quantitative indicator data for the appearance of social robots from the ABOT Database is included in the model. The consumer emotions of social robot design has been collected through (1) the existing design evaluation literature and (2) online buzzsuch as product reviews and blogs, (3) qualitative interviews for social robot design. Later, we collected the score of consumer emotions and attitudes toward various social robots through a large-scale consumer survey. First, we have derived the six major dimensions of consumer emotions for 23 pieces of detailed emotions through dimension reduction methodology. Then, statistical analysis was performed to verify the effect of derived consumer emotionson attitude toward social robots. Finally, the moderated regression analysis was performed to verify the effect of quantitatively collected indicators of social robot appearance on the relationship between consumer emotions and attitudes toward social robots. Interestingly, several significant moderation effects were identified, these effects are visualized with two-way interaction effect to interpret them from multidisciplinary perspectives. This study has theoretical contributions from the perspective of empirically verifying all stages from technical properties to consumer's emotion and attitudes toward social robots by linking the data from heterogeneous sources. It has practical significance that the result helps to develop the design guidelines based on consumer emotions in the design stage of social robot development.

A natural monument is designated and protected as a natural or natural/cultural feature of outstanding or unique value because of its aesthetic qualities or cultural significance. However, in recent years, a natural monument plays a role in satisfying the cultural desire of people. For this reason, the main purpose of this study was to investigate public awareness of natural monuments and to evaluate the attitudes towards nature the visitors to Naejang national park displayed. This study also examined the differences in visitors' level of attitudes towards nature according to their awareness of natural monuments. Population of Macropodous Daphniphyllum (Natural Monument No. 91) and Forest of Japanese Torreyas at Baegyangsa Temple, Jangseong (Natural Monument No. 153) are present in large numbers in Naejang national park. For the research, 240 Naejang national park visitors were surveyed to collect data. Results of this study indicated that fewer than 50% of visitors displayed an appropriate awareness of natural monuments. There were also significant differences in attitudes towards nature according to visitors' awareness of natural monuments. In particular, visitors' awareness of the population of Macropodous Daphniphyllum was relatively lower when compared to that on Forest of Japanese Torreyas at Baegyangsa Temple. In addition, visitors who had a high level of awareness about natural monuments and thought that natural monuments had high cultural value displayed more positive attitudes than those who didn't have good levels of awareness. Based on these findings, this study suggests policy changes to establish development plans of the natural monuments in this area.

Media reports of suicides has been found to increase suicide cases that were temporally and spacially proximal to the reports, but the psychological mechanisms, social learning, underlying the negative effects was not directly tested. The present study examined the cognitive processes of social learning that media reports of suicides, especially positive contents toward suicides, might change people's perception, memory, and attitudes toward suicides positively and subsequently increase subsequent suicide intentions and behaviors. Through an internet survey, 300 adults reported their perception, memory, and attitudes toward news reports of suicides, and rated whether the suicides were described positively or negatively in the reports. Finally they reported their suicide intentions and behaviors. The results revealed that people tended to remember more the contents of suicide reports suggested to increase copycat suicides. Also, people were found to have an ironic view to suicide reports of media that they acknowledged the dangers of suicides reports and approached the reports with curiosity. More importantly, the perception of the positive reward that suicides might achieved through suicides was related with positive attitudes toward suicides and behavioral intention to suicides. The present findings was discussed in the social learning understanding of copycat suicides and their implications for suicide-prevention strategies.

As foreign tourists visiting Korea increase and Koreans traveling overseas become more frequent, a study on the level of domestic consumers' acceptance of different cultures and the perception towards products from different cultures is needed. In this study, a perceptual curiosity, which is an individual personality, was divided into Diverse perceptual curiosity and Specific perceptual curiosity, and effects of perceptual curiosity on an attitude towards different cultures and an intention to recommend products from different cultures were examined. To prove validity of measurement items and reliability of data, SPSS and LISREL were used and to prove a hypothesis, a structural equation model was used. The study results showed that the Diverse perceptual curiosity, which is Hypothesis 1, had a positive effect on the attitude towards different cultures while the Specific perceptual curiosity, which is Hypothesis 2, did not have a significant effect on the attitude towards different cultures. In addition, it was shown that the attitude towards different cultures, which is Hypothesis 3, had a significant positive effect on the intention to recommend the products from different cultures.

Purpose: Most of the studies in the country on earthquake-induced landslide predict the displacement of the slope. Until now, no studies have been conducted on the occurrence of landslides and damage characteristics by earthquakes. Therefore, this study was conducted to obtain basic data of landslides caused by earthquakes. Method: In order to analyze the characteristics of earthquake-causing landslides, we have collected data reported in the media over the past decade. Landslides in foreign countries were analyzed separately by cause of occurrences such as rainfall and earthquake. Landslides from abroad were analyzed according to the cause of the occurrence, and landslides caused by earthquakes were further analyzed as follows: the magnitude of an earthquake, year of occurrence, number of occurrences by continent, damage status, etc. Result: In the past 10 years, a total of 608 landslides have been reported from overseas, and the cause is the highest with 340 landslides due to rainfall. There were 70 cases of landslides caused by earthquakes, and it was analyzed as the second cause of landslides. The average magnitude for earthquakes that caused landslides was 6.5, and the minimum and maximum magnitude were 4.4 and 8.2 respectively. The earthquake-induced landslides were the most occurrence in 2011yr and 2012yr, and the continent was the most common in Asia. Also, It was analyzed that if an earthquake caused landslides, the number of casualties increased and the size of the damage increased. Conclusion: Currently, earthquakes are steadily increasing in Korea, and the possibility of strong earthquakes is also increasing. Earthquake-induced landslides are beyond human control due to natural disasters but can minimize damage through active prevention and response. It is expected that the results of this study will be used as basic data in establishing measures for earthquake landslides to reduce property and human damage in the future.

이 논문의 목적은 우리 나라에서 인구증가나 인구억제 등 인구에 관한 국민들의 가치관의 변화를 살펴보기 위한 것이다. 여기서 말하는 가치란 특정한 사회구조의 산물이며 동시에 그 사회를 구성하는 개인들의 행위의 동기가 되며 행위의 지침이 되는 모든 태도와 관심을 말한다. 우리 나라는 1960년대 초부터 정부가 주도하여 실시한 가족 계획 사업을 국민들이 적극적으로 받아 들여 출산율의 억제에 성공한 대표적인 나라로 손꼽힌다. 이에 따라 우리 나라에서는 많은 조사 특히 인구억제를 위한 피임 및 자녀수에 대한 조사연구를 했다. 이들 조사는 대부분 질문표를 이용한 조사였기에 실제 상황에 접하지 않고 가상적인 상황을 설정하여 그에 대한 반응을 알아 낸 자료이기에 실제상황에 봉착했을 때 꼭 그와 같이 행동하리라는 보장은 없다. 위와 같은 단점을 고려하여 주요 신문의 사설을 국민감정과 가치를 대변하는 가장 적합한 자료로 이용했다. 우리 나라에서 지난 수십년간 가장 큰 영향을 미친 대중매체는 신문이었으며 또한 오늘날까지 계속 발간되고 있는 신문으로서 동아일보와 조선일보를 손꼽을 수 있다. 1955년부터 1996년 말까지 두 신문이 밝나한 사설의 수는 30,000여 편을 넘는다. 인구에 간접적으로 관련되는 사설의 수는 수백 수천편에 달하겠으나 직접적으로 관련된 사설을 130편으로 집계되었다. 이 자료를 인구증가, 산아제한 및 가족계획, 법 및 정책, 인구 재분배, 수도권 인구 억제, 인구와 사회문제, 노동력과 취업, 및 인구자료-센서스 등 8가지 범주로 구분했다. 이들 각각에 대한 관점을 5년 간격으로 제시하고 마지막으로 역년(曆年) 5년 간격으로 그 주요 쟁점의 변화를 요약했다.
