The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the experiences and subjective opinions of urban agriculture in order to explore ways to vitalize urban agriculture. More specifically, we divides environmental value into three categories of ecology, landscape, and participation, and defines a function of urban agriculture to improve environmental values related to the three categories mentioned above. The main results of the empirical analysis using the survey data are summarized as follows. First, the probability of gathering information about urban agriculture is higher in metropolitan cities than small cities, and the larger the residence size, the higher the probability of actual urban agriculture participation. Second, the positive response rate was high for the three categories of urban agriculture, while the negative response rate was high for the surrounding environment. The implications derived from the analysis are as follows. First, the opposite results of experiences of urban agriculture suggests that local governments should further promote urban agriculture-based investment policies. In addition, these policies need to be preceded by analysis of the characteristics of population groups in the region Also, it is necessary to improve the environment through urban agriculture.

The 40-hour work week system has brought positive impact on shortening working hours, eliminating long-time work, increasing leisure-time with family, etc. And this has brought about an increase in leisure-life satisfaction and happiness level. The type of leisure activities has changed from passive activities such as rest to active activities such as sports, tourism. And the 40-hour work week system has positive impact on social activities such as participation in volunteer work and, club activities. Thus all efforts need to be made to establish 40-hour work week system as soon as possible in all workplace. Firstly, 40-hour work week system needs to be introduced to every workplace with less than 5 persons, enlarge 5-day school week system into every primary and secondary school, and create conditions for positive leisure activities. Secondly, labor standards supervision and administration needs to be strengthened to eliminate long-time work over 52 hours per week, below-minimum wage work.

Since the launch of Pokémon GO in 2016, the game has been loved for many users. Although the number of Pokémon GO users has declined, lots of users still enjoy the location-based augmented reality game. From the perspective of game properties and Use & Gratifications theory, this paper investigated the antecedents of continuance intention of Pokémon GO. A total of 258 responses from Pokémon Go users was collected by an online survey. The result of regression analysis showed that attitude toward game characters, attitude toward random game elements, social interaction, competition, and physical activity increased continuance intention. Perceived cost, however, decreased continuance intention. Implications for researchers and practitioners were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the female college students' preferences to the images of both western and eastern pictures, and positive/negative perception on to the model's nationality in the apparel advertizing pictures of fashion magazines. 100 students participated in the survey, and 20 stimulus pictures were shown to them. The results were as follows: The female college students preferred the western images than the eastern images in the pictures of bedroom, palace and beer, while they preferred the eastern images in the pictures of snack and famous drawings of a beauty. But they showed more positive attitude to all the western models' advertizement pictures than the eastern models' ones, in casual wear, formal wear, watches and inner-wear divisions except in men's formal wear division. This meant that the perception of female students on western images was positive and it seems stimulating the consumers preferences of brand images.

In this study, we investigated the elementary school students' images of science class and the factors influencing their formations. 280 sixth graders were selected from nine elementary schools in Gyeonggi province and Gangwon province and the DASCT-C (Draw-A-Science-Class-Test Checklist) was administered. In addition, four students were individually interviewed in order to investigate their responses deeply. Analyses of the results revealed that the students' images of science class for four science subjects (physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science) were more 'student-centered' than 'teacher-centered' or 'neutral'. The students of the teacher with student-centered image of science class had also more student-centered images than those with teacher-centered images. Many students answered that the main factors affecting their images of science class were the experiences of impressed or funny science classes, the perceptions of wanted science classes, the active science learning experiences, the educational experiences outside the school curriculum, and the negative science learning experiences. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

본 연구에서는 객관적 환경지표와 그에 대한 인간의 주관적 반응간 의 인과적 관련도의 중요성이 강조된다. 좀 더 구체적으로, 거주자의 주관 적 반응인 주거만족과 객관적 환경지표의 하나인 주거환경유형들(건물유형 과 건물배치유형)과의 인과적 관련도가 본 연구에서 중점적으로 토의된다. 한국의 6개 대단위 공동주택단지가 본 연구의 대상지로 선정되었고, 표본 추출시 건물유형과 건물배치유형을 고려한 다단계 표집방법(multistage sampling)이 사용되었다. 설문면답방법(modified structured survey)에 의해 646명의 처리 가능한 응답이 수거되었다. 인과모형 검증의 첫 단계로서 다 수의 설문문항을 원래 관심있는 소수의 변수로 정선, 추출하기 위한 방법 으로 요인분석이 사용되었다. 요인분석으로부터 정선, 추출된 변수를 이용 해서 본 연구의 가설모형이 정립되고, 그 모형을 검증하기 위한 방법으로 경로분석이 사용되었다. 분석결과를 요약해 볼 때, 건물유형과 건물배치유 형 모두가 거주자의 지각, 인식, 태도 등의 적절한 매개변수들을 통해 거주 자의 주거만족에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 건물유형은 일반 적으로 저층주거에서 고충주거로 바뀌면서, 거주자의 주거만족에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있음이 확인되었고, 고층주거가 거주자에게 주는 시각적 단 조로움, 과밀감, 그리고 주차장을 포함한 옥외공간 이용상의 불편들과 또 그들로 인한 낮은 안전성 및 경관에 대한 불만족 등이 그 이유로서 밝혀졌 다. 건물배치유형의 경우, U자형의 배치유형이 선형배치유형에 비해 과밀 감 해소, 시각적 명료성 향상, 그리고 옥외공간 이용상의 편리 등 및 또 그 에 따른 경관에 대한 만족의 향상 때문에 거주자의 주거만족을 높이는 데 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 주거와 관련된 설계 및 계획분야를 위한 여러 다 양한 제안들이 본 연구에서 제시되고, 추후 관련 연구들을 위한 가능성들 도 토의되었다. 그 유용성 때문에, 아직 많은 이론적, 방법론적, 그리고 분 석상의 문제에도 불구하고, 객관적 환경지표들과 이용자들의 만족을 포함 한 다양한 주관적 변수들과의 관계를 경험적으로 밝히려는 시도가 계속되 어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Although e-Learning contents contain audio materials as well as visual materials, research on the design of audio materials has been focused on visual design. If it is considered that non-speech sounds which are a type of audio materials can promptly provide feedbacks of learners' responses and guide learners' learning process, the systemic design of non-speech sounds is needed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the learners' perceptions toward non-speech sounds contained the e-Learning contents with multidimensional scaling method. For this purpose, the eleven non-speech sounds were selected among non-speech sounds designed Korea Open Courseware. The 66 juniors in A university responded the degree of similarity among 11 non-speech sounds and the learners' perceptions towards non-speech sounds were represented in the multidimensional space. The result shows that learners perceive separately non-speech sounds by the length of non-speech sounds and the atmosphere which is positive or negative.

This study examined influencing factors on the attitudes toward elders with a focus on empathy. Data were gathered from 291 nurses working at 14 geriatric hospitals in Kyunggi-Do, Chungchung-Do and Incheon. In analyzing the data, Pearson correlation coefficients, t-test, ANOVA, and regression analysis were adopted. Attitudes toward elders were neutral on the average; those nurses revealed both positive and negative aspects such as friendly, good, kind, conservative, sick and dependent. Of the four empathy scales, only empathic concern revealed significant correlation with the attitudes toward elders. Regression model included empathic concern and the nurses' characteristics. Empathic concern was significant in predicting the attitudes toward elders after controlling for the effects of the nurses' characteristics. Experience of voluntary work for elders was the only predictor among individual characteristics. Explanatory power of the model was 10.7%. We need to develop intervention programs raising empathy among nurses. The instrument measuring empathy needs to be examined.
