The purpose of this study is to examine the difference of judge's gender and age groups in preference of S/S men's suit fabrics, and to analyze the relationship between the preference and the texture by gender and age group. For this study, 60 types of S/S men's suit fabrics were used with variously-composed fibers, such as wool, wool-blended, and PET, thickness, and weight. To evaluate the texture and the preference subjectively, nine ranks' semantic differential scale questions of 22 texture adjectives and preference of 4 apparel items were developed, Through the factor analysis, texture adjectives were classified into 7 categories: "stiffness," "elasticity," "bulkiness," "coolness," "smoothness," and "drapability." Depending on gender and age groups of judges, statistically significant differences on texture factors and the preference were observed. Especially, men under 30 years of age showed a higher grade of stiffness and a lower preference on pants than other groups. The relationship between the texture and the preference was different by gender and age group: Women evaluated a preference of men's suit fabrics in relation to stiffness and smoothness, whereas men did so in relation to stiffness, smoothness, coolness, and drapability. A young age group put more importance on drapability for preference of men's suit fabric.

The purposes of this study are to analyze shopmasters' knowledge of apparel merchandise and textile recognition and to investigate the effects of demographic variables on them. Shopmasters' knowledge of apparel merchandise was analyzed on a factor basis. Four factors of apparel merchandise were fashion property, material property, function property and management property. The textile knowledge level of shopmasters was 72.44%. Considering each part of textile knowledge, basic property was 74.69%, comfort 72.17%, management 68.36% and finishing 77.33%. The level of recognition in finishing area was the highest and the level of recognition in management area was the lowest. There were significant differences in the textile knowledge by gender and working period. Female's textile knowledge level was higher. The longer the working period is, the higher the level of textile knowledge is. Shopmasters recognized the finishing area better than university students did.

There m many noise sources in living environment. Especially, noise that happen in apartment or tenement house may make neighborhood serious troubles. Thus, the development of new materials to reduce and improve the living noises is required. During past decade, various methodologies have been developed and researched to reduce and improve the living noises. However, there are many problems to apply these methodologies to practical our environment. In this thesis, we develop the new artificial material supporting high porous materials and lower pressure density to improve the problem caused in the safety design and sound absorbing material. To prove the efficiency of the developed methodology, we compare our methodology with conventional methodologies and also suggest an alternative methodology to contribute quiet life environments.

The main purpose of this research was to develop upcycled DIY kits made from subway billboard material to make living products. This study was conducted based on the following four stages of design process: research and analyses, DIY kits' design direction establishment, completion of DIY kits, and implementation and evaluation. Through this study, we developed DIY kits for pouches, tissue cases and pencil cases. In the implementation and evaluating stage, we chose to make pouches because it includes zipper attachment process. Implementation was conducted by recruiting four high school students and four female adults. As a result, we found the following: First, the participants were able to make pouches in less than an hour. Second, pouch making has a moderate degree of difficulty. Third, video instructions should be slowed down. Forth, materials need to be improved. Fifth, environmental awareness was improved by using unfamiliar subway billboard materials. The upcycled DIY kits, developed as a result of this study, can be used as eco-friendly education sources for secondary school students as well as for adults' healing hobby.
