Small and medium sized enterprises' (SMEs) environmental performance and activities have been often of great concern toward sustainability as they have been playing a critically important role in the economic and industrial development. Among many initiatives to engage SMEs into the sustainability framework, Supply Chain Environmental Management (SCEM) of large companies has a great potential to persuade SMEs to adopt environmentally improved activities. This study investigated the relationship between SCEM approaches of large companies and environmental activities of SMEs in the Korean electronics industry. A postal questionnaire survey was used as a data collection method, and factor analysis and regression analysis were applied to analyse the collected data. The empirical findings suggested that SCEM approaches of large companies have positive impacts on environmental activities of SMEs. Among SCEM approaches, the collaborative approach was more effective than the arm's-length approach. Additionally, this study found positive impacts of trans-national SCEM approaches on SMEs' environmental activities.

This study was performed to investigate the recognition of Korean farmers for the safety of environment-friendly organic materials (EFOMs). The main purchase line of environment-friendly organic materials was the sustainable agriculture organizations, and decisive basis for the materials purchase was because they thought that agricultural produce cultivated with EFOMs were safe. Currently farmers obtained the most information about EFOMs through farmer's education operated by agricultural technology center. Sixty nine percent of respondents hoped that they would get the information on the website and through official education opened by of the government or relative institutions. Whereas, only a few respondents hoped that they would get the information from the sellers. Therefore we thought that government and related institutions should operate the education program to give the sellers the scientific and accurate information about EFOMs. In addition, farmers are highly recognized the necessity of safety-related information provided by government and related institutions. Most Farmers thought that safety education for farmers using EFOMs was very important. Also, it was confirmed that farmer respondents thought to need to establish the shelf-life and user guideline and to label about toxic category of EFOMs. The Cronbach' alpha coefficient calculated in order to verify the reliability of survey questions was 0.699. That value indicates that responses of the respondents in this study might be reliable.

This study was conducted to develop and propose the evaluation indicators to evaluate the eco-friendliness of the library, when certified as the eco-friendly Green Libraries. To do this, we extracted the green library components through an analysis of the green library literatures and case studies, and surveyed the perceptions of the library staffs about the assessment factors. Finally, we developed the green library evaluation index with 11 evaluation areas, 31 evaluation items, and 135 evaluation indicators. The 11 evaluation areas are as follows; Land use and transportation, energy and environmental protection, materials and resources, water cycle management, maintenance management, ecological environment, the indoor environment, the library resources, the eco-education programs and campaigns, the staff and operations, and the computerization.

The purpose of this study is to find out suggestions for government policy and expansion of consumption of environmental-friendly agricultural products(EFAP). For this purpose, we did research on purchasing pattern of EFAP and understanding of government environmental-friendly agricultural policy. First, the purchase of EFAP has been increased, because EFAP is safer. Consumers prefer department store because it is easier than any other marketing. Difficulties which consumers are facing when they purchase EFAP are price and credibility and small number of stores. Most favorable item is vegetable and the price of rice which consumers are willing to pay is really high. Second, not many consumers do recognize the label and system of EFAP. Third, most famous authentication institution agricultural products quality management service and other institutions are not recognized. Consumers recognize the certificate of origin. The government policy for safe food consumption is to intensify government supervision on foods. Suggestions from these results are as follow: First, the urgent problem to expand consumption of EFAP is credibility of EFAP. To make consumers trust EFAP, these are considered as useful solutions, i.e. recall, quality management service, standardization, and better quality. Second, government should be continue public relation, education and supervision of EFAP. Third, quality management should be continued. Not only central government but also local quality management institutions should continue quality management service. Last, local government should help farmers of EFAP to solve the difficulties of marketing.

The existing transportation system, which is based on internal combustion engines, is rapidly being converted to electrification. Thus, eco-friendly public transportation with high transportation efficiency will continue to spread throughout the market in the near future. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the cognitive characteristics of passengers redgarding the technical and social factors of various public transportation means to help a successful introduction of eco-friendly public transit. Through a survey questionnaire (N=485), seven factors of seven transportation modes were evaluated and analyzed using principal component analysis. As a result, it is confirmed that potential passengers have high expectations for the eco-friendliness and city image of the eco-friendly buses. Also, it is confirmed that eco-friendly buses are superior in cleanliness and ride comfort than diesel buses. Given the study's results, this study identifies the cognitive characteristics of passengers regarding eco-friendly public transportation. We hope that these results will be used as basic information for image positioning and improved service with the use of eco-friendly transportation.

The purpose of this study is to secure the basic data for the physical environment of an eco-friendly restaurant by surveying and analyzing customer perceptions of the servicescape of an eco-friendly restaurant and to verify the organic causation of the servicescape of an eco-friendly restaurant and customer perceived value, attitude and behavior intention. The samples for empirical analysis were selected from the customers over 20 years who lives in Seoul and Kyung-gi suburbs have experienced visiting eco-friendly restaurant or green restaurant more than once a month. Total 300 copies of questionnaire were distributed for the survey from the second day to the fifteenth day of April for 14 days, and total 264 (88.0%) copies of survey questionnaire except for some questionnaires that had much strong lean tendency or the missing value was discovered. The research results are as follows; when a customer recognizes an eco-friendly restaurant favorably, he or she considers that servicescape plays an important role in deciding perceived value through tangible and intangible perceived values. Since, customer perceived value has a positive effect on attitude and behavior intention, the customer considers as affected on his/her behavior intention when satisfied with the eco-friendly restaurant, which is considered that positive customer attitude will have an effect on behavior intention. Thus, it is considered based on this in-depth analysis result that maintaining and providing servicescape of high standard in the manager's perspective will have a direct effect on ensuring tangible outcomes.
