In the 21^st century, the demand for eco-friendly leather, such as eco-leather and vegan leather, is steadily increasing. This study examines the influence of eco-friendliness on consumers' purchasing intentions and the possibility of eco-friendly changes in the fashion accessory market, which is dominated by leather material and leather substitutes. This study administered a questionnaire survey to 227 males and females between 20 and 60 years of age in Korea. With a 5-point Likert scale, data were collected on evaluation criteria when purchasing shoes and bags and purchasing intention of various leather substitute materials according to the democratic variables. The eco-friendliness attitude was divided into eco-consciousness and green behavior. As the eco-friendly attitude increased, most purchasing standards increased, but the purchasing criteria, such as trends, brands, and prices, did not correlate with the eco-friendly attitude. The eco-consciousness of a consumer had a high correlation with the design evaluation criteria, while the green behavior of the consumer aligned with durability and comfort criteria when purchasing a bag. There was a preference for recycled leather, vegetable leather, synthetic leather, and chemical leather, and the fabric type was ranked as natural fiber, biodegradable fiber, and synthetic fiber. Consumers with both green behavior and eco-consciousness are more likely to purchase biodegradable textiles and vegetable leather for the material of shoes and bags.

The purpose of this study was to investigate use and purchase behavior of sleeping wear for summer. Subjects in this study were composed of 591 males and females aged from twenties to fifties, living in Taejon and Chongju. For data analysis, descriptive analysis, $\chi$$^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, and factor analysis were used. The results are as follows. First, subjects used sleeping wear(a night gown and pajamas), and home wear(T-shirts and sweat suit with zippered top) with similar rates. The subjects, who are females, married, older and have professional jobs, owned sleeping wear such as a night gown and pajamas more than home wear. Also, the mean of using pajamas was the highest, and they were satisfied with them more than others who didn't wear them. Second, one-third of consumers purchased sleeping wear once a year in a specialty store. Consumers mainly searched for information regarding sleeping wear in the display section. Most consumers weren't influenced by others when they made their purchases. When consumers decided to purchase a product, they considered six criteria such as fabric/management, wearing/fitness, esthetic, service, symbolic status, and economic for evaluating. Among them, the factor wearing/fitness was considered the most important. These results imply that consumers would be conscious of sleeping wear even though sleeping wear and home wear are used interchangeably. In addition, consumer behavior concerning sleeping wear is different from their characteristics such as sex, age, occupation, the level of education, and marital state. Therefore, the markets with sleeping wear would be able to be segmented based on consumers’characteristics. Also, marketers should focus on distribution channels to reform the markets of sleeping wear, that is, they may offer products in specialty stores. Additionally, market managers would be able to concentrate on visual merchandising in stores in order to increase brand awareness and market share.

Price, one of the marketing 4p's, is a key decision variable affecting market share and the profitability of individual products. For consumers, since price is almost always known to and can be compared, it is one of the most important criteria when they make a purchase decision making. With the consumers' increasing consciousness for price due to economic recession, and the saturation of domestic apparel market, it is expected that the effect of price on consumers' decision making would be greater than ever. This study, the first in two part series, focuses on testing the validity of dimensions of clothing price using Lichtenstein et. at. (1993)'s suggestion. In addition, the effect of demographic variables on the perception of each price dimension was investigated. The subjects were 264 college students living in Seoul, Korea. The data were collected by self -administered questionnaires and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, regression analysis and Lisrel confirmatory factor analysis. The result supported Lichtenstein et. al. (1993)'s suggestion. That is, consumers' perception of clothing price is not mini-dimensional, but has six dimensions: sale proneness, price mavenism, value consciousness, price consciousness, price -quality schema and prestige sensitivity. Demographic variables partially effect on the consumers' perception of each clothing price dimension. The level of monthly pocket money, however, has influence on all price dimensions. Based on these results, marketing implications for apparel manufacturers were suggested.

정보기술의 급격한 발전은 새로운 시장환경인 인터넷 쇼핑몰의 증가에 영향을 미쳤다. 인터넷 쇼핑몰은 소비자 관여와 같은 소비자 행동을 변화시켰고, 이에 따라 마케터들은 인터넷 상에서 소비자들이 의류제품을 구매할 때 중요시하는 제품 평가기준 및 점포 평가기준에 관심을 가지게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 인터넷 쇼핑몰 이용자의 소비자관여와 인터넷 사용능력에 따라 소비자 집단을 분류하여 인터넷 상에서 각 소비자 집단에 따른 의류제품 및 웹 서비스 평가기준의 차이를 알아보았다. 본 연구의 연구대상은 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서 의류제품 구매경험이 있으며, 수도권에 거주하는 $20\sim30$대 성인남녀로 판단표본 추출하였다. 설문지 방식을 사용해 자료를 수집, 총 305부를 분석에 사용하였으며, 소비자관여와 의류제품 평가기준 및 웹 서비스 평가기준을 측정하기 위한 변수들은 기존 선행연구들에서 조사한 후 본 연구에 맞도록 재구성하였다. 자료의 분석은 요인분석, 일원분산분석, Duncan test를 실시하였다. 인터넷 쇼핑몰 이용자의 소비자집단 유형은 소비자관여와 인터넷 사용능력을 기준으로 네 집단으로 분류하였으며, 쇼핑몰 이용자의 소비자집단에 따른 의류제품 평가기준의 차이를 알아본 결과, 심미적, 품질성능적, 그리고 외재적 기준 모두에서 집단간 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 인터넷 쇼핑몰 소비자집단 유형에 따른 웹 서비스 평가기준의 차이는 신뢰성, 제품관련, 거래 후 만족, 그리고 판촉/정책 기준에서 집단간 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 의류제품 및 웹 서비스 평가기준 모두에서 고관여고능력 집단과 고관여저능력 집단은 동질집단으로서 다른 집단에 비해 두 평가기준 모두를 중요시하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 고관여 소비자들은 인터넷 쇼핑 시 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 위험요소들에 대해 크게 지각하고 있어 평가기준 모두를 중요시하므로, 인터넷 쇼핑몰은 고관여 소비자집단을 만족시킬 수 있는 의류제품을 구비하도록 해야 하며, 그들이 느끼는 위험요소를 찾아 없애는데 주력하여야 할 것이다. 또한 신속 정확한 약속의 이행 등을 통해 쇼핑몰 업체의 이미지를 향상시켜야 할 것이고 거래 후에도 제품의 교환이나 반품 및 환불에 대해서도 끝까지 책임을 짐으로써 고객에게 만족을 주어야 한다.
