The objective of this study is to find the effects of consumer values on eco-friendly buying behavior. This study examines environmental attitudes and involvement as moderating variables to explain eco-friendly buying behavior of consumers. Hypotheses were developed based on Focus Group Interviews, Depth Interviews, and literature reviews. To test such hypotheses, questionnaires were distributed and collected among female adults aged 18 or above, and who are either office workers or housewives. The analysis results show that personal values, sociocultural values, and values related to ecofriendly products affect consumers in their eco-friendly buying behavior. Among those values, concern about safety and health, eco-friendly culture and trend, willingness to pay price premiums and functional effects of eco-friendly products have significant effects on eco-friendly buying behavior. Reflecting these results, business marketers must appeal to consumers with more focus on safety and health, perceived consumer effectiveness, self-monitoring, eco-friendly culture and trend, media exposure, willingness to pay price premiums, design excellence and functional effects, to implement marketing communication strategies accordingly.

본 연구의 목적은 로컬푸드와 친환경식품에 대한 최근 소비자들의 인식과 소비행태에 대한 실증조사를 진행하는 것이다. 서울, 경기지역을 중심으로 로컬푸드와 친환경식품에 대해 들어보거나, 구매해 본 경험이 있는 소비자 266명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였고, 모든 자료의 통계분석은 SPSS(Version 23.0) 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도, 백분율 등의 기술적 통계 값을 산출하였고, 카이스퀘어 검정을 실시하였다. 로컬푸드 구매장소는 대형마트/슈퍼, 로컬푸드매장, 친환경식품 구매장소는 대형마트/슈퍼, 친환경식품 전문샵 순으로 많이 구매하는 것으로 나타났다. 소비자들이 가장 많이 구매하는 로컬 푸드는 과일, 채소 순으로 나타났고, 친환경식품의 경우 채소, 과일의 순서로 많이 구입하는 것으로 나타났다. 로컬푸드를 구매하는 이유 1순위는 "신선하고 품질이 우수할 것 같아서"가 가장 높게 나타났고, 친환경식품을 구매하는 이유 1순위는 "농약이나 첨가제로부터 안전한 것 같아서"가 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 카이스퀘어 검정을 통해 로컬푸드와 친환경식품을 들어보고, 구매해본 경험 모두, 여성이 남성보다, 미혼이 기혼보다, 연령대가 낮아질수록 구매 경험이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 통해 로컬푸드와 친환경식품이 분명히 다른 개념임에도 불구하고, 소비자들의 인식에는 두 식품의 차이를 명확히 구분하지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 소비자 교육을 통해 로컬푸드와 친환경식품에 대한 올바른 정의와 인식을 갖도록 해야 하며, 식품 구매 시 올바른 선택을 할 수 있도록 도와야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 친환경 소비에 대한 MZ세대의 인식과 친환경 기념품에 대한 선호도를 알아보고자 하였다. 업사이클링 제품을 구매하는 이유로는 디자인, 가격, 차별성, 환경보호 등의 순으로 나타나 디자인이 제품 구매에 가장 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있다. 업사이클링 기념품 구매 시에도 디자인을 가장 많이 고려하였다. 환경문제에서는 환경오염의 심각성을 가장 크게 인식하고 있었으며, 패션제품의 재활용이 필요하다고 생각하였다. 친환경적인 패션제품 구매행동에서는 유행하는 옷보다 오래 입을 수 있는 옷을 선택하는 경우가 가장 많았다. 환경이나 친환경상품에 대한 관심이 있을 때 업사이클링 제품에 대한 구매가 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다. 또, 업사이클링 제품 구매 경험이 있을 경우 친환경 패션상품과 패션제품 재활용에 대한 인식이 높고 관심이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 환경문제에 대한 관심과 업사이클링 기념품에 대한 인식은 남성보다 여성이 높았다. 추후 연구에서는 업사이클링 제품, 환경문제, 소비자행동, 업사이클링 기념품 간의 상관성에 관한 연구를 진행해볼 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 청소년의 환경친화적 의복 소비행동에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 파악하여, 환경친화적 의복 구매, 사용, 처분행동을 유도하기 위한 교육적 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년의 환경활동 경험은 보통 이상이며, 환경활동 경험 중 환경문제에 대한 교육을 받은 경험이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 둘째, 환경친화적 가치관 중 환경보전 가치관이 가장 높게, 이타주의 가치관이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 셋째, 의복을 통하여 개성을 추구하고자 하는 욕구가 가장 크고 다음으로 편안함과 가격을 추구했으며, 유행과 브랜드를 추구하는 성향은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 환경친화적 의복 소비의식 중 처분의식은 보통 이상이나 구매의식과 환경문제 인식은 보통 이하로 낮게 나타났다. 특히 의복이 유발하는 환경문제에 대한 인식이 가장 낮은 점을 감안해 의복의 생산과 소비과정에서의 환경오염과 이를 예방할 수 있는 방안에 대한 교육이 필요하다. 다섯째, 환경친화적으로 의복을 소비하는 행동은 전체적으로 낮게 나타났다. 하위요인 중 사용과 처분 행동은 어느 정도 실행되나 구매 행동은 환경친화적으로 이루어지지 못하고 있었다. 이는 그동안의 환경교육이 주로 자원 절약과 재활용 등 사용 및 처분행동에 초점을 맞추어 진행되었기 때문으로 생각되며, 따라서 앞으로는 소비의 시작인 의복의 구매단계에서 환경친화적인 소비행동을 할 수 있도록 교육해야 할 것이다. 여섯째, 청소년의 환경친화적 의복 소비행동에 영향을 미치는 변수 중 가격 추구 성향과 의복 처분의식은 의복 구매 사용 처분의 모든 의복 소비행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The purposes of this study were 1) to classify adult consumers according to their desired clothing benefits on natural-dyed clothes, 2) to identify the differences of life-style among the classified groups, and 3) to determine the interest in Korean traditional culture, interest in dyeing, and demographics among the groups. The survey subjects were 283 adults. The data were analyzed utilizing factor analysis, cluster analysis, $x^2$-test, one-way ANOVA, Duncan test and multiple regression analysis. Based on the 6 dimensions of clothing benefits that were identified by factor analysis, adult consumers were classified into three clusters: eco-friendly oriented group showing the highest scores in environment conservation and comfort in clothing benefits, individuality-oriented group showing the highest scores in individuality and quality, and indifference group showing lower scores in all of the desired clothing benefits. The eco-friendly group showed the highest scores in attitude toward Korean traditional culture, and tended to have the most interest in natural and traditional methods of dyeing. The group members appeared to have passive life-styles, be older and married, and have a higher income than the other groups. The more positive attitude they had in Korean traditional culture, the higher was the purchase intention shown in the eco-friendly group. The individuality-oriented group showed active life-styles. This group tended to be younger than the other group. The more affirmative attitude in Korean traditional culture and the greater interest in the natural dyeing, the higher was the consumers' purchase intention of natural dyeing apparels. The indifference group tended to be younger, unmarried, and have a lower income. This group was not interested in natural dyeing apparels. The study findings demonstrated that consumers with different clothing benefits sought have different buying patterns on natural dyeing apparels. Finally the marketing implications are discussed.

School is an excellent place for children to loam environment-conscious behavior and for teachers to bring up environmental education. School has a plenty of teaching materials such as school building, pond, school forest, waste and school supplies. Especially, the environmental education for and with school supplies can be very effective, as it is mostly the first products for children to learn the buying and consumption in their daily life. In this study we conducted a survey on the environmental attitude of two groups of 5th graders towards environmentally friendly school supplies. The experimental group received environmental education on school supplies and the control group did not. The survey results showed that almost 50% of the children did not consider the environmental impact, but rather the price, design and function when buying the school supplies. However, more than 70% of children were willing to use the recycled school products, implying that they are aware of environmental Issues and want to contribute to the preservation and improvement of the environment. The children recognized paper/notebooks and paints/crayons as the major environmental problems. Writing appliances such as pens, pencils, highlighters and markers were also considered as environmental concerns, since most of them are made of plastics and they are not easily biodegradable nor refillable. We also exemplify a lesson-plan for environmental education program on school supplies and make suggestions to encourage the use of those eco-friendly school materials.

The goal of the study was to see how polymer banknotes affected users' purchasing intention. Variables affecting the properties of polymer banknotes were considered, including security, ease of use, convenience, and durability. To achieve the study's main goal, quantitative methods were used, and a questionnaire was created and posted online through Google Forms to collect primary data. The questionnaire was completed by 403 people, and the data was screened and analyzed using SPSS.The study found that using Polymer money influenced people's behavior, particularly in terms of purchase patterns, decisions, and impulsive behavior toward purchases. This was attributed to the security and simplicity of using Polymer money, which appealed to many people. Furthermore, the study found that people lost their feeling of spending, meaning that using polymer money didn't feel like spending to them, effectively eliminating the moral guilt associated with excessive spending and encouraging more impulsive buying decisions.Based on the findings, the study recommends that a study be conducted to compare the use of Polymer money with tiny and large banknotes to see what kind of difference there is.
