Need to make efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to slow global warming is globally recognized and also appealing to the United Nations. The main cause of greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide, and the nation has 23.9 percent of its total emissions in the transportation sector. It was also reported that 61.56 percent of living waste is being recycled, suggesting that environmentally friendly logistics activities should proceed with efforts on goods and services at each stage of distribution. In this study, we conducted a survey of green logistics activities that were environmentally friendly by businesses, divided into management, water/delivery and packaging waste, and identified the status and level of each business sector. As a result, data was collected from 36 manufacturing companies, 28 distribution businesses, and 40 logistics businesses, all of which were 104 companies, and based on the analysis results, a measure for environmentally friendly logistics activities was proposed.

Purpose: In this study, we revealed the influence of customer buying factors in the purchase process of eco-friendly product. Especially, we focused on the information acquisition, alternative evaluation, and after-purchase activity process based on Korea-China customer's survey. Methods: In the information acquisition process, we investigate the channels of information acquisition about eco-friendly product, a reliability of information, and an impediment of acquiring product information. At the stage of alternative evaluation, we extract various causes that affects pre-purchasing process and perform the AHP analysis to identify critical causes. At last, we compare several factors which affects before and after purchasing process. Results: Especially, an average utilization and cognition score of eco-friendly products of Chinese consumers is higher than Korean consumers' score. In addition, critical buying factors of Korean consumers are a product quality, an evaluation of existing users. However, that of Chinese consumers are safety of products and environmental benefits of products. Conclusion: In recent years, as the rapid economic development of China, environment pollutions like heavy smog and yellow dust have been occurred frequently. In that manner, Chinese consumer's environmental consciousness is rapidly increasing; not only try to be active participant in eco-friendly activities, but also eco-friendly purchasing activities. In addition, Chinese consumers recognize eco-friendly products as good products made with advanced technology.

Purpose: As global interest in environmental issues increases, the demand for green products/services is increasing. Companies are establishing eco-friendly policies to meet the changing expectations of customers. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of eco-friendly behavior and third-party certification on trust, satisfaction, and loyalty as well as the mediating role of satisfaction based on SOR and signaling theory. Research design, data and methodology: This study collected data from 501 respondents who visited restaurant and analyzed using measurement model with SPSS 28.0 and SmartPLS 4. Results: First, restaurants' eco-friendly behavior and third-party certification (TPC) positively influenced trust while these did not influence satisfaction. Second, trust positively influenced satisfaction. Third, trust and satisfaction positively influenced loyalty. Fourth, TPC had stronger impact on trust and satisfaction compared to eco-friendly behavior in female group while TPC had stronger impact on trust in male group. Conclusions: This study emphasized the importance of TPC over eco-friendly behavior. Restaurants should maintain pro-environmental behaviors such as reducing single-use items while obtaining TPC such as ISO and LEED certifications to increase customer trust. It also found the importance of trust and satisfaction in securing loyal customers. Restaurants should make efforts to build bonds with customers through authentic marketing such as events that encourage customer participation.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of a healthy dietary life and purchase of environmental-friendly food materials according to a mother's lifestyles of health and sustainability (LOHAS) attitudes. The subjects consisted of 295 mothers. The findings are summarized as follows. The mother's LOHAS attitude index averaged 3.39 points out of 5 points. High LOHAS attitude items were "I participate actively in separating the trash collection" (4.16 points), and "I recycle dresses that I do not wear by taking them to the recycling center" (4.08 points). In contrast, LOHAS attitude items for "I do community service activity on the weekend" (2.57 points), and "I try to serve in the local community" (2.63 points) scored very low. A high LOHAS behavior index occurred for mothers who were "resource saving", whereas "social welfare" scored low. Mother's intention to purchase environmental-friendly food materials averaged 3.61 points. Mother's health dietary life attitude score averaged 3.52 points. When age, monthly income, and the environmental-friendly food materials purchase ratio of the mother was high, the health dietary life performance was high. The LOHAS attitude index of mothers had an impact on the purchase intention of environmental-friendly food materials in resource saving and environmental-friendly oriented propensity groups. The LOHAS attitude index of mothers impacted healthy dietary life in environmental-friendly, family and health oriented propensity groups.

본고는 친환경농산물 생산자들의 시장과 소비자에 대한 인식과 대처 방안을 살펴봄으로써 궁극적으로 생산자 입장에서 본 친환경농산물 매출 신장 및 소비확대를 위한 방안을 도출해내고자 하였다. II장에서는 친환경농산물의 소비실태 및 소비자의 성향을 분석하고 있다. 그리고 이러한 토대 위에서 III장에서는 친환경농산물 생산자의 소비자 대응실태를 실증적으로 분석하고 있다. III장에서는 여러 연구자들에 의해 친환경소비에 결정적인 요소로 지적된 바 있는 친환경농산물 소비자의 신뢰성제고와 소비자의 친환경농산물 접근성에 대한 생산자의 대응 방안을 실증적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 신뢰성 제고를 위한 방안으로 품질인증과 관련된 문제들과 소비자 신뢰형성과 소비자관리 방식을 살펴보았다. 본고 분석 대상 농가들 대다수가 품관원에서 품질인증을 받았고, 그것이 생산자와 소비자 모두에게 품질인증에 대한 신뢰성을 증진시키는 것으로 믿고있었다. 그리고 대상농가들은 '소비자 지향적인 태도를 견지'하고, '서비스개선', '생산 및 품질관리에 철저'를 기하는 등 소비자로부터 신뢰를 얻기 위해 적극적인 노력을 하고 있는 것으로 드러났다. 소비자의 접근성과 관련하여 대상 농가들은 오프라인상에서 신뢰형성을 온라인 상으로 연결시켜 친환경농산물의 소비 확대를 꾀하고 있는 것으로 조사되었으나, 온라인 상에서의 고객관리에 대해서는 상당히 미온적이고, 적극적이지 못한 태도를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 본고의 분석대상 농가들은 소비자들이 친환경농산물의 구입처로 유기농산물전문판매장을 선호한다는 사실을 인식하고 있었으며 그래서 자신의 유기농산물전문판매장을 개설하고자 하는 적극적인 의사를 갖고 있었으며, 동시에 인터넷홈페이지를 통한 농산물의 직거래를 활성화시키려는 의사를 갖고 있었다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 본고의 분석대상 농가들은 친환경농산물의 소비촉진을 위해 개별농가별로는 브랜드화를 가장 유용한 수단으로 간주하고 있었으며, 범국가적인 차원에서의 친환경농산물 홍보지원을 강력하게 원하고 있음이 드러났다.
