To preserve scenic-view of Gwanak Mountain from the urban development, the viewshed component ratio and the scenic-view preference are investigated and analyzed by selecting view points at Nangokro. After 16 candidate view points are selected from the site, sight component ratio is measured through visual structure analysis and preference are measured by using the Likert scale. In addition, factor analysis, and regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationship between influencing factors and preference. As a result of the regression analysis of the 9 factors to influence the scenic-view preference, two factors such as degree of natural landscape and degree of arrangement around the site are chosen to influence the scenic-view preference. Through the preference factor analysis, two preference factors are selected as follows; 1) The factor of the landscape formation - Existence and nonexistence of the scenic-view conservation, degree of the landscape opening, and degree of natural landscape, degree of the landscape originality, and degree of the landscape sequence, degree of the landscape intimacy 2) The factor surrounding the landscape - Degree of arrangement around the site, degree of the landscape complexity, and atmosphere around the site.

This study analyzed consumers' online fashion shopping site usage by site type and analyzed how product information search and product purchase differ. In addition, by comparing and analyzing preference and selection factors of PC and mobile shopping, we tried to provide basic data of effective mobile commerce operation strategy according to expansion of mobile market in fashion industry. We surveyed the use of 6 types of online sites (portal site, open market, general shopping mall, social commerce shopping mall, brand shopping mall and non-brand shopping mall) to understand the usage of mobile shopping site for consumers' fashion products. Consumer survey subjects were 373 college students in their early 20s who had the most mobile shopping experiences. The questionnaire consisted of online fashion site usage items, internet and mobile fashion shopping preference (6 items), internet and mobile shopping choice behavior (10 items), and purchase intention (3 items) .Data were analyzed using SPSS 14.0 program. The high preference of portal sites, open market, social commerce, and non-brand shopping malls in shopping online fashion products is a result of the perceptual changes of major distribution channels and the trends of consumers' value consumption tendency. Therefore, it is necessary for fashion companies to actively cope with fashion product distribution competition with huge shopping sites of current online market by well understanding consumers' preference trends and factors of online sites.

This study has evaluated the visual preference factor of Keum river sceneries which could vary according to the change of water level while other scenic environment near by the river did not change. 1) At Gap Cheon site, the variances of the visual preferences for river scenery at different water level are determined as emotional, physical, aesthetic and individual factor. At Mujoo site, the variances of the visual preferences are determined as only two factors such as emotional and physical factors. Those factors show significant relations. All of the visual preferences are increased as the increase of preference factors. Also decreasing of preference factors result in decreasing of visual preferences. 2) In multiple regression model, both the Gap cheon site and Mujoo site show that the increase of emotional factor affect most to visual preference when other conditions are fixed. The physical factor affect less than the emotional factor. At Gap cheon site, the relative importance level which the preference factors contribute to the visual preference appears as the order of emotional, physical, aesthetic and individual factor. Emotional factor's importance level is 4.2 times greater than individual factor. At Mujoo site, the relative importance level which the preference factors contribute to the visual preference appears as the order of emotional and physical factor. The emotional factor's importance level is 1.1 times greater than physical factor. It is clearly indicate that the emotional factor is most important preference factor in both study sites. The factor analysis results of Keum river scenery at different water level using the visual evaluation method affect a lot to the quantification of river instream flow and water level.

The metal specificity of D-xylose isomerase from Streptomyces rubiginosus was examined by site-directed mutagenesis. The activation constants for metal ion ($Mg^{2+},{\;}Mn^{2+},{\;}or{\;}Co^{2+}$) of wild-type and mutant enzymes were determined by titrating the metal ion-free enzyme with $Mg^{2+},{\;}Mn^{2+},{\;}and{\;}Co^{2+}$, respectively. Substitutions of amino acids either on coordinated or around the M2 site (His-22O, Asn-185, Glu-186, and Glu-221) dramatically affected the activation constants as well as activity. A decrease of metal binding affinity was most significant in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$. When compared with the wild-type enzymes, the binding affinity of H220S and Nl85K for Mg^{2+} was decreased by 10-15-fold, while the affinity for $Mn^{2+}{\;}or{\;}Co^{2+}$ only decreased by 3-5-fold. All the mutations close to the M2 site changed their metal preference from $Mg^{2+}{\;}to{\;}Mn^{2+}{\;}or{\;}Co^{2+}$. These altered metal preferences may be caused by a relatively weak binding affinity of $Mg^{2+}$ to the enzyme. Thermal inactivation studies of mutants at the M2 site also support the importance of the M2 site geometry for metal specificity as well as the thermostability of the enzyme. Mutations of other important groups hardly affected the metal preference, although pronounced effects on the kinetic parameters were sometimes observed. This study proposes that the metal specificity of D-xylose isomerase can be altered by the perturbation of the M2 site geometry, and that the different metal preference of Group I and GroupII D-xylose isomerases may be caused by nonconserved amino acid residues around the M2 site.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the planning of adolescents preferred space, and fur the purpose of the study analyzed the spaces made by them in the web site where 3-dimension space manipulating is possible and captured their consciousness of space. The study was to interview 60 adolescents in the web-site by video chatting and observation by video ethnography. The results are as follows. 1) Three-dimension space is where adolescents express their present preference for spaces of residence, leisure and outer activities, and where they reveal their desire to be realized in the future. 2) Adolescents foster friendship in the cyberspace, where they meet friends and enjoy talking and share their desire for space creation which is hardly come true in reality. 3) It is possible to grasp their latent preference of space, and actualization of the cyber preference would give them more satisfaction.

For the competitive advantages of an real estate web-site, the study investigated the comparison between the real estate portal sites and the independent real estate web-site based on the users' preference. The experiment was conducted with 52 participants for the total 5 sites including two real estate portal sites (Naver real estate, Daum real estate), and independent real estate web-site (the real estate 114, the seoul real estate square, the MK estate). As a result, this study becomes very practical to web-site companies in terms of users' preferences, even though most of real estate web-site studies have focused on credibility. Therefore, it is considered to contribute largely for the advancement of real estate sites developing differentiation strategy through comparative analysis between real estate portal sites and independent real estate web-site.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between product characteristics, product preference and purchase intention for Mongolian tourists visiting Korea, and in particular, to analyze the moderating effect of product involvement and tourist image in the relationship between product characteristics and purchase intention. Research design, data, and methodology: A research model was derived through existing literature research and a survey was conducted on Mongolian tourists visiting Korea. SPSS and AMOS24.0 were used for data analysis and hypothesis testing. Results: The tourism product characteristics affect the product preference and purchase intention. Tourist image and involvement have moderating effects between product preference and purchased intention. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that product characteristics at travel destinations is a key factor in order to enhance the product preference and purchase intention for foreigners visiting Korea. On the other hand, since the purchase intention of the tourism destination vary depending on tourist image and involvement, it suggests that travel industry practitioners or researchers should try to various efforts to enhance the factors which affect the involvement or the tourists or image of the tourist site.

As offshore wind farms are developed, the importance of cooperation with stakeholders such as fishermen from the initial phase is gradually increasing. This study developed a methodology that can promote the involvement of fishermen in the site feasibility review process. The spatial scope is Gunsan City, which is establishing an initial offshore wind project strategy. A survey was conducted for representatives of 12 fishing villages on the location preference for offshore wind farms. As a result, fishermen suggested negotiable or absolute opposite locations by examining a local sea map. Location preference seems to depend on the degrees of vitalization of fisheries using vessels. This study shows that fishermen can have reasonable opinions according to the location, not unconditionally, in initial discussions on offshore wind power. Investigating stakeholders with various positions is essential, and adjustments are needed for conflicting points in the future.

This study examined distributional patterns of Asterias amurensis in Tongyeong, the central South Sea of Korea. The density of the sea star was estimated at 10 chosen sites in the inner and the outer parts of the Tongyeong coast from December 2000. The mean density of the species in this area was $2.4ind./m^{2}$. The seasonal surveys conducted at 3 arbitrary chosen sites (i.e., sea cage, reef and soft sediment) also showed that the abundance of the species at the sea cage site $(density:\;3.6\;ind./m^{2};\;biomass:\;250.7\;gwwt/m^{2})$ was significantly higher than at the reef site $(density:\;1.7\;ind./m^{2};\;biomass:\;63.5\;gwwt/m^{2})$ and the soft sediment site $(density:\;0.4\;ind./m^{2};\;biomass:\;18.9\;gwwt/m^{2})$. Densities were higher at sea cages areas than at reefs and soft bottom sites. At sea cage site, A. amurensis population exhibited a strong aggregated distributional pattern. In contrast, at reef and soft bottom sites, A. amurensis population showed a random distributional pattern. The spatial difference in prey species and its abundance was the primary factor determining the spatial heterogeneity of the sea star in its behavior characteristics. Experiments on the feeding preference indicated that A. amurensis had a strong selectivity on its prey, but this selectivity varied between populations living in different sites. In particular, A. amurensis populations at the reef site showed a strong selectivity on various sessile and mobile animals living in reef areas, suggesting that these animal groups may play a role as "windows for the survival of A. amurensis". These results suggest that the distribution of A. amurensis in Tongyeong is closely associated with abundance of prey species and the bottom composition.
