This thesis establishes two propositions. Firstly the pivotal aspect of postmodern fem-inism is socio-cultural ambivalence which is reflected in postmodern fashion as androgeny. By tracing postmodern element in fashion it is shown that postmodern cultural logic is operating sometimes in a vague weakened form Secondly the fact is taken into analysis that the postmodern discourse is conveyed in reality by the multinational firms which aims at profit maximisation with incessant change of image. In this process the postmodern message is almost removed of its contents only the outer form retained, The originality of the thesis lies mainly in the approach adopted. It combines cultural and socio-economic factors together as compared to the traditional approach which tends to relate a contemporary aesthetic trend mechaniclly to fashion phenomena.

According to tourism resources in Kyonggi province, tourist behavior was dramatically different in that tourists utilizing natural resources were mainly interested in static tourism activities and sight seeing activities while tourist using socio-cultural resources preferred with dynamic tourism activities and relaxation tourism. Therefore, the objectives of reconstruction should be adjusted depending on types of tourism resources (i.e. natural and socio-cultural resources) or natural intensity as well as the development goal of recreational tourism. In contrast, historic and cultural resources surrounded with natural resources showed higher revisit rate, and was conceived as better touring site than individual resource because of historical people, traditional custom, natural sight seeing, etc. Therefore, it is believed that proper utilization of natural resources will increase revisit rate and create new conception as a famous touring site.

Among the diverse apartment brand TV Ads, KCC Switzen uses a unique advertising strategy. Unlike their competitors, KCC Switzen uses a strategy without fancy rhetoric such as luxury, premium or high-tech to enhance the value of their housing. In order to define the value of contemporary housing this paper analyses the socio-cultural messaging of KCC Switzen's television advertisements using Qualitative content analysis and Floch's Semiotic Square of Consumption Values method. As a result of this analysis, KCC Switzen's advertisements are shown to contain both intrinsic values of housing and cultural humanism by asking ablout the daily lives of real families and their relationships with neighbors. This directly contrasts with the standard advertisements that focus on the investment value of residential housing. The unique KCC Switzen advertising strategies are expected to change the paradigm of residential housing.
