Purpose - The number of consumers adopting a lifestyle of health and sustainability has recently increased with the rise of trends in healthy living. The size of the organic agricultural product market has also increased given that these consumers prefer consuming environmentally friendly products that promote family health. However, awareness of organic agricultural products remains insufficient because of the characteristics of the Korean organic agriculture system, which only focuses on food safety inspection. The object of this research is to suggest a policy approach to increase understanding and to expand the purchasing of organic agricultural products by analyzing the influence of customer recognition of such products on their willingness to repurchase. Research design, data, and methodology - This study used binomial logistic regression analysis with the aim of explaining the effects of consumers' socio-demographic characteristics, their awareness of the equivalence arrangement for organic food and of the abolishment of low-pesticide agricultural product certification, and their viewing of negative broadcasts about organic agricultural products on their repurchase intention of such products. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 655 respondents who were in their 20s, lived either in Seoul or in its metropolitan area, and had purchased organic agricultural products. Result - From the results of the analysis, the majority of the respondents recognized organic agricultural products, but they found their prices to be expensive. The majority of the respondents were also aware of the certification system and the reliability of organic agricultural products. However, the results indicate that efforts need to be made to recover consumer trust as many respondents stated that their trust levels in these products were low. In general, those purchasing organic agricultural products were satisfied, but those answering "very satisfied" were not in the majority. Binomial logistic regression analysis results revealed that repurchase intention decreased as consumers viewed a greater number of negative broadcasts about these products. On the other hand, repurchase intention increased as they became more aware of the abolishment of low-pesticide certification. Repurchase intention also increased as income increased, as the number of family members decreased, and when a consumer was a member of a consumer organization. In addition, the older the consumers were who watched the TV programs, the smaller the number of family members that were aware of the abolishment of low-pesticide agricultural product certification and, the higher the income of the consumers aware of organic equivalence arrangement, the greater their repurchase intention. Conclusion - External stimuli, such as negative TV programs on organic agricultural products and the abolishment of the low-pesticide agricultural product certification, relevant social issues and systems, influence consumer repurchase intention. To that end, positive environmental and ecological broadcasting about organic agricultural products would contribute to an increase in purchasing. Additionally, this could be used for promotion and marketing plans as the results indicate that trust in organic agricultural products would cause a positive repurchasing effect.

지역사회 기반 생태관광(CBE)은 적절히 설계된다면 사회 경제적 복지를 증진하고 생태 자원을 유지하기 위한 실질적인 방법이 될 수 있다. 이는 특히 개발도상국의 성장과 발전 측면에서 주목할 만하다. 본 연구는 아프리카 가나의 Boabeng-Fiema 원숭이 보호구역 사례를 통해, 전통적인 지역사회 기반 관리 시스템을 지역사회 참여, 공정성, 포괄성 및 다양한 이해관계자들의 파트너쉽 관점에서 평가한다. 본 연구의 분석을 위해서는 심층인터뷰와 질적 자료를 담고 있는 선행연구 분석 기법이 사용되었다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 다수의 인터뷰 대상자가 전통적인 지역사회 기반 시스템이 성공적이라 평가할 수 있다. 그 이유에 대해서 인터뷰 대상자들은 규범, 문화 및 종교적 관습들을 꼽았다. 또한, CBE를 통해 얻은 생계 수단의 증가는 지역 사회의 수용과 참여를 높였다. 하지만 보호구역은 인구 증가 등의 성공을 낳으면서도 동시에, 토지 부족 등의 문제들 또한 낳은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 홈스테이(homestay) 도입, 공예 산업 개발 등을 통해 생계 수단 다양화를 대안으로 제시한다.

NNbF는 자연 (경관) 자체나 자연 (과정)을 모방한 경관특징을 이용하여 해안이나 하천에서 홍수위험 저감 편익을 기대하고, 동시에 생태계가 주는 공급, 조절, 사회문화 서비스를 공동편익으로 기대하는 방법론이다. NNbF는 우리말로 간단히 '자연·자연기반 특징'이라 쓸 수 있을 것이다. NNbF 이전에 대두된 NbS를 포함하여 Eco-DRR, NI, GI, EwN, BwN 등 유사 개념들은 자연을 직접 이용하거나, 자연과정을 모방하여 인간사회에 편익을 기대한다는 점에서 사실상 서로 크게 다르지 않다. 다만 행위 주체와 목표의 포괄성 면에서, NbS > NNbF > (Eco-DRR, NI/GI)로 정리할 수 있다. NNbF 국제가이드라인에서 하도와 홍수터 관리 범주에서 제시된 총 18개 항목 중 국내하천 여건을 고려하면 천변저류지와 홍수터 복원 (제방 후퇴/철거, 샛강복원 등) 등의 적용성이 높아 보인다. 이 결과는 2022년 별도로 수행된 저자의 다른 연구성과와 일치한다. 특히 현재 시행중인 하천수질 보호를 위한 수변토지 매수정책과 병행하면 그 적용성은 더 높아질 수 있을 것이다.

The current industrial health service is shifting to health improvement business with 1st primary prevention-focused service from secondary and tertiary prevention-focused business, and Oriental medicine can provide such primary prevention-focused service due to the characteristics of its science. In particular, the advanced concept of health improvement can match the science of health care of Oriental medicine. Notably, what is most important in health improvement is our lifestyle, This does not underestimate the socio-environmental factors, which have lessened their importance due to modernism. The approach of Oriental medicine weighs more individuals' lifestyle and health care through self-cultivation. This matches the new model of advanced health business. Oriental medicine is less systemized than Western medicine, but it can provide ample contents that enhance health. If we conceive health-improvement program based on the advantages provided by these two medical systems, this will influence workers to the benefit of their health. Also, health Program needs to define factors that determine individual lives, and to provide information and technologies essential to our lives. The Oriental medicine approach puts more stress on a subject's capabilities than it does on the effect his surrounding environment can have. This needs to be supported theoretically by not only defining the relations between an individual's health state and his lifestyle, but also identifying the degree to which an individual in the industrial work place practices health improvement lifestyle . This is the first step toward initiating health-improvement business . In order to do this, this researcher conducted a survey by taking random samplings from workers, and can draw the following conclusions from it. 1 The sampled group is categorized into', by sender, female 6.6%, and male 93.4%, with males dominant; by marriage status , unmarried 43.9% and married 55.6%, with both similar percentage, and, by age, below 30, 48.4%, between 30 and 39, 27.4%, between 40 and 49, 18.2%, and over 50, 6.0%. The group further is categorized into; by education, middle school or under 1.7%, high school 30.5%, and junior college or higher 65.8% with high school and higher dominant: and by income, below 1.7 million won 24.2%, below 2.4 million won 14.8%, and above 2.4 million 6.3% Still, the group by job is categorized into collegians with 23.9%, office worker with 10.3%, and professionals with 65.8% , and this group does not include workers engaged in production that are needed for this research, but mostly office workers . 2. The subjects selected for this survey show their degree of practicing health-improvement lifestyle at an average of 2.63, health management pattern at 2.64, and health-related awareness at 2.62 The sub-divisions of health-improvement lifestyle show social emotion (2.87), food (2.66). favorite food (2.59), and leisure activities (2.52), in this order for higher points. It further shows health awareness (2.47) and safety awareness (2.40), lower points than those in health management pattern . 3. In the area of using leisure time for health-improvement, males, older people, married, and people with higher income earn higher marks. And, in the area of food management, the older and married earn higher marks . In the area of favorite food management, females, lower-income bracket, and lower-educated show higher degree of practice , while in the area of social emotion management, the older. married, and higher-income bracket show higher marks. In addition, in the area of health awareness, the older, married, and people with higher-income show higher degree of practice. 4. To look at correlation by overall and divisional health-improvement practice degree , this researcher has analyzed the data using Person's correlation coefficient. The lifestyle shows significant correlation with its six sub-divisions, and use of leisure time, food, and health awareness all show significant correlation with their sub-divisions. And. the social emotion and safety awareness show significant correlation with all sub-divisions except favorite food management.
