This study attempted to understand the perception and the degree of trust that consumers had in the national agricultural food accreditation system, to inquire into and examine the consumers' perception of traditional food quality certification performed for the protection of excellent traditional food, and to propose the right direction for the policies on the traditional food quality certification system and the plans to improve consumers' perception of the system. According to the results of this survey performed in married women, based on the 'the recognition of accreditation system' and 'the recognition of certification marks' of 'the seventh national agricultural food accreditation system' presently being used by the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the household food purchasers showed high recognition for eco-friendly agricultural product accreditation, processed food KS certification, and organically processed food certification in that order. Meanwhile, it was shown that they indicated low recognition for the traditional food-related accreditation systems such as 'traditional food quality certification' and 'food grand master'. It was found that reliability of the certification mark provided by the agricultural food accreditation system gained 3.54 points (on a 5-point scale), and 68.1% of the study subjects referred to the certification marks while purchasing agricultural foods. And most of them answered to the question of 'why they referred to the certification marks' saying that it was done 'to choose safe food'. The most frequent answer to question of 'the means to recognize the traditional food quality certification system' was 'broadcasting, advertising'. 57.3% of the subjects had a previous experience of buying a product certified by the traditional food quality certification system, and 93.2% of all the subjects had the intention to buy a product certified by the traditional food quality certification system later. And most of them answered that 'strengthening government policies' would be the most ideal way to inform the public of the traditional food quality certification system. According to the results of this study, while 'relying on the traditional food quality certification system in general' was relatively high among the consumers, 'intention to buy quality certified products by visiting a distantly located store' was low; thus, from this analysis, it can be seen that there is a need for diversification of places selling these quality certified products and to establish a distribution network for these products.

The data were collected in late 2003 (from a sample of interviews and surveys from 351 visitors. The data were analyzed using the SPSS computer program. The results were as follows; First, the factors that visitors were considered in purchasing were quality (49.5％), commemorative value (36.9％), and reliability (33.0％). And the top reasons cited for not buying were lack of distinction (45.1％) and high prices (26.6％). The discount rates expected in markets was 16.8％. Second, 49.8％ of visitors has spent over 10,000 won and their purchase pattern has been for themselves and their family. Third, the public organizations for certi(ication for visitors were the National Agricultural Cooperative Fedration (37.9％) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) (22.5％). In conclusion, it was important for local stakeholders to provide more locally-manufactured, seasonal and traditional food, and to plan more locally characteristic events for their fairs. Further recommendations have included having a guide showing pricing and quality standards for products bought at rural fairs, developing product ideas for inducing impulse purchases, active promotion and marketing at event sites, and setting a standard system of warranties on products under the certification of the local authorities and with the financial support of the MAF Such recommendations were aimed at increasing the sale of traditional and regional specialty products at local festivals.

Today, the consumer is more careful in buying goods, invests more time in collecting relevant information to avoid any potential danger, and restricts from potential impulse buying. To react this consumer's carefulness, the seafood brands provide much information including the origin labeling system, the traceability, the food's safety & hygiene. Also the branding by region or company is pursued. Like that, a seafood brand's importance is increased, but there lack few researches dealing how current consumer's attitude influences on real purchase behavior, and how the attitude works consumer purchase decision. Therefore, this study researched the brand's influence on the consumer's attitude and purchase intention. For this purpose, this study targeted the salty mackerel and the dried yellow corvina because they are already branded and sold in some popularity, and researched how a brand's popularity, its image, and its recognized quality could effect on the consumer's attitude and purchase intention. As the result, it was appeared that a seafood brand's popularity didn't directly effect on the consumer's purchase intention, but indirectly influenced through the consumer's attitude as a parameter. From this result, improving a seafood brand's popularity needs some time to form the consumer's positive attitude and to lead to consumer purchase intention of seafood brand. So, it is thought that various promotion activities for seafood consumption must be continually performed rather than some temporary special events. Consumers showed more positive attitude on familiar seafood based on a product's original place and the freshness. Also they had better feeling about some seafood with their speciality images rather than the same kinds of products produced in other regions. This attitude temporarily led to purchase intention. Therefore, it is important that the branding strategy development should start from some seafood familiar to us in traditional food culture and food habit, but should delivery the reliance and the freshness in accurately indicating their origins, and should emphasize their differences as specialities. Consumers showed some positive attitudes on the seafood featuring the hygiene, the safety, continual good quality, and their attitudes led to their purchase intentions in temporary. The seafood product reflecting these results the best is the marketing activities on some Andong salty mackerel products acquired HACCP certification. it is thought that a seafood's branding strategy should be established on distinctive branding strategies using reliable certification mark like HACCP based on the hygiene, the safety, and the quality.

본 연구에서는 한 EU FTA 협상에서 중요이슈가 되고 있는 지적 재산권으로서의 지리적 표시제에 대한 의의 및 보호체계를 검토 연구했다. 지리적 표시는 상품의 품질 등이 지리적 특성과 연계된 지리적 명칭을 지적재산권으로 보호해주는 제도이다. 19C 후반부터 이에 대한 보호노력이 여러형태로 계속되어 오다가 드디어 WTO TRIPS 협정 상에 지적 재산권 보호대상으로 규정되었고, 이에 따라 지리적표시는 양자 규범 복수규범 내지 임의 규범에서 다자 규범 의무 규범으로 발전 된 것이다. 지리적 표시는 이같이 다자규범으로 자리 잡은 후에도 특히 EU를 주도로 하여 DDA 협상에서 계속 확대 개선을 위한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 지리적표시보호에 대한 각국의 체계 및 형태는 유사하나 크게는 EU형과 미국형이 있다. 특히 EU는 지리적 표시가 품질정책 및 공동농업정책의 근간이 되어있고 현재 남부 공업국가의 품목들이 대부분을 점하고 있는 5,000여개의 지리적 표시가 주류 및 가공식품을 중심으로 등록되어 있으며 이에 따라 지리적표시의 국제적 보호규범체계의 정립 및 확대에서 항상 주도적 입장을 유지하고 있다. 우리나라는 1997년 7월부터 농수산 품질관리법에 의한 등록제를 마련했고 2004 7월에는 상표법에 의한 지리적표시 단체장 등록제도를 도입 운영하고 있으며 이에 기초하여 40여개의 품목들이 지리적 표시품목으로 등록되어있다. 한국과 EU 간의 지리적 표시에 관련한 협상에서는 EU 측의 적극적 상호인정 요구가 추진이 예상되고 이에 따라 우리의 대응이나 전략여하가 문제된다. 물론 EU는 그 보호가 발전되어 있고 보호등록이 많으며 그것이 농업정책의 개혁과 고품질 농산물의 화대 정책의 근간을 이루고 있다는 점에서 적극적 상호인정이 쉽지 않다. 그러나 여기서 우리는 장기적 구도로 본다면 지리적 표시 보호의 상호 인정을 회피나 무조건적 거부보다는 긍정적 단계적 측면에서 조심스럽게 접근하되 국제적 규범과 조화하면서도 후속적 관리와 대응에 철저한 이른바 전략적 수용과 대비를 고려할 수 있을 것이다. 특히 우리의 지리적표시제는 우리 농산물만의 특성에 따른 품질 향상과 경쟁력 강화 및 고 부가치 전략 구축에 결정적이고도 중요한 요인이 될 수 있다는 강점도 있다는 점이다. 정부와 농업인의 지혜를 모아 지리적 표시로 등록된 40여개 품목에 대한 지속적 품질개선은 물론 타 농산물 및 식품의 지속적 표시확대 그리고 특성화에로의 개발전략 등으로 EU시장에 과감히 진출할 경우 유럽시장에의 우리의 접근성 창출성이 크게 증폭 될 것이다.
