The purposes of the study were (1) to seg-ment the female college apparel market based on fashion life style and (2) to develop a pro-file of each segment regard to self-concept, shopping orientation and patronage behavior. The data were collected through questionnaire by random sample of 526 female college students. By cluster analysis of lifestyle factors, three groups were identified, (fashion leaders, fashion followers and fashion aversion) Three groups were then compared through multivariate analysis of variance and chi-square statistics on 10 self-concept variables, 6 shopping statistics on 10 self-concept variables, 6 shopping orientation factors and 1 patronage behavior variable. Significant difference were found among the three groups on all these variables which indi-cate that fashion lifestyle can be a useful base for segmenting female apparel market and these groups are unique in terms of self-con-cept, shopping orientation and patronage behavior.

The purpose of this study is to investigate significant differences of structural knowledges among the groups(high, middle, low) when the 6th grade subjects structured the concepts of the plane figures, triangle and quadrangle, by concept maps, and to analyse the features of concept maps according to hierarchy. For this purpose, the following two research contents were investigated： 1. Investigating significant differences of structural knowledge in the concepts of the plane figures using concept maps among the groups(high, middle, low). 2. Analysing the features of concept maps according to hierarchy. The structural knowledges represented on the concept maps of triangle and quadrangle which were drawn by the subjects were analysed by propositions, hierarchies, and cross-links. Subject-self Reports about how to make the concept maps were used to analyse the features of concept maps according to hierarchy. The conclusions drawn from the results were as fellows： First, there were significant differences among the groups in proposition links. Second, there wasn't my significant difference among the groups in hierarchy. Third, there were significant differences among the groups in cross-links, and Fourth, the results of analysing the concept maps by hierarchy showed that there were differences among the individuals in constructing the knowledges.

From researches on apparel quality, there was no common concept of quality as well as no common dimensions. The purposes of this study were to identify apparel quality concept and to classify the multi-dimensional concept of apparel quality. The research was carried out in theoretical as well as empirical studies. The theoretical study was conducted to find out apparel quality concept and divide apparel quality concept into four dimensions groups. The empirical study followed the theoretical study to confirm the multi-dimensional concept of apparel quality. The empirical study was investigated that the questionnaire was administered to 634 housewives in Seoul, Kwangju, and Busan during the fall of 1996. The data were analysed by LISREL analysis. This study identified that apparel quality was characteristics of consumer's desires for apparel.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to clarify mediating effects of self-concept on mental health of children and adolescents who fell victim to violence. Methods: A survey was conducted on 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from 2 elementary schools and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students from 3 middle schools (n=2,391). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and AMOS. Results: The mean scores of mental health and self-concept in the subjects were 4.5 and 184.9 respectively. The rate of poor mental health in students who had fallen victim to violence was more than twice as high as that in students who had never experienced it. The self-concept of students who experienced violence had a tendency to decline. Violence experience and self-concept accounted for 47.7%(43.0% for boys and 53.4% for girls) of the changes in mental health. The indirect mediating effects of self-concept were significant. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the following is suggested. Schools should offer a self-concept improvement program for students with a distorted self-concept caused by falling victim to violence. It could help such adolescents have a positive self image and improve their mental health.

Medical systems incurred accidents may result in significant damage for human being. Therefore, performing hazard analysis is important for medical system which is to identify hazard for preventing the accidents and minimizing the potential harm. Hazard analysis that is applied medical systems are difficult to apposite selected, because difference of analysis methods and applied development lifecycle is caused by objective of hazard analysis. It is required to select appropriate hazard analysis at concept phase during development lifecycle, owing to basic requirement elicitation to mitigate or prevent hazard based on identified hazard at concept phase. In this paper, hazard analysis methods, PHA and STPA, are compared at concept phase in which both methods have been applied on the medical system. As a result of compared methods, hazard analyst can be selected optimized hazard analysis methods for concept phase of the medical systems.

The pictures of design details, such as collar type, sleeve type, skirt type, and skirt length, and color tone were evaluated by 377 persons in terms of sensibility and emotion. The data were analyzed by SPSS using ANOVA and Factor analysis to find out the most effective types of details on consumer's sensibility and emotion, and the methods were introduced. The most effective type is skirt length on sensibility and emotion of women's dress. The second type is different according to sensibility and emotion. Sensibility and emotion were composed of three concept: contemporary, mature and character. Sleeve type is second determinant to contemporary concept, and color tone is to mature concept, collar type is to character concept. 41 each details of design were positioned into 3D-concept space to connect each detail type and fashion concept of women's dress.

This study is focused on the concept and spatial organization of bifurcation. After discussing the concept of bifurcation used in Borges' literature and Deleuze's Fold philosophy, case examples in contemporary architecture are analysed to comparatively investigate the relationship between the concept and space. In Deleuze's philosophy, bifurcation as well as pleats, inflection are used to form the world of fold that goes to infinity while, in Borges' literature, the structure of bifurcation is the key method to create the labyrinth of time. There are various projects in contemporary architecture based on the Deleuzian concept of bifurcation. Rem Koolhaas's Two Libraries for Jussieu University and UN Studio's Arnhem Central are selected and researched for further comparison study. In Jussieu project, the bifurcating spatial organization is 'intentionally' used to construct the indeterminant space whereas in Arnhem Central, bifurcation can be found in both the ever-bifurcating design process as well as the final spatial organization'unintentionally'generated from the process. This study is concluded with the comparative analysis between the representation and actualization of a concept that are crucially different.
