The residential energy consumption is intimately related with lifestyle of consumers. Therefore, this research suggests the mechanism for the effects of consumer lifestyle on consumer behavior. Specifically, the mediators are imposed of cost perception, propensity for environmental protection and energy conservation-conscious. Also, the lifestyle is composed of the over-consumption, life-centric, life-satisfaction, conservation- conscious and conservation-active type. In results, there are positive relationship between the life-satisfaction, conservation-conscious and conservation-active lifestyle and the propensity for environmental protection, cost perception. Both the cost perception and the propensity for environmental protection are positively related with the conservation- conscious. And positive relationship are appeared between the conservation-conscious and the energy conservation behavior.

The research examines individual environmental characteristics, the consciousness energy conservation and behavior level of college students that relate to the experience of taking courses on residential energy use held in college, as well as the influence of experiencing school education in the past. This is to ultimately evaluate the effect of school education on the consciousness of the energy conservation and behavior level of college students at present time, in order to assist in proposing a direction for the school education on residential energy use. The results of the research can be summarized as follows: First, there appeared a gap between the group that has attended courses on residential energy use and the group that has not in terms of their major, school year and the level of consciousness of the need for energy conservation. Second, students that have attended courses on residential energy use in college were reported to have received more training in high school through textbooks and guidance of teachers and have more experience in special education. And third, it appeared that taking courses in residential energy use by college students are influenced by personal factors such as their school year and gender, major, contents of their high school textbooks and the level of consciousness of the need for energy conservation.

This study is analyzing the effects of energy conservation consciousness on Korean energy saving behavior through the mediating effects of energy-related broadcasting media, such as TV. The study is carried out through the survey with structured questionnaire for each factors, using a mediating analysis based on PROCESS Macro proposed by Hayes (2013). The results of the study have been found that people with higher energy conservation consciousness displayed energy saving behavior more frequently and more actively for energy saving behavior as they were more exposed to energy-related broadcasting media. By energy-related broadcasting media the effect of energy public service ad and campaign was the largest at 15.3%, followed by energy news at 12.1%. But energy documentary has no effect on energy saving behavior. Based on the results of this analysis, it is necessary to establish a broadcasting policy that enhances the frequency of energy-related broadcasting media and energy documentary that can induce energy saving behavior. It is also necessary to make efforts to increase the reliability of analysis through empirical data such as electricity bills and fuel cost which show the actual saving level by energy saving behavior.

This study was done to describe health behavior and determine affecting factors in Korean adults, based on the Health Behavior Assessment tool. The subjects were sample of 298 adults from five cities. The instrument for this study were Health Behavior Assessment tool (30 items, 4 scale). Frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, cluster analysis with SPSS program were used to analyze the data. The results of the study are as follows ; 1) The average item score for health behavior was 2.56, the highest score on the subscale was limitation of liking(M=3.16), followed by stress management (M=2.98), nutrition(M=2.82), energy conservation (M=2.67). 2) A significant difference between age, sex, perception of health, and health behavior were found. 3) Pattern of health behavior among Korean adults focused on stress management in order to obtain emotional stability, and balance and harmony in dietary life, and energy conservation. Patterns of health behavior in Korean adults is unique in each individual. Therefore nursing intervention skill for health promotion have to be developed based on the health behavior in each individual.

Estimation of blasting behavior of explosives is prerequisite in the numerical analysis of blasting works. In this study, blasting pressure is estimated by the finite difference method using the Flux-Corrected Transport Algorithm. To formulate the behavior of blasting gas, the mass conservation equation, the moment conservation equation, the energy conservation equation and the ideal gas state equation are used. The simplified species conservation equation is included to simulate the behavior of reacting explosives. To verify the calculation, the Sod's shock tube problem, the strong shock problem and the reacting problem we used. Numerical results show that the shock wave can be captured by means of the FCT algorithm in the reacting and nonreacting states.

Demand-side Management can be defined as'any utility activity aimed at modifying customers' use of energy to produce desired changes in the utility's load shape'. Customers benefit by being able to control energy costs and improve quality of life and become more productive. Utilities benefit from DSM's value as a resource that enhances asset utilization and reduces both fuel costs and environmental emissions. The scope of DSM includes load management through rate schedules and conservation by improving energy effciency and using electricity consumption effectively. This paper study the DSM resource evaluation and customer behavior analysis todesign the DSM Program plan in response to customer needs. We develop basic system dynamics model to analysis the customer behavior based on a survey research. The DSM Program participants in the Hi- efficiency Inverter, Electric motor and efficient lighting applicancies operating by Conservation program 2002 become the survey objects. DSM resource evaluation evaluate firstt the distribution potentialities of each machine and then forecast the degree of diffusion. We apply the system dynamic approach to simulate the dynamic DSM market situation at the domestic beginning. This model will give the energy Planner the opportunity to create different scenarios for DSM program planning. Also it will lead to increased understanding of the dynamic DSM market
