인류는 한 장소를 다른 장소와 구분하기 위해 지명을 사용해왔으며, 지역의 정체성을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 지명이 선택된다는 점에서, 지명은 인간의 집합적인 의식의 산물이다. 또한 지명은 끊임없이 변화하는 역사성을 가지며, 그 변화의 이면에는 사회 집단들의 경쟁과 투쟁 그리고 헤게모니 집단의 정체성을 나타내는 지명을 관철시키기 위한 정치적 의도가 자리하고 있다. 최근의 지리학계의 지명연구는 이러한 정치 사회적 과정에 주목하고 있으며, 본 논문은 이러한 연구경향의 연장선상에서, 1990년대 중반 도농통합적 행정구역 개편 당시 시의 명칭을 둘러싼 논쟁을 정치 지리학적으로 살펴보았다. 통합 당시 시 군 주민들은 지명이 가지는 역사성과 인지도를 내세우며 자신들의 주장을 정당화하였으며, 지역의 경제력이 정치적 자원으로 동원되기도 하였다. 그러나 결과적으로 통합시 명칭의 결정은 주로 인구규모나 기초의회 의원의 숫자 등 정치적 자원의 양으로 결정되었으며, 일부 지역은 시의 명칭을 통합의 협상카드로 사용하기도 하였다. 이는 지명의 결정이 정치적 경합관계의 산물임을 보여주며, 이러한 정치적 논쟁속에서 지명은 시 군의 영역성(territoriality)의 상징이 된다. 시명칭의 결정 이후에도 지명은 지역정치에서 지속적인 논란의 대상이 되며, 이는 향후 행정구역 개편과정에서 갈등을 완화할 수 있는 합리적인 지명 결정의 방법이 고민되어야 한다는 점을 시사한다.

Moreover, English is widely used in the brand names, and they used appropriate symbol graphics that fit the titles and qualities of the brands.

Also, they mainly use applied sans serif typeface showing the softer brand quality. Brand logos have different visual expressions depending on their brand value and the target consumer. The word type of the logos presents clear brand identity and information to the target consumer.

Background: Currently, the over-the-counter (OTC) drug market is flooded with series OTC products. The pharmacist must follow the OTC product's indication, given that the most critical role of a pharmacist is the right selection and recommendation of an OTC drug for a patient's symptoms in a dynamic pharmacy environment. Therefore, pharmacists must know each OTC product information precisely to avoid any ambiguity due to several OTC series brand names. Objective: We evaluated the risk and effectiveness of OTC series medicines. Methods: From December 5 to December 18, 2019, an online survey was conducted among 145 community pharmacists. Results: A total of 51.0% of pharmacists knew the difference between products named in a series and could explain it spontaneously. Only 0.7% of the pharmacists admitted to not knowing the difference between products named in a series. While 42.9% of pharmacists who owned a pharmacy opined that the OTC medicines named in a series have health benefits for patients, 50.0% of employee pharmacists admitted that they were rather confused because there are several OTC series medicines. In contrast, 69.2% of pharmacists who owned pharmacies and 72.2% of employee pharmacists admitted that OTC series drugs with names similar to popular OTC drugs sell better. Conclusion: While pharmacists had different opinions regarding OTC series drugs per employment status, they opined that OTC series are more helpful in pharmacy management than completely new brand names. Further studies in this regard are needed.

A good brand name is very important for the success of a product. A thoughtful brand name can convey information that can influence potential customers in a positive way. Thus marketers often formulate brand names intended to explicitly or implicitly play a role in influencing customer perceptions. One way of doing this is to have a brand name bearing connotations to a foreign country. In general, prior research on country-of-origin effects has not adequately focused on exploring brand name connotation and its effect on product evaluation. This research presents a conceptual framework for determining if/how brand name connotation to a foreign country affects product evaluation. Specifically, this paper reviews relevant literature pertaining to country-of-origin and brand name connotation, discusses a conceptualization, proposes research hypotheses, and outlines procedures for collecting data to evaluate the proposed hypotheses.
