정부(政府)에 의한 공공요금관리(公共料金管理)의 기본적(基本的) 취지(趣旨)는 요금상승(料金上昇)을 억제(抑制)하거나 물가수준(物價水準)의 관리(管理)를 위한 것이 아니라, 시장(市場)의 기능을 대신하여 자원배분(資源配分)의 효율화(效率化)를 도모하고 사회적(社會的) 가치(價値)를 반영하고자 하는 것이다. 미시경제적(微示經濟的) 효과(效果)를 기대하는 정책수단(政策手段)을 거시경제적(巨視經濟的)인 정책목표(政策目標)를 위해 사용하는 것은 생산(生産)과 소비(消費)의 과정에서 자원(資源)의 흐름을 왜곡시켜 경제 전반적인 효율성(效率性)의 저하를 초래하고, 국민경제복지(國民經濟福祉)의 향상(向上)을 저해하게 되는 것이다. 특히 상승억제(上昇抑制) 위주의 관리방식(管理方式)이 공공(公共)서비스의 질(質)을 저하시키고, 공공요금(公共料金)이 공공(公共)서비스의 경제사회적(經濟社會的) 기회비용(機會費用)을 정확히 반영하지 못하게 되는 등의 문제를 초래하고 있는 것이다. 따라서, 공공요금(公共料金)도 시장가격기구(市場價格機構)의 일부로서 본래의 기능인 자원배분(資源配分)의 역할(役割)을 담당하도록 하여야 할 것이다. 장기적(長期的)으로는 소비자물가상승률(消費者物價上昇率)과 공공요금상승률(公共料金上昇率)이 크게 다르지 않은 점에 비추어, 비효율적인 직접통제방식(直接統制方式)을 지양(止揚)하고, 수혜자부담(受惠者負擔)의 원칙과 사업단위별 독립채산제의 원칙 아래 공공요금(公共料金) 관리기구(管理機構)의 분권화(分權化)를 추진하여야 할 것이다. 이를 위해서 각 사업단위별(事業單位別)로 독립규제위원회(獨立規制委員會)를 설치하여 전문적으로 공익(公益)을 대표하도록 하고, 해당 위원회(委員會)에서 상시(常時)로 요금수준(料金水準) 및 구조변경(構造變更)에 대해 검토(檢討) 인가(認可)하는 방식으로 개선되어야 할 것이다. 교통운수요금(交通運輸料金)은 노선별 구역별로 경쟁도(競爭度)와 면허개방도(免許開放度)를 고려하여 점진적으로 자유화(自由化)하되, 면허권자가 지방자치단체장(地方自治團體長)인 경우 사업의 요금은 지방자치단체(地方自治團體)에 일임하여야 할 것이다.

The environment-friendly agricultural product market receives consumers' great interests despite relatively few studies focused on consumers' decision making process of the environment-friendly agricultural products. This paper examines what factors influence on consumers' attitude and buying behavior on the environment-friendly agricultural product. In order to find the relative importance of each factor's influence, this study adopts multiple regression method based on the survey results of 500 people with the systematic random sampling. The results showed that consumers' favorable attitude towards the environment-friendly agricultural product were influenced by taste, freshness, food safety, and positive attitudes toward the environment-friendly agricultural product promotion. In addition, consumers' purchase intention was influenced by taste, food safety, environmental concern, and the promotion. Respondents recommend the environment-friendly agricultural product when they believe that the environment-friendly agricultural product had the values of taste, environmental concern, and promotion. Women are more active in buying and recommending the environment-friendly agricultural product; however, the price was not the statistically meaning factor. This study provides empirical data that was used for marketing and increasing the sales of the environment-friendly agricultural product. Future research was advised to examine more thoroughly on the relationships between the promotion efforts and purchase intention and the occasions when the price becomes the issue in the buying decision of the environment-friendly agricultural product.

We explore each of the three major domestic fishery product markets in South Korea- Frozen Squid, Frozen Hair tail and Dried Anchovy- to assess whether we can find evidence for Law of One Price (LOP) across the five major cities- Seoul, Dae-Jeon, Dae-Gu, Gwang-Ju and Busan. To achieve our aim, we utilize two different types of unit root tests: Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) unit root test. In each of the three fishery product markets, we find evidence in support of LOP among several cities, which confirms that these markets are integrated to a certain extent. In particular, we find stronger evidence of LOP for Dried Anchovy market relative to the other two fishery product markets. Based on our findings, we argue that the Dried Anchovy market exhibits a greater degree of market integration across the five major cities in South Korea compared to the other two fishery product markets. The greater degree of market integration in the Dry Anchovy market is facilitated by its higher substitutability across cities; taken together these findings show that the market for Dried Anchovy in South Korea is more efficient than the markets for Frozen Squid and Frozen Hair tail.

The purpose of this study is to examine how nutritionists, principals and parents evaluated the importance and priorities of different selection factors for food materials suppliers in an attempt to suggest how to ensure the best supplier choice, since the selection of the best supplier was mandatory for the successful TQM of school food services. This study especially aims to develop priority alternatives based on relative rather than absolute assignments on selection of suppliers for school food service materials. To apply AHP, the selection factors of a food materials suppliers were grouped into five categories, which included quality, service, reliability, hygiene and price. And the five categories involved 28 elements. As the result, quality was considered most crucial on the whole, followed by service, reliability, hygiene and price; and food labeling in the category of quality evaluated as that of first priority in the totality evaluation elements.

The purpose of this study was to identify the combinations of factors combinations conferring the highest utility of family restaurants to university students, and establish the relative importance of these factors in terms of their contribution to total utility. 196 of 200 questionnaires were utilized for the analysis. (Eds note: to whom were the questionnaires administered) Frequencies, crosstabs, and the conjoint, max. utility, BTL and Logit models, K-means cluster and one-way ANOVA analysesis, and the Friedman test were the statistical methods used for this study. The findings from this study were as follows: 1) the Pearson's R and Kendall's tau statistics (Eds note: these were not mentioned earlier) show that the model (Eds note: which model is this) fits the data well. 2) it was found that of all the respondents, especially the first and third clusters, regarded both the type of food and the price as very important factors. 3) it was found that all the respondents, especially the third cluster, most preferred a family restaurant (design and simulation) that provided less than 6 fusion and traditional foods. The first cluster most preferred family restaurant (design) that provided over 10 traditional and less than 6 ethnic foods. The second cluster most preferred a family restaurant (design and simulation) that provided over 10 traditional foods. 4) the results of the study have provided some insights into the effective types of family restaurant designs that can be successfully developed by those who manage menu variety, quality and type of food, price, and quality of service to university students dining at family restaurants.

This study compares the relative accuracy and consistency of four split-window land surface temperature (LST) algorithms (Becker and Li, Kerr et ai., Price, Ulivieri et al.) using 24 sets of Terra (Aqua)/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, observed ground grass temperature and air temperature over South Korea. The effective spectral emissivities of two thermal infrared bands have been retrieved by vegetation coverage method using the normalized difference vegetation index. The intercomparison results among the four LST algorithms show that the three algorithms (Becker-Li, Price, and Ulivieri et al.) show very similar performances. The LST estimated by the Becker and Li's algorithm is the highest, whereas that by the Kerr et al.'s algorithm is the lowest without regard to the geographic locations and seasons. The performance of four LST algorithms is significantly better during cold season (night) than warm season (day). And the LST derived from Terra/MODIS is closer to the observed LST than that of Aqua/MODIS. In general, the performances of Becker-Li and Ulivieri et al algorithms are systematically better than the others without regard to the day/night, seasons, and satellites. And the root mean square error and bias of Ulivieri et al. algorithm are consistently less than that of Becker-Li for the four seasons.

When an earthquake occurs, the severity of damage is determined by natural factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the epicenter distance, soil properties, and type of the structures in the affected area, as well as the socio-economic factors such as the population, disaster prevention measures, and economic power of the community. This study evaluated the direct economic loss due to building damage and the community's recovery ability. Building damage was estimated using fragility functions due to the design earthquake by the seismic design code. The usage of the building was determined from the information in the building registrar. Direct economic loss was evaluated using the standard unit price and estimated building damage. The standard unit price was obtained from the Korean Real Estate Board. The community's recovery capacity was calculated using nine indicators selected from regional statistical data. After appropriate normalization and factor analysis, the recovery ability score was calculated through relative evaluation with neighboring cities.

Dental prosthetic restoration shows a big difference of cost per itemized unit depending on the size of dental labs, facility standard, manpower, and performance. Even the same dental labs have distinctive cost according to manufacturing performance, inflation, and the number of workers. However, in apite of such a change of circumstances, it appears to be quite stable in the relative cost per itemized unit unless the manufacturing trend of particular item changes dramatically. Therefore, if the relative number of cost per itemized unit, which is produced by costing, is indicated, we are able to utilize it effectively as a standard wage estimate. If the wage of dental prosthetic restoration is determined on the basis of cost, it is desirable that the relative value of cost and that of wage are identical. But, by means of comparative analysis, since the relative value of wage reveals mostly lower than that of cost depending on an item, it is considered that the wage is not reflecting the cost approproately. Due to the subdivision and the profession of medical technology, the new development of wage items for dental prosthetic restoration is required. This means that the need for the establishment of new wage items should be presented as the general concept of dental prothetic restroation changes and the level of pathologic technology increases. The current wage structure has differences in the degree of difficulty accroding to unit items and in the cost factors. Nevertheless, the differences are not reflected enough to the wage, so there is potential to lower the medical quality through the use of low-proce materials to avoid the increase of cost and the work process which skips a manufacturing step. The new items of dental prosthetic restoration also increases, but the development of proper numerical value system is not supported. Thus, the right proce is set mostly by applying to the wage of a similar item. Since most wages are established by an individual agreement between the dental clinic institute and the dental labs, the propriety of wage level lacks. Therefore, it is urgent to provide and promote the system of a fair work charge by a standard cost which can be applied to all medical institute.

The purposes of this study were (1) to analyze the absolute and relative importance of tourists' choice attributes of restaurants and (2) to compare tourists' choice patterns with the prediction of restaurant operators in the tourism provinces of Gangwon-do, Empirical data for this study were collected from the 77 tourists and 66 restaurants operators. The attributes and attribute levels for the hypothetical profiles were decided from a focus group interview and 15 profiles were selected from fractional factorial designs. The SPSS/WIN 12,0 conjoint procedure was used to calculate the utility scores and simulate the profiles, According to the analysis on the relative importance of tourists' choice attributes of restaurants, food taste was the most important attribute(36.9%), followed by facility cleanliness(28.5%), dishes cleanliness(24.5%), price(19.3%) and service(18.3%). The tourists' ratings of the importance of the individual attributes differed from the ranking of the relative importance of the same attributes as derived from the conjoint analysis. The operators rated dishes cleanliness(27.6%) as also important, followed by food taste(27.7%), in choosing a restaurant Tourists' preference and operators' prediction of hypothetical profiles showed significant difference in L(p < .05), O(p < .01), M(p < .05), and H(p < .01) restaurants. Operators who want to differentiate themselves from their competitors should make decisions based on an increased understanding of tourists' restaurant choice decision process and measure the latent needs of tourists in the tourism provinces.
