The purpose of this study is to develop home economics educational programs on the theme of 'improving consumer life' for sustainable development. It is a program to enhance the changemaker mindset for responsible production and consumption among the 17 goals of the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). The program was developed 8 that to make solar cookers, make household goods from recycled materials, change maker-practice green life, eco-friendly journal 1, plastic warnings, design alternatives for disposable products, change maker-efforts and eco-friendly journal 2. The developed program was validated 3 times by a group of experts and students. This program has the following features. First, the Home Economics Education(HEE) program under the theme of 'Improving consumer life' for sustainable development are carried out at the stage of change-maker education with project-based process. It can improve students' collaboration skills, self-directed skills, communication skills and problem solving skills. Second, eight programs can increase understanding and interest in sustainable development, and learners are interested in social issues. This program can raise learners who play an active role in solving social problems by increasing their interest and interest in the class, free from the form of passive classes. Third, the HEE programs under the theme of 'Improving consumer life' for sustainable development are meaningful in that they are closely related to students' lives and encourage them to practice in their own lives.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the change in ecological footprint made by the eco-friendly consumer education program, and ultimately, to help the high school students, future consumers, have eco-friendly attitude. This study will be contributed to helping them to understand the importance of the eco-friendly consumption and the seriousness of the environmental problems arising from their bad consumption habit, to get interested in the environmental problems in daily lives, and to reduce the ecological footprint through the eco-friendly habit acquired when young. This study is designed to have 60 high school students experience the eco-friendly consumer education program for 10 months and compare the levels of each ecological footprint though two different Questionnaires in five sections: housing, food, transportation, purchase, and waste. The program used in this research consists of three parts: eco-friendly attitude education for consumers, eco-friendly citizen education for consumers, and eco-friendly resource management education for consumers. The data are analyzed by SPSS Window 10.0 program. The findings are as follows: First. The eco-friendly consumer education is more likely to help the students develop critical thought and eco-friendly attitude, unlike the economy-related consumer education. Second. The level of ecological footprint is significantly decreased in the group with the eco-friendly consumer education program. compared to the group without it. Third. Experiencing the eco-friendly consumer education program helps the students have the positive attitude on ecology and lead an environmentally sustainable consumer life. The results show that eco-friendly consumer education can make a contribution to raising the good citizens who have eco-friendly attitude and behavior, lead sustainable consumer life, and try to reduce the level of ecological footprint.

This study examined how chicken breed affects consumer behavior. The breeds evaluated were a Korean native chicken (KNC) and a commercial broiler (CB). Consumer behavior was measured by evaluating sensory attributes (taste, odor, and texture) and purchase behaviors [satisfaction, purchase intention, and willingness to pay (WTP)]. The sensory evaluation was conducted using healthy Korean consumers (n=100). The chicken was cooked in baeksuk (Korean traditional chicken soup), which is a seasonal summer health food in Korea. The participants evaluated sensory attributes and purchase behaviors between blinded samples of baeksuk (CB) and unblinded samples of baeksuk (KNC). The sensory evaluation involved chicken breasts and legs. The participants considered KNC as having a more umami taste, a chewier and juicer texture, and a less metallic odor than CB. Moreover, when participants were given KNC breed information, they expressed higher satisfaction, purchase intention, and WTP. The results of this study contribute to consumer behavior literature by revealing the effects of breed information on consumer sensory perceptions and purchase behaviors. Furthermore, the findings provide evidence that branding KNC is one way to increase its demand and low market share while contributing to sustainable consumption.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of consumer's ethical consumption consciousness and lifestyle on sustainable fashion. The data was analyzed by reliability analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test, and multiple regression. The major results of this study were as follows. First, three factors of sustainable fashion were identified: eco-friendliness, recycling, and safety. Second, three factors of ethical consumption consciousness were identified: social ethics, environmental ethics, and public ethics. Based on these factors, the subjects were categorized into three clusters (high, middle, and low ethical consumption consciousness group). Third, four factors of life style were identified: pursuit of brand, appearance, cautiousness, and information. Based on these four factors, the subjects were categorized into three clusters (brand/appearance, cautiousness/information, and unconcerned group). Fourth, three factors of ethical consumption consciousness significantly influenced eco-friendliness factor of sustainable fashion. Also, the recycling factor of sustainable fashion was influenced by social ethics, environmental ethics, pursuit of brand, and pursuit of information. The safety factor of sustainable fashion was influenced by environmental ethics, public ethics, and pursuit of information. The results of this study suggest that practical and various environmental education need to be provided to consumers, because high environmental ethical consciousness consumers evaluated sustainable fashion positively. Additionally, accurate information on eco-friendliness, recycling, and safety of clothing products would need to be provided by fashion businesses through various routes, because those with information-pursuing lifestyle were found to have deep interests in sustainable fashion.

본 연구는 중학교 가정과 교과서의 '청소년의 소비 생활' 단원을 지속가능발전교육의 프레임워크(framework)로 분석하여 현재 가정교과의 지속가능발전교육과의 관련성을 살펴보고, 향후 미래지향적 관점으로 지속가능한 삶을 영위할 수 있는 역량을 키울 수 있는 교육과정 구성과 교육내용 선정을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 분석 대상은 12종 2009 개정 교육과정의 가정교과서 중 '청소년의 소비 생활' 단원이다. 분석방법은 Romey의 내용분석법을 사용하여 ESD 내용요소를 심층적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, '청소년의 소비 생활' 단원에서 공통으로 추출된 내용요소들을 지속가능발전교육(ESD)의 분석준거(환경적, 경제적, 사회적 영역)로 분석한 결과 23개의 관련 주제에 따른 하위 내용요소들로 구성되었다. 둘째, 중학교 12종 가정교과서의 '청소년의 소비 생활' 단원 내용요소를 지속가능발전교육(ESD)의 세 영역으로 분석한 결과, 사회적 영역(68%), 경제적 영역(58%), 환경적 영역(40%) 순으로 나타났다. 이는 2009 개정 교육과정에서 제시하고 있는 청소년 소비자의 역할이 주체적인 소비자에 중점을 두었고, 이와 관련된 내용들이 인간의 안전, 소비문화, 사회적 관심, 단체를 조직하고 활동할 권리 등과 상당히 관련이 있다고 볼 수 있다.

본 연구는 소비자의 친환경 농산물에 대한 반응과 친환경 농산물 구입의향에 미치는 영향요인을 체계적으로 규명하기 위해 경험적 통계학적 분석을 시도함으로써 소비 확대와 친환경 농업정책 수립을 위한 시사점을 발견하는데 목적을 두었다. 소비자들의 친환경 농산물에 대한 인식의 정도와 주요 구입처, 친환경 농산물의 단점, 친환경 농산물을 구입하지 않는 이유 등 구입 실태에 대한 것은 설문조사를 통하여 살펴보았고 이를 토대로 친환경 농산물 구입의향에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 살펴보기 위하여 가설을 설정하고 그 가설을 검증하기 위해서 ANOVA분석, 상관분석으로 변수들의 관계를 살펴보았으며, 다중회귀분석을 통하여 가설을 검증하였다. 친환경 농산물에 대한 소비자 성향 분석 결과 친환경 농산물에 대한 구입이 있는 소비자는 전체 응답자의 88.2%였으며, 채소류를 가장 많이 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 구매이유는 건강이나 질병치료를 위해서가 많았으며, 대부분 소비자들이 친환경 농산물의 가격이 높아 구입이 어렵다는 의견도 많았다. 그리고 일반농산물과의 선호도에서는 85.8%가 친환경 농산물에 대해 긍정적으로 생각하고 있었으며, 장래에도 가격이 저렴하고, 재배 유통과정이 확실하면 계속 구입하겠다는 의견이 89.3%로 나타났다. 따라서 친환경 농산물에 대한 소비자 의향에서 나타난 친환경 농산물의 소비 저해 요인을 최소화하고 소비를 확대시키기 위해서는 재배 및 유통 과정을 투명하게 소비자에게 알려 소비자가 신뢰할 수 있도록 철저한 품질인증 관리와 함께 관행재배 농산물이 유사 판매되지 않도록 하며, 잔류 농약으로부터 안전한 건강식품이라는 것을 소비자에게 인식시키는 일이 무엇보다 중요할 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 친환경 농산물 판로를 다양하게 하고, 고소득층이 사는 지역을 대상으로 일반 생필품과 함께 친환경 농산물을 구입할 수 있는 장소를 확대하는 한편, 생산 및 유통 판매 과정에서 발생되는 비용이 절감시켜 지나치게 높은 가격으로 판매되지 않도록 하여 친환경 농산물이 일반 농산물보다 더 비싸게 받아야 하는 이유를 소비자가 납득할 수 있도록 근거를 제시하는 등 소비 확대 노력이 전개되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
