As Marriage Emigrant Families are expanding in quantity, systematic family programs for their various problems are necessary. This study aims to survey the states of Marriage Emigrant Families in Gyeongju and analyze the efficiency of the family programs for them. For the purpose, this study has surveyed the satisfaction for the programs and compared the self-esteem before the program with that after the program. As a result of the investigation for the program toward 10 families, most of them were satisfied with the contents of it and appraised it in the point of educational effects and appreciation of their families. Especially, in the analysis of self-esteems, the changes of male spouses were revealed. So we can say that educational programs for the multi-cultural family are of use to promote the intimacy among the family and strengthen the family functions. In the result of this study, it is necessary to provide the chances for more multi-cultural families to participate in education programs.

This study aims to forecast the number of foreign visitors, mainly japanese and chinese tourists to Gyeong-ju city until 2013 year, using quantitative method. For this study, three quantitative forecasting models were compared and Winters model was selected as a final research model for forecasting the Gyeong-ju tourists demand. The results of this study show that the number of japanese tourists until 2015 year will decrease slowly, but the number of chinese tourists will increase. Neverthless japanese tourists will still dominate in Gyeong-ju until target year, i.e., 2015 aimed in this study. For this reason regional policymakers must concentrate their efforts on japanese tourists in the short terms. But from viewing the long terms it is necessary to concentrate their efforts on chinese tourists as well because it is predicted that chinese tourists will dominate in regional tourist market in the future.

Korea's traditional markets are now facing a serious crisis because there are a lot of large distribution centers around it. Although merchants who manage traditional markets tried to improve the environment of their markets, those activities have no contributions to their incomes. The reason why they can't make a profit is a lack of business mordernization such as a service for satisfying customers. The purpose of this study is to examine a primary factor of falling sales in Angang traditional market by conducting an extensive survey. Through the results of this study, we identify that merchants and customers are in need of arrangement of stall keepers as well as an extension of convenient facilities even if they satisfy the business mordernization, and indicate the direction Angang traditional market should take in the future.
