In order to revitalize tourism, there are frequent attempts to introduce amphibious ships in the Republic of Korea. Overseas, amphibious ships are commercialized in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Canada, etc. Safety cannot be verified in the Republic of Korea due to insufficient systems related to the inspection of amphibious ships. Therefore, in order to secure the safety of amphibious ships, this study presented standards for safe operation through investigations of domestic and foreign amphibious ships operating status and system status, and analysis of accidents related to domestic and foreign amphibious ships. This study proposed the provincial sea area, weather conditions, stability criteria, acquisition system of the number of boarding people, location of water ingress, and inspection period; however, a quantitative review of these criteria is suggested as a future research direction. If the amphibious ship safety implementations are achieved and can be commercialized through this study and further research, it is expected to vitalize the local economy by attracting tourists.

This study aims to improve management performance through measures to revitalize the domestic male Brazilian waxing industry by investigating how customer preferences and procedure satisfaction affect revisit intention for male Brazilian sugaring waxing. This study surveyed 300 men in their 30s and 40s who experienced Brazilian waxing more than once at a waxing shop located in Chungbuk and the metropolitan area. Preference was classified using five sub-factors: ease of use, facility, resulting quality, employee response, and price policy, and procedure satisfaction was classified using four sub-factors: performance factor, economic factor, physical factor, and social psychological factor. Among the nine factors, economic factors and physical factors did not correlate with revisit intention, so the influence of the remaining seven factors was measured, and the results of the study are as follows. First, the research hypothesis was partially adopted that the preference for male Brazilian sugaring waxing would not affect the revisit intention. Among the sub-factors of preference, it was found that price policy and resulting quality had a positive effect on revisit intention, and convenience of use, facilities, and employee response did not significantly affect revisit intention. Second, a research hypothesis was also partially adopted that the satisfaction of the procedure for male Brazilian sugaring waxing would not affect the revisit intention. Among the sub-factors of procedure satisfaction, only performance factor was found to have a positive effect on revisit intention. This study found that the resulting quality, price policy, and performance factors closely influenced the revisit intention of male Brazilian sugaring waxing shops. Therefore, this study suggests that the preference for male Brazilian sugaring waxing and the satisfaction with the procedure should be studied in more detail to increase the revisit intention.
