ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to introduce an advanced well-being trend called ‘LOHAS consumption trend’ from restaurant customers’ perspective regarding a local restaurant industry. The main purpose of the study is to prove whether ‘LOHAS consumption trend’ realistically affects a primary factor of purchase. The survey was conducted through 400 respondents who have experienced dining out before and 355 faithful responses out of 400 were selected for practical study. It is considered that the result of this study contributes to academic world from two extensive points of view. One is that this study was conducted without any previous studies on ‘LOHAs’, and was performed to arrange ‘the concept of healthy menu’ in the stream. Another one is that this research proved the influence of ‘LOHAs’ on the consumers’ propensity towards healthy dining out, healthy eating behavior and with the tendency of ordering healthy menu. As indicated for the future project, trends towards healthy menus are created by diverse customer’s preferences. Therefore, this study suggests to consider the diverse variables such as taste, price, atmosphere, eating habits, etc. relevant to the selection of healthy menu for the future study. Furthermore, this research mainly focuses on customer’s behavioral aspects by taking an approach based on Wilkie (1994)’s theory from Consumer Information Process (CIP), which limited theoretical frameworks of the study.핵심용어(Key words):로하스(LOHAS), 건강외식지향(건강외식중요도, 건강식생활)
