| abstract |
| Due to the climate change caused by global warming, Korea`s climate is rapidly changing which also lead to the increase in precipitation accompanied by strong wind. Moreover, heavy metal included in yellow sand and fine dust from China and Mongolia is acting as a big threat to the people`s health. In reaction to the rapid climate change, consumption of protective equipments, like umbrellas or raincoats, is rapidly increasing. These days, people wish even these protective equipments to satisfy them not only in terms of functionality, convenience, and mobility but also as a piece of fashion item. This research conducted a survey on the preference of climate-smart customized fashion products according to age and occupation, in order to create a functional climate-smart customized fashion product combined with a hat accordingly to the result of the survey.
The survey was answered by 1640 people including a wide range of age starting from teens to the sixties. According to the survey, the biggest harms from rain and snow caused by rapid climate change are important possessions becoming wet, damage on quality clothes, harming individual`s health due to fine dust and yellow sand and a lot of parts being wet. Moreover, the survey confirmed the need of a new form of protective equipment because even with an umbrella on there are most rains are accompanied by wind making it difficult to maintain an umbrella on and because it is difficult to keep in storage. Preference for raincoats was low due to reasons such as it being difficult to wear, inconvenience in carrying it around and uneasiness from outside attention. In case of raincoats, preference for poncho style was relatively much higher compared to other designs and regarding the raincoats` mobility, a small wallet-like form was most preferred.
Thus, it was understood that in reaction to rapid climate change, rather than an ordinary raincoat we developed a poncho style product design combined with a hat that could easily be stored in a form of a small wallet from ultra light functionality material. |
