The subjects for a survey are visitors to 'Dancing Carnival Festival' in Wonju and Hoengseong and 'Hoengseong Hanu Festival'. The data were collected for 5 weeks from September 6 to October 6. Total 250 questionaries were distributed, and 230 copies were collected. Except 21 copies with unreliable responses, total 209 copies were used for analysis. For analysis methods, the multiple regression analysis was done with the use of SPSS.18.0 program.
