We conducted a field study to investigate the social acceptance of social robots by stores, particularly for attracting passersby, which today's robots can autonomously perform. From interviews with ten store managers, we identified two main reasons they want to employ such social robots in their stores: robots offer cheap labor and provide unique value that humans cannot. They believe that robots are good at attracting the attention of visitors without causing or receiving stress. We also conducted three case studies in which we observed how store managers employed social robots in their stores. Each store manager requested different designs in the preparation phase. After deployment, we found that the managers were generally satisfied with the services autonomously offered by the robots, which successfully encouraged people to stop. For two out of three stores the robots successfully encouraged visitors to visit. The store managers were satisfied with the results and expressed a desire to use the robots again.

The Ulsan fault extends for 50 km along the NNW-SSE direction in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula; this is one of the most important active faults in Korea. Its paleoseismicity has recently attracted considerable attention. With the support of KOSEF (Korean Science and Engineering Foundation), excavation studies of this fault were conducted in 1999 as a part of the Korea-Japan cooperative research at Kalgok-ri in Kyongju city. The results obtained are summarized as follows. (1) The Ulsan fault plane has an eastward dip of approximately 30 degrees and exhibits typical reverse faulting. (2) It was reactivated three times in the past 30,000 years, in particular, twice after the age of AT tephra (approximately 25,000 years BP). (3) A vertical displacement of approximately 0.8 m occurred during the fault event, and the amount of net slip along the fault plane is calculated to be 1.6 m.
