Abstract

It is possible to design a strategy for expanding the applications of GIS by identifying why social science researchers use GIS. This study analyses motivating factors for the researchers to utilize GIS and their satisfying factors towards the result. It is based on survey results which was answered by social science researchers at national research institutes and local governmental research institutes in South Korea in the perspective of merits of applying GIS, level of GIS usability and experienced effectiveness of applying GIS. Analysis result reveals that motivating factors to researchers applying GIS are correlated with efficiency in their research and satisfying factors are correlated to the usability. Then, we induced a fact that motivative factors for applying GIS is not related to the satisfaction of that. It may be a reason which researchers use GIS less applying in social science fields. As a result, it is necessary to connect the motivating and satisfying factors to further expand GIS applications.

만약에 사회과학분야 연구자들이 GIS를 활용하고 만족하는 이유를 안다면, 이를 통해 GIS 활용을 확산시킬 수 있는 전략을 마련할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 사회과학분야 연구자들이 GIS를 활용하는 동기요인은 무엇이고, GIS를 활용해 만족을 느끼는 요인은 무엇인지를 분석한다. 이를 위하여 GIS의 강점과 활용요인 및 만족도를 사회과학분야 국책연구원과 지방연구원의 연구자들을 대상으로 조사하여 분석한다. 연구결과에 따르면 사회과학분야 연구자들이 GIS를 활용하는 동기요인은 효율성이며, 활용결과에 대한 만족요인은 사용성이라는 것이 밝혀졌다. 또한 GIS 활용의 동기요인과 만족요인은 전혀 상관관계가 없다는 것도 밝혀졌다. 이와 같은 현상은 사회과학분야 연구에서 GIS 활용 확산을 저해할 수 있다. GIS의 활용도를 증대시키기 위해서 GIS 활용과 만족요인을 연계시킬 수 있는 방안이 필요하다.
