Abstract

This study focused on the difference of the volume of sanitory pad issue and The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the characteristics of SNS and the diffusion of issue in the process of crisis issue. SNS is categorized into communication diffusion, communication restriction,, diffusion, restriction base on the media interactivity and the user interactivity, In case of Twitter, media interactivity is low and user interactivity is low. In case of Youtube, media interactivity and user interactivity are all high. Crisiss issue is interactively diffused via Youtube compared to via Twitter. There was a negative public opinion in social media even if the government and the manufacturer said that there was no harm in the sanitary goods. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of social media environment in the diffusion of information. The government prepared for the use of SNS in crisis because there was a negative opinion on the government and the manufacturer via SNS.

이 연구의 목적은 이슈가 SNS를 통해 확산되는데 매체적 특성과 관계가 있는지 네트워크 분석을 통해 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 소셜 미디어를 매체 상호작용성과 이용자 상호작용성을 기준으로 유형화하고, 트위터와 유튜브를 통해 확산되는 이슈의 확산성을 비교했다. 노드엑셀 프로그램을 통해 자료를 수집할 수 있는 트위터와 유튜브를 분석 대상으로 했는데 트위터는 매체 상호작용성과 이용자 상호작용성이 낮은 트위터는 '제한형'으로, 유튜브는 매체 상호작용성과 이용자 상호작용성이 높은 '소통 확산형'으로 분류했다. 제한형에서는 이슈 확산 네트워크가 방사형으로 나타났고, 소통 확산형에서는 거미줄형으로 나타났다. 유튜브에서 의견의 다양성이 높았고, 트위터에서 보다 이슈가 더 활발하게 공유되면서 확산된 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 상호작용성을 기준으로 소셜 미디어의 구조적인 특성에 따라 이슈의 확산 양상에 차이가 있다는 것을 규명했다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다고 하겠다. 이용자들이 얼마나 쉽게 메시지를 공유하고, 댓글을 달면서 상호작용할 수 있는지가 플랫폼으로서 SNS의 활성화에 영향을 미친 것을 밝혔다. 정부와 기업, 소비자들은 이와 같은 트위터와 유튜브의 특성을 파악하고, 커뮤니케이션 채널로서 SNS를 어떻게 활용해야 할지 고려해야 할 것이다.
