Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of users' experience of O2O transportation service - focus on the Kakao taxi. As a research method, first case study investigated characteristics of taxi app service in Korea and overseas O2O transportation service. Secondly, we conducted an in - depth interview with eight Kakao taxi users to understand the experience of using the taxi. As a result, we were able to derive two points that needed improvement. Firstly, the imbalance between supply and demand should be improved. Secondly, users should not be disadvantaged by the location disclosure. It is significant that this study suggests ways to improve domestic O2O transportation service through a taxi. It is expected that the follow up study will help improve the domestic O2O transportation service and improve the user experience.

본 연구는 국내외 활발히 이용되고 있는 O2O 운송서비스, 그중 카카오택시를 중심으로 사용자의 서비스 이용 현상에 관해 연구하고, 더 나은 사용 경험을 위한 개선 방안을 제안하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 연구 방법으로 1차 사례 연구를 통해 국내의 택시 앱 서비스와 국외의 O2O 운송서비스의 특징을 조사하였다. 그리고 2차로 카카오택시 이용자 8명을 대상으로 한 심층 인터뷰를 통해 카카오택시 사용 경험을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 개선이 필요한 두 가지 포인트를 도출해낼 수 있었다. 첫째로 공급과 수요의 불균형에 대한 개선, 둘째로 목적지 위치 공개에 따른 이용자가 불이익을 받지 않도록 해야 한다는 것이다. 이 연구는 카카오택시를 통해 국내 O2O 운송서비스의 개선 방안을 제시했다는 점에 의의가 있다. 후속 연구를 통해 국내 O2O 운송서비스의 개선 방안을 보완하고, 경험 개선에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
