Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze people's motivations to use the National Petition service of CheongWaDae, the Presidential Office of Korea. The online space has been used as a testbed of deliberative democracy. In fact, a wide variety of public opinions are being formed and gaining sympathy through the E-Petitions and Daum's Agora. In this regard, President Moon's government launched a petition site to gather public opinions. For any petition agreed on by more than 20,000 people within 30 days, the relevant ministry or the President's office must provide answers or feedback. This study wants to figure out how this National Petition is different from previous platforms like Agora or E-Petitions and why it is so well-received by people. This study uses a mix of both qualitative and quantitative methods. First, we conducted a focus group interview to factorize experiences of using the National Petition into measurable constructs. Second, we did a survey o 156 Koreans who had experienced the National Petition. Results show that symbolism, usefulness, gratification, and trust have positive impact on continuous usage intention. This study argues that symbolism, usefulness, gratification, and trust factors should be in place rather than technical aspects in order to increase the actual participation of users on the online platform of deliberative democracy. In addition, this study is meaningful in that it examined how different the CheongWaDae's National Petition is from the existing platforms for collecting public opinions and analyzed factors that encourage continuous use.

본 연구는 국민들의 청와대 국민청원 활용 동인을 분석하는 것에 목적이 있다. 온라인 공간은 숙의민주주의 구현의 실험장으로 활용되어 왔다. 국민 신문고, 다음 아고라 등에서 다양한 여론이 형성되어 실제 국민들의 공감을 얻기도 했다. 문재인 정부 청와대는 국민들의 여론을 수렴하기 위한 방안으로 국민청원 사이트를 개설했다. 30일 동안 20만 명 이상 동의를 얻은 청원에 대해서 부처의 책임자 혹은 청와대 관계자가 직접 답변을 하는 방식으로 운영된다. 본 연구는 청와대 국민청원이 기존 여론 수렴 플랫폼과 어떤 차별성을 가지는지, 왜 국민들이 청와대 국민청원 서비스에 열광하는지 깊이 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 혼합연구 방식을 도입하여 질적, 양적 분석을 수행했다. 먼저 표적 집단 면접을 통해서 청와대 국민청원 이용경험이 있는 사람들을 대상으로 경험을 측정 가능한 구성개념으로 요인화 했다. 그 다음 청와대 국민청원 이용 경험이 있는 우리나라 국민 156명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시했다. 분석결과 상징성, 유용성, 충족성, 신뢰 요인이 국민청원 활용 의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미침을 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 온라인의 숙의민주주의 플랫폼에서 이용자들의 실제 참여를 제고하기 위해서 기술적 측면 보다는 상징성, 유용성, 충족성, 신뢰 요인이 마련될 수 있어야 함을 주장하고자 한다. 더불어서 본 연구는 온라인 숙의민주주의 구현 과정으로 청와대 국민청원이 기존 여론 수렴 플랫폼과 어떠한 차별성이 있는지 살펴보고, 지속 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석했다는 점에서 의의를 가진다고 할 수 있다.
