Abstract

Signboard plays a pivotal role in crafting the initial impression of a storefront and contributing to the overall aesthetics of the local environment. Since 2012, the South Korean government has been annually implementing signboard improvement projects as part of its commitment to enhance urban landscapes and invigorate local business districts. Particularly noteworthy in recent years is the government's emphasis on creating signborad that aligns with the characteristics of the cities. This study aimed to investigate the impact on stores and the local area when incorporating local characteristics into signboard, with a focus on the mediating roles of informativeness, entertainment, and irritation. A survey was conducted among 150 undergraduate and graduate students who had experience visiting areas with improved signboard. The findings indicate that local fit of signboards has a positive impact on intention to visit store and area by mediating informativeness and entertainment. On the other hand, irritation does not exert a significant influence within this structural relationship. The results of this study contribute to broadening the scholarly understanding of signboards and signboard improvement, highlighting the importance of incorporating local characteristics into signboard to small business owners and local government practitioners.

간판은 점포의 첫인상과 지역의 전반적인 경관을 형성하는 것에 중추적인 역할을 한다. 우리나라 정부는 도시경관을 쾌적화하고 지역 상권을 활성화하기 위해 2012년부터 매년 간판 개선 사업을 시행하고 있다. 특히 최근에는 지역의 특성과 어울리는 간판을 조성하려는 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이 연구는 사업의 최근 동향을 토대로 간판을 개선할 때 지역의 특성을 반영하는 것이 점포와 지역에 어떤 영향을 주는지를 정보성·오락성·방해성의 매개 역할을 중심으로 밝히고자 했다. 이를 위해 간판 개선 지역에 방문한 경험이 있는 학부생과 대학원생 150명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시했다. 연구 결과, 간판의 지역 적합성은 정보성과 오락성을 매개하여 점포 방문 의도와 지역 방문 의도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이 구조적 관계에서 방해성은 유의한 영향력을 가지지 않았다. 이 연구의 결과는 간판 및 간판 개선에 관한 학술적 이해의 폭을 넓히는 것에 공헌하며, 소상공인과 정부 기관 및 지방자치단체 실무자에게 지역 특성을 반영한 간판의 실효성을 시사한다.
