  • 제품이 가지는 감성적이고 사회적인 기능이 디자이너가 고려해야 할 중요한 요소로 대두되면서, 제품 디자인은 제품 자체를 분석하고 개선한다는 소극적인 관점에서 벗어나 사용자의 제품 사용상황을 이해하고 그 안에서 숨겨진 니즈를 파악하여 새로운 사용상황을 제안하는 적극적인 관점으로 그 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. (중략)

  • On the assumption that the layout of refrigerator for domestic market does not match with the eating habits of the Korean, this study suggests a way of improvement for usability of the refrigerator by re-arranging layout of inner shelves through behavioral analysis with the video ethnography. On the result of analysis, it can be found that the layout of inner shelves of the most refrigerators differs from the habits of cooking and preparing meals of Korean food, so the author propose a new layout to exchange the usage of the 3rd shelf with the vegetable box of the bottom level. It can be effective method to improve the usability by assigning appropriate usage for each shelf. To extract internal design factors of product, which is related to the specific living habits such as a refrigerator, understanding of user behavior must be accomplished at the first stage. The author found that the analysis of user behavior using the video ethnography is useful for this purpose, because it can be used to explore unpredictable design factors from user's real life.

  • In Asia, where the aging population is growing rapidly, as the funeral service industry develops and the market grows. The economic value and interest of funeral services is increasing. However, Korea's funeral services are being developed in a biased direction, focusing only on funeral services, after death. Compared to the case of advanced funeral services in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, not only the funeral but also the care of the deceased's family and acquaintances around us are developing. It is appropriate to use a method based on ethnography and User eXperience. For this purpose, the method of collecting and analyzing the ethnography and user experience data of actual resident and visitor was deduced in persona method in the next ten years, and funeral service centered on resident and visitor. In this study, qualitative data centered on the future direction of funeral services, focusing on the resident (family) and the guest who are the principals of services from the perspective of service science. It is difficult to derive meaningful results from the process of collecting, processing, and interpreting big data in general, and in this case, the data analysis method is based on ethnography and user eXperience.) Is appropriate. For this purpose, the method of collecting and analyzing the ethnography and user experience data of the actual resident and the visitor was deduced in the persona method in detail after 10 years. In addition, the future direction of funeral services centered on residence and visitor was presented.

  • This study is a research that investigated organization of case management practice at a mental health center. For organization research of case management practice, this study applied the research method of Institutional Ethnography, and analyzed 'work knowledge' and 'texts' data which were obtained through field work that lasted 3 months with 11 study participants. The analysis is not interpretation of the researcher, but it is work that assembles 'work knowledge' of field workers until they reach discovering institutions that organize case management practice. As a result of this study, case management practice of the mental health center was being standardized as 'a service that is biased towards symptom management without comprehensive and continual resources links' by new public management theory, bio-medicine discussion, 'standardization policy', 'treatment rate improvement policy', 'performance-based budget system', 'performance evaluation system' and 'continual linkage policy', mediating texts. This is a different outcome from usefulness of case management that is claimed to support politically.

  • 주거환경의 변화는 주거공간을 구성하고 있는 제품을 더 이상 독립된 구조가 아닌 서로 네트워크로 연결된 하나의 제품 및 서비스로 인식될 필요성을 나타내고 있다. 따라서, 제품 및 서비스 컨셉 도출을 위한 사용자 조사 단계에서 사용자의 행위 관찰 시, 관찰의 범위가 기존의 개별 제품을 사용하는 환경 중심에서 전체 제품을 사용하는 환경으로 확장 될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 주거공간에서 제품 사용의 관찰범위를 개별제품사용환경과 전체제품사용환경으로 분류하여 각각의 관찰범위에서의 사용자 행위 분석 데이터가 어떠한 차이를 갖는지 관찰법(Ethnography)을 이용한 사례연구를 통해 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 주거환경을 구성하는 제품 및 서비스 개발 시 목적에 적합한 관찰범위를 선택하는데 있어 도움이 될 것이며, 기반이 되는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • In this study of the documentation process, a toddler's behavior was interpreted through use of text and picture both of which are subjective representations of reality. Two teachers deconstructed and reconstructed their knowledge of a photographed toddler by first referring to scientific theories from a text. They used these theories to analyze markings drawn on paper by the toddler in the photograph. But, the theories from the text were transformed into a new theory in the documentation process of reflecting on the history of markings in different contexts. Thus, the semiotics of pictures and texts changed in addition to change in meanings. This demonstrates the variability of signs, as in the concept of "rhizome" (Deleuze and Guattari, 1999).
