This paper considers whether random sampling always produces more accurate survey results in the case of South Korea. We compare information from the 2010 census to the demographic variables of three public opinion surveys from South Korea: Gallup Korea's Omnibus Survey (Survey A) is conducted every two months by Gallup Korea; the annual Social Survey (Survey B) is conducted by Statistics Korea (KOSTAT); the Korean General Social Survey (KGSS or Survey C) is conducted annually by the Survey Research Center (SRC) at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). Survey A uses quota sampling after randomly selecting the neighborhood and initial addresses; Survey B uses random sampling, but allows replacements in some situations; Survey C uses simple random sampling. Data from more than one year was used for each survey. Our analysis suggests that Survey B is the most representative in most respects, and, in some respects, Survey A may be more representative than Survey C. Data from Survey C was the least stable in terms of representativeness by geographical area and age. Single-person households were underrepresented in both Surveys A and C, but the problem was more severe in Survey A. Four-person households and married persons were both over-represented in Survey A. Less educated people were under-represented in both Survey A and Survey C. There were differences in income level between Survey A and Survey C, but income data was not available for Survey B or the census, so it is difficult to ascertain which survey was more representative in this case.

인터넷 조사에 가중치를 적용하여 그 일반성을 높이고자 하는 시도가 다양하게 이루어졌지만, 안정적으로 적용될 수 있는 방법이 아직까지 개발되지는 않았고 이것이 인터넷 조사의 활용을 제약하고 있다. 인터넷 조사를 위한 가중치 개발에는 준거조사 결과가 필요하지만, 센서스나 정부기관에서 제공되는 통계 중 일부 인구학적 속성을 제외하면 이러한 준거 조사 자료를 구하기 어렵다는 것이 중요 요인이다. 본 연구는 생활시간 조사를 이용해서 가중치를 개발하여 적용할 때, 인터넷 조사의 일반성을 높일 수 있는지를 검토해 보았다. 생활시간 조사는 정부기관에 의해 정기적으로 조사될 뿐만 아니라 센서스와는 달리 라이프스타일에 관련된 다양한 내용을 조사하기 때문이다. 2009년에 실시된 통계청 사회조사의 온라인 버전을 2004년 생활시간 조사결과를 이용해 가중치를 적용한 결과, 2009년에 동일한 설문지를 이용해 실시된 면접원방문 사회조사결과에 보다 일치하는 방향으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 생활시간 조사에서 나타난 취침 시간, 귀가시간, 인터넷 이용시간 등을 이용해서 가중치를 적용했을 때 단지 인구학적 속성만을 이용해서 가중치를 적용하는 경우보다, 온라인 조사결과와 오프라인 조사결과가 보다 근접해지는 경향이 있다는 것이다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 생활시간 조사자료가 인터넷 조사의 가중치 개발에 활용될 수 있다는 점을 보여준다.

The Korean Academic Multimode Open Survey (KAMOS) is a national survey first conducted in 2016. Stratified cluster random sampling was used in an initial face-to-face survey during which panel members were recruited. The second survey allowed invited panel members to answer online or by phone. KAMOS includes both longitudinal items and omnibus items, i.e., researchers can propose questions to include on KAMOS. This paper seeks to establish that KAMOS is representative of the South Korean adult population. The demographic variables from the first survey were comparable to demographic variables from two well-respected surveys in South Korea: the KOSTAT Social Survey and the Gallup Korea Omnibus Survey. To ensure that there was no substantial difference between those who answered the first survey and those who answered the second survey, we compared the results of 22 items from the first survey. The 2,000 panel members who were invited to participate in the second survey had similar responses to the 1,008 of those who responded to the second survey. Based on our findings, KAMOS can be considered a representative sample.

This study describes behavioral characteristics of Korean population over twenty years old in a variety of activities of daily living by analyzing the raw data of the time use survey provided by Statistics Korea (KOSTAT). Seven activities and forty four sub-activities of daily living were selected for analysis : personal care, employment, household care, family care, voluntary work and community participation, social life, recreation and leisure, and travel. In order to quantitatively understand how Korean adults spend their time for a day and how their lifestyle changes over time, we collected the time recorded by 3,673 respondents in three surveys over the past ten years (in 1999, 2004, and 2009). Then, we performed analysis of variance to compare the behavioral characteristics by user age and gender based on the mean time of each activity. The differences in behavior among user groups and over time could be used to design ergonomic products and services based on user experience, especially for universal design of housing and transportation facilities.
