Perception of Korean Traditional Food and Cultural Background of Uzbekistan-Korean

The principal objective of this study was to assess the dimensions and pattern types for the perception of Korean traditional food of Uzbeki-Koreans and to find the determinants of the pattern types, taking food cultural backgrounds into account. Data were collected from 634 Koreans living in Uzbekistan and were factor- and cluster-analyzed. The results revealed three different dimensions and pattern types. Descriptive statistics demonstrated that perceptional pattern types, i.e., tradition recognized patterns, traditional living patterns, traditional modernized patterns, are likely to vary depending on socio-demographic and cultural background of Korean traditional food in Uzbekistan. Similarities and differences in perceptional pattern types are discussed, and implications for food and nutrition specialists and food-marketers are provided.
