Abstract
This study was conducted to analyze the perception and observance of traditional Korean holidays and preparation of traditional Korean holiday foods among university students in Seoul and the Gyeonggi area in order to further develop modernize and globalize the foods. The analysis revealed that the traditional Korean holidays with the highest perception and observance was Seollal, followed by Chuseok, Jeongwaldaeboreum, Dongji, Dano and Sambok. Traditional Korean festival foods such as Ddukgook, Mandoogook, Sikhye, Injeolmi, Yookgeijang, Kalgooksoo, Songpyon, Galbizzim, Soondubu and Samgyetang also scored high in perception and preparation. Schools were the most frequent route of introduction to Korean traditional festival foods at a rate of 41.6%. Special educational institutions and schools were also high at introduction rates of 38.3% and 19.5% respectively. The results of this study show that traditional Korean festival foods need to be further developed, as the succession of traditional food culture was the highest among 61.4% and 41.3% of the respondents who answered that the 'standardization of flavor, nutrition and cookery' is the most necessary action to popularize seasonal specialty foods.
