Abstract

The continuing growth of transportation and communication has resulted in the spread of transportation information interlocked with the Internet. General users are actively seeking web-based transportation information and are trying to apply it into their lives. Now the implementation of user-centered transportation information services are becoming the essential activity for pertinent companies or public institutions. In this paper the author tried to measure the quality of web sites featuring transportation information using the robust measurement tool called WebQual. In addition, the author investigated the relationship between the components of WebQual (usability, information quality, and interactivity) and satisfaction/intention to revisit. According to the results, WebQual had the effectiveness of confirming the service quality for the web sites of transportation information. Also the components of WebQual had positive influences on satisfaction and intention to revisit.

지속적으로 증가하고 있는 교통과 통신의 발달은 인터넷과 결합하여 교통정보의 확산을 가져 왔다. 일반 사용자들 또한 웹 기반 교통정보를 능동적으로 찾아 실생활에 적용하고 있다. 이에 따라 이용자 중심의 교통정보서비스를 제공해 줄 수 있는 웹사이트 구축은 해당 업체나 기관에 있어서 필수적인 업무가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 검증된 측정도구인 WebQual을 이용하여 사용자들에게 필요한 교통정보를 제공해 주는 웹사이트를 선정하여 각 웹사이트의 서비스 품질을 WebQual을 이용하여 평가 및 분석해 보았다. 추가적으로 WebQual의 세부 요소들과 사용자 만족 및 재방문의도와의 관계 또한 알아보았다. 연구결과 교통정보 웹사이트의 서비스 품질을 규명하기 위한 WebQual의 사용은 충분한 효용성을 가지고 있었다. 또한 WebQual의 각 세부요인들은 사용자 만족 및 재방문의도에 모두 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 발견하였다.
