Abstract

Recently, according to the increasingly populated data, many media and organizations focus on big data, data visualization, information visualization and infographics. Domestically, Chosun.com and Hankyoreh online have improved on the data visualization field and internationally, the Guardian, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times are the leading companies on that area. Until now, many people have recognized infographics as a design-oriented product in Korea. However, one of significant data visualization programs, Tableau Public, can visualize data more efficiently. In this paper, Data Visualization Methods Quadrant for Policy Making is defined, and data analysis and producing infographics are executed. As used data, World Bank open source was adopted and using the number of passenger cars per 1,000 people, two analysis results are extracted. First, in high income group, the more GNI per capita, the lesser Slope is represented and in mid income group, the more GNI per capita positively affects to Slope. Second, in the global finance crisis, the car ownership rate was about 1.7 times than the usual state in the global economy. Through the case study, this paper suggests that the direction of producing infographics should be changed from design-oriented to data-oriented. Moreover, the data-oriented infographics should be propagated as means of scientific research and policy making.

최근 디지털 데이터가 폭발적으로 증가함에 따라 빅데이터, 데이터시각화, 정보시각화, 인포그래픽 등에 각종 언론매체 및 기관에서 관심을 기울이고 있다. 국내에서는 조선닷컴, 한겨레 신문 온라인판 등에서 데이터 시각화 및 인포그래픽을 선도적으로 다루고 있으며, 국외에서는 영국의 가디언, 월스트리트저널, 뉴욕타임즈 등에서 데이터 시각화 분야에서 두각을 나타내고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 데이터시각화 분야는 아직까지 디자인적인 측면에 중점을 두고 있다. 그러나 최근 주목받고 있는 데이터시각화 프로그램 중 Tableau Public 프로그램을 이용하면 좀 더 효율적인 인포그래픽을 제작할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Tableau Public을 통해 데이터 분석 및 인포그래픽을 제작하였다. 인포그래픽 제작을 위해 세계은행 데이터가 사용되었으며, 전세계자동차보유율을 분석하여 두 가지 결과가 도출되었다. 첫째, 고소득국가 그룹에서는 1인당 국민총소득이 증가할수록 기울기는 감소추세를 보였고, 중위소득국가에서는 증가추세를 보였다. 둘째, 기준기간에 비해 금융위기 기간에는 1인당 국민총소득 증가율에 따른 전년대비 자동차보유율 증가율이 1.7배 높게 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 Tableau Public을 이용한 데이터 시각화 사례연구를 통해, 기존 디자인 중심의 인포그래픽 제작환경에서, 향후 데이터 중심의 인포그래픽 제작 설계를 활성화시키고자 하였다. 그리고 더 나아가 데이터 중심의 인포그래픽은 과학적 연구, 그리고 정책결정을 위한 도구로써 널리 이용되어야 할 것이다.
