Abstract

This study assesses the consumption of seaweed by Koreans using a survey questionnaire. 1,218 subjects were surveyed. Those individuals were divided into inland and coastal regions. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SAS package (ver 9.1). The results of this study are summarized as follows: Of the survey respondents 46.5% were male and 53.5% were female. Inland and coastal residents were divided nearly equally (50.4% and 49.6% respectively). Overall slightly more respondents reported a dislike of seaweeds (52.8% vs 47.2%) and the major reason for their dislike was the smell. With respect to gender and age preference, more females liked seaweed than males (p<0.01) and individuals over thirty were more favorable when compared to those in their teens and twenties (p<0.001). Coastal area residents liked seaweed significantly more than that of inland residents (p<0.01). Respondents reported eating seaweed at home (50.8%) and at restaurants (28.2%). The cooking methods used for dishes with seaweed included: soup (44.8%), wrapped in seaweed (21.8%), and seasoned dishes (19.4%). The most popular item among processed seaweed products was beverages. 26.5% of respondents were getting their food and nutrition information through television and radio programming. In conclusion, the results of this study provides baseline and useful information for the development of marketing plans for seaweed products.

본 연구는 소비자의 특성에 따른 해조류 소비 실태를 조사하고자 서울, 대전, 광주, 부산, 여수, 속초 등 6개 도시에 거주하는 총 1,218명을 대상으로 자기기입식으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 회수된 설문지는 SAS 통계 패키지를 이용하여 분석하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 47.2%가 해조류를 좋아한다고 답했고, 섭취이유는 건강, 맛 순이었고, 싫어하는 이유는 냄새, 질감, 맛 순이었다. 계절에 상관없이 섭취하는 경우가 가장 많았다. 해조류 이용 장소는 가정, 음식점 순으로 많았고, 조리 이용형태는 국, 쌈, 무침 순으로 많았다. 향후 해조류 구매 의도는 전체의 90.6%가 현재와 유사하거나 더 증가할 것이라고 답했다. 또한 해조류 가공식품 중 가장 많이 구입하는 형태는 음료였고, 해조류 품질 판별법을 잘 안다고 답한 경우는 전체의 5.0%였으며, 식품영양정보는 텔레비전과 라디오(26.5%), 부모님이나 어른(21.2%)에게 얻는다는 응답이 높았다. 그리고 지역별 해조류의 기호는 속초가 가장 높았고, 광주가 가장 낮았다. 향후 해조류의 소비를 더욱 증가시키기 위해서 소비자의 특성을 고려한 해조류 음식 및 가공제품의 개발과 홍보가 필요하다고 생각된다.
