Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve social protection and benefits for pregnant women with the usage of LED care emblem. The study was conducted in the Seoul Metro by two research assistants on January 20th to 30th, 2015. One of subjects wore the LED care emblem and the other was present to record the data. An experiment was carried out total 60 times by wearing LED care emblem in 2 positions ((a) necklace and (b) bag), and 3 usages of Light ((1) Constant light, (2) No light which is like existing care emblem, and (3) blinking light at one-second intervals). Experimental results show there was a significant difference depending on the type of light. Mostly seat offering was the type of light (1) Constant light and it has 8 times (13.4%). The type of light (3) blinking light at one-second intervals has only 2 times (3.4%) seat offering. However, there were no seat offerings at the type of light (2) No light. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in wearing position, time, the number of people in the train and gender. This study suggests that it is necessary to make LED care emblem with constant light in order to induce spontaneous seat offering.

본 연구는 임산부들이 적극적으로 사회적 보호와 배려를 받을 수 있도록 LED를 이용한 임산부 배려 LED 엠블럼(이하 LED 엠블럼)을 개발하여 효과를 검증한 것이다. 조사자는 LED 엠블럼을 착용한 연구원과 그 반응을 확인하는 연구원 2명으로 2015년 1월 20~30일 사이에 서울지하철에서 실시하였다. 실험 방법은 LED 엠블럼을 착용 후 2가지의 다른 착용위치((a)목걸이식 착용 (b)가방 부착)와 LED엠블럼의 빛의 활용 상태는 3가지의 경우로((1)빛을 일정하게 켰을 경우, (2)빛이 없는 경우(일반 임산부 배려 엠블럼과 같은 상태), (3)빛의 밝음 상태가 1초 간격을 두고 서서히 점멸하는 경우)로, 각각 10번씩 총 60번을 실시하였다. 실험결과 빛의 상태에 따라 양보 받음에 대하여 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 가장 많은 양보를 받은 빛의 상태는 (1)빛을 일정하게 켰을 경우로 8번(12.4%)의 양보이며, (3)빛의 점멸상태에서는 2번(3.4%)의 양보가 있었고, (2)빛이 없는 경우에는 전혀 양보를 받지 못하였다. 한편 착용 위치에 대한 유의한 차이는 없었으며 이 밖에 시간대, 혼잡정도, 남녀 성별의 차이에 대하여서도 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구는 LED 엠블럼을 통해 임산부를 위한 좌석양보의 자발적 배려 행동을 유도하기 위해서는 빛을 일정하게 할 필요가 있음을 제안한다.
