Abstract

The study tested the moderating effect of 215 women living in Busan to analyze the purchase intention (awareness, health interests, environmental interests) of environment-friendly agricultural products and it's the causal relationship between consumer attitudes and purchasing intention. The results confirmed that all purchase factors for environment-friendly agricultural products had significant causality on consumer attitudes. Significant causality of consumer attitudes on purchase intention was also confirmed. The moderating effect of the number of purchases was analyzed to only significantly affect consumer attitudes on purchase intention and consumer attitudes according to number of purchases were analyzed to vary depending on the intensity of purchase. Information presented in this study means that consumers who are aware of environment-friendly agricultural products, interested in health, and interested in protecting the environment exhibit positive attitudes on environment-friendly agricultural products as well as higher purchase intentions. Therefore, if government and local organizations strengthen the promotion of environment-friendly agricultural products, there may be an acceleration of the consumption of environment-friendly agricultural products, followed by an increase in the income of farmers as well as an increase in the number of farmers who cultivate environment-friendly agricultural products. This may ultimately aid in the conservation of the natural environment of Korea and enhance the health and well-being of the public.

본 연구는 친환경농산물에 대한 여성들의 구매의도를 파악하기 위하여 부산에 거주하는 215명의 여성들을 대상으로 구매요인(인지도, 건강관심도, 환경관심도), 소비자태도, 구매의도와의 인과관계를 분석하고, 구매횟수에 따른 구매요인과 소비자태도, 그리고 소비자태도와 구매의도와의 조절효과를 검정하였다. 검정결과, 친환경농산물에 대한 구매요인은 모두 소비자태도에 유의한 인과관계를 확인하였다. 그리고 소비자태도 또한, 구매의도에 유의한 인과관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 구매횟수의 조절효과는 소비자태도가 구매의도에 미치는 영향에서만 유의하게 분석되어 구매횟수에 따른 소비자태도는 구매의도에 강도를 달리하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에 제시된 내용들은 친환경농산물에 대하여 인지하고, 건강에 관심이 있고, 환경보호에 관심을 가지는 소비자들은 친환경농산물에 대한 태도는 긍정적이며, 구매의도 또한 높다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 따라서 정부 및 지역단체에서도 국민들에게 친환경농산물에 대한 홍보를 강화한다면 친환경농산물의 소비는 촉진될 것이고, 이에 따라 농민들의 소득 또한, 증가한다면 친환경농산물을 재배하는 농민들은 늘어날 것이다. 이는 궁극적으로 우리나라 자연환경을 보호하고, 국민들의 건강증진에도 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
