Abstract

The research topics of the appropriate technology include environment, medical, education, and energy etc. Therefore, having a review on appropriate technology requires huge efforts of specialists from many difference research areas. Social network analysis has been applied to understand the relationships among the components in the network and to provide insights by visualizing the huge network having many components. In this study, the co-authors and their research topics at the international conference on appropriate technology (ICAT) held by Academic Society for Appropriate Technology (ASAT) from 2017 to 2019 were analyzed using the statistical and visualization tools. The networks between co-authors were analyzed using the pretreated data which were collected from ASAT. The annual trend or characteristics of the general information on ICAT were also analyzed.

적정기술연구 분야는 환경, 의료, 교육 및 에너지 등 다양한 주제를 포함하고 있다. 따라서, 한 분야의 연구자가 적정 기술 전체 분야에 대한 연구 동향을 파악하기에는 어려움이 있다. 소셜 네트워크 분석, 즉, 사회 연결망 분석은 네트워크에 어떤 전체적인 연결관계가 있는지를 분석하여 특정 관계망을 보기 쉽게 시각화 하거나 인사이트를 도출할 수 있는 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 소셜 네트워크 분석을 적정기술학회에서 개최한 2017-2019년까지의 적정기술 국제학회 초록집 자료를 이용하여 적정기술 분야의 학술 동향을 파악하고자 하였다. 적정기술학회에서 확보한 자료를 바탕으로 데이터 전처리 과정을 거쳐 공저자 네트워크를 분석하고 그와 관련된 통계적 지표를 해석하였다. 또한, 적정기술학회의 일반 현황 자료를 기반으로 연차별 발표자 및 연구 내용 변화를 분석하고 결과를 도출하였다.
