Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide basic information necessary for the establishment of mobile service marketing strategies, educational service development, and engineering education for Generation Z by analyzing the utilitization of various applications by Gen Z. To this end, 177 essays on mobile service usage experience were collected, major topics were analyzed using topic modeling, and these were visualized through word cloud analysis. As a result of the study, the main topics were related to 'transportation' such as movement and public transportation, 'personal management' such as schedule management, financial management, food management, 'transaction' such as checkout, meeting, purchase, 'leisure' such as eating out, travel, study, culture. Additionally, words such as time, thought, people, life, bus, information, confirmation, payment, KakaoTalk, and so on were found to have a high of frequency of use. Also, there was found to be a difference between topics by college. This study is meaningful in that it collected essays, which are unstructured data, and analyzed them through topic modeling.

본 연구는 이용자 중심 관점에서 Z세대의 애플리케이션 사용의 효용성을 분석하여 Z세대에 대한 이해를 돕고 Z세대를 위한 모바일 서비스 마케팅 전략 수립, 교육서비스 개발, 공학교육 등에 필요한 기초 정보를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 Z세대인 대학생의 애플리케이션 사용경험에 대한 에세이를 177건 수집하였고, 토픽모델링을 활용하여 주요 토픽들을 분석하고, 이를 워드 클라우드 분석을 통해 시각화하였다. 연구 결과 주요 토픽들은 이동, 대중교통 등과 같은 '교통', 일정관리, 금융관리, 음식관리 등과 같은 '개인적 관리', 계산, 모임, 구매, 외식 등과 같은 '거래', 여행, 스터디, 문화 등과 같은 '여가활용' 과 관련된 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 시간, 생각, 사람, 생활, 버스, 정보, 확인, 결제, 카카오톡 등의 용어가 높은 빈도를 보였다. 또한, 단과대학별로 분석한 결과 토픽 간 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구는 비정형데이터인 에세이를 수집하여 애플리케이션 효용성을 토픽모델링을 통해 실증적으로 분석하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
