Despite the importance of the needs assessment activities and the necessity of the systematical investigation on the features of the needs assessment in the social service agencies, it has been observed that the recent NA studies have ignored an important study area of NA, the utilization of needs assessment results in social service agencies. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate salient features of the utilization of community needs assessment results, particularly, in the social welfare centers located in Seoul city. A questionnaire was constructed with seven parts, including a dependent variable and 6 independent variables, and 67 questionnaires were collected from 90 agencies during two months. As the result of the descriptive analyses, the five noticeable features were found; (1) the needs assessment results in the agencies was not highly utilized; (2) the attitude on the NA activities was not highly positive because the responders thought that NA activities require too much time from agency staff; (3) agency staff was more actively involved in the NA process than agency directors; (4) the responders thought that quality of NA influences on the utilization of NA; (5) the respondents were confident in carrying out NA although they did not have many opportunities to learn the technical skills of NA research. Multiple regressions were applied to analyze the relationship between independent variables and three kind of dependent variables - conceptual utilization, instrumental utilization, total utilization. The result showed that the conceptual utilization was critically influenced by social workers' confidence on NA, attitude on NA, and directors' involvement in NA. The institutional utilization was influenced by the directors' involvement. The total utilization was influenced by social workers' attitude on NA, confidence on NA, and directors's involvement. Major findings were discussed and several suggestions were made for future research and improvement of the utilization of needs assessment result in social welfare centers.

최근 기초화장품 트렌드로 클린 화장품, 비건 화장품 등이 브랜드별로 새롭게 출시되고 시장내 성장하고 있다. 한동안 화장품의 성분에 대한 관심과 영향이 커지면서 기능성화장품, 코스메슈티컬화장품, 더마화장품들이 신뢰를 얻고 인기가 있던 가운데, 효능 외의 요소를 소구하는 브랜드와 제품에 대한 관심이 커지고 있는 중이다. 본 연구는 이러한 변화에 있어 소비자의 라이프스타일과 소비가치의 상관관계가 영향이 있을 것으로 보고 이를 분석하고자 한다. 또한 ESG가 강조되는 사회 분위기 속에 클린 화장품 또는 비건 화장품의 소비가 일종의 자기표현의 욕구를 충족시켜주는 역할로써의 관계가 있는지도 알아보고자 한다. 따라서 기초 화장품을 사용하는 소비자들을 대상으로 라이프스타일과 자기표현욕구가 비건화장품 구매의도에 미치는 영향 및 소비가치를 매개변수로 하여 라이프스타일과 자기표현욕구와 구매의도 간의 영향을 살펴하고자 한다. 독립변수는 라이프스타일의 하위변수인 외모관리 지향형, 질적건강추구형으로 구분하였고, 자기표현욕구를 사용하였다. 설문조사는 대학생, 직장인, 주부등 20대부터 40대까지 연령층을 대상으로 진행하여 실증분석에 사용할 예정이다. SPSS v22.0을 사용하여 3단계 매개모형을 기반으로 회기분석할 예정이다.
