본 연구는 웹사이트 사용성(Web site usability)을 구성하는 주요 요인들을 도출하고, 웹사이트 사용성, 신뢰, 만족 그리고 재구매 의도간의 인과관계를 규명할 수 있는 개념적 모형을 설정하고 이를 실증연구를 통하여 검증하였다. 웹사이트 사용성의 하위 요인으로는 콘텐츠, 이용용이성, 네비게이션, 상호작용성을 선정하였다. 실증분석 결과 웹사이트 사용성은 신뢰, 만족, 재구매 의도 모두에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 신뢰는 만족에, 만족은 재구매 의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 중심으로 본 연구의 학문적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

The Internet marketing of hospital is being considered as a strategic requirement that can satisfy the customers. Therefore, it is very important to understand the effects of the medical information on the Internet on the actual consumers. In this study, the paths through which the attitude and satisfaction of the medical information consumers that visit hospital web site are formed for the medical information through the quality of the medical information on the Internet and usability of hospital web site were examined respectively according to the medical examination and treatment subjects that respectively deal with medical acts and cosmetic acts through light metabolism recovery. The usability of hospital web site, rather than medical information quality, had positive effects on the attitudes toward the medical information distributed in the corresponding web site and the satisfaction of use of hospital web site in the case of visitors of the hospital web site for the medical examination and treatment subjects of essential medical examination and treatment and emergency medical treatment, and, on the other hand, the result of analyzing the path of the medical examination and treatment subjects of cosmetics and functional improvement revealed that the medical information quality had positive effects on the medical information attitudes and the usage satisfaction of hospital web site. Accordingly, the attitudes toward the medical information distributed through the web site by the visitors of hospital web site is formed from the quality of medical information and web site usability, and, ultimately, they become generally satisfied with the hospital web site. Such process is revealed different1y according to the medical examination and treatment subjects for which consumers desire to obtain information.

In this paper, we present an experiment conducted to examine how the web site's architecture, content quantity and the user task complexity affect its usability. The experiment was performed in two phases on college students to visit existing web sites which are readily accessible via the Internet. The results of experiment show that the web site's architecture significantly affects the efficiency and the effectiveness interactively with its content quantity and the user task's complexity. On the other hand, none of the above three factors show significant effects on the satisfaction and the learnability. In particular, the web site's content quantity does not have any statistically significant effects on the satisfaction and the learnability. It implies that the factors affecting the satisfaction and the learnability are different from those affecting the efficiency and the effectiveness. The analysis reassures that it is essential to consider the context of use in designing a web site.

Today many owners of Web sites are looking to user's satisfaction survey as a key means of measuring the usability of a Web site. While it is preferred for it simplicity and ease of use, this survey method is not without potential risks. This paper focuses on showing that the existing practice of questionnaire-based usability measurement is subject to human recall errors, and that such flaws can be reduced when the questionnaire survey is followed by the users hands-on experience of the site. An empirical study was conducted, and the results indicate that the above speculation holds true. Even if respondents felt highly confident about their responses on a recall survey, a hands-on experience with a focal Web site increased the extent to which the respondents were satisfied with the shopping mall site. This indicates that a user's perception of the quality of a Web site may be distorted or lost as time goes by. In addition, the findings have shown that the use of the verbal protocol analysis method can reveal critical information that can help track the root causes of Web site usability problems, thereby helping to develop site enhancement strategies. The paper concludes with directions for future research.

웹 환경에서 사용자는 다른 어떠한 인터페이스 환경에서보다도 더 적극적이고 자유로운 인터랙션을 하고 있으며 따라서 웹 사이트 개발에 있어서 사용자 인터페이스 환경을 고려하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 웹 인터페이스 환경과 그 특징에 대해 살펴보고 현재 활용되고 있는 사용성 평가 기법들을 정리한 후, 이를 기반으로 웹에서의 사용자들의 다양한 반응과 양상을 효과적으로 시각화하고 분석/평가할 수 있는 도구를 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 시각화 도구를 한 인터넷 허브 사이트의 사용성 평가 과정에 적용해 보고 그 결과에 대해 논의함으로써 웹에서의 사용 감성의 시각화와 평가를 위한 실질적인 방법을 제안하고자한다.

본 논문은 멀티미디어 웹 사이트의 사용성 품질 평가를 위한 품질 기준과 웹 메트릭을 제안하고자 한다. 최근 들어 웹 사이트의 활용이 새로운 기술과 접목되어 산업 전반에 결쳐 다양하게 사용되고 있다. 또한 초고속 통신망이 일반화되면서, 그동안 네트워크의 속도 문제로 제한적으로 사용되었던 멀티미디어의 활용이 증가하면서 멀티미디어 웹 사이트가 증가하는 추세이다. 따라서 본 논문은 기존의 소프트웨어 공학, HCI, 하이퍼미디어 분야에서 연구되어온 HTML기반의 품질 평가의 연구를 멀티미디어 웹 사이트로 확장하고, 멀티미디어 웹 사이트에서 큰 비중을 차지하는 플래시 사용성을 접목하여 새로운 웹 메트릭을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 웹 메트릭은 전문가 평가를 통하여 검증을 하였다. 또한 박물관을 도메인으로 하여 웹 어워드 코리아에서 수상한 웹 사이트와 비수상 웹 사이트를 정량적이고 정성적인 품질 평가를 통하여, 운용중인 멀티미디어 웹 사이트의 품질 평가가 가능한 것을 비교 검증하였다. 본 논문으로 향후 고품질의 멀티미디어 웹 사이트 개발의 기반이 될 것이다.

The previous studies regarding the usability evaluation of e-government web sites focused only on deriving affecting factors and variables. They did not find the relationship of usability, user satisfaction and revisiting. The objective of this paper is to find the causal effect how the usability of e-government web sites affect to the user satisfaction and the revisiting attitude. no scope of e-government web sites included the portal site and ie liked web sites. We developed a structural equation model and performed a user test. As a result, a perceived usability affected the revisiting, but it did not intermediate the user satisfaction.

This article describes the process involved in usability testing a agricultural information Web site. In addition to determining the goals and requirements for the agricultural information Web site, a user and task analysis was conducted for defining the its user base and the types of tasks which users might be performing at the site. Usability testing methods with close observation and in-depth interviews provided fresh insights about how users are interacting with the agricultural information Web interface as they approach various information seeking tasks. This study uncovered problems related to unclear terminology, improper interface, location for navigational links, need for context sensitive help, built-in redundancy, and clear and consistent navigation.

The present study employed an experimental usability testing technique to explore cognitive engineering characteristics of WWW. Based on the results of our previous study which employed non-experimental methods such as questionnaire and heuristic evaluation method, this study used a behavioral performance-measurement technique to evaluate the usability of a domestic web-site design. Specifically, we revised the menu and document structure of the original 'Movie-Friend' site to solve the design problems which were extracted from the results of the heuristic evaluation method of our previous study. Exp. 1 compared the relative navigation efficiency of the original frame menu site and the revised pop-up toolbar site, and Exp. 2 compared the toolbar menu site and the revised frame site. As a result of Exp. 1, the revised pop-up toolbar site showed improved navigation efficiency compared to the original site, as indicated by the mean latency and the number of pathways to reach the target page. However, we found no performance difference between the frame site and toolbar site in Exp. 2.
