The food service industry has grown larger with changes in the economic and socio-cultural environment. In this saturated food service industry, generation X and MZ are the main consumer forces that demand attention. That is because a generation is the main psychographic factor that reflects personal values and lifestyle based on one's life cycle. From such a perspective, a generation in marketing has been used as a variable to predict a market by supplementing demographic factors. Accordingly, this study classified generations into generation X and generation MZ with the use of the 2019 consumer behavior survey for food by Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) and then investigated the factors influencing group and personal dining-out expenses. The analysis was carried out applying the Tobit model using SPSS and R. The positively influential variables on generation X's personal dining-out expenditure were male, single person, high income and simple lifestyle, whereas housewives, personal ethical consciousness, behavioral ethical consciousness, and safe dietary life were negatively influential variables. The positively influential variables on generation MZ's personal dining-out expenditures were male, dual-income, high education level, corporate and governmental ethical consciousness, while the number of family members and safe dietary life were negatively influential variables.

The objective of this study was to compare the healthy dining out attitude of restaurant diners by self-rated health status. Using healthy dining attitude and behavior questionnaire and a single question describing self-rated health status, the needs and importance of healthy dining out was detected. Mean age of the 182 respondents was 38.9${\pm}$11.37 years old and 37.4% of the respondents answered their mean monthly income was over 6,000,000won showing the subjects belonged in high income diners. The needs of healthy dining measured by five scales and offering healthy menus(3.80), labeling foods about original country(3.79), using environmentally friendly foodstuffs(3.71) and labeling nutrients on menu board(3.62) show higher score than others. A total of 76.4% of the respondents assessed their health status as 'good-rated Health' and 23.6% was 'poor-rated health'. There was no difference in frequency of eating out by self-perception of health status but, the 'poor-rated health' group need more nutrition information in restaurant specially for calorie(p<0.05), cholesterol(p<0.05), fiber(p<0.05), functional nutrients(p<0.001) showing significant differences comparing to 'good-rated health' group. In good-rated health group, selection of Korean cuisine for eating out was more frequent than the poor.

Dining-out behavior is associated not only with socio-demographic characteristics such as gender, education, occupation, residence, and marital status, but also with individual preferences, such as eating-out activities, interests, and opinions. We investigated dining-out behaviors and their associated factors. Announcements by health practioners and the Chief of Dong Office were used to recruit 739 residents (217 males and 522 females) in Chuncheon, Korea. Information on the frequency and reasons for eating out, the standards for meal selection, and the overall satisfaction with restaurants, based on taste, nutrition, amount, price, service, sanitation, and subsidiary facilities of restaurants, was obtained through personal interviews with a structured questionnaire. Among all respondents, 46.3% of subjects ate outside of the home once or twice a month, and 33.8% reported that they ate out only a few times a year, or never. This was much higher than the national average of 52.0% as reported by the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHNS) in 2001. The frequency of eating out differed significantly according to age (p=0.001), family income (p<0.001), residential area (p<0.001), and educational level (p<0.001). The most common reasons for dining out were meetings (46.7%), followed by special celebrations (15.4%), and enjoyment (11.2%). Korean food (55.3%) was the most frequently selected type of meal when eating out, and food was most often selected based on personal preferences (41.4%) and taste (29.8%); only 5.5% and 7.7% of subjects considered nutrition or other factors (e.g., sanitation), respectively. The results showed that the frequency of eating out for Chuncheon residents was much lower than the national average; in addition, eating-out behaviors depended on the residents' socio-demographic and personal characteristics.

본 연구는 한식 소비자들의 외식행동과 한식에 대한 선호도를 연령별로 살펴봄으로써 연령에 따른 소비행동의 차이와 한식에의 선호도를 분석하였다. 연구결과에 대한 요약은 다음과 같다. 1) 연령대별 외식행동의 동기는 아침식사의 경우 전 연령층에서 시간이 없다, 식사준비가 번거롭다, 식사 때이어서 순으로 이었으며, 점심의 외식행동의 동기는 식사 때이어서라는 경우가 가장 높았으며, 40대와 50대에서는 사교적인 목적도 외식의 중요한 동기로 작용하고 있었다. 저녁의 외식행동의 동기는 연령별차이를 가장 많이 나타내었는데 30세 이하와 30대에서는 모임이나 데이트를 위한 사교적인 목적의 응답이 가장 높은 반면, 40대 이상에서는 가족과의 외식을 가장 중요한 동기라고 응답한 비율이 50%이상을 차지하여서 연령이 높을수록 가족을 중심으로 한 외식소비행태를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 가족간의 외식행동은 주 5일제 근무의 확산과 여가시간의 확대로 인한 가족중심의 공동 소비행태의 행동양식이 반영되어진 결과라고 보여 진다. 2) 각 연령대별 끼니의 유형에 따른 외식의 빈도는 전 연령층에서 주 1-2회가 가장 많이 나타났으나, 30대의 외식 빈도가 가장 높아 사회활동과 사교생활이 활발한 연령대의 특징을 잘 반영하였고, 50세 이상에서 가장 낮게 나타나 연령이 높을수록 외식 빈도는 줄어드는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 점심과 저녁 외식은 증가하고 있고 반면 아침외식의 빈도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 특히 30세 이하의 연령층에서는 50%이상이 주1회 이상 아침외식을 하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 3) 외식비 지출은 30대 이하와 30대 연령층에서는 아침과 점심식사보다 저녁식사에 더 높은 비용을 지출하는 경향을 보여주고 있는 한편, 아침과 점심 식사는 타 연령층에 비하여 지출비용의 분포가 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며 40대 이상의 연령층은 점심비용으로 더 많은 지출을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4) 끼니별 한식에 대한 선호도는 아침식사의 경우가 가장 높았으며, 이는 40대와 50대에서 높게 나타났다. 점심 식사로 가장 선호되는 음식은 중식, 일식이었으며 저녁 식사에서 가장 선호되는 메뉴는 전 연령층에서 일식, 분식류 이었으며, 한식에 대한 선택 정도는 전 연령층에서 매우 낮게 나타났다. 5) 각 연령층에서 선호하는 한식에 대한 조사에서는 된장찌개가 전 연령층에서 가장 높은 선호도를 나타내었고, 김치는 40대 이상의 선호도가 30대보다 높게 나타났으며, 흥미롭게도 30세 이하의 선호도는 30대보다 높게 나타났다. 그 외에도 떡과 죽에 대한 선호도는 전 연령층에서 낮게 조사되었다. 장아찌류의 선호도는 전 연령대에서 낮았으며 특히 30세 이하에서 매우 낮게 조사되었다. 한식의 맛에 대한 만족도 조사에서는 연령이 올라갈수록 한식의 맛에 대한 만족도는 낮아지고 있었으나, 한식의 맛에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 양과 가격에 대한 만족도는 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 전반적으로 한식에 대한 선호도는 식사 때와 식사 목적에 따라 연령대 별로 다르게 나타나고 있으나, 선호도는 성별이나 세대에 관계없이 폭 넓은 선호도를 반영하고 있으며, 이는 대학생들을 대상으로 하는 연구 등에서도 나타난바 같다. 주 5일 근무제의 확산과 초 중 고생들의 토요일 휴무와 더불어 여행과 엔터테인먼트산업은 더욱 더 발전을 거듭하고 있으며, 외식은 여행과 여가 활동의 필수적인 요소로써 그 역할을 일조하고 있다. 이와 같은 여가시간의 증가는 독신자들에게는 좀더 많은 여유시간을 가족을 이루고 있는 가족구성원들에게는 가족과의 유대를 강화하는 휴식과 오락의 소비 트렌드를 창출시켰다. 이와 더불어 외식은 식사를 해결하기 위한 단순한 수단에서 벗어나 동기와 동반자에 따라 달라지는 행동 패턴을 나타내고 있으며, 연령과 목적에 따라 세분화되는 분명한 선호도를 나타낸다. 지난 10여 년간 외국으로부터 수입된 다양한 음식과 레스토랑 업태 등은 우리나라의 외식문화 발전과 소비자들의 외식 선택 행동 등에 많은 영향을 끼쳤으며, 서구식의 패스트푸드점이나 패밀리 레스토랑 등이 외식의 주요 업태로서 비쳐지고 있는 것이 사실이다. 그러나 한식은 여전히 세대의 구별 없이 가장 선호되고 있는 음식이며, 소비자들의 높아진 외식문화 인식도와 더불어 형식적인 발전과 내용적인 발전을 꾀하고 있다. 그러므로 연령과 라이프 스타일에 따라 다르게 적용되는 다양한 소비자들의 외식 소비 행동을 분석하여 이해하고, 그들의 선호도에 알맞은 메뉴구성과 마케팅 전략을 구사함은 복합문화 공간으로의 변화를 꾀하고 있는 미래 한국 외식산업의 중요한 전제 조건이 될 것으로 기대 한다.
