다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated awareness of side dishes used
traditionally, the position taken by basic side dishes out of side
dishes, and routes of getting the side dishes by conducting surveys
with housewives.
Through research findings of this study, it aims to investigate the
actual status of using side dishes and preferences and to suggest
implications in order to use them as a tool for the menu
development of the side dishes in the future. Analysis results of the
current study are summarized as follows:
For demographic characteristics, in the case of age groups, the
middle aged at the ages of 40-49 were 83 people out of 191 in total
accounting for 43.5%, and in the case of education levels, 114 were
college graduates accounting for 59.7% which is more than majority.
For the percentage of basic side dishes out of side dishes, the
case of 10%-30% displayed the most percentage as 78 people
responded, who accounted for 39.8% of the entire respondents. For
the use of basic side dishes, 150 people responded that they used
them as ordinary side dishes, who accounted 76.5%, which is
absolute majority of the respondents in total. For seasoning of basic
side dishes, 98 people, 50.0% which accounts for half of the whole
respondents responded that they were seasoning moderately, and as
a result of conducting surveys if they used any side dishes shops,
126 people accounting for 64.8% of the total respondents responded
that they were using them.
It was found that 111 people cooking themselves and accounting
for 73.0% which held more than a majority preferred side dishes
boiled down in soy sauce and roasted side dishes.
On the other hand, for the reasons why they purchased side
dishes, purchasers responded, 19 people accounting for 41.3% of the
entire respondents responded that they did that 'because they cook
badly' and 24 people accounting for 54.5% responded that they
bought them once a week as a majority response, and in the case
of purchasing side dishes, respondents of the surveys displayed
relatively even responses in relation to shops where they purchased
them. Places where they purchased them most often are ‘major
retail outlets including department stores’ and 14 people accounting
for 31.8% of the total respondents responded that and next, other
common shops with the concept of private shops were used by 12
people accounting for 27.3%. In addition, 107 people accounting for
56.0% recognized that the use of 'artificial flavor enhancers’ is the
most serious problem.
Concerning demographic analysis results depending on interest in
side dishes, analysis of age groups and interest in side dishes
indicates that cross-tabulation test results are considerably
significant (p<0.001) ones as chi-square value is 36.824. As a
result of examining education levels and interest in side dishes,
chi-square value is 39.449, which indicates that cross-tabulation test
results are considerably significant (p<0.001) ones.
For demographic analysis results depending on routes of getting
side dishes, as a result of analysis of age groups and routes of
getting side dishes, chi-square value is 20.724, which indicates that
cross-tabulation test results are considerably significant (p<0.001)
ones.
For demographic analysis results depending on types of
preferences of side dishes, as a result of examining age groups and
types of side dishes preferred, chi-square value is 42.085, which
indicates that cross-tabulation test results are considerably
significant (p<0.001) ones. As a result of examining education levels
and types of side dishes preferred, chi-square value is 26.828, which
indicates that cross-tabulation test results are considerably
significant (p<0.001) ones. As a result of examining costs of food
expenses for a month (including snacks) and types of side dishes
preferred, chi-square value is 50.651, which indicates that
cross-tabulation test results are considerably significant (p<0.001)
ones.
Demographic analysis results in relation to what should be
improved in side dishes sold in the market had all no significant
differences. As a result of examining age groups and what should
be improved in side dishes sold in the market, chi-square value is
18.290 and there was no statistically significant difference.
This study investigated the actual status and preferences of
housewives' using side dishes, and as a result, following
implications were obtained: It could prepare theoretical grounds
concerning relevant areas by investigating the actual status and
preferences of housewives' using side dishes. In particular, it
allowed access to areas of side dishes sold in the market based on
concepts of them and relevant research.
