However, while its use and functionality are keep improving more and more, the change of the from of bicycle is very slow.
This study focuses on the most popular normal bike which have the most users among various types of bicycles as its research target. First, the compositions that determine the design of bicycle is deducted by initiating FGI.
And through the Factor Analysis, the design satisfaction evaluating categories were compressed in the representative evaluation factors. This is to enhance the reliability by building up the most efficient survey questions. Design satisfaction survey was initiated with the selected representative factors.
To suggest improvement plan for dissatisfactory results from the satisfaction survey, the images of released products were evaluated using adjectives. And the correlation between them was identified by analyzing and comparing them with favorable product images resulted from the survey. Through those analyzing and comparing, this study identifies how the areas of each other are positioned in the same awareness level and suggests future prospects of the new designs of bicycles which will be released in the market.
