초록

국내 수목장에 대한 국민의 관심증대와 수목장 확산을 위한 정부 관계기관의 노력에도 불구하고 수목장 선택 비율은 여전히 저조한 실정이다. 따라서 어떠한 요인이 수목장 선택행동에 영향을 미치는 지를 이해하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 Ajzen의 계획행동이론(Theory of Planned Behavior: TPB)을 적용하여 태도(Attitude: ATT), 주관적 규범(Subjective Norm: SN), 지각된 행동통제(Perceived Behavioral Control: PBC) 및 관습(Custom: CUST)과 수목장 선택 의도(Intention: INT)와의 관계를 조사하였다. 2011년 9월중 광주광역시 시민을 대상으로 행정구역별로(동구, 서구, 남구, 북구, 광산구) 비례층화추출법을 이용하여 표본을 선정하였으며 총 412명의 응답이 본 연구를 위해 이용되었다. 구조방정식 모델링 결과, 4개 변수(ATT, SN, PBC, CUST) 모두 수목장 선택의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그 영향력은 SN(${\beta}$=0.459), ATT(${\beta}$=0.247), PBC(${\beta}$=0.152), CUST(${\beta}$=0.102) 순으로 크게 조사되었으며 이들 4개 변수는 수목장 선택의도의 53.0%를 설명하였다. 연구결과에 대한 토의와 수목장 참여의도 및 행동 증진을 위한 몇 가지 방안을 제시하였다.

The selection rate of tree burials (TB) is still low in spite of increasing concerns about TB and government's efforts to increase TB participation. It is necessary to understand the factors affecting TB selection. This study investigated the relationship between major variables (attitude: ATT; subjective norm: SN; perceived behavioral control: PBC) of Ajzen's theory of planned behavior (TPB), additional variable (custom: CUST), and intention to select TB by using structural equation modelling (SEM). Samples were selected from Gwang-ju citizens using proportionate stratified sampling (PST) by region during September of 2011. Four hundred and twelve responses were used for data analysis. The model showed fair goodness of fit. All four variables (ATT, SN, PBC, CUST) influenced intention to select TB. The four variables explained 53.0% of intention to select TB. SN(${\beta}$=0.459) was the most predictive variable on the intention, followed by ATT(${\beta}$=0.247), PBC(${\beta}$=0.152), and CUST(${\beta}$=0.102) in decreasing order. The results were discussed and some suggestions to increase the intention of tree burial selection were made.
