Abstract

Images have been substantially searched and used due to not only the advanced internet and digital technologies but the characteristics of a younger generation. The purpose of this study aims to discuss the ways on expanding the access points to images by analyzing the needs of users in context of everyday life. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, 105 questions of image seeking in NAVER, which is one of social Q&A services in Korea, were analyzed. For the analysis, a two-dimensional framework with image uses and image attributes were utilized. The findings of this study demonstrate that considerable use purposes on data oriented pole, such as information processing, information dissemination and learning are identified. On the other hand, image attributes from the needs of image show that non-visual aspects including contextual attributes are recognized substantially in addition to the traditional semantic attributes.

세대적 특성과 정보기술의 발달은 이미지의 생산과 이용을 가속화한다. 본 연구는 이미지 이용자의 일상생활 맥락에서 정보요구를 분석하여 이미지 접근점 확장에 관한 논의를 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위하여 소셜 Q&A 서비스인 네이버 지식인에서 이미지를 검색하고자 하는 질문 105건을 추출하였다. 이미지 질문은 이용 목적과 이미지 속성으로 구분한 프레임워크를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과로서 이용 목적은 총 8가지로, 이미지를 데이터로서 이용하고자 하는 목적이 두드러졌으며, 이중에서 '보고그리기'는 기존 연구결과에서 찾아볼 수 없었던 이용 목적으로 새롭게 도출되었다. 이미지 속성에서는 의미, 비시각적, 구성 측면에서 의미와 비시각적 속성이 우세하게 나타났다. 전통적으로 이미지 검색과 접근에서 의미 측면의 속성은 중요하게 인식되어 왔으나, 본 연구의 분석결과에서 보여주는 바와 같이 비시각적 측면 특히, 맥락 요소의 비중은 접근점 제공에 있어서 중요한 시사점으로 볼 수 있다.
