Abstract

The environmental problems caused by food waste have been a steady social issue, and the severity of the problem emerged as the 2013 London Convention banned the marine emissions of waste water. The government implemented measures related to food waste, but prior studies showed that it lacked continuity and lacked strategies for each area of occurrence, and emphasized that citizens' participation is important to implement effective reduction policies. Therefore, this study proposed a food waste disposal machine through user experience analysis as a way to induce civic participation. To this end, the design development direction was outlined in this study after the pre-research and user survey stages through FGI and user journey maps. Based on this, the proposed treatment machine facilitates the frequent discharge of waste and simplifies the process of food waste in the home. In addition, the moment of direct contact between the user and waste is only the point at which the waste is released to the handler, thereby minimizing the negative experience the user has experienced.

음식물류 폐기물이 야기하는 환경오염 문제는 오랫동안 사회적인 문제였으나 2013년 런던협약 가입으로 인해 음·폐수 해양배출이 금지되면서 한층 심각해졌다. 최근 정부의 음식물류 폐기물 관련 종합 대책의 실시는 감량 성과와 자원화에 많은 기여를 하였으나 지속적으로 시행되지 못하였고 폐기물의 발생 분야별로 적절하게 대응하는 전략의 부족이 지적되었다. 많은 연구에서는 효과적인 감량 정책 시행을 위해서 무엇보다 시민의 참여가 중요하다고 강조하고 있다. 이 연구는 사용자 경험 분석을 기초로 음식물류 폐기물 처리기를 디자인하여 시민의 참여를 높이는 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위해 선행연구에 대한 다각적인 조사·분석, 표적 집단 인터뷰 및 사용자 여정지도를 포함한 사용자 경험연구를 통하여 디자인 개발 방향을 설정하였다. 연구 결과로 도출된 처리기는 폐기물의 수시 배출이 용이해지며 가정 내에서 음식물류 폐기물 배출 과정이 간단해진다. 또한 사용자와 폐기물이 직접적으로 접촉하는 순간은 처리기에 배출하는 시점으로 제한하여 사용자가 겪었던 부정적인 경험을 최소화함으로써 폐기물 감량을 위한 사용자의 적극적인 참여를 유도하였다.
