Abstract

This study applied the Q methodology to analyze the subjective evaluation and recognition patterns of elderly women's clothing preferences. For the type 1, knitted materials and natural materials were preferred, and pastel colors were preferred. The type 2 preferred pants that cover the body shape, look young, and have good simple activity. The type 3 was a type in which the waist was treated with a rubber band, the clothes were comfortable to wear and the loose style was preferred. The type 4 was simple and prefers a style with a raised neck and no fasteners, and a clothes that was comfortable to wear. Type 5 was a type that prefers a style that looks important and colorful and youthful in design or color. In order to develop ZIGTECHnology apparel for older women, it is necessary to develop a design that can look aesthetically beautiful while covering the body shapes such as bending of the back and bending of the waist by reflecting the preferences of the older women. It is considered that it is necessary to develop clothing that takes into consideration movement functionality without obstacles to movements in consideration of changes in behavior and movement of hands.

본 연구에서는 Q방법론을 적용하여 65세 이상 노년 여성을 대상으로 노년 여성의 의복 선호도에 대한 주관적 평가와 인식에 따른 유형별 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 제1유형의 경우 부드러운 니트 소재와 천연소재, 파스텔 색상, 스커트 착용을 선호하였다. 제2유형의 경우 체형을 커버해주고 젊어 보이는 바지를 선호하였다. 제3유형은 착용감이 편안한 의복을 선호하는 유형이다. 제4유형은 단순한 스타일과 착용감이 편안한 옷을 선호하는 유형이다. 제5유형은 디자인이나 색상이 중요하고 젊어 보이는 스타일을 선호하는 유형이다. 노년 여성의 ZIGTECHnology의복 개발을 위해서는 등의 굽음, 허리의 굽음 등의 체형을 커버하면서 아름답게 보일 수 있는 디자인 개발이 필요하고, 움직임에 장애가 없는 동작 기능성을 고려한 의복 개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
