초록

코로나19로 인한 온택트 서비스의 발달과 친환경 장례 문화의 사회적 이슈는 온라인 장례라는 새로운 문화의 필요성을 인식하게 하였다. 국내 기관 및 기업에서 온라인 장례 서비스 활성화를 위한 시도가 여러 차례 있었으나, 효과는 미약한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 온라인 장례 플랫폼의 초기 사용자 경험 분석을 통해 사용성의 문제를 파악하고, 온라인 장례 플랫폼의 접근성 및 사용성을 향상할 수 있는 서비스 개발을 제안함에 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사용자 경험(UX), OOBE, FTUE 이론의 문헌 고찰을 통해 온라인 장례 플랫폼의 접근성과 사용성 향상에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하고, 대표적 온라인 장례 앱 '메모리얼'을 연구 대상으로 선정하여 실험을 진행하였다. 초기 사용자 경험을 분석하기 전, 연구 대상인 앱 '메모리얼'의 UX 서비스 특성을 이해하고자 유사 타 서비스와의 IA를 비교 분석하였다. 또한 온라인 장례 플랫폼 사용 경험이 없는 피실험자 10명을 대상으로 Unpack-Setup/Configure-First Use 단계에 해당하는 태스크를 수행하고, 실험 과정을 UX Curve로 표현하여 부정적인 경험이 발생한 지점과 요인을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 주요 문제 요인으로 불필요한 UI 요소, 회원가입 단계에서의 민감한 개인정보 요구, 서비스의 몰입감 부족 등이 있었고, 개선 사항으로는 사용자 간의 감정 공유 및 원활한 소통 촉진을 위한 커뮤니티 기능 강화 등이 있었다. 이러한 인사이트를 반영하여 기존 앱 서비스의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 서비스 개발을 제안하였다. 개발한 프로토타입의 타당성을 검증하고자 서비스 디자인 전문가 3인의 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 최근 부상하고 있는 온라인 장례 서비스의 질적 향상과 활성화에 기여하기 위해 진행되었으며, 온라인 장례 서비스의 현황을 이해하고, 서비스 접근성과 사용성 강화를 위해 필요한 요인을 규명하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다.

The development of online funeral services and social issues of eco-friendly funeral culture have raised awareness of the new need for online funeral culture. There have been several attempts to revitalize online funeral services in domestic institutions and companies, but the effect is weak. The purpose of this study is to propose a design that can improve the accessibility and usability of online memorial services by analyzing the usability problem factors through a First Time User Experience analysis of the online memorial platform. Therefore, in this study, in order to identify the problem factors of the online memorial platform, a literature review on the UX, OOBE, and FTUE theories was conducted. The subject of the study was the app 'Memorial'. Before analyzing the First-Time User-Experience, IA was compared and analyzed with other similar services to understand the characteristics of the UX service of the app 'Memorial', which is the subject of the study. In addition, tasks corresponding to the Unpack-Setup/Configure-First Use stage were performed on 10 subjects who had no experience using the online memorial platform. The experimental process was expressed as the UX Curve to identify factors that caused negative experiences. As a result, the major problem factors included unnecessary UI elements, the need for sensitive personal information at the membership stage, and lack of immersion in the service. The improvements included strengthening community functions to facilitate the sharing of emotions and promote smooth communication between users. We proposed UI/UX service developments that enhanced the app by incorporating these insights. In order to verify the effectiveness, serviceability, and value of the developed prototype, an interview with a expert was conducted. The interviewes consisted of three service design experts. This study was conducted to contribute to the quality improvement and activation of the recently emerging online funeral services. The study is significant as it aims to understand the current status of these services and identify the factors necessary to improve service accessibility and usability. Subsequent studies require in-depth user verification of how much the proposed improvement plan affects the actual user experience.
