Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the preference and present use condition of convenience foods for North Korean refugees in South Korea. Questionnaires were completed by 211 North Korean refugees and data was analyzed with SPSS software. The preference for convenience foods of half of the questionnaires was investigated as 'moderate'. More than half of the North Korean refugees enjoy eating the convenience foods. They enjoy them as a snack. The reason to eat convenience foods is due to the convenience(n=122, 57.8%), and taste(n=42, 10.0%). North Korean refugees under the age of 29 years think the fastfood is good due to the convenience and taste. The longer the period of residence in South Korea, the less they enjoy convenience foods. The reason to choose the convenience foods is 'good for health', 'convenient', 'exotic', and 'economical'. The results suggest that it is necessary to educate people to buy reasonably by understanding the relationship between the convenience foods and health.

본 연구는 새터민들의 편의식품에 대한 선호도와 이용현황을 파악하여 올바른 편의식품을 선택할 수 있게 하고자 실시하였다. 새터민 211명에게 설문지를 조사하여 SPSS를 이용해서 분석했다. 반 이상의 새터민들이 편의식품을 좋아하고, 즐겨먹는 것으로 조사되었다. 반 정도의 새터민들이 편의식품에 대해 경우에 따라 좋다고 생각하고 있었고, 새터민들은 편의식품을 간식으로 즐겨 먹었다. 새터민들은 영양보다는 편리성과 맛 때문에 편의식품을 선택하고 있다. 새터민들은 거주기간이 짧을수록 패스트푸드의 맛, 편리성, 영양, 가격때문에 패스트푸드를 선택하는 경향을 보였다. 새터민들에게 편의식품에 대해 이해시키고, 올바른 편의식품 사용방법에 대해 기초적인 식생활교육을 실시하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각되었다.
