유치원 학부모들의 급식 중요도 인식에 따른 급식지원 요구도 분석

초록/요약

This study aims to classify parents by considering important factors in the management of foodservice for children. An offlinesurvey was conducted by enrolling 583 Korean parents whose children attended public or private kindergartens inSeoul. The important factors required for managing foodservice for children are meal service resources, menu management,and food allergy. Considering these factors, parents were grouped into 3 clusters: the allergy important group, environmentimportant group, and high concern group. Evaluation of the demographic characteristics revealed a significant differencebetween clusters with respect to type of kindergarten. Parents perceived that a private kitchen is more required than a privatedining room, and perceptions about the need for a private kitchen and dining room were significantly different among theclusters. Furthermore, the results reveal significant differences between clusters, when considering the need to support mealservice. Therefore, the government needs to consider characteristics of the parent cluster if they plan to support thekindergarten foodservice. We believe that this study can be used as supportive data to establish a working policy.
