초록
현대사회에서 과학기술은 사회발전과 혁신에 핵심적 역할을 수행하기 때문에 이에 대한 수용성은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구의 목적은 과학기술 수용성과 관련된 대중의 위험인식수준, 위험정보의 원천과 신뢰수준, 정부의 위험소통수준을 분석하는데 있다. 첫째, 대중들의 위험인식과 관련해서는 판단의 대상이 과학기술이 구체화될수록 위험인식이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 원자력에 대한 차별적 인식이 존재하였다. 둘째, 핵심적인 정보원으로는 TV, 신문, 잡지 등 언론매체와 인터넷매체로 나타난 반면, 정부로부터 얻는 정보량은 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 정부의 위험소통활동에 대해서는 부정적 평가가 지배적이었다. 정부는 위험정보보다는 안전정보 위주의 제공을 하고 있으며, 정부의 위험소통에 대한 대중들의 경험정도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 원자력 기술에 대한 위험인식 완화전략을 추진해야 하고, 핵심적인 정보원인 인터넷 매체에 대한 정보노출을 강화해야 하며, 보다 적극적인 위험소통노력과 위험-안전간 균형있는 정보제공 노력이 필요함을 제시하였다.
Abstract
Considering that the science/technology is the key factor in social development and innovation, its acceptance depends on the risk perception toward it. Our study aims to analyze the level of risk perception about science- technology, sources of and trust in risk information, and the level of government’s risk communication. The results include, first, that the public show a higher risk perception when risk issues have been specified. Second, people depend on the information from the media and internet rather than government. Third, government provides information about safety more than risk whereas the public have little experience in government’s risk communication. This paper implies that government should adopt the strategies to reduce risk perception toward nuclear energy, by disseminating the information via internet as a main media, and taking balanced efforts to provide the safety and risk information.
