Post-Use의 사용자조사를 위한 기초연구

This study tries to understand, define, and categorize Post-Use as fundamental research of user research on Post-Use. Since user research has been mostly focused on tbe acquisition of product, and its usage so far, user research on Post-Use didn't get much attention, and were almost neglected. In order to figure out the potential of user research on Post-Use, the concept of Post-Use itself needs to be understood and well defined first of all. In order to define the concept of Post-Use, it is also required to look at life cycle of product, because it is the base that can be used in the definition of Post-Use. After understanding life cycle of product, and defining Post-Use, it can be largely classified into 3 categories: reuse, recycle, and remanufacture. Categories of reuse and remanufacture have its sub categories such as reuse by recognition, distribution, and repair, and remanufacture by component, and product itself. Based on these categories, case study was conducted. This study is helpful for understanding the concept of Post-Use, and expected to be utilized as a fundamental frame for conducting user study in the follow up research.
