Abstract

This study aims to provide information for the development of an information system related to the daily life safety of infants and young children at home. An online survey was conducted on 500 women aged 20-49 across the country who had experience in child-rearing on their experiences and perceptions related to safety in the process of raising infants and toddlers, as well as their demands for a daily life safety information system. As a result, first, in Korea, a lot of information related to childcare safety is provided through the community bulletin board of Mom Cafe, but it is operated privately for men, showing difficulties in accessibility and limitations in reliability. Second, information related to daily life safety for children in online is mainly supplied by public institutions, but the content provided is common sense and has many overlapping contents, especially it is very difficult to find information targeting infants and toddlers in the home. Third, while the survey participants' demand for emergency medical information was high, the urgent need for improvement measures was improvement of the quantity and quality of content and comprehensive and customized content. Finally, as a result of subdividing the characteristics of the survey participants in order to provide content customized to consumers related to safety issues, they were divided into 'sensitive' and 'general', which are very sensitive to living safety. Among them, the safety-sensitive type showed more active demand and demand for participation in all evaluation items of hope for information system related to safety for infants and toddlers at home.
