Abstract
The purpose of this study is to confirm the relationship between usual values (technology, health, environment, food) of Korean citizens and the industrial application and regulatory attitudes of genome editing technology(GET) and to provide a basis for citizen participation. Data from 553 people who recognized GET during the 2018-2019 ‘People’s Awareness Survey on Biotechnology’ by the Korea Biosafety Clearing House were analyzed. As a result, technology, environment and food values showed a positive correlation with industrial application(p<.01). Regarding regulatory attitudes, there was a negative correlation with technological values and a positive correlation with environmental values (p<.05). On the other hand, as a result of multinomial logistic regression analysis of the effect of values on industrial application agreement, all values showed influence(p<.001), and only technology values showed influence on regulatory attitudes(p<.05). It has been confirmed that citizens’ usual values are related to both industrial application of technology and regulation. Citizen participation will be very important in the introduction and implementation of policies for R&D of GET, securing safety and preventing accidents.
