Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the research trends related to drinking spring water and bottled water in this study and to suggest an expanded interpretation and direction for future research. 695 papers to be analyzed were collected by the Academic Research Information Service (RISS) with the keywords of drinking spring water and bottled water, and 117 final analysis papers were selected. For this, the publication status, research field, and research topic of drinking spring water research by year were analyzed. As a result of analyzing the research trend, it was confirmed that the number of publications of papers on drinking spring water research has gradually increased since the 2010s. The mainly studied fields were divided into business administration, chemistry, and environmental fields, and as a result of confirming the topics by research field, the most frequently addressed in the business administration field was mainly research on the effect of factors such as the selection attribute of drinking spring water and brand image on purchasing behavior. In this chemical field, research was mainly conducted on the characteristics of groundwater, changes in the microbiological quality of drinking spring water, and changes in the quality of drinking spring water, and in the environmental field, topics such as the improvement of the permitted intake of drinking spring water and the development and conservation of groundwater resources were dominated.
