PURPOSES: This study identifies the policy changes in road infrastructure over the last 30 years, and rates user satisfaction using opinion mining techniques. METHODS: First, we collected a text data set of the keyword 'road transport services' from media articles published between January 1, 1990 and June 10, 2019 that were managed by the Korea Press Foundation. Next word frequencies were analyzed to extract keywords relating to important policy issues. Moreover, to ensure changes in user satisfaction level with the road infrastructure, sentimental analysis was used. RESULTS : The results indicate that policy issues changed significantly every 5 years. Public opinion on newly introduced advanced technology in road transportation was generally positive, and user satisfaction gradually increased with time. CONCLUSIONS: Prior to the implementation of new technologies in road transport services, public opinion must be surveyed to ensure that the mobility policies are convenient and satisfactory.

Current evaluation practices for IT projects suffer from several problems, which include the difficulty of self-explanation for the evaluation results and the improperly scaled scoring system. This study aims to develop a methodology of opinion mining to extract key factors for the causal relationship analysis and to assess the feasibility of quantifying evaluation scores from text comments using opinion mining based on big data analysis. The research has been performed on the domain of publicly procured IT proposal evaluations, which are managed by the National Procurement Service. Around 10,000 sets of comments and evaluation scores have been gathered, most of which are in the form of digital data but some in paper documents. Thus, more refined form of text has been prepared using various tools. From them, keywords for factors and polarity indicators have been extracted, and experts on this domain have selected some of them as the key factors and indicators. Also, those keywords have been grouped into into dimensions. Causal relationship between keyword or dimension factors and evaluation scores were analyzed based on the two research models-a keyword-based model and a dimension-based model, using the correlation analysis and the regression analysis. The results show that keyword factors such as planning, strategy, technology and PM mostly affects the evaluation result and that the keywords are more appropriate forms of factors for causal relationship analysis than the dimensions. Also, it can be asserted from the analysis that evaluation scores can be composed or calculated from the unstructured text comments using opinion mining, when a comprehensive dictionary of polarity for Korean language can be provided. This study may contribute to the area of big data-based evaluation methodology and opinion mining for IT proposal evaluation, leading to a more reliable and effective IT proposal evaluation method.

최근에 사용자에 의한 대량의 텍스트 데이터가 발생하면서 사용자의 정보, 의견 등을 분석하는 오피니언 마이닝이 중요하게 부각되고 있다. 오피니언 마이닝 중 특히 정서 분석은 제품, 사회적 이슈, 정치인에 대한 호감 등에 대한 개인적 의견이나 정서를 분석하여 긍정, 부정이나 행복, 슬픔 등의 정서를 분석하는 연구 분야이다. 정서 분석을 위해서 정서 차원 이론의 정서가와 각성 차원의 2차원 공간을 사용하고, 이 공간에서 정서가 분포하는 영역을 설정하여 매핑하는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 기존에는 정서의 분포 영역을 임의로 설정하는 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해, 한국어 정서 단어 목록을 사용해 사용자 설문을 실시하여 2차원 상에 12개 정서의 분포를 구성하였다. 또한 2차원 상의 특정 정서 상태가 여러 개의 정서에 중첩되는 경우, 정서에 소속될 확률을 사용한 룰렛휠 방법을 사용하여 하나의 정서를 선택하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 사용하여 텍스트에서 정서 단어를 추출하여 텍스트를 정서로 분류할 수 있다.
