4차 산업혁명과 디자인 관련 연구 동향

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to suggest future research directions in the design field by systematically organizing research trends related to the 4th industrial revolution and design. To analyze research trends, we selected ‘fourth industrial revolution’ and ‘design’ as keywords and collected journal articles through a thesis search site. The collected papers were classified into the year of publication, journal, key word, research content, and research method, and research trends were analyzed. As a result of analyzing the research trend, research related to the 4th industrial revolution and design has been conducted in earnest since 2016, and has been mainly published in academic journals related to arts and physical education. Key words of the study showed a large distribution of design methodology, convergence technology, design education, design types, and design concepts. As for the contents of the study, research on the design proposal and the research on the direction and capability of the design showed a large distribution. Most of the research methods were qualitative research methods. Based on these results, the research direction suggested in this study, first, it is necessary to expand the research method. Second, there is a need for research to rethink the role of designers and redefine their capabilities. Third, research on interdisciplinary convergence is needed. Design should create new design value through convergence with various disciplines as well as with technology. In particular, humanistic thinking in design is an essential element, and fusion with it is necessary. There is a need to find a way to increase the value of design through convergence with business administration and education.
