【 摘 要 】

The major fact in this study is the awareness of the problems of countries’ responses regarding climate change: currently international community’s recognition level regarding the change. In spite of their continuous efforts, currently international community;;s responses has fallen to the ;;Giddens;;s Paradox;;. Korea has high perception level but has shown bad grades about corresponding to climate change every year. This study tries to point out a problem of the current corresponding ways based on the ;;rational choice theory’ that only focus on the perception of the majority, where other diversity of perceptions are eliminated. So, this study analyzes various perception types of climate change in Korea using the Q methodology, based on the social constructionism of risk and the ;;cultural theory’. As a result of the analysis, perception types of climate change of the 45 respondents are typified in four types—type A(Pursuing lifestyle conversion of all society), type B(Pursuing reforms of the present led by small groups), type C(Pursuing energy conversion focused on individuals), type D(Pursuing market-based correspondences focused on causers). Each type has different perspectives in terms of ;;the cause of climate change’, ;;means of climate change response’, and ;;agent of climate change response’. According to consensus statements analysis, this study shows that this study shows that Korean considers climate change as a realistic and practical issue and thus a countermeasure is needed, whereas Europeans and Americans show a more skeptical behavior. Further, all perception types do not consider nuclear power as a corresponding way to climate change. Using the four ;;cultural biases’ proposed in the ;;cultural theory’ as the explanatory factors for each perception type, cultural biases are shown to be meaningful factors affecting perceptions on climate change. This study suggests the implications of the effective climate change response policies depending on the characteristics of each perception type, and indicates how the current monotonous policies needs to have more flexibility. To conclude, this study proposes five hypotheses about the perceptions of climate change through the Q methodology.
