After Brainstorming, the problems are extracted as factoids and written down onpost-its. Each items were rearranged according to KJ technique method. However,each ‘chunk’ on the KJ map basically showed the same arrangement as it did onthe Brainstorming map resulting in no further insights.

From the list of design areas, we have decided to focus on “Orchard and its fruits”. The reason was that, during the Brainstorming stage, “Fruits” was the most recurring topic and produced strong responses.

수확 (picking fruits)
4.1 In-depth Interview – Interview Planning
Design Methodology Term Project
선별 및 포장 (sorting and packaging) 운반 및 유통 (transporting and distributing)
In-depth interview was based on following three topics; ‘picking fruits’, ‘sorting and packaging’, and ‘transporting and distributing’ which are closely related to the lives of farmers.
Q1. How do you take care of the fruits during spring, summer and fall season?
Q2. What are some inconvenience while you pick fruits?
Q3. What are some inconvenience regarding sorting and packaging?
Q4. What are the accustomed way of selling the fruits?
Q5. Are there any alternative distribution channel?

1. Thinning out process (솎아주기)
4.3 In-depth Interview – Summary
Design Methodology Term Project
Pick extra flowers and leave only one which will grow bigger into one. This is laborious task for elderlies.
Growing Fruits Picking Fruits Packaging Fruits Selling Fruits
2. Covering process
Fruits should be covered with paper bag when its little. Otherwise, fruits will be damaged by disease and insect. Plums which have weak stalk cannot resist the weight of paper bag.
3. Spraying pesticides and fertilizer
This process continues from spring to fall. Farmers, mostly elderlies, do this labor on their own to save their expenditure on labor service.
Farmers have to work during summer season resulting in sun-stroke.
Managing fruits is a labor intensive work for elderlies.
Farmers have to work spring through fall in harvest the best fruit.

1. Unpredictable weather
4.3 In-depth Interview – Summary
Design Methodology Term Project
The price of fruits depend on the weather too much. Bad weather can created huge loss of farmers. Storm, Mae-mi (2003) for example made farmers to end up with huge debt.
Picking Fruits Packaging Fruits Selling Fruits
2. 100% manual work
Picking fruits cannot be done with machines. It should be picked one by one on hands. During the hot summer, farmers suffer from sunstroke.
3. Picking fruits on the tree top
Picking fruits on the tree top is cumbersome because farmers have to carry around heavy ladders.
Growing Fruits
Farmers have to undertake losses from natural disaster.
Most harvestings are done manually.
Heavy ladders should be carried around the farm.

1. Sorting fruits by hand, Classification with eye measure
4.3 In-depth Interview – Summary
Design Methodology Term Project
Sorting machines are too expensive for farmer to purchase. So, many farmers do the sorting manually. The elderlies have to sit one small chair and continue this process for several hours. Fruits are classified in to 3 to 5 classes (특, 왕특, 상, 보통, 하). If the farmer make mistake while classifying, they have to undertake losses while selling their product.
Picking Fruits Packaging Fruits Selling Fruits
2. 20%~30% of harvest is thrown away
A lot of harvest fruits are thrown away because of small bruises. These fruits are called ‘기조’ but ironically these fruits are especially delicious as the birds who made the bruises instinctly knows the best taste fruits.
3. Fragile fruits
The hard package damages the fruits a lot while transporting. Also, powdery ‘분’ on the surface of the fruits is a measure of high sugar contents, therefore, protecting ‘분’ is very important while packaging fruits.

Not many people were visiting special fruit section which were expensive compared to the other fruits.
Fruit Section Observation
2. Organic Fruit and Vegetable Section
Both sections are at organic food section. But there is a disparity of customers between 2 sections. Fruit section has fewer people to buy fruits. In contrast, vegetable section attracts so many customers.
Expensive products can’ be attract customer.
Customers are unconcerned with organic fruit though it has a special section.
Fruits distributed through APC was sold in higher price.

1. Direct Dealing beneficial but not common
5.4 In-depth Interview – Summary
Design Methodology Term Project
If agricultural goods are distributed throguh direct dealing, farmers earn more. However, chances are rare and farmers have to be in charged of transporting and selling in addition to growing fruits.
2. Large discount stores try to direct deal with farmers
Larger discount stores such as Emart, Homeplus are dealing fruits with some farms directly reducing the price of fruits.
3. Farmers do not understand the needs of city dwellers fully
Farmers who are native to the region and have never lived in city does not fully understand the needs of the city dwellers. This misunderstanding causes conflict. (poor packaging, uneven size of fruits)
Chance of direct dealing is rare to farmers.
