Abstract

This study is conducted to explore the problems that are being discussed in society and investigate consumers’ feelings or experiences regarding personal mobility which have been started to receive attention, by conducting both news and social data analysis. Using the R 3.5.3 and Trendup 4.0 programs, this study gathered 1163 news reports and 10332 twitter reviews regarding personal mobility dating to the period between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019. Topics were extracted from the selected news reports through Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic-modeling; the news and twitter reviews were analyzed using the bigram network analysis. The results of topic modeling show that issues related to personal mobility in news data included safety issues related to operation and for the product itself, growth issues for companies, and service issues such as sharing services. The results of the network analysis showed that the news data contained content on sharing services, service releases, and safety issues. Twitter data showed both consumers’ desire to use personal mobility in their lives and concerns about the safety of it. It is recommended to continually identify and improve the problems consumers feel and reflect them in relevant regulations.
