Abstract

This study was intended to investigate recognition of the general public on water pollution and nonpoint pollution, and to promote participation of the common people in prevention and management of nonpoint pollution by investigating the necessity and participation in the education for reducing the nonpoint pollution. To this end, this study conducted questionnaire on 1,000 male and female adults over 20 years of age nationwide who are registered in Onpanel. The questionnaire was comprised of recognition on water pollution, preventive activity for nonpoint pollution, countermeasures for preventing nonpoint pollution, necessity of national education for reducing the nonpoint pollution, recognition of promotion and campaign participation, and revitalization of organization for reducing the nonpoint pollution. As a result of the questionnaire investigation, interest in water pollution of respondents was high, and specially, interest in the nonpoint pollution was higher when age, academic level, and income were higher that effectiveness of promotion and education on the source of nonpoint pollution is expected to be increased. Respondents recognized the effect of education on reducing the nonpoint pollution positively when they had higher interest, information, education and experience related to the reduction activity of nonpoint pollution. Therefore, formation of sympathy of the public is positively necessary for the nonpoint pollution management, and provision of civil activity program that increases information on the nonpoint pollution, education, and participation in reduction activity and easy promotion with high information communicability should be conducted continuously.

본 연구는 수질오염 및 비점오염에 대한 일반인들의 의식을 알아보고, 비점오염 저감을 위한 교육의 필요성과 참여의사 등을 파악함으로써 비점오염 예방과 관리에 있어 일반인들의 참여를 이끌고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해, Onpanel에 가입된 전국 20대 이상 성인 남녀 1,000명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문의 구성은 수질오염 인식현황, 비점오염 예방활동, 비점오염 예방을 위한 대책마련, 비점오염원 저감을 위한 국민교육 필요성, 홍보 및 캠페인 참여의식, 비점오염 저감을 위한 조직 활성화 방안 등으로 구성하였다. 설문조사 결과 응답자들의 수질오염에 대한 관심도가 높게 나타났으며 특히 비점오염 관심도는 연령, 학력, 소득이 높을수록 더욱 높은 관심도를 보여 비점오염원에 대한 홍보 교육의 실효성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 비점오염에 대한 관심도, 정보, 교육, 저감활동 관련 경험이 많을수록 비점오염 저감교육의 효과를 긍정적으로 인식하였으며, 비점오염 저감교육의 효과를 긍정적으로 인식할수록 교육 참여의사가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 비점오염의 관리를 위해서는 국민의 공감대 형성이 반드시 필요하며, 비점오염 관련 정보, 교육, 저감활동에 대한 참여경험을 높이는 시민 활동 프로그램의 공급과 쉽고 전달력 강한 홍보가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.
