Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the intention to use healing farming by setting aged readiness, rural healing supply condition, and rural healing service as independent variables. This study has been started based on the idea that it is necessary to provide healing service through healing agriculture to the rapidly increasing elderly people and urban people who need mental rest. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out the various factors influencing intention to use healing agriculture through empirical analysis. Second, we want to examine whether the variables influenced the intention to use more. Third, based on the results of these tests, we suggest the policy for activation of healing agriculture by examining the factors necessary for the promotion of physical and mental health of the elderly in the aging society and the revitalization of healing agriculture for the mental healing of the urban people. For this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted for men and women over 30 years old, and the final 356 copies were analyzed. The validity of the research hypothesis was verified by linear regression analysis. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the physical preparation, emotional preparation, and economic preparation of aged care preparations were found to have a significant effect on intention to use. Second, natural landscape, accessibility, and stability of rural healing supply conditions were found to have a significant effect on intention to use. But economics and expertise were dismissed. Third, crop cultivation, animal medication and healing facilities of rural healing service were proved to have significant influence on intention to use. In order to increase the utilization of healing agriculture, it is necessary for the consumer to be well prepared for aging. In rural healing supply conditions, accessibility and safety should be provided for healing facilities in rural healing services.And to increase the intention to use it.

최근 급격히 증가하는 노인들과 정신적 휴식이 필요한 도시인들의 신체적 정신적 건강과 안녕감을 유지하기 위한 방법으로써 치유농업에 관한 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 치유농업 이용의도에 영향을 미치는 변인고찰을 위하여 노후준비도, 농촌치유 공급조건, 농촌치유 제공서비스를 독립변수로 정하여 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 치유농업 이용의도에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인들을 실증적 분석을 통하여 파악하고자 한다. 둘째는 다양한 요인들 중에서 어느 변인이 이용의도에 더 많은 영향을 미쳤는지를 검증하고자 한다. 셋째, 이들 검증결과를 바탕으로 치유농업 활성화 정책을 제언하는 데 있다. 본 연구를 위해서 30세 이상 성인 남녀를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 최종 356부를 분석대상으로 확정하였다. 연구가설의 검증은 선형회귀분석을 통하여 검증하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노후준비도의 신체적 준비와 정서적 준비 그리고 경제적 준비는 이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 농촌치유 공급조건의 자연경관, 접근성, 안전성은 이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 경제성과 전문성은 기각되었다. 셋째, 농촌치유 제공서비스의 농작물 재배, 동물매개, 치유시설은 이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 이러한 연구를 통해, 치유농업의 이용의도를 높이기 위해서는 소비자의 노후준비가 잘되어 있어야 하며, 농촌치유 공급조건에서는 접근성과 안전성이, 농촌치유제공 서비스에서는 치유시설이 잘 갖춰져야 치유농업을 이용하려는 소비자의 이용의도를 높일 수 있다는 결론을 도출하였다.
