Abstract
As food consumption pattern changes (reduced rice consumption and increased consumption of fresh vegetables), managing upland fields became a greater priority. However, the agricultural infrastructure projects have been focused on rice farming, and the infrastructure level to support dry fields cultivation is insufficient. The purpose of this study was to spatial distribution analysis of these dry fields with farm manager registration information. Using FRAGSTATS, we analyzed landscape indices (TA/CA, NP, PD, LSI, LPI, PLADJ, COHESION, CONNECT, AI) of farmlands in which farmers in 13 regions (Si or Gun) cultivated dry-field crops. As results of this analysis, the total area of the fields in Naju-si, Hampyeong-gun and Suncheon-si were found to be wider, but the average area of a patch in Youngam-gun, Hampyeong-gun and Jangseong-gun were wider than other regions. On average, each farmer had farmlands containing of 1.7~2.4 patches and cultivated crops in fields of 0.2~0.5 ha. Farmlands of Hampyeong-gun, Youngam-gun, Naju-si showed high values in adjacency indices, however the farmlands of Suncheon and Gwangyang showed fragmented distribution with low values in adjacency indices. These results of fragmentation analysis of farmlands could be used when we establish the plan of an agricultural infrastructure project or select places for a collaborative agricultural management business promotion project.
