This study aims at explaining locality of living space which is changing drastically by exploring change of land utilization, living space and condition in Yeo-ju, an agricultural area around Seoul. The conclusions are as follows. 1. Agricultural land utilization tends to decrease, while civic land utilization tends to increase. 2. Change of living space due to transportation development is remarkable. Big ferry town (Yeoju-town) grew to a city, while small ferry town fell away. 3. In villages on slow urbanization, houses or lands are deserted. 4. In villages, there has been increasing number of recreational farm for urbanite. 5. In 80% of villages, there has been an increasing number of part-time farmers. 6. Most serious social problem in Yeo-ju is incompetence in agricultural activity after UR. In sum, Yeoju is now an area where the pace of urbanization is very tardy. However, this area, as an changeable area just before speedy urbanization, is expected to be urbanized drastically on condition that transportation develop. When plans suitable for this town are set up, Yeoju is expected to be a comfortable city.

The purpose of this study is to suggest some ways for the development of rural agricultural area to head. For the purpose, this study analyzed residents' participation in the project and their satisfaction on the change of villages, in consideration with the type of village and its socio-demographic variables. The 101 residents of the 4 villages in Yeoju-gun, Gyeonggi-do, responded the questionnaire. The results are as follows. 1) The most important objective of the development project, responded residents, was to expand sales channel of agricultural products and find profitable vegetation, and they participated in it with eager. The residents, however, showed passive participation in the cleaning, planting and reforming in village. 2) The satisfaction level with the development project averaged 3.09 of 5 in the natural environment, 3.05 of 5 in the spatial environment, 2.58 of 5 in the economic environment, and 3.13 of 5 in the social environment. In every aspect, centralized villages showed more satisfaction than scattered villages, ages of under 60 were more satisfied than over 60, and over high school graduates answered more satisfied than under middle school graduates.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics and changes of elderly households in rural area. The elderly were classified as elderly living alone, elderly couple living together, and elderly living with their children. Data from the survey of Ministry of Health and Welfare conducted in 1998, 2008, 2017 were used for the analysis. The subjects of the study included a sample of 9,401 respondents who represent aged 65 or more in Korea. The result of analysis was as follows; First, over the past 20 years, there has been no significant difference in the composition of the sexes of elderly in rural area, and aging is becoming more serious. Second, elderly living with children continue to decrease, and elderly couple are increasing. The number of elderly living alone is on the increase, but it tends to decrease in 2017. Third, the proportion of houses in elderly households is still very high, but it is gradually decreasing and the proportion of apartments is increasing. Fourth, the frequency of communication with children tended to increase slightly in all household types, while the frequency of encounter decreased slightly in 2008 and then increased in 2017. Fifth, the health status and economic status of the elderly have been gradually improved over the past 20 years. Finally, the emotional support in all elderly households is maintained constantly, but the instrumental support is gradually weakened.

This study is to analyze women's power in family to be related to Anbang, kitchen, dining room, and utility room planning in a unit plan of condominium apartment housing in rural area Data were collected 194 unit plans from 9 eastern regions of Kungi-Do. The results are as followed: 1) Anbang reflects the women's power on changing its space character into mater bedroom, the highest hierarchy in private zone, and planning a dress room in it. 2) Dining room and kitchen is openly centered on the unit plan, but kitchen is still only women's working space for family and agriculture depended on literature review. Dining space is not activated family interaction, so it is not different from urban apartment housing. However, its location and character are changed, and its hierarchy is relatively higher with women. Dining room and kitchen tend to plan visually separated after 2001, so its trend seems to establish women's territory at home. 3) Whole family can't be easy to access utility and back balcony close to kitchen, and these spaces are functionally separated for women's house work. This design trend seems to establish for women's area. 4) Finally, women's power seems to be effective in house working area including kitchen space depended on results. Also, these results from rural condominium apartment are similar to urban ones in previous study.

우리나라는 전국에 약 17,500여개의 크고 작은 농업용저수지가 있으며, 이 중 약 89%는 설치된 지 40년이 지나 노후화가 이뤄지고 있다. 최근에는 기후변화 영향으로 홍수피해가 대형화되고 있어 농촌지역의 홍수재해 발생시 저수지 하류부의 인명피해 및 농경지 침수피해는 증가될 것으로 예상된다. 한국농어촌공사는 농업용저수지의 효율적인 물관리 및 재해방지를 위해 자동수위계측기를 활용한 실시간 저수위 자료를 구축하고 있다. 기후변화에 따른 홍수피해를 신속하게 대응하기 위해서는 과거 홍수사상에 대한 저수지 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 농촌지역 풍수해 방지를 위한 의사결정 자료로 활용하게 된다. 기상예측정보의 활용에 앞서 농업용저수지의 홍수모의가 과거 수문사상을 현실적으로 재현하는지를 검토할 필요가 있어 본 연구에서는 저수지 홍수분석의 검정자료인 저수위 자료에 대한 활용성 평가를 수행하였다. 대상저수지는 ${{\circ}{\circ}}$농촌용수구역 내 위치한 ${{\circ}{\circ}}$저수지로 하고, 10분 단위의 저수위 자료를 활용하였다. 연도별 원시자료에 대한 결측, 불량자료, 이상치 등을 검토하고, 그 결과에 대한 유형분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 과거 홍수사상에 대한 농업용저수지 홍수모의 분석 및 검정을 통해 강우레이더 등 기상예측정보 기반의 농촌지역 홍수피해 산정결과의 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 김정은 집권 이후 북한 농업부문에서 계획과 시장의 공존 양태를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 북한 협동농장의 계획 수행 과정을 계획수립-계획실행-계획평가 단계로 나누어 추적한 결과, 협동농장에 대한 계획화체계의 골격은 상대적으로 강하게 유지하고 있다. 계획수립과 계획평가 단계에서는 명령식 계획경제의 틀을 고수하고 있다. 그러나 계획실행 즉 자금·자재·노동력 등 생산요소 확보-생산-생산물 처분 단계에서는 당국 및 상급기관의 사실상 방임 하에 협동농장이 적극적인 시장과의 연계를 통해 자력으로 일을 추진하고 있다. 농업부문의 계획 밖 영역, 즉 시장에서의 변화실태를 파악한 결과, 농업관련 제반 시장들이 새롭게 만들어져 성장하고 있다. 농산물 소비재시장(곡물시장, 채소시장, 축산물시장, 과일시장), 농업 및 비농업 생산재시장(영농자재시장, 식품원료 및 식자재시장)이 생겼으며 점차커지고 있다. 도시의 구매력 향상에 따라 다양한 먹을거리에 대한 수요가 증가하면서 자가소비를 목적으로 생산하던 농산물을 남에게 팔기 위한 '상품'으로 인식함으로써 수요를 겨냥한 공급 확대 등 중요한 변화가 나타났다. 농촌의 구매력도 커지면서 영농자재 시장의 수요와 공급이 늘어났다. 이는 시장화에 일시적으로 후행하던 농촌이 도시 수요를 겨냥한 농업생산에 본격적으로 나서게 됨으로써 시장경제적 질서에 재편입하고, 시장연계활동의 많고 적음에 따라 농촌간 격차가 나타나는 등 북한 농업부문이 개발도상국 경제에서 출현하는 농업근대화의 초기 양상과 일부 유사함을 말해준다.

Animal welfare has become a prominent concern around the world so that the laws and guidelines of animal welfare are being strengthened in many countries including the EU. In Korea, it is required to supplement animal welfare standards because social awareness of animal welfare has changed. This study was conducted to compare broiler welfare certification standards and improve the quality of practice. We found that broiler welfare certification standards differ among countries according to environmental and managemental differences. Standards for stocking density and perch which is considered more important for poultry welfare are similar, but there is a little difference in feed, water, litter and lighting. Therefore, we assumed that theses are able to revise standards taking into account the environment and suggested that the broiler welfare certification standard will serve as a more useful criterion if breeding conditions in Korea are considered.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of reusable organic wastes, on soil organisms and chemical properties. Bone meal, de-oiled cake, and oyster shell were applied and abundances of soil organisms were measured at 3 and 15 months, after treatment in soil under sawleaf zelkova cultivation. Soil organisms are affected, by the quality of applied organic wastes. Abundance of microorganisms was higher in oyster shell treated soils than in untreated soils, suggesting that soil pH is a driving force, altering abundance and structure of the microbial community. Increase in abundance of bacterivorous nematodes was observed under treatment with bone meal and de-oiled cake, but there was slight change in abundance of fungivorous and herbivorous nematodes. Abundance of herbivorous nematode was positively correlated with plant growth, at 15 months after treatment. Response of microarthropods in the Collembola and Oribatida was not apparent. Abundances of primary consumers were not significantly correlated with microorganisms. This study suggested that organic waste influences soil organisms primarily by altering soil chemical properties and bottom-up effects may not occur in trophic reactions.

This study aims at interpreting Korean Rural Landscape by applying the analytical tool thus developed to the lifestyles of ordinary people found in their permanent dwellings both before and after Korea first opened its door to the world in 1896. By so doing, this study hopes to contribute to building a framework with which to understand the tradition of ordinary people by exploring the uniqueness and basic characteristics of Korean Rural Landscape. This study relies primarily on field studies and publications including, without limitation, the televised documentaries, as well as newspapers and scholastic writings and relating to, the agrarian and residential landscapes changed over time. In the Vernacular world, the present does not passively inherit the past. Rather, it is re-born each time, reflecting the society and history of the period. It does not change, but is shaped by the necessities of the period. This may be the reason why there are different Korean Rural Landscapes over a rather short period of time. For instance, the pre-modern Korean Rural Landscape tends to be shaped almost entirely by the nature, while the intention of people begins to find much more expressions in the modern Korean Rural Landscape. As the commodities become more readily available to people thanks to industrialization, such ready availability has brought about changes in the materials used in, as well as functions of, Rural Landscape.

Recently, interest in renewable energy development has been increasing to promote carbon-neutral policies. Agrivoltaic is a solar power generation facility with the potential to aid in meeting carbon-neutral policies. It has the advantage of generating electricity while farming takes place, but it also has the disadvantage of reducing crop yield and cultivation safety. We analyzed the rice yield, quality, and stem growth characteristics according to different transplanting densities under agrivoltaics. Under agrivoltaics, the number of rice panicles was reduced by the shading effect, but the reduction was lower under 60 hills than under 80 and 100 hills. Brown rice perfect ratio was increased under 60 hills under agrivoltaics. Brown rice yield did not differ significantly between 60 and 80 hills under agrivoltaics. However, stem dry weight by unit(mg/cm) in each internode showed highest under 60 hills compared to 80 and 100 hills under agrivoltaics. Therefore, 60 hill density was considered appropriate to ensure cultivation safety and yield when cultivated rice under agrivoltaics.
