This study compares and analyzes the supporting system used in Korea and Japan to facilitate the development of maeul-mandeulgi supporting systems. And the results of comparison and analysis are as follows: First, it needs to establish the separate legal system in the city planning system and to enact the local more local autonomous ordinances to complementarily connect with the administrative system. Second, an exclusive department should be organized under direct control of the local government head. Third, the maeul-mandeulgi support center should hire the full-time employees including the experts and civil officials who are not relevant with administrative works, and the local administrative organization should lead the operation of this center while strengthening the functionality of the center to be suitable with the local situations. Fourth, it is necessary to diversify the way to proceed with the maeul-mandeulgi project, and to look for a source of financial resource instead of depending on the budget of the administrative organizations.

The Farm Revival Program of the Farm Land Bank, implemented in 2006, initiated as the Agricultural Land Bank's business proposal to achieve efficient usage of farm land. Also, expansion of Farm Revival Program will bring positive effects when considering the fact that Farm Revival Program contributes to farm liability issues and management improvements. However, despite the importance of Farm Revival Program, searching for improvement methods through a rural demand survey is very insufficient. The following research limits the target to farms that applied for the management redemption project within Gangwon Province and examined the application motivation, project satisfaction, and demands of the farms. This research holds value as a fundamental data which reflects the demands of farms to better manage Farm Land Purchasing of the Farm Land Bank.

거제(巨濟) 지역사회(地域社會) 개발(開發) 보건원(保健院)은 농촌 지역에서 보다 효과적으로 총괄적인 의료를 베풀기 위하여 세계 교회 협의회 의료 선교 위원회의 지원으로 1970년에 개원하였다. 시범 산업이기에, 사업의 효과를 여러 모로 평가하는 것이 필요하겠으며, 의료에 관한 연구도 그 중 하나라고 생각된다. 이 연구에서는 대조지역으로 프로젝트에서 가장 멀고, 교통이 제일 불편한 면을 택하였다. 월간 유병율은 일년 전보다 감소한 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 치료율은 차이가 없었으나, 의사의 치료를 받은 율이 증가하였다. 대조 지역과 비교하면 프로젝트 지역에서 보다 많이 의사의 치료를 받았다. 치료를 받지 않은 중요 이유로는 "별로 아프지 않아서"가 일년 전에 비해 증가하였고, "너무 비싸서"라는 이유가 감소하였다. 아직 사업의 효과를 평가하기에는 이르지만, 이 연구와 일년 전과를 비교할 때, 의료 수준이 높아진 것으로 보인다.

This study aimed to investigate the need for dietary education and programs for young Koreans belonging to single-person households in the metropolitan area. A total of 500 young adults aged 19-34 participated in the study through an online survey. Participants responded to questions on general characteristics, dietary problems, and the need for dietary education and programs. The subjects were divided into three groups as follows: Undergraduate students, employed workers, and others. Among the subjects from single-person households, 20.2, 67, and 12.8% were undergraduate students, employed workers, and others, respectively. When asked for their estimation of an appropriate self-pay when participating in a cooking class, 39.8% of total subjects responded '5,000-10,000 won'. The most preferred program for young adults in single-person households was the 'support food package'. For the preferred method of dietary education, undergraduate students showed a greater preference for classes 'at campuses'. However, employed workers and others had a higher preference for 'non-face-to-face online classes'. Undergraduate students tended to generally have a higher preference for dietary education and support programs compared to employed workers and others. This study provides data that will be useful for establishing healthy dietary policies and education programs for young single-person households in Korea.

This study was conducted to find information on the university's image from words related to 'Korea National College of Agriculture and Fisheries (KNCAF)' in Naver News. For this purpose, word frequency analysis, TF-IDF evaluation and semantic network analysis were performed using web crawling technology. In word frequency analysis, 'agriculture', 'education', 'support', 'farmer', 'youth', 'university', 'business', 'rural', 'CEO' were important words. In the TF-IDF evaluation, the key words were 'farmer', 'dron', 'agricultural and livestock food department', 'Jeonbuk', 'young farmer', 'agriculture', 'Chonju', 'university', 'device', 'spreading'. In the semantic network analysis, the Bigrams showed high correlations in the order of 'youth' - 'farmer', 'digital' - 'agriculture', 'farming' - 'settlement', 'agriculture' - 'rural', 'digital' - 'turnover'. As a result of evaluating the importance of keywords as five central index, 'agriculture' ranked first. And the keywords in the second place of the centrality index were 'farmers' (Cc, Cb), 'education' (Cd, Cp) and 'future' (Ce). The sperman's rank correlation coefficient by centrality index showed the most similar rank between Degree centrality and Pagerank centrality. The KNCAF articles of Naver News were used as important words such as 'agriculture', 'education', 'support', 'farmer', 'youth' in terms of word frequency. However, in the evaluation including document frequency, the words such as 'farmer', 'dron', 'Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs', 'Jeonbuk', and 'young farmers' were found to be key words. The centrality analysis considering the network connectivity between words was suitable for evaluation by Cd and Cp. And the words with strong centrality were 'agriculture', 'education', 'future', 'farmer', 'digital', 'support', 'utilization'.
