Rural life improvement programs (RLIPs) have been implemented with a central goal of improving the quality of rural life and promoting rural welfare and cultural life. However, different factors may influence the effect of rural life improvement programs on rural communities or households. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of perceived effects of RLIPs on quality of life of rural women in South Korea. We used a mixed research design to generate data for this study. We collected survey data from 311 rural women who participated in the RLIPs and also conducted a focus group discussion. We analyzed the quantitative data using descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression to identify the variables that predicted effects of RLIPs on quality of life of rural women. Our study finds that age, type of residence in the community, leadership experience, level of education, community satisfaction and community participation influenced respondents' perceived effects of RLIPs. The results imply that the benefits of a development intervention could not be uniformly reaped by residents of a community.

The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of functional compounds in perilla leaves of various genetic resources and their antioxidant activities. A comprehensive analysis of functional compounds was conducted for 90 genetic resources, focusing on total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), individual phenolic content (IPC), and lutein. Their antioxidant activities were then analyzed based on their radical scavenging capacity using ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The TPC content exhibited a range of 13.19 to 35.85 mg gallic acid equivalent/g, whereas the TFC content varied from 11.74 to 46.51 mg catechin equivalent/g. Total IPC was detected in a range of 6,310.98 to 40,491.82 ㎍/g. Lutein was detected at levels between 70.97 and 597.97 ㎍/g. ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities of perilla leaves ranged from 30.39 to 58.58 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g and from 7.74 to 46.56 mg TE/g, respectively. Furthermore, correlation analysis demonstrated that rosmarinic acid, a phenolic acid, exhibited a significantly positive correlation with antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that various genetic resource of perilla leaves could effectively mediate antioxidant capacity. Results of this study provide valuable information for use of perilla leaves in Korea as functional food materials.

농업 농촌은 인구유출로 인한 과소화, 농산물 국제 개방 등으로 어려움을 겪고 있다. WTO 뉴라운드 농업협상 등 국제 농산물 시장 개방이 가속화되면서 수입농산물이 증가하여 결국 국내 농업기반이 붕괴되고 있다. 농업기반이 무너지면서 농가 인구는 감소하여 농촌은 노령화로 생산 활동이 위축되고 있다. 또한 난개발로 농촌경관이 훼손되고 있으며 도시지역에 비해 생활여건과 복지 인프라도 취약한 실정이다.(중략)

This study analyzes the current status of Korea's legal system was a disaster in the rural region and to identify problems. There are many problems in rural region despite the specificity and uniqueness of the area significantly as compared to the city did not receive such consideration as to distinguish the area as part of the institutional election strategy. Through this study, we analyze the problem more effectively and to respond proactively to the disaster in the rural region. And it sought a solution to the problem and its legal system.

Under the WTO, Bang-Wha country's agriculture is experiencing many difficulties and environmental changes. For overcoming this situation, some agricultural development strategy should be established in Bong-Wha county. First, special agricultural products adapt to local condition should be produced. Second, innovation technics should be developed in local agriculture. Third, marketing activities should be improved in local agricultural products. Finally, organic agricultural products' development should be activated.

Recently, research and development on agricultural robots have been on the rise as the interest in smart farming has increased. Robots used in smart greenhouses should be taken into account with the working characteristics and growing environment. This study examined cleaning robots developed through the environmental analysis of smart greenhouses. This study assessed the evaluation method considering the requirements of the pest control robot applicable to the smart greenhouse. The performance and quality assessment criteria were established to conduct tests through the requirements of robots. The required functions and goals of the pest control robot were derived by referring to the robot-related standards. A driving and working ability test was conducted to assess the performance of the robot. The driving test was conducted on the driving performance of the robot and the work capability was tested on the pest control performance. In addition, a durability test was conducted to assess the quality of the robot. The required factors for smart greenhouse robots were derived from the test results. The study results are expected be a standard for an evaluation of a variety of robots for applications to smart greenhouses.

과거의 용수개발은 단위시설 또는 단위사업별 중심의 양적 확대개발 위주로 추진하여 수리시설간 수자원을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 용수공급체계가 미흡하였다. 수리시설의 양적 확대개발 위주의 추진결과 '03년도 총 수리시설수인 68,018개소 중 관개면적 50ha이상의 주 수원공은 1,888개소로서 전체수리시설의 2.8%를 차지하여 비합리적인 공급불균형 현상이 발생하여 체계적인 급수관리가 이루어지지 못하는 문제가 발생하였다. 또한 기존의 공급체계는 논 용수중심에서 식생활 변화로 인한 밭작물 수요증가로 용수이용 패턴이 변하고 있다. 더욱이 농촌지역의 생활환경 개선이 요구됨에 따라 생활용수, 공업용수, 환경용수 등 농촌지역에 과거와는 다른 형태의 용수수요가 발생하고 있다. 하지만 농촌지역의 수자원은 한정되어 있고 환경파괴 및 적지부족 등의 이유로 신규 수자원개발이 불가능한 사회여건이 지속되어 있어 많은 문제점이 나타나고 있어 균형적인 농촌발전과 건전한 농촌지역조성을 위해서는 새로운 대안이 제시되어야 하는 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 그 대안으로 부각되고 있는 농업용저수지 재개발에 대하여 사업의 우선순위를 합리적으로 결정할 수 있는 의사결정시스템의 개발을 목적으로 하고 있다. 기존 문헌을 고찰하면 개발우선순위는 과학적 논리보다는 정치적, 사회적 논리가 의사결정에 중요한 역할을 하였으나 의사결정시스템의 제공을 통해 정책결정자가 과학적이고 합리적인 논리에 따라 사업개발의 우선순위를 결정할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 본 연구에서는 재개발 의사결정에 필요한 지형적, 사회적, 환경적 요인을 지수화 하는 방법을 고찰하였고, 우선순위를 산정에 필요한 수치지도, 저수지 관련 자료의 작성과 지형정보(GIS)를 구축하였다. 우선순위 대상저수지의 선정은 기존문헌과 수계 및 용량 등을 고찰하여 79개로 우선 선별하였다.
