The purpose of this study is to analyze the accuracy of cultivated crop database in agricultural farm business using UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and field survey over Daesso-myeon, Umsung-gun, Chungbuk. When comparing with agricultural farm business and cadastral maps, Daeso-myeon crop field shows 29.8%(2,030 parcels out of 6,822 parcels) is either mismatched or missing. It covers almost 19.3%($3.4km^2$ of $17.6km^2$) of total farmland. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to prepare a multifaceted plan including cadastral map. Comparative analysis of the cultivated crop registered in the agricultural farm business and the field survey agreed only in 3,622 parcels in total 6,822 parcels whereas 3200 parcels disagree. Among these disagreed parcels 2,030(29.8%) have been confirmed as unregistered farm business entity. Accuracy of cultivated crop registered in agricultural farm business agreed in 75.6% cases. Especially the paddy field registration is more accurate that other crops. These discrepancies can lead to false payment in agricultural farm business. For exploration and analysis of regional resources, UAV images can be used together with farm business management database and cadastral map to get a clearer grasp over on-site resources and conditions.

It is usual for the officially land price of agricultural field parcels to be determined by real estate appraisers's experienced knowledge and intuition without considering quantitatively physical factors that directly influence agricultural productivity. Solar radiation is the most important predictor of agricultural productivity. GIS based simulation techniques were used to evaluate correlation between the officially land price and solar radiation for agricultural field parcels. The results show that officially land price shows random distribution patterns in relation to solar radiation, which proves that officially land price for agricultural field does not reflect agricultural productivity. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference to support more scientific and objective decision-making in the official pricing process of agricultural field parcels.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) have several advantages over conventional remote sensing techniques. UAV can acquire high-resolution images quickly and repeatedly with a comparatively lower flight altitude i.e. 80~400 m nullifying the effect of extreme weather and cloud. This study discussed the use of low cost-effective UAV based remote sensing application in inspection of agricultural subsidy. The study area accrue $60.5km^2$ of Buljeong-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungbuk in South Korea. UAV image acquired 25 times from July 25 to August 11, 2015 for 3 days. It is observed that almost 81.1 % (3,571 of 4,410 parcels) parcels are truthful whereas some parcels are incorrect or fraudulent. Surveying with UAV for agricultural subsidy instead of field stuff can reduce the required time as much as 64.8 % (19 of 54 days). Therefore, it can contribute significantly in speedy and more accurate processing of grant application and can end unfair receipt of the grant which in turn will improve customer satisfaction.

This study analyzed the spatio-temporal change pattern of greenhouse areas for Sangnam-myeon and Samrangjin-eup of Miryang-si in Gyeongnam, which is one of major greenhouse area. First, in order to overcome the lack of statistical data of the distribution of greenhouses, aerial and satellite images were interpreted from 1987 to 2018, and the spatial distribution of the greenhouse parcels which has continuously increased was mapped based on the digital cadastral map. Next, through the emerging hot spot tool in ArcGIS Desktop, the spatio-temporal change in transition from open-field to greenhouse cultivation was classified into 9 clusters. About 67.7% of the target area was categorized as a hot spot, and the pattern of New hot spot, which were recently converted to greenhouse parcels, covered about 34.1%. While, about 11.3% of parcels were expected to keep the existing open-field cultivation practice for a while. Overall, the greenhouse parcels have been densely developed along a river and were lately expanding even to the far neighbor. It implied that, in the future, the competition of water intake among farms would be more serious and the environmental responsibility in consideration of water quality as well as quantity would be getting strengthened due to increasing pollution loads and river intake.

This study classified paddy fields according to rice varieties and monitored temporal changes in rice growth using SAR backscatter coefficients (${\sigma}^{\circ}$). A growing period time-series of backscatter coefficients was set up for nine fine-beam mode RADARSAT-1 SAR images from April to October 2005. The images were compared with field-measured rice growth parameters such as leaf area index (LAI), plant height, fresh and dry biomass, and water content in grain and plants for 45 parcels in Dangjin-gun, Chungnam Province, South Korea. The average backscatter coefficients for early-maturing rice varieties (13 parcels) ranged from -18.17 dB to -6.06 dB and were lower than those for medium-late maturing rice varieties during most of the growing season. Both crops showed the highest backscatter coefficient values at the heading stage (late July) for early-maturing rice, and the difference was greatest before harvest for early-maturing rice. The temporal difference in backscatter coefficients between rice varieties may play a key role in identifying early-maturing rice fields. On the other hand, comparisons with field-measured parameters of rice growth showed that backscatter coefficients decreased or remained on a plateau after the heading stage, even though the growth of the rice canopy had advanced.

The value of Jeju Batdam has been reexamined as it is listed as a nationally important agricultural heritage and globally important agricultural heritage systems. However, it is already exposed to threats such as reduction of agricultural population and cultivation area. Despite efforts like the agricultural heritage system to preserve traditional agriculture, there is few basic investigation into the current status of Jeju Batdam. The purpose of this study is to estimate the length of Jeju Batdam. We used the continuous cadastral map of Jeju area to extract the boundaries of the field lot. In the cadastral map, the farmland was selected by selecting dry fields, paddy fields and orchards. 300 sample site were selected from the extracted farmland, and the boundaries between the Internet map and the parcels were superimposed and the differences were confirmed on the drawing. After that, field survey was conducted to confirm the boundary of the parcels and the existence of actual Batdam. It is estimated that the length estimated from this study is at least 23,983km and maximum 142,353km, which is at least 1,830km longer than 22,108km announced in 2007. Since Jeju Batdam is based on land parcel boundary, it is an objective and efficient method to utilize intellectual information. In addition, because it is subordinate to farmland, new information can be extracted reflecting the change of land use and make the spatial database based on the cadastral maps.

This study was begun to classify the paddy fields by the rice varieties and to monitor the temporal change in rice growth using SAR backscatter coefficients $({\sigma}^{circ})$. For nine fine-beam mode images of Radarsat-1 SAR, a growing period time-series of backscatter coefficients was set up from April to October in 2005, and was compared with the field-measured rice growth parameters such as LAI (leaf area index), plant height, fresh and dry biomass, and water content in grain and plant for 45 parcels in Dangjin-gun, Chungcheongnam Province, South Korea. The average backscatter coefficients for early-maturing rice varieties (13 parcels) were ranged from -18.17dB to -6.06dB and were lower than for medium-late maturing rice varieties during most of the growing season. At around the heading stage (July 30) for early-maturing rice, both rice crops showed the highest backscatter coefficient values and the difference was the greatest before harvesting early-maturing rice. The temporal difference in backscatter coefficients between rice varieties was expected to play a key role to identify early-maturing rice fields. On the other hand, comparison with field-measured rice growth parameters showed that the backscatter coefficients decreased or stayed on the plateau after heading stage even though the growth of rice canopy advanced.

Carbon neutrality in agriculture can be derived from systematic GHG reduction policies based on quantitative environmental impact analysis of GHG-emitting activities. This study is to explore how to advance the calculation of carbon emissions from agricultural activities to the detailed spatial level to a spatial Tier 3 level (Tier 2.5 level), methodologically beyond the Tier 2 approach. To estimate the GHG emissions beyond the Tier 2.5 level by region for detailed spatial units, we constructed available activity data on carbon emission impact factors such as rice cultivation, agricultural land use, and livestock. We also built and verified detailed data on emission activities at the field level through field surveys. The GHG emissions were estimated by applying the latest national emission factors and regional emission factors according to the IPCC 2019 GL based on the field-level activity data. This study has significance that it explored ways to build activity data and calculate GHG emissions through statistical data and field surveys based on parcels, one of the smallest spatial units for regional carbon reduction strategies. It is expected that by utilizing the activity data surveyed for each field and the emission factor considering the activity characteristics, it will be possible to improve the accuracy of GHG emission calculation and quantitatively evaluate the effect of applying reduction policies.

UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are generally classified into fixed-wing and rotary-wing type, and both have very different flight characteristics each other during photographing. These can greatly effect on the quality of images and their productions. In this paper, the change of the camera rotation angle at the moment of photographing was compared and analyzed by calculating orientation angles of each image taken by both types of payload. Study materials were acquired at an altitude of 130m and 260m with fixed-wing, and at an altitude of 130m with rotary-wing UAV over an agricultural land. In addition, an accuracy comparison of boundary surveying methods between UAV photogrammetry and terrestrial cadastral surveying was conducted in two parcels of the study area. The study results are summarized as follows. The differences at rotation angles of images acquired with between two types of UAVs at the same flight height of 130m were significantly very large. On the other hand, the distance errors of parcel boundary surveying were not significant between them, but almost the same, about within ${\pm}0.075m$ in RMSE (Root Mean Square Error). The accuracy of boundary surveying with a fixed-wing UAV at 260m altitude was quite variable, $0.099{\sim}0.136m$ in RMSE. In addition, the error of area extracted from UAV-orthoimages was less than 0.2% compared with the results of the cadastral survey in the same two parcels used for the boundary surveying, In conclusion, UAV photogrammetry can be highly utilized in the field of cadastral surveying.

Field experiments were conducted to investigate the mode of changes in exchangeable K contents in the soil under the continued(for three years) application of different levels of K fertilizer(KCl) with and without application of conventional compost(CC) and chicken-dung derived compost (CDC) for red pepper cultivation at two field parcels with different exchageable K contents on Gopyong silty loamy soil. The application of KCl at standard rate for red-pepper resulted in the increase in exchangeable K in the soil after each harvest of the crop. while no application of K and the application of KCl at one half of the standard rate tended to lower the exchangeable K in top soil with the cultivation of the crop. The application of compost in addition to KCl ammplified the difference in exchangeable K in the soil before and after the harvest of each crop. An equation could resonably well predict the exchageable K content in top soil after the years of crop cultivation, under different treatments. were developed.
