Korea was experienced more forest fire occurrence compared to an area. As a forest fire occurrence from man caused burning for a farming increased and was one of the main reasons of forest fire occurrence in Korea, agriculturist-was a main reason of forest fire occurrence-opinion analysis was needed for forest fire prevention from this reason. Therefore, we asked agriculturist who live in province frequently experienced a forest fire from the burning for farming to answer questions. In result, a half of the respondents have a burning experience for farming and the main reason of the burning was the clearance around farmlands. In result of survey about recognition rate of forest fire prevention policy (forest fire season, incineration inhibition within 100 m from forest, license system for burning, joint burning system by a rural community, imposing a fine for burning) was almost high except license system for the burning, In the result about analysis according to ages and provinces, the recognition rate was high in province experienced severe forest fire damage and low in below 40 years group. So, the direction of forest fire prevention policy would need to be mediated in the view of agriculturist who need to use a fire because of farming labor shortage and higher age. And a consolidated education of forest fire prevention would be needed to agriculturist who live in province experienced rarely forest fire and in below 40 years group.

This study analyzed the demographic characteristics, strengths and weaknesses related to information acquisition of local innovation diffusion types. This study use ordered probit model to find strengths and weaknesses of innovation diffusion type in rural area. The individual characteristics of 'formal extension type', 'situational reaction diffusion type', 'agriculturist connection type', and 'systematic approach type', all differentiated according to innovation diffusion type, were analyzed. Following Choi & Choe(2008), immediacy, accessibility, referability, applicability, and satisfaction were the highest in the situational reaction diffusion type, systematic approach type, formal extension type, and farmers connection type, in the order. And there existed organic contexts among individual characteristics. So this study tried to analyze strengths and weaknesses of innovation diffusion type with a focus on immediacy, which emerged as the most important variable in the process of interpreting innovation diffusion. And the strengths and weaknesses of each innovation diffusion type were presented.

영농소각은 한국에서 산불의 주요원인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 영농소각행위에 대한 당사자들의 의식을 파악하기 위해 설문조사를 실시하여, 영농소각의 시기, 소각장소, 소각물질 등에 대한 의식을 구명하였다. 조사결과, 전국적으로 종사자들은 영농활동이 시작되는 3월과 4월 흐린 날 오후 산림연접 100m 이상의 지역의 논, 밭두렁에서 잡초제거를 위해 영농소각을 실시하고 있는 것으로 조사되어, 이러한 영농소각의 산불 확산 방지를 위해 관리 위주의 정책으로 전환을 통해, 소각허가제, 마을 별 공동소각과 같은 정책을 통해 현재의 영농인 요구에 부응하면서, 정책의 홍보와 신기술의 교육 강화, 친환경적인 쓰레기 처리 방법의 보급을 통해 장기적으로 영농소각을 대치시키는 정책이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The oversea export of agricultural-product about item and quantity has not increased recently; especially the fresh-product has a tough issue because of period of production, price large fluctuations, customs clearance, quarantine, and uncertainty about actual locality, we need the information based construction to exchange information quickly about whole range of export and to focus capacity of participation subject for increasing the export. In this study we design the agricultural-product transaction information system based on crowdsourcing to transact the agricultural-product and the information of influencing benefit directly, and the information offering about export-procedure from participation of customs clearance, finance, distribution, buyer, and producer's guild, etc. We expect the producer's guild about agriculture that has not participate the trade to be able to export the agricultural-product and the stabilization of price to transact the product of collapsed or boomed through the agricultural-product information system based on crowdsourcing.

작은 국토 면적에 비해 잦은 산불피해가 발생하는 우리나라에서 영농활동을 위한 소각은 산불의 중요한 원인이므로, 이를 방지하기 위해서는 발화원인자인 영농인들의 의식조사와 관리주체인 산불관련 담당공무원의 의식조사가 필요하다. 이를 위해 영농으로 인한 소각행위가 빈번한 지방자치단체를 대상으로 영농소각으로 인한 산불 금지와 관련된 제도에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과 소각 금지법에 대해 영농종사자들은 대체로 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었으며, 공무원들도 산불예방에 효과가 있다고 인식하는 것으로 보아 소각 금지법은 산불예방을 위해 지속되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 영농종사자와 공무원 모두 공동소각이 산불예방에 효과가 있다고 답변하였으며, 이에 대한 활성화 방안이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 소각 금지 거리 100m에 대한 적정성은 영농종사자와 공무원 집단 모두 긍정적으로 인식하는 것으로 나타났으며, 소각신청 허가서의 산불예방효과에 대해서도 양 집단 모두 긍정적인 인식을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 영농폐기물 소각 근절을 위해 영농종사자들은 '기간 내의 신고에 의한 합법적인 소각'을 가장 필요한 대책이라고 인식하고 있었다.

This study analyzed the characteristics of diverse information adoption pathways per pathway of information composition category including 'information perception', 'information assessment', and 'information adoption' and examined information adoption characteristics per pattern. In addition, differences among agricultural researchers and farmers per information adoption stage were analyzed. According to these analyses, as for farmers' information adoption pathways, while the formal extension type and the situational reaction diffusion type used the direct pathway of 'information perception ${\rightarrow}$ information adoption,'the agriculturist connection type and the systematic approach type did not use the direct pathway of 'information perception ${\rightarrow}$ information adoption' but, instead, adopted information by moving from the 'information perception ${\rightarrow}$ information assessment' pathway to the 'information assessment ${\rightarrow}$ information adoption' pathway, with information assessment as the intermediation. In the case of farmers, information adoption was the highest in comparison with information assessment and information perception in all patterns whereas, in the case of agricultural researchers, the results were exactly opposite those of farmers. By suggesting an information adoption pathway appropriate to each pattern, this study sought to enhance information adoption.

Neem tree (Azadirachta indica), native to the Indian sub-continent, has been known since the ancient time for its medicinal and insect repellent properties. In recent years, Neem has attracted global attention due to its potential as a source of natural drugs and also environment-friendly pesticides. In the households. The distribution and traditional practice on Neem can be important to the agriculturist, ethno-pharmaceutical developers and to the rural development practitioners in Bangladesh. An exploratory survey on the distribution and traditional practice on Neem tree in the rural homesteads of Chittagong coastal plain, Bangladesh, was conducted over a period of three months from September 2002 to November 2002. It was found that maximum, 64% households used seedling as planting material having 40% maximum sources Within the major tree species present in the homesteads, Neem accounted for 12% among the total individuals. It was found that the availability of Neem trees was found maximum, 31%, in the homesteads of medium sized households. Maximum, 42% individuals of Neem were found within the DBH of 10.1 to 20 cm; and 37% within the 3.1 to 6 m height classes. Neem trees were found to be used maximum, 88% for furniture. The findings of the study will be of immense importance for the rural development practitioners and ethno pharmacological developers in Bangladesh.
