  • 본 질적연구는 '아래로부터의 관점(bottom-up approach)'에 근거하여 빈곤 여성 한부모의 자활 경험을 재구성하였다. 국가와 지역사회가 제공하는 복지가 "쓰러진 그들의 손을 잡아 일으켜 준", "남편 대신"이었다는 연구참여자들의 메시지를 통해 '복지의존'은 그들 스스로와 자녀의 삶을 지켜내는데 긴요한 도움으로 확인되었다. 또한 그들에게 자활이란 '복지의존으로부터 벗어난 상태'라기보다 '복지의존을 통해 이루어갈 수 있는 과정적 지향'이며, 경제력 외에도 자존감을 세우고 자신의 가치를 찾을 수 있는 일을 통해 찾아나갈 수 있는 길이다. 빈곤 여성 한부모의 자활을 돕기 위해서는 '일을 통한 탈수급'의 성급한 초점보다는 그들이 겪고 있는 심리사회적 스트레스를 다루어 자활 잠재력을 복원하고 장기적 차원의 자활을 성취하는데 필요한 직업 능력 개발과 자녀 보육 및 교육 지원 서비스의 확충이 선행되어야 한다. 한편 현재 자활 사업이 참여자들에게 비추어진 '종속과 낙인'의 이미지를 벗고 근로연계복지의 애초 의미를 살리기 위해서는, 사업 참여 동기와 과정에 대한 내부자관점을 반영하는 수행 및 평가시스템을 갖추고 그들의 욕구와 관심에 따른 맞춤형 자활사업을 개발하는 것이 필요하다.

  • 최근 지역별 차등 전기요금제 도입과 전력 자급률에 관한 논의가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 우리나라는 발전 시설의 편재성이 상당히 높고 전기 생산과 소비지역 간 불균형이 존재하기에 현행 전국 동일 전기요금제를 대신해서 지역별로 다른 요금을 부과하자는 것이며, 전기 생산과 소비지역을 구분·식별하는 기준으로서 지역별 전력 자급률이 제시되고 있다. 그런데 상당수 논의에서 전력 자급률을 측정하는 공간 단위를 17개 시·도 지역으로 설정하고 있는데, 그 적절성에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 전력 자급률을 17개 시·도 그리고 229개 시·군·구를 공간 단위로 설정하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 시·도 단위에서는 전기 생산량이 소비량보다 많은 지역이 7곳, 그 반대가 10곳이지만 시·군·구 단위에서는 각각 38곳과 191곳이었다. 아울러 전력 자급률 측정은 간단하고 직관적으로 전기 생산과 소비지역을 파악할 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 전기요금의 지역 차등의 기준으로는 몇몇 문제가 있음을 지적한다.

  • Food Self-sufficiency rate in Korea was 26.4 percent in 1996. It include $89.9{\%}$ for rice, $99.6{\%}$ for root and tuber crops, and $73.5{\%}$ for barley. To make things worse, self-sufficiency for wheat and corn were far less than 1 percent. As food is considered as weapon, every effort should be given to increase the self-sufficiency. In order to cope with expected food crisis, we suggest wheat and barley be grown in winter period, where there is climate fit. The aim of this paper is to survey systematically the status of food supply and demand of wheat and barley and to encourage farmers make double cropping systems with better stability in yield and economic return.

  • Many reclaimed tideland projects in Korea have been conducted to secure the food self-sufficiency. In fact, the domestic food self-sufficiency has been greatly improved and reclaimed tideland projects contribute to Korea's economic and social development directly or indirectly replacing agricultural lands from urbanization, industrialization. As result, current self-sufficiency of rice reach the demand(104.6%) while rate of upland crops has less than 30% of self-sufficiency rate and corn, wheat, soybeans, etc. are virtually dependent on imports. Domestic price of crop is expected to be unstable by trend of international grain prices. Therefore, developing reclaimed tidelands as upland which is originally constructed for paddy fields could be a good option to become steady in domestic crop market and dedicate to ensure a stable food security. The study to prepare measures for dealing with disasters in reclaimed tidelands of west coast district is required in order to utilize those sites for infra construction of multi-utilization in those sites and The result of flooding analysis in this study can suggest policy direction for practical utilization of reclaimed tidelands in yellow sea area.

  • The purpose of this study was aimed to investigate the historical tends of population growth which has reflected direct effect of the ratio of food self sufficiency in Korea between the year of 1910 and 1980. Author divided the whole years between 1910 and 1980 into five different periods ; colonial period from 1910 to 1945, post colonial period from 1945 to 1950, Korean war period from 1950 to 1955, post Korean war period from 1955 to 1960, fast economic growing period 1960~1980. The ratio of national food self sufficiency has been profoundlly affected by dual factors ; rate of population group and increment of GNP which reflect the national economic development. Total food production never reached the level of population growth ratio in Korea. As a result food demand and supply has shown imbalaced condition which leads to import foods from outside contury to compensate food shortage. The increment of GNP sharply cut down the cereal consumption. The consumption of fish, milk, eggs and meat reflected to increase since 1970.

  • This paper examines the climatic and technical feasibilities of zero energy buildings in Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Riyadh. Annual and seasonal energy demands of office buildings of various scales in the above cities were compared. Using optimally tilted rooftop PV panels, solar energy production potentials of the buildings were estimated. Based on the estimates of onsite renewable energy production and building energy consumption, the energy self-sufficiencies of the test buildings were assessed. The economic feasibilities of the PV systems in the four locations were analyzed. Strategies for achieving zero energy buildings are suggested.

  • The major problems of food crop cultivation in Korea are low yield of most crops except rice. inefficient cultivation techniques for aged farmers. and low international competibility. Therefore, development of cultivation techniques of food crops should aim the yield. quality improvement, labor reduction and production cost. The primary issue for increasing the yield of soybean, barely and wheat is to reduce the yield gap between the farmer's yield and recommended ones of experiment station. More advanced cultivation techniques needs to be developed. and/or the conventional breeding methods to be reconsidered. The newly developed labor-saving mechanized technique needs to reduce labor hours , and the cost of agricultural implements and machineries. In other words the labor-saving mechanized technique should be developed based on the improvement of total farming system as well as systemic fundamental innovation of cultural methods. The efficiency of solar energy use in food production of Korea in 1997 is as low as $0.52{\%}$ so there is much room to increase yield. It is recommendable that the concept of food Production should be changed to energy Producing efficiency Per unit area basis from volume and weight of food materials. Moreover, introduction of resonable cropping system is needed to increase yield of main crops, farmer's income, solar energy use efficiency, and decrease of land service expenditure. Current cropping system emphasized on economic crops. especially in vegetables , is not desirable for resonable use of arable land. stability of agricultural management and staple food crop self-sufficiency ratio. It is desirable to increase food crops . that are energy of carbohydrate and protein rich and land dependent crops. in cropping system. And the agronomist should develop the cultural methods to replace food crops for food self-sufficiency and stable farming management instead of economic crops in current cropping system. Low-input and environmentally-sound crop cultivation techniques, especially nitrogen-reducing culture technique which is directly related to food crop quality, also needs to be developed urgently. The extended cultivation of corn in upland and barely and wheat in lowland as a feed stuffs is recommended to prevent further decrease of food self-sufficiency ratio, which is mainly caused by the high reliance on imported feed grain. It is also considered that the calculation and presentation methods of standard agricultural income needs to be improved. The current calculation method uses unit land area of 10a regardless of crop kinds , characteristics of agricultural management and cultivation scale. So, it is apt to lead misunderstanding of farm income value. Therefore. it should show an income of average farmers for certain number of years. Research and developing system for food producing is not desirable because they are conducted currently individual crop and mono-culture basis. But actual agricultural income is usually earned by cropping system including upland and lowland. For example. the barley and wheat is usually cultivated in double cropping system. The cooperation among research institutes such as university agribusiness. government and farmers is indispensible. The public information and education on importance and consumption habit of food crops is necessary in Korean society to increase food self-sufficiency through nationwide cooperation.

  • The concept of food security has gained increasing attention during the food crisis period between 2006 and 2011. According to the FAO, food security is defined as an access by all people at all times to the food needed for healthy and active life. Achieving food security means that sufficient food is available, food supply is relatively stable, and those in need of food can afford food at a reasonable cost. After a short period of stable food prices the world is facing another food crisis due mainly to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion over Ukraine. Food security has re-emerged as an urgent problem to the world. There have been two conflicting opinions about how to achieve food security. Agricultural exporting countries insist diversification of food sources and freer trade on the top of domestic self-reliance. On the other hand, food importing countries emphasize self-sufficiency of major food crops. This study investigates whether domestic agricultural production contributes to strengthening food security. The panel data analysis shows that the increase in food self-sufficiency raises the Global Food Security Index and lessens the probability of food riots, while lower import tariffs (implying freer trade) do not. Some related issues are discussed accordingly.
