  • 본 연구는 전북 완주군 동상면 대아리 산1-2번지의 도유림인 속칭 가막골 금낭화군락지의 천연보호구역적 가치를 검토하는 한편 금낭화군락지의 적정 생육환경을 구명하고 이를 바탕으로 금낭화군락지의 보전을 위한 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 시도 되었다. 이를 위해 문헌 및 인터넷조사를 통해 '금낭화의 형태적 생태적 특성'과 '국내 천연기념물 초본군락의 지정현황 및 문제점'을 살펴보는 한편 현지조사를 통해 금낭화군락의 광환경, 토양환경, 식생조건 등을 조사 분석하여 가막골 금낭화군락지의 천연보호구역적 가치를 파악하고자 한 연구 결과는 아래와 같다. 국내 금낭화 자생군락지를 분석한 결과, 금낭화는 전국의 산지에 고루 분포되고 있으며 이 중 완주 가막골 금낭화군락지의 서식규모는 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 금낭화군락지 분포에 대한 문헌 및 현지조사 결과, 준고냉지에서 생육이 월등하며, 생육왕성기인 5월의 풍부한 강수량은 금낭화 생육에 매우 필수적인 것으로 보아 가막골 금낭화군락지는 매우 전형적 기상여건을 보이는 서식지라 판단된다. 한편 금낭화 고밀도분포 군락의 환경 분석 결과, 전석지(轉石地) 토양을 기반으로 고도 300~375m의 범위에 있었으며 평균고도는 344.5m이고 자생지의 좌향(坐向)은 북향 또는 북서향도 포함되나 북동향(NE)이 압도적이었으며 평균 경사는 $19.5^{\circ}$로 나타났다. 또한 광조건 분석 결과, 4월부터 8월까지 생육기간인 5개월간 군락 내 광도는 평균 30,810Lux 이었으며, 생육 초기에는 낮았고 후기로 갈수록 광도는 상승하는 경향이었다. 금낭화 자생조건은 4~5월 생육기에는 약 14,000~18,000Lux 정도의 광조건이었으며, 개화 이후에는 상대적으로 광도 증가와는 관련 없이 결실이 이루어지는 것으로 판단된다. 토양환경 분석 결과, 토양산도(pH)는 표토, 5.2~6.1, 심토, 5.2~6.2로 거의 유사한 범위를 보였으며 표토의 평균 토양pH는 5.54, 심토는 5.58로 이 조건은 비교대상 군락지와 거의 유사하고 전형성이 큰 것으로 추정됨에 따라 가막골의 토양 안정성은 매우 높다고 판단된다. 식생환경 분석 결과, 조사구별 금낭화의 개체수는 13~52개체까지 심한 편차를 보였으나 군락내 발견된 분류군(taxa)은 총 126종류로 순수군락을 유지하면서도 높은 종다양성이 확인되었다. 그리고 대아수목원 금낭화군락지는 금낭화, 미나리냉이, 거북꼬리, 이삭여귀, 물봉선 등이 우점하는 식물사회로 확인되었으며 군락내 식별종(Differential species)은 물봉선, 꼭두서니, 칡, 산딸기와 고추나무, 광대싸리, 개다래로 밝혀짐에 따라 지형 및 토양습도에 따라 전형적 하위군락으로 구분되는 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합할 때, 완주군 동상면 대아리 가막골 금낭화군락지는 탁월한 관상성을 가진 자생식물의 서식처임을 확인할 수 있고, 본 군락은 전국분포상의 금낭화 자생군락으로는 국내 최대 규모로 추정되며 기상 및 지형, 토양조건과 식생환경이 군락지의 지속적인 생육 환경을 보장할 수 있는 매우 탁월한 서식지로 판단된다. 따라서 전형적 서식조건과 지속가능성이 큰 가막골 금낭화군락은 당연히 천연보호구역적 가치가 매우 큰 것으로 사료된다.

  • Today most developed countries provide modern medical care for most of the population. The rural area is the more neglected area in the medical and health field. In public health, the philosophy is that medical care for in maintenance of health is a basic right of man; it should not be discriminated against racial, environmental or financial situations. The deficiency of the medical care system, cultural bias, economic development, and ignorance of the residents about health care brought about the shortage of medical personnel and facilities on the rural areas. Moreover, medical students and physicians have been taught less about rural health care than about urban health care. Medical care, therefore, is insufficient in terms of health care personnel/and facilities in rural areas. Under such a situation, there is growing concern about the health problems among the rural population. The findings presented in this report are useful measures of the major health problems and even more important, as a guide to planning for improved medical care systems. It is hoped that findings from this study will be useful to those responsible for improving the delivery of health service for the rural population. Objectives: -to determine the health status of the residents in the rural areas. -to assess the rural population's needs in terms of health and medical care. -to make recommendations concerning improvement in the delivery of health and medical care for the rural population. Procedures: For the sampling design, the ideal would be to sample according to the proportion of the composition age-groups. As the health problems would be different by group, the sample was divided into 10 different age-groups. If the sample were allocated by proportion of composition of each age group, some age groups would be too small to estimate the health problem. The sample size of each age-group population was 100 people/age-groups. Personal interviews were conducted by specially trained medical students. The interviews dealt at length with current health status, medical care problems, utilization of medical services, medical cost paid for medical care and attitudes toward health. In addition, more information was gained from the public health field, including environmental sanitation, maternal and child health, family planning, tuberculosis control, and dental health. The sample Sample size was one fourth of total population: 1,438 The aged 10-14 years showed the largest number of 254 and the aged under one year was the smallest number of 81. Participation in examination Examination sessions usually were held in the morning every Tuesday, Wenesday, and Thursday for 3 hours at each session at the Namchun Health station. In general, the rate of participation in medical examination was low especially in ages between 10-19 years old. The highest rate of participation among are groups was the under one year age-group by 100 percent. The lowest use rate as low as 3% of those in the age-groups 10-19 years who are attending junior and senior high school in Taegu city so the time was not convenient for them to recieve examinations. Among the over 20 years old group, the rate of participation of female was higher than that of males. The results are as follows: A. Publie health problems Population: The number of pre-school age group who required child health was 724, among them infants numbered 96. Number of eligible women aged 15-44 years was 1,279, and women with husband who need maternal health numbered 700. The age-group of 65 years or older was 201 needed more health care and 65 of them had disabilities. (Table 2). Environmental sanitation: Seventy-nine percent of the residents relied upon well water as a primary source of dringking water. Ninety-three percent of the drinking water supply was rated as unfited quality for drinking. More than 90% of latrines were unhygienic, in structure design and sanitation (Table 15). Maternal and child health: Maternal health Average number of pregnancies of eligible women was 4 times. There was almost no pre- and post-natal care. Pregnancy wastage Still births was 33 per 1,000 live births. Spontaneous abortion was 156 per 1,000 live births. Induced abortion was 137 per 1,000 live births. Delivery condition More than 90 percent of deliveries were conducted at home. Attendants at last delivery were laymen by 76% and delivery without attendants was 14%. The rate of non-sterilized scissors as an instrument used to cut the umbilical cord was as high as 54% and of sickles was 14%. The rate of difficult delivery counted for 3%. Maternal death rate estimates about 35 per 10,000 live births. Child health Consultation rate for child health was almost non existant. In general, vaccination rate of children was low; vaccination rates for children aged 0-5 years with BCG and small pox were 34 and 28 percent respectively. The rate of vaccination with DPT and Polio were 23 and 25% respectively but the rate of the complete three injections were as low as 5 and 3% respectively. The number of dead children was 280 per 1,000 living children. Infants death rate was 45 per 1,000 live births (Table 16), Family planning: Approval rate of married women for family planning was as high as 86%. The rate of experiences of contraception in the past was 51%. The current rate of contraception was 37%. Willingness to use contraception in the future was as high as 86% (Table 17). Tuberculosis control: Number of registration patients at the health center currently was 25. The number indicates one eighth of estimate number of tuberculosis in the area. Number of discharged cases in the past accounted for 79 which showed 50% of active cases when discharged time. Rate of complete treatment among reasons of discharge in the past as low as 28%. There needs to be a follow up observation of the discharged cases (Table 18). Dental problems: More than 50% of the total population have at least one or more dental problems. (Table 19) B. Medical care problems Incidence rate: 1. In one month Incidence rate of medical care problems during one month was 19.6 percent. Among these health problems which required rest at home were 11.8 percent. The estimated number of patients in the total population is 1,206. The health problems reported most frequently in interviews during one month are: GI trouble, respiratory disease, neuralgia, skin disease, and communicable disease-in that order, The rate of health problems by age groups was highest in the 1-4 age group and in the 60 years or over age group, the lowest rate was the 10-14 year age group. In general, 0-29 year age group except the 1-4 year age group was low incidence rate. After 30 years old the rate of health problems increases gradually with aging. Eighty-three percent of health problems that occured during one month were solved by primary medical care procedures. Seventeen percent of health problems needed secondary care. Days rested at home because of illness during one month were 0.7 days per interviewee and 8days per patient and it accounts for 2,161 days for the total productive population in the area. (Table 20) 2. In a year The incidence rate of medical care problems during a year was 74.8%, among them health problems which required rest at home was 37 percent. Estimated number of patients in the total population during a year was 4,600. The health problems that occured most frequently among the interviewees during a year were: Cold (30%), GI trouble (18), respiratory disease (11), anemia (10), diarrhea (10), neuralgia (10), parasite disease (9), ENT (7), skin (7), headache (7), trauma (4), communicable disease (3), and circulatory disease (3) -in that order. The rate of health problems by age groups was highest in the infants group, thereafter the rate decreased gradually until the age 15-19 year age group which showed the lowest, and then the rate increased gradually with aging. Eighty-seven percent of health problems during a year were solved by primary medical care. Thirteen percent of them needed secondary medical care procedures. Days rested at home because of illness during a year were 16 days per interviewee and 44 days per patient and it accounted for 57,335 days lost among productive age group in the area (Table 21). Among those given medical examination, the conditions observed most frequently were respiratory disease, GI trouble, parasite disease, neuralgia, skin disease, trauma, tuberculosis, anemia, chronic obstructive lung disease, eye disorders-in that order (Table 22). The main health problems required secondary medical care are as fellows: (previous page). Utilization of medical care (treatment) The rate of treatment by various medical facilities for all health problems during one month was 73 percent. The rate of receiving of medical care of those who have health problems which required rest at home was 52% while the rate of those who have health problems which did not required rest was 61 percent (Table 23). The rate of receiving of medical care for all health problems during a year was 67 percent. The rate of receiving of medical care of those who have health problems which required rest at home was 82 percent while the rate of those who have health problems which did not required rest was as low as 53 percent (Table 24). Types of medical facilitied used were as follows: Hospital and clinics: 32-35% Herb clinics: 9-10% Drugstore: 53-58% Hospitalization Rate of hospitalization was 1.7% and the estimate number of hospitalizations among the total population during a year will be 107 persons (Table 25). Medical cost: Average medical cost per person during one month and a year were 171 and 2,800 won respectively. Average medical cost per patient during one month and a year were 1,109 and 3,740 won respectively. Average cost per household during a year was 15,800 won (Table 26, 27). Solution measures for health and medical care problems in rural area: A. Health problems which could be solved by paramedical workers such as nurses, midwives and aid nurses etc. are as follows: 1. Improvement of environmental sanitation 2. MCH except medical care problems 3. Family planning except surgical intervention 4. Tuberculosis control except diagnosis and prescription 5. Dental care except operational intervention 6. Health education for residents for improvement of utilization of medical facilities and early diagnosis etc. B. Medical care problems 1. Eighty-five percent of health problems could be solved by primary care procedures by general practitioners. 2. Fifteen percent of health problems need secondary medical procedures by a specialist. C. Medical cost Concidering the economic situation in rural area the amount of 2,062 won per residents during a year will be burdensome, so financial assistance is needed gorvernment to solve health and medical care problems for rural people.
