Conclusion 1) It showed that the rate of recognition for recycle has no difference by regional groups and the rate of recognition is 57.4% but they mainly know vaguely or they do not know. 2) It showed that the rate they do not know how the separated wastes are recycled is 30.4% and the scope of their knowledge is approximative.(52.6%) 3) It showed that it is the housewives who mainly do the separate garbage collection (72.7%) and 19.1% of the people have no interest in the separate discharge. 4) It showed that the rate they filter the garbage or remove water from the garbage at house is 53.1%. And 20% of the people in the urban region dump untreated wastes but 8.5% of the people in the rural region do the same, so the rate of using garbage in the rural region is higher than that in the urban region. 5) It showed that the separate state of the garbage is 29.2% for the removal of toothpick and paper and 47.4% for the removal of vinyl and stopper. 6) It showed that 66.7% of the motive for recycling waste is the education activity for environment by the women's association and SAEMAEUL association and 34.5% of that is the influence of TV and radio. 7) It showed that the rate of making compost and feed using garbage in the rural region is higher than that in the urban region and in some urban regions, the rate they sprinkle the garbage in provisional compost state on the floor garden is high. 8) It showed that the recognition rate for the material of separately collected garbage corresponding to the separate waste system of 5-6 classification is 12.5% 9) It showed that the major variable which has an effect on the recycle is the education activity for environment by the neighborhood meeting(P<0.05) and by the women's association of saemaeul activity(P<0.05)

여성농업인이 결코 남성보다 적지 않게 농업에 종사하고 있으며, 농가소득에 기여를 함에도 노동에 대한 가치가 인정되지 않고 있다. 농업주종사 여성의 82% 이상이 농업농촌기본법상의 '연간 90일 이상 농업에 종사'하여 실제 농업인이지만, 이를 증명하기 곤란한 상태이다. 이러한 농업인 증명의 어려움으로 정부 정책 및 제도, 상재해 보험 보상시 여성농업인 노동에 대한 가치가 반영되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 개인의 기록이 법정에서 증거자료로 인정된 사례와 법률관계자 자문에 따라 실제 농업에 종사하나 증명이 곤란한 여성 등 가족종사자의 농업인 증명이 가능한 생활일지를 개발하였다. 생활일지 사용자의 편리성을 향상을 위한 현장적용 시험 결과에서 생활일지 기록 습관은 회계관리, 경영활동 및 효율적인 시간관리 등 여성의 전문농업경영 능력을 향상 시킬 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 실제 농업종사자를 직업인 인정이 가능한 법으로 정비되고 제도적 지원이 더 궁극적인 목표이지만, 현실적으로 농업인 범위에서 제외되는 농업종사자를 위한 지위인정 방안이 시급히 마련되어야 한다는 측면에서 생활일지 개발의 의미가 있는 것이다. 이러한 생활일지의 목적이 실생활에서 반영되어 여성농업인의 노동을 증명하는 자료로써 활용해야 할 것이며, 적극적으로 판례를 만들어가는 노력이 필요할 것이다. 더불어 이러한 생활일지 기록활동은 경제활동 주체로서의 자기인식과 농업경영과 관련된 지식 및 자료의 축적에 도움을 제공함으로써, 여성 농업인의 농업경영능력 향상에 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 농촌지역 여성단체의 사회복지 관련 활동이 사회적 자본 형성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아봄으로써 농촌지역 여성단체의 활성화를 도모하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 전남지역 농촌에 거주하고 있는 여성단체에 소속된 자원봉사자 250명을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 통계 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 농촌지역 여성단체의 사회복지 관련활동 정도는 평균 3.36점이었고 사회적 자본형성의 정도는 3.47점으로 이들 점수 모두 중앙치인 3점보다 약간 높은 수치를 나타내 사회복지 관련 활동과 사회적 자본의 형성 정도는 비교적 높은 것으로 보인다. 둘째, 조사대상자인 여성단체 자원봉사자의 사회복지 관련 활동의 정도는 계층인식, 연령, 사회복지 활동횟수, 사회복지 활동기간에 따라 집단 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그리고 사회적 자본형성의 정도는 계층인식, 교육수준, 연령, 사회복지 활동횟수, 사회복지 활동기간, 사회복지 활동분야에 따라 집단 간의 차이를 보이고 있었다. 셋째, 농촌지역 여성단체의 사회복지 관련활동과 사회적 자본형성 간의 관계는 매우 밀접한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 사회적 자본형성에 대한 여성단체 자원봉사자의 사회인구학적 변인과 사회복지 관련 활동의 영향력은 복지에 대한 관심, 계층인식, 복지에 대한 태도 순으로 영향을 미치고 있었으며 이들 변인이 갖는 설명력은 46%로 매우 높았다.

We carried out this study to analyze the effectiveness through health education program in short term which was performed to use the special subject activities. This study was conducted on 63 students who were first grade in S Junior High School from Dec. 1995 to Feb. 1996. To analyze the effectiveness, we performed the Pretest, 1st Posttest, and 2nd Posttest for learned health knowledge. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the students(69.8%) responded that their health were good, and they got the information for health through Mass Com.. The students who had experience of health education were 15.9%, and the 77.8% of the respondents needed the health education. 2. The means of health knowledge on tests were 18.2(Pretest), 21.5(1st Posttest), and 21.4(2nd Posttest). Increase of health knowledge between Pretest and 1st Posttest was 10.9%. 3. The mean of differences between Pretest and 1st Posttest was 3.26, it was significant(p〈0.01). And the mean of differences between Pretest and 2nd Posttest was 3.19, it was significant(p〈0.01);however, the mean of differences between 1st Posttest and 2nd Posttest was not significant(p=0.2514). 4.

The study aims to investigate the factors pursuing the women entrepreneurs to accept Islamic microfinance (IMF) in urban and rural areas of Malaysia. For this purpose, the study applies the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Innovation and Diffusion Theory to explain Islamic microfinance adoption. Using the structural equation model (SEM) with primary data collected from 384-woman entrepreneurs in Malaysia, the current study uses a 5-point Likert scale. On the basis of theory and collected data, the seven hypotheses are developed. All hypotheses are validated by both directly and indirectly, as well as through a mediating factor. Among the factors, knowledge about IMF and subjective norms significantly influence the acceptance of IMF. On the other hand, the perceived complexity does not show any substantial relationship to the acceptance of IMF. This outcome will be helpful in supporting policymakers, academics, and future studies and must take into account the supported factors. Therefore, the study contributes to develop an innovative framework, to create self-employment for women entrepreneurs.

본 연구는 고혈합 진단을 받고 일개 도농복합 2개 지역 12개 보건진료소에 등록된 고혈압 환자 중 연구에 동의한 304명을 대상으로 2004년 6월 21일 ~ 7월 16일까지 4주간에 걸쳐 고혈압 환자들의 약물치료 및 생활요법에 대한 순응정도와 이에 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 실시되었다. 순응군은 약물요법을 꾸준히 하면서 생활요법 측정 점수가 9점 이상인 군으로 하였고, 약물요법은 꾸준히 하지 않거나 생활요법 점수가 9점 미만인 군을 비순응군으로 분류 하였고, 일반적인 특성, 건강신념모델변수, 고혈압에 대한 지식, 자기효능감 등을 조사 하였다. 또한 남자와 여자의 특성이 다를 것으로 생각하고 남녀 각각에 대해 순응군과 비순응군으로 분류하여 통계적인 분석을 실시하였으며, 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 규칙적으로 약물치료를 받는다고 응답한 경우 남자(90.3%), 여자(93.3%), 생활요법을 실행 한다고 응답한 경우 남자(452%), 여자(56.4%)로 나타났다. 2. 남자는 교육수준이 높을수록 고혈압에 대한 순응군이 높았으며 통계적으로 유의하였다(p<0.05). 3. 남녀순응군에 있어서 자기효능감 점수가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 여자순응군에 있어서 고혈압에 대한 지식 점수가 유의 하게 높았다(p<0.05). 4. 건강신념모델 변수와 관련해서는 남자에서는 감수성과 유익성, 여자에서는 심각성, 유익성, 장애도가 유의한 변수였다(p<0.05). 5. 순응군과 비순응군을 종속변수로 한 다중로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 남자에 있어서는 교육수준, 자기효능감이 여자에 있어서는 고혈압에 대한 지식, 자기효능감, 유익성이 통계적으로 유의한 변수로 나타났다(p<0.05). 고혈압 환자의 관리에 있어 약물치료 못지않게 중요한 것은 생활습관의 개선이다. 보건진료소에 등록된 고혈압 환자의 경우 대부분 규칙적인 약물치료를 받고 있어, 보건진료원은 이에 대한 정기적인 확인과 더불어 잘못된 생활습관을 고칠 수 있도록 하고 효과적인 보건교육을 통해 고혈압에 대한 올바른 지식을 습득하도록 하여야겠다. 또한 환자들을 대상으로 자기효능감을 높일 수 있는 방안을 모색하여 생활습관 개선을 통한 합병증 예방 등 순응에 따른 유익성에 대해 보다 적극적으로 인지시켜야겠다.

This research evaluated and analyzed the level of acceptability of spinach according to blanching time by testing consumer taste of corresponding countries for the purpose of globalizing Korean food. General taste, appearance, flavor, and texture of spinach blanched for 20 seconds were highly evaluated by Koreans and Japanese ($p$<0.05), who are used to the method of slightly blanching, mixing, and eating spinach. On the other hand, general taste, appearance, flavor, and texture of spinach blanched for 5 minutes was highly evaluated by the French ($p$<0.05), who are used to eating boiled spinach. Concerning the result of JAR, there were clear differences in hardness and boiling level according to country among spinach samples, even though they were blanched for the same time and mixed with the same spices. Koreans and Japanese evaluated that hardness and boiling level of spinach blanched for 20 seconds were proper, whereas the French evaluated that spinach scalded for 20 seconds was too raw and crispy. Under the same context, French consumers evaluated that hardness and boiling level of spinach blanched for 5 minutes was proper, whereas Koreans and Japanese evaluated that spinach blanched for 5 minutes was boiled too much. These results show that familiarity level is an important driver of affecting the preference levels for three kinds of spinach according to country.
