Recently, controversy over intellectual property rights for protecting genetic resources and traditional knowledge has been emerging. Very active debates and global discussions are being carried out in various international organizations for possible approaches to be taken for these properties, and for the fair and equal sharing of the benefits from these intellectual properties. There is a need to evaluate adopting a sui generis system which is being pushed by developing nations, or adopting a policy which will guaranteee benefit sharing such as sharing royalties from marketing final products, technical transfers, capacity building, and participating in research activities. Also, it is very important to examine the legal issues concerning genetic resources based on Convention on Biological Diversity for the fair and equal sharing of the benefits with developing nations, at the same time assuring developed nations of access to genetic resources.

The main purpose of this research was to study and analyze the actual utilization of traditional knowledge resources and to search for methods to activate local communities through utilization of traditional knowledge resources best suited for us. For this study, data listed on the internal web sites during August 2002 to October 2002 were searched and analyzed. In terms of statistical analysis, frequency, percentage, and x$^2$-test were operated using the SPSS 10.0 program. The major results of this study are as follows: 1) Traditional knowledge resources utilized throughout the nation totaled to 8,906 cases. These utilized resources composed of 48.0% of tangible resources, 32.3% of environmental resources, and 19.8% of intangible resources and such utilized resources were in order of life-skill, scenery, ruins and relics, community activity, exhibition, and folklores. 2) Tourism, merchandising, and festival were the major types of utilization of traditional knowledge resources, while education was the relatively minor portion in utilization type. 3) Compound linking of traditional knowledge resources, utilization type, and utilizing body showed links such as life skill-merchandising-civilian, ruins and relics-tourism-government, folklore-festival-civilian, scenery-tourism-government, and exhibition-education-civilian.

The study uses agricultural knowledge system theory to explore how traditional knowledge applies to the linkage system of agricultural research and extension in rural Korea. By agricultural knowledge system we emphasize the dynamic networks of actors, processes of negotiation, and the diverse ways in which knowledge is constructed and performed. The knowledge systems reflect the idea that the boundaries between knowledge groups are not closed and that there could be considerable overlap between knowledge system. The results of this study are the following : First, we should know that some extension agents clearly value farmer knowledge and try to facilitate farmer-to-farmer communication. Extension plays a significant role in the knowledge-creation process and shaping communities because knowledge processes are embedded in social processes that involve aspects of power, authority, and legitimization. Third, the constructions of agricultural knowledge systems thus include social interactions, communication, and the diverse processes individuals employ create, use, and evaluate multiple types and sources of information through the linkage between agricultural colleges and Rural Development Administration (RDA), establishing the research institution of research and extension linkage, exchange research agent with extension agent, and bottom-up approach. Second, we should know that the focus of traditional knowledge development is rural community development as a community process. Nowadays the sessions of the Intergovernmental Committee of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) cover two lines of inquiry, which are the use of existing standards of intellectual property for the protection of traditional knowledge and that of new legal standards, eventually in the from of sui generis mechanisms of protection.

법제도는 사회현상을 적절히 규제함을 그 목적으로 하고 있고, 그 규율의 대상인 사회현상에 있어서의 분쟁가능성을 최소화하고 아울러 법적 생활의 안정성을 도모하여야 하는 것이다. 또한 예측 가능한 범위내에서 닥쳐 온 미래의 사회현상에 대하여도 대비하여야 하는 것이다. 통신인프라의 발달은 의사나 정보의 교환방식에 대한 획기적인 변화를 가능하게 하였고, 이른바 전자적 방식에 의한 정보, 문서의 교환이라 할 수 있는 전자문서교환(Electronic Data Interchange), CALS(Commerce At Light Speed) 또는 전자상거래(Electronic Commerce)라는 개념이 등장하기에 이르렀다. 그러나 기본적으로 종이문서에 기반을 두고 마련된 기존 각국의 법제도는 이러한 새로운 형식의 거래를 규율함에 있어 적합치 않은 점이 많이 있을 뿐 아니라, 현재 우리나라의 해당분야의 전자문서교환을 개별적으로 규율하는 특별법에 의하더라도 해결되지 아니하는 많은 문제점을 발견할 수 있다. 이하에서는 인터넷 환경하에서의 전자상거래와 관련한 각국에서의 활용현황 및 제도적 준비를 검토한 위 우리나라의 현행법 체계의 문제점을 점검함과 아울러 입법의 기본원칙과 입법 항목을 점검해 보고자 한다.
