  • 본 연구는 소비자의 친환경 농산물에 대한 반응과 친환경 농산물 구입의향에 미치는 영향요인을 체계적으로 규명하기 위해 경험적 통계학적 분석을 시도함으로써 소비 확대와 친환경 농업정책 수립을 위한 시사점을 발견하는데 목적을 두었다. 소비자들의 친환경 농산물에 대한 인식의 정도와 주요 구입처, 친환경 농산물의 단점, 친환경 농산물을 구입하지 않는 이유 등 구입 실태에 대한 것은 설문조사를 통하여 살펴보았고 이를 토대로 친환경 농산물 구입의향에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 살펴보기 위하여 가설을 설정하고 그 가설을 검증하기 위해서 ANOVA분석, 상관분석으로 변수들의 관계를 살펴보았으며, 다중회귀분석을 통하여 가설을 검증하였다. 친환경 농산물에 대한 소비자 성향 분석 결과 친환경 농산물에 대한 구입이 있는 소비자는 전체 응답자의 88.2%였으며, 채소류를 가장 많이 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 구매이유는 건강이나 질병치료를 위해서가 많았으며, 대부분 소비자들이 친환경 농산물의 가격이 높아 구입이 어렵다는 의견도 많았다. 그리고 일반농산물과의 선호도에서는 85.8%가 친환경 농산물에 대해 긍정적으로 생각하고 있었으며, 장래에도 가격이 저렴하고, 재배 유통과정이 확실하면 계속 구입하겠다는 의견이 89.3%로 나타났다. 따라서 친환경 농산물에 대한 소비자 의향에서 나타난 친환경 농산물의 소비 저해 요인을 최소화하고 소비를 확대시키기 위해서는 재배 및 유통 과정을 투명하게 소비자에게 알려 소비자가 신뢰할 수 있도록 철저한 품질인증 관리와 함께 관행재배 농산물이 유사 판매되지 않도록 하며, 잔류 농약으로부터 안전한 건강식품이라는 것을 소비자에게 인식시키는 일이 무엇보다 중요할 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 친환경 농산물 판로를 다양하게 하고, 고소득층이 사는 지역을 대상으로 일반 생필품과 함께 친환경 농산물을 구입할 수 있는 장소를 확대하는 한편, 생산 및 유통 판매 과정에서 발생되는 비용이 절감시켜 지나치게 높은 가격으로 판매되지 않도록 하여 친환경 농산물이 일반 농산물보다 더 비싸게 받아야 하는 이유를 소비자가 납득할 수 있도록 근거를 제시하는 등 소비 확대 노력이 전개되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • The persistence of drought periods and water scarcity is a growing public concern, as climate change projections indicate a more critical scenario in the future. The sustainability of water resources for the increasing population, and to ensuring crop production will unarguably be a daunting task for the water resources managers, with a projected 9.8 billion people by 2050 as well as the need to increase food production by 70 to 100%. Consequently, there is a need for significant irrigation water use for more crop production in the face of stiff competition among water users. However, the available natural resources are already over-constrained, and the allocation of more resources for food production is not feasible. Currently, about two-thirds of global water withdrawer is used by the agricultural sector while 48% of water resources in Korea is used for agricultural production. Despite the apparent ecological deficit and unfavorable conditions of resources utilization, a staggering amount of food waste occurs in the country. Moreover, wastage of food translates to waste of all the resources involved in the food production including water resources. Food waste can also be considered a serious potential for economic and environmental problems. Hence, exploring an alternative approach to efficient resources utilization in a more sustainable way can ensure considerable resources conservation. We hypothesized that reducing food waste will decline the demand for food production and consequently reduce the pressure on water resources. We investigated the food wastage across the food supply chain using the top-down datasets based on the FAO mass balance model. Furthermore, the water footprint of the estimated food wastage was assessed using the representative of selected food crops. The study revealed that the average annual food wastage across the food supply chain is 9.05 million tonnes, signifying 0.51 kg/capita/day and 48% of domestic food production. Similarly, an average of $6.29Gm^3$ per annum of water resources was lost to food wastage, which translates to 40% of the total allotted water resources for agriculture in the country. These considerable resources could have been conserved or efficiently used for other purposes. This study demonstrated that zero food waste generation would significantly reduce the impact on freshwater resources and ensure its conservation. There is a need for further investigation on the food waste study using the bottom-up approach, specifically at the consumer food waste, since the top-down approach is based on estimations and many assumptions were made.

  • The exposed strain of C. riparius treated with di (ethyl- hexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) did not result in a consistent relationship between mortality or sex ratio and chemical concentrations. And after treating with DEHP, the emergent female from the exposed strain appeared to be fatty with a large body volume comparing with the non - exposed strain. The emergent period (EP) was especially different between the exposed fourth strain and the non-exposed strain; generally the exposed strain was $7\~10$ days, and non - exposed strain was $17\~24$ days. Regarding sustainable exposed effects, the EP, the first emergent day (FED), and the body volume (BV) could be suggested as suitable bio - markers for detecting of exposure to various EDCs.

  • Korea has entered into the Post Catching-up era and the necessity of new innovation strategy in response is being raised. This study argues the necessity of new innovation strategy and discusses the issue of co-ordination between R&D and Human Resource for that as the key factor. From empirical analysis, there seems to be restricted inflow of outstanding human resources to manufacturing sectors and lowering effectiveness of major even with the improved compatibility between major and job. Especially, it is severe in the industries with high R&D investment. It can be interpreted as an incoordination of the technological innovation efforts from the aspect of R&D investment with human resource utilization from the aspect of new human resource. The analytical result and interpretation suggests that there should be more active improvement on the co-ordination between innovative manufacturers' efforts and human resource utilization, in order to keep sustainable development.

Recently, many of the apartment housings are built in domestic country. The apartment buildings have been constructed since early of 1970's. now apartment is taking over 50% out of entire housing in korea. The apartment housing applying to a photovoltaic system has been extensively studied in the foreign country but our county runs short. So, It was necessary to technical development of PV application which is suitable in Korean house culture. The objective of this study is to develop the building integrated PV application method for apartment building.

  • Recently, many of rural villages are pursuing rural tourism to attract citizens and increase nonfarm income. A key of rural village plan utilizing rural amenity resources is to make sustainable villages considering regional character and potential for development that will work for the residents. In this study, we analyzed Rural Amenity Design Competition winning works which will be possible solutions to make proper plans for rural village and applied these contents to study areas. Three villages were selected as study areas and more than two types of amenity utilization were settled for planning direction for each village to have specialized and unique plan. Through Rural Amenity Design Competition which is being held annually, we will be able to get more data throughout rural area and verify trend of rural village planning. By selecting theme of the competition reflects needs of the time, more detailed and original ideas on amenity village planning can be drawn and this will contribute to proper and stable village planning.

  • Potassium is a macronutrient that is crucial for healthy plant growth. Potassium availability, however, is often limited in agricultural fields and thus crop yields and quality are reduced. Therefore, improving the efficiency of potassium uptake and transport, as well as its utilization, in plants is important for agricultural sustainability. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms involved in potassium uptake and transport in plants, and the molecular response of plants to different levels of potassium availability. Based on this information, four strategies for improving potassium use efficiency in plants are proposed; 1) increased root volume, 2) increasing efficiency of potassium uptake from the soil and translocation in planta, 3) increasing mobility of potassium in soil, and 4) molecular breeding new varieties with greater potassium efficiency through marker assisted selection which will require identification and utilization of potassium associated quantitative trait loci.
