식물 미생물 연료전지(P-MFC)는 식물과 근계의 미생물 군집에서 전기를 생성하는 바이오매스 활용 에너지 기술로 지속가능한 환경을 고려하는 자연기반해법의 적정기술이다. 국내 수변공간에 적합한 P-MFC 기술 개발을 위해서는 국제적인 연구 동향에 대한 분석이 선행되어야 할 필요가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 Web of Science에서 조회되는 P-MFC 관련 연구논문 총 700편을 대상으로 동시 출현단어 분석 프로그램인 VOSviewer을 사용해 핵심 키워드를 도출하고 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, P-MFC 관련 연구는 1998년부터 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 특히 2010년대 중후반부터 크게 증가 추세에 있다. 국가별 논문 투고 수는 '중국'-'미국'-'인도' 순으로 가장 많았으며 2010년대 이후 P-MFC에 관해 관심이 커지기 시작해 수변공간과 습지 환경이 풍부한 필리핀, 우크라이나, 멕시코 등의 나라에서도 게재 수가 늘어나고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기간별 연구 경향의 경우, 1998년~2015년에는 다양한 환경에서 미생물 연료전지의 성능 검증에 대한 연구가 주를 이루었다. 2016년~2020년에는 미생물 연료전지 사용의 구체적인 조건, P-MFC의 구조 및 발전 방식과 관련된 연구가 주를 이루었다. 2021년~2023년에는 P-MFC 발전 과정의 제약 요소와 효율성 향상을 위한 구체적인 연구가 주로 진행되었다. 본 연구를 통해 파악된 P-MFC 관련 국제적 연구 동향은 향후 국내 수변공간에 적합한 기술 개발 시 유용한 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 향후 본 연구 외에 세부 분야별 연구 동향 및 수준에 대해서도 추가적인 연구가 필요하며 국내에서 P-MFC 기술의 발전과 활성화를 위해서는 현장 적용성에 대한 연구 확대와 정책, 제도적 개선도 병행되어야 할 것이다.
신라는 문무왕 18년(678) 당나라군이 철수함에 따라 명실공히 한반도를 통일한 뒤, 그 판도를 중국 지방행정구획 제도를 모방하여 아홉 개의 주로 구분하고, 거기에 소경 군 현을 배치한 지방행정 조직을 정비하였다. 이른바 9주5소경(九州五小京)이라 불리는 지방행정제도이다. 주는 현재의 대한민국(이하 한국)의 도(道)에 해당하며, 소경은 광역시에 해당하는 것이다. 그 수는 "삼국사기" 신라본기 경덕왕 16년(757) 겨울 12월조에 의하면 5소경, 117군, 293현에 이른다 통일신라시대의 지방도시인 9주5소경(九州五小京)의 연구는 문헌사학 중심으로 이루어져, 주성(州城)과 소경성(小京城)의 위치와 그 도시구조에 대해서는 지금껏 크게 논의되었던 적이 없어 명확치 않은 점이 많다. 고고학적 도시구조의 복원연구는 박태우의 논고("통일신라시대의 지방도시에 대한 연구" 1987년)와 필자의 논고("新の九州五小京城郭の構造と實態について-統一新による計畵都市の復元硏究-"2009년) 정도이다. 강원도 강릉시는 원래 예(濊)의 고국(古國)으로 고구려의 하서량(河西良)이었다. "삼국사기(三國史記)"에 따르면 선덕왕 8년(639)에 북소경 하서양주(北小京; 河西良州))으로 되었는데, 무열왕 5년(658)에 하서주(河西州)로 소경에서 주로 바뀌었다. 이후 경덕왕 16년(757)에는 명주로 개칭되었고 그 뒤, 고려시대 이후로도 명칭은 여러 가지로 변하였다. 박태우는 나성 흔적이 남은 도시로 분류하여 명주동에 있었던 성지로 비정하고 있는데, 현재는 시가지화로 인하여 확인할 수가 없다고 한다. 또한 관동대학교에서는 강릉시 중심부로부터 서남서 약 3km에 위치하는 명주산성을 주치(州治)로 보는 설을 제시하고 있다. 필자는 일제시대의 측량도에서 볼 수 있는 유존(遺存) 토지구획로 보아 경주시의 신라금경이나 다른 많은 도시와 같이 방격의 가구, 즉 방리(坊里)를 갖춘 도시로 복원하였다. 다음은 그 구조에 대해 서술하였다. 강릉의 시가지는 시내를 남서에서 북동으로 흐르는 남대천의 왼쪽 기슭 평탄지에 위치하고 있다. 부근에 그다지 높은 산은 없으나 시가지의 북측에는 산이 동서로 이어져 있으며, 남대천으로부터의 평지부분 너비는 최대가 1km 정도로 그다지 넓지는 않다. 현재는 강릉시의 중심부로 시가지화가 진행되어 강릉역을 중심으로 한 방사상의 구획정리 등도 이루어져 옛 토지구획이 거의 소멸된 상태이다. 그러나 일제시대의 지형도 등을 보면 시가지 중심부인 옥천동, 임당동, 금학동, 명주동 등의 일대에 한 변 약 190m를 기본으로 하는 방격의 토지구획이 북서-남동에 약 0. 8km, 북동-남서에 약 1. 7km의 범위로 잔존하고 있는 것이 확인 가능하다. 방격의 유존 토지구획은 다른 9주5소경(九州五小京)의 사례를 통해 보면 통일신라에 의한 것일 가능성이 높은 것으로 생각된다. 단, 방격 한 변의 길이가 190m로 신라의 금경이나 다른 도시유적에서 볼 수 있는 한 변 160m나 140m의 규격과는 다르다는 점이 앞으로의 검토과제이다. 토지구획의 방위는 지형에 준하여 북서-남동 축에서 북쪽으로부터 약
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.
