This study was carried out to investigate the status and development direction of horse riding industry for rural development of Korea. Library research and field survey were conducted to collect relevant data such as number of horse and size of horse farms, facilities for horse riding and educational institutions for youths and farmers and the results obtained were as follows : Only a few institutions among high schools, colleges and universities were observed to deliver horse riding programs. For farmers, no equestrian specialist was available in agricultural extension offices. Horse meat is consumed mostly in Jeju Island in Korea. Relevant institutions should be also strengthened including formal and nonformal education for horse riding and much more schools and universities should adopt horse riding program for the training of youths and farmers. Considering the obesity problem, the nutritional composition of horse meat is better than those of pork or beef, so promotion of horse meat consumption also should be strengthened.

글로벌 금융위기 이후로 전 세계적으로 청년들의 고용률이 하락하고 있으며 우리나라의 경우에도 더 악화된 실정이다. 최근 들어 청년고용과 창업과 관련하여 다양한 정부정책의 시행으로 고용률이 적게나마 회복되고 있으며 많은 청년창업가를 배출하고 있다. 또한 귀농과 귀촌을 장려하고 청년농업가를 양성하기 위한 제도가 확대되면서 다양한 형태의 청년농업기업이 생겨나고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 청년농촌기업을 창업하고 경영함에 있어 CEO의 개인적 특성과 정부의 지원정책이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 최근 첨단기술이 도입된 농업 현장의 트렌드를 고려하여 ICT환경특성이 청년창업 농촌기업의 미치는 효과를 분석해 보고자 했다. 본 연구를 통해 향후 청년들이 농촌기업을 창업함에 있어 성과를 내기 위한 중요한 요소가 무엇인가를 알 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구의 결과로 세 가지의 시사점을 알 수 있었다. 첫째는 청년창업 농촌기업의 성과를 위해서 CEO의 개인적 특성이 중요하다는 것이다. 둘째는 지원정책에 있어 교육지원은 성과에 영향을 끼치지만 자금지원 정책은 유의한 영향을 주지 못한다는 것이다. 셋째는 ICT의 환경특성은 CEO개인특성 및 지원정책과 기업성과 간에 영향을 주지 않고 있기 때문에 ICT의 환경특성의 발전보다는 현장에서 직접 활용하는 방법을 강구하는 것이 더욱 중요한 요소임을 알 수 있다.

The study aims to assess the impact of factors on the access to financial services by Vietnamese farmers. The number of respondents in this study is 402 household heads participating in six diverse agricultural value chains in Vietnam. The explanatory variables of the Multinomial Logit model estimates variables at the individual characteristics while the Mixed Logit model can combine the two types of variables together to estimate the effects simultaneously. On the other hand, the Ordinal Logit model is used to evaluate the determinants of the increase in the quantity of financial services used by individuals. The estimation results show that male-headed households have more access to financial services than females. Younger farmers are more likely to use formal financial services than the elderly. Financial literacy, land ownership, and shocks in agricultural production all have a positive impact on the probability of dealing with banks. In addition, the degree of linkage and credibility of the value chain have a significant positive impact on the accessibility of financial services to farmers. The findings of this study suggest that limiting gender inequality, focusing on youth marketing and developing agricultural value chains will have a positive impact on farmers' access to financial services.

본 연구에서는 농촌지역 소멸 대응 방안을 탐색하기 위해 전남 무안군을 연구 표집지역으로 선정하고, 무안군 청년농업인 95명을 대상으로 영농실태와 애로사항 등을 살펴보았다. 그리고 지역 맞춤형 청년농업인 육성 및 지원 정책 또는 사업을 발굴하기 위해 요인분석과 군집분석을 통해 무안군 청년농업인을 유형화하였다. 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아직까지 무안군의 청년농업인 지원 관련한 조례(법), 독창적인 사업은 없다. 둘째, 무안군 청년농업인의 농지 승계 비율은 41.1%로 전국 청년농업인 43.7%와 비슷하게 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 통해 우리나라 청년농업인의 약 40% 정도는 가장 중요한 영농기반인 농지를 승계받은 것으로 추측된다. 셋째, 영농경력이 쌓인 청년농업인에게 지역생활 여건은 전혀 개선되지 않고, 오히려 어려움이 강화되고 있다. 넷째, 본 연구에서는 총 21개의 변수를 활용해 요인분석을 실시한 결과, 공통인자 7개가 선정되었고, 이를 활용해 군집분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 무안군 청년농업인은 총 3개 집단으로 유형화되었다. 그리고 다항로짓 분석결과, 청년농업인 유형화를 위한 지표로는 경작 면적, 영농경력, 스마트팜 수요, 농가소득, 영농형태(쌀 재배 여부) 등을 고려할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 청년농업인의 유입을 유도하고 농촌지역 소멸을 방지하기 위하여 지역의 정주여건과 함께 농지 등의 영농기반에 대한 진입장벽을 최소화하는 정책적 노력이 필요하다.
