This study segmented the market of senior rural tourists and analyzed their characteristics. A two-stage cluster analysis was used to analyze the types of senior rural tourists, and the difference in general characteristics and behavioral intention by segmented market was identified. In this study, data from the fact-finding survey on rural tourism 2022 were used, and 487 cases of senior with rural tourism experience in the past year were used for analysis. A total of three types of senior rural tourists were derived based on the motivation for rural tourism, annual expenditure for rural tourism, experience living in rural areas, and relationship with rural area. The segmentation market of senior rural tourists was found to be 'rural attachment type', 'rural curiosity type', and 'rural indifference type'. The results of this study suggest that the general characteristics and behavioral intentions of senior rural tourists differ according to the segment. The results of this study will be useful information in establishing effective marketing strategies targeting senior rural tourists.

Although modern versions of the traditional Von $Th{\ddot{u}}nen$ theory have contributed to a description of spatial organization in agriculture, they did not incorporate the market mechanism as an integral part of location theory. This deficiency has been indicated and new mathematical structure has been proposed elsewhere by the author. The closed model, which simultaneously considered a basic principle of supply and demand, exposed a computational complexity. Based on the problem, this study attempts to extend market mechanism in order to consider the influence of city (market) size in agricultural location theory. To theoretically explore the economic relationship in a location theory, this study simplifies agricultural activity as just two activities in one-dimensional spatial economy. The problem has been solved by equating total supply and demand of agricultural products, and then by determining each agricultural price from the relationship. All of the mathematical problems have been arranged in matrix form. First, the traditional model and closed model have been compared by quantitative comparative statics which provides the sensitivity test for each model. The results have shown that the traditional model shows a relatively excessive change in land use, besides the deficiency of a constant agricultural price. Second, the effects of the size of market town and its population increase were examined, using the closed model. In this case, the price of agricultural product is increased, and the land use is extended outward. This proves that locational rent is related to the expansion of land use. Third, environmental uncertainty was associated with the closed model, in order to further consider the difference of farmers attitude in strategic perspective. In this study, two extreme attitudes, which reflects the maximum average expected returns and the maximum guaranteed returns, were examined in their land use and their effects on the prices of agricultural products. It was shown that the two farmers attitudes can be interconnected with location theory. Due to the exogenous data, the differences in the area of land use and total quantities of agricultural products were not clearly shown in this study. However, it was shown that the land use pattern is very different. That is, maximum guaranteed return model reveals a mixed land use pattern around the market town. Basically, this study shows some spatial and economic implications related to Von $Th{\ddot{u}}nen$ model.

As the number of scaled-up ranches increased and agile responses to market changes became possible, decision-making by Hanwoo cattle farms also began to affect short-term shipments. Considering the changing environment of the Hanwoo supply market and the response speed of producers, it is necessary quickly to grasp the forecast ahead of time and to respond accordingly in an effort to stabilize supply and demand in the Hanwoo market. In this study, short-term forecasting model centered on the supply of Hanwoo was established. The analysis conducted here indicates that the slaughter of Hanwoo males increases by 0.248 as the number of beef cattle raised over 29 months of age in the previous month increases by one, and 0.764 Hanwoo females were slaughtered under average conditions for every Hanwoo male slaughtered. With regard to time, the slaughtering of Hanwoo was higher in January and August, which are months known for holiday food preparation activities for the New Year and Chuseok in Korea, respectively. Simulations indicated that errors were within 10% in all simulations performed through the Hanwoo supply model. Accordingly, it is considered that the estimation results from the supply model devised in this study are reliable and that the model has good structural stability.

Korea and USA reach an agreement with FTA. Korea's National Assembly will be to ratify the FTA. Korean agriculture was insufficiently competitive. FTA will be inflicted severe losses to Korean agriculture. But taking for granted that neoliberalism and economic globalization as the irrevocable currency of the international economic order, it is time to devote ourselves into discussing appropriate responses policy to minimize domestic agricultural loss and to improve agricultural competitiveness. There will never be another opportunity like this. It's now or never. Korean government and farmer have done various things, but basically their effort have to concentrate on three forms: fill the needs of an old market, create a need and a new export market, and adapt to a new market. This paper was an exploratory study of Korea－USA. FTA and paving the way for further studies on FTA in Korean agriculture. The objectives of this study Korea and USA reach an agreement with FTA.

The objectives of this study were 1)to explore the agricultural policy of Korean government, 2)and to explore the present condition of Korean agriculture, 3)and looking for responses direction of Korean agricultural policy to FTA, 4)to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean agriculture. Korean government give a subsidy not to strengthen the competitiveness but to soothe the dissatisfaction. It is necessary for Korean government to switch from public money investment to strengthen the competitiveness.

Hirudin is a potent thrombin inhibitor originally derived from the medicinal leech. Leeches were commonly used at the turn of the century for bloodletting and are still used today in some countries. So, hirudin is being developed as a alternative to heparin which has several shortcomings. This study is intended to analyze R&D trends, potential market for hirudin and existing anticoagulant drug market. Anticoagulant drug market in Korea is estimated by over 1,200 billion won in 2010 and revenues in the world market are forecasted to reach 1.62 billion dollar in 1999.

This study analyzed and evaluated the effect of agricultural water reduction by introducing automated agricultural water management using alternative cost approach. The approach is possible to evaluate none market property as an asset. The saved agricultural water was evaluated as none market property. As the alternative goods, Seongju and Donghwa dam, typical irrigation dams in domestic, were employed. The economic benefit from water saving effect of an automated agricultural water management was calculated as depreciation expense and maintaining cost of construction agricultural dam per saved agriculture water. As a result, the saved agriculture water was 8.5 million ton per year, and the economic benefit of it was $1.3{\sim}2.1$ million won.

An efficient agricultural marketing system is very important to producers and consumers to keep the reasonable prices. In these days, the main policy for the efficient agricultural marketing system is to enlarge the direct transaction market. But it is not easy to enlarge the direct transaction market in a few years. This paper proposes a new efficient agricultural marketing system that gives a similar effect with the direct market. The proposed system is mainly composed of three associations; producers', consumers' and retailers'association, and the function of the system is devided into material affairs and commercial affairs. The structure of the system also can be simplified as two to three steps. So the system can reduce the cost of logistics and keep the reasonable prices for both producers and consumers.

According to the TRQ system created by WTO agreement on agriculture, Korea notified the WTO of the application of tariff rate quotas for 67 agricultural commodities(now, 63 commodities). Among these government administrate state-operated trade for 17 commodities. However, WTO/DDA negotiation will bring about lowering tariffs and increasing quantities of tariff quota. This study suggest the development programs corresponding WTO/DDA agriculture negotiation. First, from the viewpoint of the protection of domestic agriculture & improving transparency of agricultural import administration, the administration system of the state-operated trade will be necessary to be transformed for market oriented methods. Second, the administration system of the state-operated trade will be necessary to be rendered unified organization also. The current system of the state-operated trade shows the phenomena og many divergency. And third, The quantities of market access of FTA between Korea and Chile will be desirable to be administrate by state-operated trade. Because, according to diffusion of FTA treaties, the amount of market access quantities of FTA increase rapidly henceforth.

Purpose: Agriculture, which is heavily influenced by climate conditions, is one of the industries most affected by climate change. In this respect, various studies on the impact of climate change on the agricultural market have been conducted. Since climate change is a long-term phenomenon for more than a decade, long-term projections of agricultural prices as well as climate variables are needed to properly analyze the impact of climate change on the agricultural market. However, these long-term price projections are often major constraints on studies of climate changes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impacts of climate changes on the Korean onion market using ex-post analysis approach in order to avoid the difficulties of long-term price projections. Research design, data and methodology: This study develops an annual dynamic partial equilibrium model of Korean onion market. The behavioral equations of the model were estimated by OLS based on the annual data from 1988 to 2018. The modelling system is first simulated to have actual onion market conditions from 2014 to 2018 as a baseline and then compared it to the scenario assuming the climatic conditions under RCP8.5 over the same period. Scenario analyses were simulated by both comparative static and dynamic approach to evaluate the differences between the two approaches. Results: According to the empirical results, if the climate conditions under RCP8.5 were applied from 2014 to 2018, the yield of onion would increase by about 4%, and the price of onion would decrease from 3.7% to 17.4%. In addition, the average price fluctuation rate over the five years under RCP8.5 climate conditions is 56%, which is more volatile than 46% under actual climate conditions. Empirical results also show that the price decreases have been alleviated in dynamic model compared with comparative static model. Conclusions: Empirical results show that climate change is expected to increase onion yields and reduce onion prices. Therefore, the appropriate countermeasures against climate change in Korean onion market should be found in the stabilization of supply and demand for price stabilization rather than technical aspects such as the development of new varieties to increase productivity.
