This study analyzed the distribution of forest income and other variable sources of rural household income and considered their importance for the reduction of income inequality and poverty. We employed Gini decomposition to measure the contribution of forest income and other sources of income to income equality and assess whether they were inequality-increasing or inequality-decreasing in the 14 villages. The forest income Gini correlation with total income was very high, $R_k=0.6960$, and the forest income share of total rural household income was 35% ($S_k=0.3570$). If the income earned from forest activities was removed, the Gini index would increase by 10.3%. Thus, if people could not access forest resources because of vast deforestation, perhaps from the limitations of government-managed forestry, unplanned clearing of forest land for agriculture or the granting of ELCs, there would be an increase in income inequality and poverty among rural households. The findings suggest that policy makers should look beyond agriculture for rural development, as forest resources provide meaningful subsistence income and perhaps contribute to both preventing and reducing poverty and inequality in rural communities. The study found that non-farm activities were inequality-increasing sources of income. The share of non-farm income to the total rural household income was $S_k=0.1290$ and the Gini index of non-farm income was very high, $G_k=0.8780$, compared with forest and farm income. This disagrees with other studies which have reported that non-farm income was inequality-decreasing for the rural poor.

Neospora caninum is an important cause of abortion in dairy cattle worldwide. Dog is the definitive host for N. caninum and can infect dairy cattle. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Neospora oocysts in feces of dogs from dairy farms. A total of 174 fecal samples was collected from 89 farm dogs and 85 household dogs during 2006 and 2008. Fecal samples of dogs were microscopically examined for detecting Hammondia Neospora-like oocysts (HNLO) by Mini $Parasep^{(R)}SF$ fecal parasite concentrator. HNLO were microscopically detected in 4 fecal samples (2.2%). The fecal samples with HNLO were examined by N. caninum-specific PCR. Two of the samples were positive for N. caninum. The 2 positive fecal samples were selected for inoculation to calves. Two inoculated calves were seronegative by ELISA for 4 months post-infection. This is the first report of finding N. caninum DNA in feces of farm dogs in Mashhad area, Iran.

현재 농촌은 농업의 경제적 비중이 줄어드는 대신 타 산업의 비중이 커지는 구조적 변화를 겪고 있다. 본 연구는 농업에 기반한 일자리가 지속적으로 감소하고 있는 국내 농촌의 새로운 일자리 창출 정책방향을 제시하는 데 있다. 이를 위해서 우선 농촌 고용구조 변화의 가장 큰 특징인 농가의 불완전고용 현황을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 불완전고용 해소를 위한 정책 방향을 제시하였다. 두 번째로는 농촌지역의 농업 및 비농업부문 고용현황을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 농촌지역의 일자리 구조변화에 대응한 새로운 농촌지역 일자리 창출 방안을 제시하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 현재 농가는 농업소득과 농업외 소득 확보 정도에 따라 다양하게 분화되고 있다. 따라서 농업경영체의 발전 경로를 고려한 농가별 맞춤형 정책 추진이 필요하다. 둘째, 불완전 고용상태에 놓여 있는 저소득 농가에 대한 정책지원이 강화되어야 한다. 농가소득 변화를 살펴보면 농가의 불완전 고용이 지속적으로 확대되고 있다. 따라서 농가다각화 및 농외 일자리 창출 정책을 통해 불완전고용 농가의 소득을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 셋째, 농촌창업을 농업외 일자리 창출의 핵심정책으로 설정하고 체계적으로 지원할 필요가 있다. 농촌창업 기업가들은 지역 혁신과 새로운 일자리 창출에 가장 큰 잠재력을 가지고 있다. 넷째, 최근 농촌지역에서 가장 빨리 증가하는 일자리는 보건·복지분야이다. 보건·복지분야의 일자리를 지역공동체와 연계하여 안정적으로 확대할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 공동체 기반 농촌형 사회적기업, 커뮤니티 비즈니스, 협동조합을 적극 육성해야 한다.

This study aims at shedding light on two questions: 1) how livelihood strategies hired by heterogeneous farm households differ and in what aspect, and 2) would the strategy change over time or remain identical across farm types? Using 2013-2017 Farm Economy Survey panel data, we divide the sample farms into 4 sub-groups based on income level and sources. Key findings are as follows. First, regardless of farm types, strong path dependency has been observed. That is, lots of farms are likely (enforced) to maintain the livelihood strategies, accounting for why many farms fail to response to market and/or policy signals. Second, along with compounding risks, farms are more vulnerable to specific sorts risks. Third, based on the findings, we made policy suggestions.

The Fishery Household Concept is very important, because it furnish the basic information for Fisheries Policy Decision. But it is issued because the Established Fishery Household Concept is not fully reflected present Fisheries Situation. The Targets of Fisheries Policy in Korea can mainly classified Three, that is the stable Supply of Sea Food, Achievement of more high Fishery Household income, the Construction of more Comfortable Fishery Village. For Attainment these targets, the Criterion of Fishery Household Concept should be changed to 60 days from fishery working days,30 days. Also One of the Fishery Household Criterion should be inculuded Income Variable like Farm Household Criterion. This is needed to pay attention because it can provide against Trade Liberalization.

During the past several years, a number of attempts have been made to develop computer applications for the farm business. However, none of them truned out properly applicable to small farms occupying more than 90% of the total agri-business in number as they failed to take it into consideration that small farm, typically a private busines is quite different by nature from the large-scaled farm corporate. Small-sized farming is usually done on the houshold basis, and thus there is no distinction between the household and the business economy. In addition, small farm managers are mostly lacking knowledge or skills of both computers and accounting. This study, therefore, aims at the design and implementation of the financial management and accountign information system for small farms, with an attempt to relax constraints and resolve pitfalls revealed in previously developed applications. The following principles were introduced for the study : 1) The user-system interfaces have to be managed in the natural language as much as possible, so that the users can operate the system without any professional terms. 2) Household accounting has to be seperarte by some means from the business accounting, so that small farm businesses can manage their finance and accounting as necessary. 3) The system has to be designed so as not only for the users to manage transactional data but to analyse historical data in multiple dimensions for their decision-makings. The results from this study would perhaps help not only for the farmers but for the educators, policy makers, and counselors for the farming.

The purposes of this study were to analyze the structure of time use in farm households, and to compare the time use structure of women farmer with that of their husbands. The data for this study were collected from 276 farm households, selected from 8 provinces in the country. The data were collected at two times of farming season and off－farming season and classified as farm labor and household labor by labor types. SPSS(ver 12.0) statistical package was utilized to analyze the data, and t－test was performed for this study. The major findings are as follows; 1) In the case of work directly related to farming, husband's working hour was significantly longer than that of wife during the farming and off－farming season. In contrast with wife's household working hour was significantly longer than that of husband during both seasons. 2) There existed a severe work time imbalance between wife and husband during the-farming season. Based on the findings of this study, the following implications could be drawn to promote efficient labor and equal labor sharing. First, the consciousness has to be changed because the impartial labor sharing roles. We have to develope many programs to break these fixed ideas. And these programs have to be included to educational course and be instructed continuously. Second, the role of wife that household and farming work is important and will be magnified in the future.

본 연구는 영농규모화에 대한 전개과정과 충남지역 쌀 생산기반을 검토하고 쌀 산업의 미래지향적 방향의 한 축을 이어갈 쌀 전업농의 영농규모화를 통한 그 대안을 모색하는데 있다. 이 목적을 완성하기 위해 조사된 내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 충남지역이 쌀 생산은 전국에서 가장 높으며 재배면적에서도 제2위를 차지하고 있다. 이는 그만큼 쌀에 대한 국제적 정세변화는 충남의 쌀 생산농가에게 지대한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 개연성을 높여준다. 쌀 생산의 핵심이 되는 전업농가 수는 도내 전체농가의 7.7%를 차지하고 있고, 이들의 평균 경작면적은 2.9ha 이다. 이 면적은 규모화사업을 위해 지원된 자금이 크게 주효한 결과라고 해석된다. 2. 1980년대 후반부터 2002년까지 추진된 충남지역 영농규모화사업은 충남지역에 쌀 전업농가의 경영규모를 19,484ha까지 증가시켰다. 또한 1995년부터 2002년까지 매매사업이 이루어진 농가 수는 6,431농가에 1,6517ha가 매매되었으며, 장기임대차사업은 같은 기간동안 7,059농가에 면적은 6,970ha에 이르렀다. 다만 농지교환분합사업은 210ha에 1,864농가가 참여하였는데 이처럼 농지교환.분합사업이 활발하지 못한 것은 은퇴자들이 영농에 넓은 면적을 요망하지 않아 구태여 규모화사업에 응하지 않더라도 생활에 지장이 없기 때문이다. 또한 교환과 분합작업에 따른 복잡성 등, 일반 사회적 여건도 농지의 교환분합사업에 부정적인 방향으로 작용했던 것으로 추정된다. 3. 영농규모화사업을 촉진하기 위해서 제안된 방안들은 다음과 같다. (1) 재촌탈농자 및 고령 은퇴자를 위한 전직 프로그램 및 사회보장프로그램을 수립하고 농지매매 촉진을 위한 각종 인센티브제를 도입하여야 할 것이다. (2) 효율적인 쌀 생산시스템을 확립하기 위하여 단위면적당 생산량을 증대시키고 생산비를 낮추는 제 방안이 강구되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 쌀 생산기술과 경영적 능력을 갖춘 생산조직이 육성되어야 하며 시설의 적정배치 및 정보화가 완비되어야 한다. 그리고 영농시스템 구축에 바탕을 둔 지역종합의 다양한 구조개선도 병행하지 않으면 안 될 것이다. (3) 경영규모를 확대, 개선하기 위해서는 개별경영규모를 확대하거나 집단규모를 활용한 방안이 강구될 수 있을 것이다. 이상을 종합하면 충남의 영농규모화사업은 성공적으로 수행되어 왔다고 할 수 있으나, 궁극적으로 이 사업이 소기의 목적을 달성하기 위해서는 부수되는 제반 문제점을 적절히 해결해 가지 않으면 안 된다. 그리고 쌀 전업농에 대한 적절한 지원 및 탈농자 및 은퇴자에 대한 종합대책수립은 충남의 영농규모화사업을 완수하는데 반드시 선결되어야할 사항이다.
