The number of organic farms are increasing in European countries during last 10 years. Most European governments are giving subsidies for organic farmers as well as converting organic farms from conventional farming method. The price level of most organic products are higher than price level of conventional products in general. However, there are certainly some market demand problems in organic products in some countries. Organic farms will be increased in 2005 and 2010 for 10∼20% of the total agricultural area in some European countries. Government subsidy payment is also increasing. Therefore, many farmers are going to change into organic farming method from conventional farming. However, there will be certainly some market demand problems in future because of national economic growth problems. At the same time, the quality of soil can be improved and status of health of urban consumers should be improved by consuming organic products.

This study aims at identifying the characteristics of various income earning activities conducted by small family farms, so-called pluriactivity, in Korea, Traditionally small farm households have been regarded in Korea as those who have not only very limited economic capability, but also very low status in rural society. However, in Europe, since the 1990s, there have been some researches found out the role of small farms in socio-economic development of rural regions. These tended to conclude that such various economic activities of small farms' may contribute to the development of rural region. Introducing the concept of pluriactivity from the European studies, this study carried out surveys and interviews with 38 small farm household in Chungnam region in terms of the fundamental reasons for pluriactivity and the impact on rural economies. The analysis revealed the main reason of pluriactivity could be the lack of income for family. Nevertheless, this study also identified another important reason of pluriactivity that small farms' desire to live in rural areas may drive them to do the pluriactivity. It may mean that farming could not be the main option for them to live in rural areas. In addition, it was confirmed that this pluriactivity has a positive impact on rural areas, such as landscape management, job creation, and cultural provision. Along with this, it was confirmed that there is a difference in pluriactivity characteristics according to age. It then necessary concludes that the rural development policy must consider the characteristics of farm households when they provide the support for farming and non-farming activities.

The energy produced by wind power generation is a clean energy product because it is acquired by using renewable resource. Wind power plants("wind farms), in Korea, have been built and operated as 345.6MW facilities from 2001 until now 2009. Nevertheless, environmental issues regarding construction of wind power plants have arisen. accordingly it is time to consider the environmental and social issues of wind power in accordance with the government's policy objectives of increased wind power production. In this study, we investigated the influence that noise and low frequency noise caused by Wind power plants have on neighborhood and residents. We also sought solutions to these issues. In order to analyze the issues of wind power facilities, we compared and examined precedents and the solutions for noise and low frequency noise in Europe, the United states and Japan. We intended to examine the influences of wind power facilities and propose alternative in dealing with these issues.

우리나라는 축산농가의 사육환경 개선을 위해 양돈 농가를 대상으로 새로운 동물복지형 사육기준을 도입하여 신규농가는 2019년, 기존농가는 2025년부터 적용 예정인 정책을 수립 중에 있다. 이는 임신 4주 이후 임신돈 스톨 사육을 제한하며, 조도는 40Lux이상, 암모니아 25ppm이하, 임신돈 사육밀도를 기존 $1.4m^2$에서 $2.25m^2$ 등으로 기준이 강화될 것이다. 동물복지를 100년 가까이 연구하여 적용하는 유럽의 경우, 동물복지형 양돈 도입을 위해 농가에서 활용할 수 있는 시설 및 사양관리 매뉴얼을 제공하여 전환 농가의 편이성 및 활용성을 높이고 있다. EU 자체 및 EU 내 국가별 독립적인 기준을 설정하여 돈사 내 동물복지 개선을 위한 바닥시설 기준을 정하여 농가에 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 국내의 경우 일부 선도 농가를 제외하고는 일반스톨을 사용하지 않는 사육방식에 대한 방법 및 기술이 전무한 상태이고, 사육면적 외의 모돈의 복지에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 돈사바닥에 대한 복지수준에 대한 연구결과도 없는 실정이다. 따라서, 정부는 모돈 군사사육 정책변화에 대응 할 수 있으며, 농가의 어려움에 대한 최소화 및 활용 가능한 연구들이 필요하다. 즉, 농가의 시설전환 및 사양관리 매뉴얼 개발과, 동물복지 수준향상을 위한 모돈사 바닥에 대한 연구 및 모돈의 복지수준에 대한 평가 방법들에 대한 연구가 요구된다고 제언하는 바이다.
