  • Since 2000s, proper utilization of IoT (Internet of Things) technology is a key factor for a firm to become more competitive, and this stream is not exceptional for the food and agriculture industry. Along with this stream, Korea government organization, for example MAFRA (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs), elected to adopt IoT technology, such as USN and RFID technologies, in the food and agriculture industry. Based on the IoT technology, MAFARA launched six "IoT based farm" project in 2007. IoT based farm project includes IoT based greenhouse system project, and it shows drastic efficiency in terms of cost reduction. When it comes to the productivity, however, the effect of IoT based greenhouse system is still ambiguous. In this regard, this study conducted systems analysis and design for IoT based tomato greenhouse in order to help farmers' decision making related to the productivity by establishing standardized database structure and designing output form to analyze productivity indices. Proposed systems analysis and design can be utilized as a data analysis tools by farmers. Productivity data from the proposed systems is can be used by researchers to identify the relationship among environment, plant growth and productivity. Policy makers also can refer to the data and output forms to predict the quantity of fruit during certain period and to revise production guideline more precisely.

  • This research focuses on the development and empirical validation of a model of software piracy behavior on the basis of deterrence theory, expected utility theory and the theory of reasoned action. The total of sample numbered 86 and PLS (Partial Least Square) was utilized for analysis. The test of this study revealed that punishment severity was the greatest significant factor to influence to software piracy and subjective norms was also significantly related to it. However punishment certainty and software cost do not significantly affect to software piracy.

  • The purpose of this study is to suggest objective basic data for Kung-dong neighborhood park management through the quantitative analysis of user's behaviors and satisfaction in Chungnam National University campus forest. Most users lived in Kung-dong, Oun-dong, Shinsung-dong near the campus forest. Their visiting motivations were for taking a walk, health and fresh air. Therefore, it is important that the university should seek a supervision for improving functions of the campus forest. They are using about 300 users per day in campus forest. We should present a supervision programs which make them more useful and protective.

  • The Purpose of this paper is to suggest sustainable strategies of the project for developing large-scale environment-friendly agricultural districts (LSEAD). This study used assessment 3 indicators, efficiency, impact and sustainability of environment-friendly agricultural certification area and farmers, management situations of crop-livestock circulation center, educations for environment-friendly farming, changes of farmer's income and so on. This project has contributed to develop environment- friendly agriculture and model of LSEAD. And for sustainable development of LSEAD, it is necessary to renovate crop-livestock circulation centers, promote organic farming of resource-circulation type, converse to non-pesticide or organic farming of low pesticide one, do active marketing activities, establish a governance system of business projects and so forth.

  • The problems caused by synthetic pesticides have led the need for effective biodegradable pesticides with greater selectivity. Botanical pesticides are generally recognized as safe in agriculture systems. Thus, they have been regarded as attractive alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides for the pest management. Both lower efficacy and higher costs of production make botanicals more expensive to use than conventional pesticides. Moreover, only a small portion of plant-derived metabolites among a number of bioactive metabolites are in use because commercialization of botanicals is inhibited by several problems such as toxicity, or high production cost. However, with the growing acceptance of botanical pesticides as an efficient crop protection alternative resulting in increasing demand, plant-based pesticides will play a significant role in achieving sustainable agriculture in future.

  • For the development of Eco-village in Korean rural area, it was focussed to introduce the rural style which has been developed intensively in European countries such as Denmark, England and Germany. As the main concept for Eco-village it was explained briefly in the paper on the renewable energy(wind power park, bio-mass and solar energy collector and heating system), eco-architecture, methane gas device, living machine(wastewater treatment facility) and organic farming. It was also discussed how important the basic standard and guidelines for organic agriculture to run Eco-village environmentally soundly as a whole system and why it is so much essential for the system. For this reason major principles of international applicable standard for organically grown foods by FAO/WHO Codex alimentarius was also shortly described. In the paper the Eco-village concept was considered as a suitable model for Environmental Agriculture Districts Project which Korean government is going to establish at rural area in the near future. In conclusion it was suggested that the positive participation of organic farmers, enthusiastic engagement of inhabitants and support strategy of government/NGO groups might play very important role for successful management of Eco-village ecologically benign and economically sustainable after establishment.
