To verify welfare needs, rural health and environmental factors were compared between agricultural and nonagricultural groups over the past 10 years. Based on a survey of rural life by the Rural Development Administration, whose sample included agricultural (72.8%) and nonagricultural (27.2%) groups, all factors were analyzed using SAS ( 9.3). For rural home heating, the use of oil boilers (77.2%-78.0%) decreased (53.0%-53.7%) over the same period, whereas that of electric boilers increased (21.9% and 13.5% for agricultural and nonagricultural groups, respectively). The joint water- supply increased, and the use of flush toilets (52.4% to 84.5% in the agricultural group and 64.6% to 81.4% in the nonagricultural group) and hot-water bathing was higher in the agricultural group (79% to 92.6%) than in the nonagricultural group (72.2% to 87.6%) at the p<0.001 level. Incineration accounted for the largest portion of household waste until 2006, when it was replaced by other treatment methods such as the pay-per-treatment option (44.4% and 68.3% in the agricultural and nonagricultural groups, respectively) (p<0.001). Garbage disposal in 2001 was mainly burial or animal feed, but separate collection increased in 2010 (42.2% and 64.3% in the agricultural and nonagricultural groups, respectively) (p<0.001). The self-perception of health was lower in the agricultural group than in the nonagricultural group (2.96 to 2.74 on a five-point scale in the agricultural group and 3.07 to 2.98 in the nonagricultural group). Drinking decreased less in the agricultural group (criteria: one point once a week,; 1.48 to 1.20) than in the nonagricultural group (1.13 to 0.80) at p<0.001, and a similar pattern was found for smoking (p<0.001). Health screening decreased in the last 10 years (scoring based one point/1-2 times per year,: 0.94 to 0.64 in the agricultural group and 1.08 to 0.69 in the nonagricultural group;p<0.01). These results indicate that various health and environmental factors were less favorable to farmers except for bathing in comparison to nonagricultural living in the same area. This suggests that people in agriculture are less likely to live and work in favorable environments than those outside the sector and thus indicates a need for more attention to the national health welfare system for farmers for systematic realization.

The Purpose of this research was to investigate the physical changes of village, the architectural changes of houses and to find out the resident's needs of housing in suburban rural houses. Samga 3 Ri, Yong-In, KyungKi-Do was chosen for this study. The previous research, conducted in 1987 by using a field survey method, was compared with this study. 1) The study showed that the physical changes of village include an increase in the number of rooms and nonagricultural population, and variety of house types. Therefore, social intimacy, reallocation of houses according to residents' occupations, and apartments for non-agricultural population should be considered in planning village. 2) It is found that the resident's needs were to increase the number of rooms, expansion of space, and to modernize kitchin systems. The investigation on newly constructed houses indicated that residents' needs were two-story houses, changes of spaces - the number of bathrooms, private bedroom adjacent to An-bang.

The purpose of this study is to investigate industry-wise employment growth factors in rural areas. Regional economic vitalization is sensitive to internal and external interaction changes among various industrial and occupational sectors. Thus, rural regional economic vitalization requires a comprehensive approach in analyzing industry-dependent employment structures and growth factors in rural areas. However, research conducted thus far has mostly focused on agriculture and farmers. Considering the evidence that rural communities continue to be stagnant and 80% of the rural population is engaged in nonagricultural activities, it becomes necessary to review industry-specific employment change factors in rural areas. This study targeted 5 counties in Chungnam. The results revealed that agriculture, forestry, and fisheries occupied the foremost positions with regard to population employed and regional GRDP share. The influence of national growth on employment and business variation effects was as high as 98.1% and 78.6%, respectively, thus demonstrating the high likelihood of rural economy to be influenced by external factors. Growth in the public sector appeared to support employment structure. Moreover, wholesale and retail businesses, constituting 14.4% of employment in rural areas, showed a strong trend toward degeneration, to the extent that difficulties have been forecasted for the supply of goods and services essential for basic livelihood of the rural residents. The implications based on the above observations need to be considered for policy-making to ensure that industrial structure is modified on the basis of internal demand of the region, and support for small businesses is integrated in rural area development projects.

한국여성의 노동시장참여에 대한 교육의 미약한 효과는 한국여성 교육의 인적자본(human capacity)으로서 의미에 의문을 제기하게 된다. 오늘날 인적자본으로서 교육의 의미는 점점 중요해지고 있다. 여성의 취업에 대한 열망이나 여성인력이 낭비되고 있다는 사회의 지적은 여성 스스로나 일반인들에게 교육이 인적자본으로서 인식되고 있다는 것을 반영하고 있다. 그러나 실제 노동시장에서 여성의 교육은 인적자본으로서 기능을 제대로 하고 있지 못하는 것 같다. 여성의 교육이 인적자본 차원에서 어느 정도 의미가 있는가를 검토하려고 할 때, 여성의 노동시장참여 가능성과 함께 여성이 일할 경우에 나타나는 경제적 보상의 정도를 고려해야 한다. 기존의 연구에서는 한국여성의 노동시장참여에 대한 교육효과는 미흡한 것으로 나타났지만 일하는 여성을 대상으로 했을 경우에는 임금에 대한 교육효과는 명백한 것으로 지적되었다. 그러나 위의 두 경우를 함께 고려해서 여성 전생애에 걸쳐 나타난 경제적 보상에 대한 교육효과를 검토하려는 시도는 없었다. 1980년대 중반에 이르기까지 비농업부문에서 여성경제활동의 변화가 거의 없었던 점을 염두에 두면서 본 연구에서는 횡단적 자료를 이용해 여성 전생애에 걸쳐 교육의 인적자원으로서의 의미를 검토해 보려고 했다. 연구결과에 따르면, 노동시장참여에 대한 교육효과는 거의 존재하지 않으며 여성이 일하는 기간은 아주 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 일하는 여성을 대상으로 한 임금에 대한 교육효과는 젊은 여성에게서는 잘 나타나는 편이었지만 나이 든 여성의 경우에는 미미한 편이었다. 젊은 여성의 경우 임금에 대한 교육효과가 크게 나타나지만, 그들의 취업기간은 극히 짧고 노동시장참여에 대한 교육효과가 거의 존재하지 않기 때문에 인적자본으로서 교육의 의미는 작은 편이라고 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 경상북도의 귀농 귀촌정책의 실태와 특성 그리고 문제점을 분석하고 그 개선방안을 제시하였다. 경상북도는 전국 최초로 관련 조례를 제정하고, 중앙정부 지원 사업 외에 독자적인 사업의 영역을 확대한 결과, 지원 사업에 대한 만족도가 상대적으로 높은 지역이다. 그러나 귀농 귀촌 지원 정책의 문제점으로는 중앙정부 및 산하 기초지자체와의 역할분담과 관련 부서간의 연계성 부족, 지역특성 및 귀농 귀촌인(세대)의 속성을 제대로 반영하지 못하였고, 은퇴자 계층을 중심으로 한 귀촌인의 정책적 수요에 제대로 대처하지 못한점 등을 들 수 있다. 이에 대한 개선방안으로는 기존의 정책 주체 외에 귀농 귀촌인를 포함하는 거버넌스 체계를 구축하고, 이것이 지역에 제대로 뿌리내릴 수 있는 사업을 제도화하여야 한다. 그리고 경제적 물리적 지원중심의 접근방식에서 탈피하여, 적응주기별 차별화된 프로그램과 귀촌인을 위한 '비농업 농촌형 일자리' 및 농촌지역사회에 공헌할 수 있는 전문역량강화 지원 프로그램을 개발하여야 할 것이다.

전국적으로 산재해있는 2,000여 광산지역의 경우 중금속 오염의 정도와 범위를 고려할 때, 기존의 물리 화학적 복원기술의 적용만으로는 경제성과 실효성의 조화가 어렵다. 이에 기존의 토양 복원기술과 더불어 생물학적 복원기술로써 phytoremediation 기술의 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구는 경기도 광명시에 위치한 폐아연광산 인근 토양 및 식물체내의 중금속 함량과 토양내 Cd의 존재형태별 분포를 파악하여 인근 농경지로의 잠재적 오염원이 되는 부지를 선정하고, 오염 토양에 대한 phytoremediation 적용을 위한 기초 조사를 수행하였다. 17지점에서 채취한 논 밭 및 비경작지 토양의 0.1 N-HCl 추출 Cd 함량은 $0.2-42mg\;kg^{-1}$의 분포를 보였고, Cd 함량이 상대적으로 높은 비경작지 토양의 중금속 함량은 Zn $533-2320mg\;kg^{-1}$, Pb $560-3584mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cu $104-1277mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cd $11-42mg\;kg^{-1}$의 범위로 나타났다. pH를 1에서 3까지 조절하며 수행한 중금속 용출시험 결과 pH 변화에 따른 중금속 용출의 정도는 매우 컸다. 대부분의 토양은 유기물 및 질소함량이 극히 낮고, 평균 토성은 사양토로 전국적으로 분포하는 광산토양의 평균 이화학성 범위 내에 있어 Cd, Zn 및 Pb의 생물학적 복원부지로서의 적합성을 보였다. 본 연구에서 정화식물종으로 선별한 식물은 아연광산에 서식하는 대표적 초본류인 쑥이며, 체내 중금속 함량은 지상부 $43mg\;kg^{-1}$, 지하부 $52mg\;kg^{-1}$의 Cd 함량을 보였다. 채취한 식물체 주변 근권 토양 (rhizosphere soil)과 경계면 토양 (soil-root interface soil)은 각각 15.68, $14.09mg\;kg^{-1}$의 Cd 함량을 나타내었다. 토양에 대한 연쇄추출 결과 $H_2O$(water soluble), NaOH (organically bound), $KNO_3$ (exchangeable), EDTA (oxide/carbonate), $HNO_3$ (sulfide/residual)의 순으로 Cd 추출효율이 증가하였으며, 토양내 치환태 Cd는 평균 $2.4mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 나타났다. 중금속 오염부지에 대한 식물 식재시 퇴비의 투여량은 지하부 표면적 및 뿌리부피와 밀접한 상관관계를 나타내어 오염 토양내 식피조성시 식물체의 활착율을 증대 시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
