This study presents the methods to improve the urban farming in Korea by analysing the current circumstances of urban farming in Korea. Specifically, the legal system in association with urban farming, current status of the act on the urban farming, the present situation of the Korean urban farming, and the comprehensive plans for urban farming have been analysed in order to grasp the present situations and seek for solutions. Based on these, the research provides effective supporting methods for sustainable urban farming in Korea. As a result, the essentials to improved urban farming can be summarized with two factors; securing more space for urban farming and improving the supporting system for the urban farmers. Enthusiastic attitudes of local governments, security of budget, and cooperation with the citizens are vital to expand the urban farming in addition to the institutional and systematic urban farming improving methods mentioned above.

The purpose of this study is to segment urban farming patterns and analyse the preference on urban farming by applying two-step cluster analysis, chi-square analysis and ANOVA. The data was collected by face-to-face surveys on 9 urban farms which were chosen by location and operator. Respondents were asked to describe their urban farming pattern, preference on urban farming and socio-demographic characteristics. Three different clusters were derived from two-step cluster analysis based on operator, transportation, number of visits per month, travel time, area and motive. They were 'hobby-oriented farming', 'producing-oriented farming', and 'multipurpose farming'. The results of chi-square analysis showed that there were significant differences among these three segmented groups in terms of age, with or without children aged under 14, household income per month and housing type. In other words, there is quite a possibility that urbanites have different urban farming patterns according to their socio-demographic profiles. Also, there were significant differences on the preference on urban farming by cluster. According to the results, planning directions of urban farming were presented.

Background and objective: Traditional farming is winning recognition as a sustainable alternative farming method. As urban farming increases in South Korea, it is crucial to develop more sustainable farming techniques. Gyeonjongbeop is the traditional farming method introduced in the Joseon period. This study was conducted to propose a productive garden model suitable for urban farming through the interpretation of traditional farming methods contained in Imwongyeongjeji Bolliji and to test the model on an actual field. Methods: Using the design and cropping system of Gyeonjongbeop as the research materials, we reviewed its tillage and cultivation and examined the applicability. We proposed a modified method by extracting parts applicable to urban farming. According to the methods, we created a garden with ridges and furrows, cultivated proper vegetables, and evaluated their growth. Results: Raphanus sativus, Allium fistulosum L., Brassica juncea, and Spinacia oleracea grown on ridges showed higher growth than those grown on a conventional flat field. The growth of Hordeum vulgare var. hexastichon and Triticum aestivum L. on furrows was also slightly higher. This proved that the method could make up for the deficiencies of barley and wheat that are weak against winds and cold and are easily destroyed by the spring rains. Conclusion: Ridge and furrow cultivation derived from Gyeonjongbeop can be an efficient urban farming system compared to the conventional cultivation in flat fields. The system can use fallow lands in winter for year-round urban farming. In addition, the application of the traditional farming system can enhance the humanistic value of urban farming.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the patterns of farming materials required for creating and operating elementary school vegetable gardens and to propose a plan for vitalizing business related to urban agriculture. As a result of the survey, the farming materials purchased most for the operation of the school gardens were seeds materials focused on seedlings, compost/fertilizer, and farming tools focused on trowels, sprinklers, and hoes. Purchases of farming materials were made mostly through the internet, while most purchases of seedlings were made in pesticide stores. Therefore, it is necessary to provide information and education related to the use of farming materials. Thus, establishment and maintenance of highly accessible and reliable internet sources are recommended to provide the lists of farm products necessary as well as related information to help users in purchase and use in order to create and operate the school garden. In order to supply high-quality seedlings, it is necessary to provide information and education on the kinds of seedlings, management, cultivation, delivery methods, and the like, focusing on pesticide stores producing and distributing seedlings. Providing such information for participants will improve their satisfaction. Also, if businesses related to urban agriculture use these study results in producing, preparing, managing and selling seedlings and farming materials, they will also be able to generate profits and vitalize urban agriculture.

The purposes of this study were to classify the silver farming types and to investigate proper crops for silver farmers. Data were collected from 408 farmers returned from the urban area. Descriptive statistics were employed using SPSS/PC windows program. After then, researchers discussed the silver farming patterns and their proper crops, and tried to analyze the silver farming model. Major results were as follows: The farming aims of retirees, urban residents as well as farmers returned from the urban area were various from hobby/ leisure to income generating activities. Fourteen types of silver farming were classified by farming aim and residential area of retirees. Retirees in the hobby/leisure-oriented silver farming type can select and enjoy the various plants, animals, and insects as well as crops due to their small scale. Silver farmers in the self-sufficiency type may select crops for their food. Income-oriented silver farmers may have difficulties in choosing the proper crop. They must consider their income needs, health status and field location. Profit-oriented silver farmers with venture mind can have some business opportunities in the agricultural sectors in spite of severe competition. As the aged silver farmers have poor health, they must keep work safety rules, use the proper work-aids, and utilize the labor-saving farming system.

The purpose of the study was to identify the needs assessment for urban agricultural program. The findings were as follows; Citizens at urban cities said that educational program of 'shortage of farming technology education' should be developed, and wanted to be given 'farming technology' of urban agriculture education area more than other education areas. The citizens asked for urban agricultural program with both theories and practice education than existing urban agricultural program that relied upon basic theory education. And, they wanted urban agricultural program that was based on 'farming technology' to consist of practice education and theory education at the ratio of 80 and 20 and to be professional and differentiated. The citizens preferred 3 to 6 months of education period the most, and more than 95 percent of them wanted to join the program when it is developed.

The purpose of this study is to segment and examine urban farmers behavior by applying a two-step cluster analysis and multi-nominal logit model. The data were collected by a telephone survey with two-staged stratified random sampling in the cities around the country for the purpose of acquiring representative data. Respondents were asked to describe their awareness of urban agriculture, their agricultural activity, and sociodemographic characteristics. Among 2,000 cases, 381 cases(19.1%) which were of participants in urban agriculture were analysed in SPSS. From the findings, 27.3% of respondents had heard the word 'urban agriculture', and 25.5% of them regarded themselves as urban farmers. Four different clusters were derived from two-step clusters based on motive, place, companion, area and hours. They were 'Large scale hobby farming(cluster 1)', ‘Weekend farm/ hobby farming(cluster 2)', 'Land/ Self-supporting farming(cluster 3)', and 'Small scale hobby farming(cluster 4)'. The result of multinomial logistic regression showed that there were significant differences among these four segmented groups in terms of age, city size and housing type. In other words, there is quite a possibility that urbanites select different urban farming types according to their socio-demographic profiles. Therefore, the urbanite profiles can be used as the basis for promoting policy of several urban agriculture types. According to the result, policy directions for facilitating urban agriculture were presented.

도시농업의 기술 중 하나인 수경재배 농법은 공간의 물리적 제약이 다른 도시농업 활동에 비해 적고 재배환경을 어디든지 쉽게 구축할 수 있다는 장점이 있어 그 활용 가치가 높지만, 기존의 연구 대부분이 기술 개발에 초점 맞추어져 있어 도시민의 여가 문화적 가치를 내포하는 도시농업의 문화적 활용성 측면에서 연구가 부족하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 수경재배를 활용한 도시농업 활동에서 학내 구성원이 인식하는 참여제약요인을 파악하고 도시농업 여가 향유의 관점에서 참여 의사결정에 영향을 미치는 변수 간 구조적 관계를 파악하였다. 근거이론과 선행연구 고찰을 통하여 수경재배 도시농업의 참여제약요인을 3가지 측면으로 나누고, 서울대학교 구성원을 대상으로 설문 조사를 수행한 후 R software를 활용하여 요인분석 및 구조모델에 대한 평가를 시행하였다. 그 결과로 첫째, 수경재배를 활용한 도시농업 활동에서의 참여제약요인은 크게 내재적 요인, 대인적 요인, 구조적 요인으로 나뉘었다. 둘째, 가설 모형 검증 결과로 대인적 제약이 참여자의 참여의지와 기대행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 옥상이라는 도시공간에서 행해진 수경재배 도시농업에 대한 학내 구성원의 다원적 가치 인식을 파악하였으며, 연구 결과를 활용하여 도시공간이나 옥상에서 이루어지는 수경재배 도시농업 활동에 더 적극적 참여를 유도하는 전략에 근거를 제시할 수 있다.

도시 내 유휴지 및 하천, 도로변과 같은 공공시설부지는 오랫동안 도시민에게 도시농업 공간(텃밭)을 제공해 왔다. 그러나 유휴지와 공공시설부지에서 이루어지는 대부분의 경작은 불법이어서 텃밭 이용자와 토지소유자 그리고 공공시설 관리자간의 갈등을 유발하고, 도시경관의 질 저하, 환경오염, 공공시설물 훼손 등의 문제를 야기하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 도시 내 공공시설부지 등에서 무단으로 경작되는 도시농업을 양성화할 수 있는 방안 제시를 목적으로 도시지역에 다양한 형태로 산재한 텃밭의 분포 및 이용 실태를 조사 분석하였다. 조사는 대구광역시 시지지역을 사례지로 선정하여 현장 조사, 텃밭 이용자 및 주말농장 운영기관 담당자와의 면담을 통해 이루어졌다. 연구 결과, 도시텃밭은 접근이 쉬운 주택가 인근의 개발이 제한된 녹지지역에 주로 분포했으며, 주거지에 인접할수록 텃밭의 분포수가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 토지이용 유형별로는 농경지에 분포하는 텃밭의 비율이 월등히 높았으나, 도로, 하천 등 공공시설부지에 분포하는 비율도 농경지의 3분의 1을 상회하였다. 텃밭을 경작하는 사람들 중 개인 소유 토지를 무임 경작하는 사람들의 비율이 가장 높았고, 국 공유지 무단경작 비율이 다음으로 높았다. 도시 내 유휴지와 하천, 도로, 철도 등 공공시설이 위치하는 국 공유지를 텃밭으로 무임, 무단 경작하는 사람들 대부분은 노인으로 나타나, 노인 여가 공간으로서의 도시텃밭의 잠재력을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 조사대상지가 특정 지역에 국한된 점, 텃밭의 규모를 실측하지 못한 점 등의 한계가 있으나, 도시텃밭의 분포 및 이용 특성을 파악하여 불법으로 경작되는 도시농업의 양성화 및 제도적 수용 필요성을 제기했다는 데, 그 의의가 있다고 생각된다.
