Recently, Korean government has been initiating various schemes for reactivation of the marginal farmland use. However, although about ten years have passed from the introduction of the marginal farmland redevelopment projects in 1995, there have been very few research works on their systematic and objective appraisal. Therefore, this study checked the statutory concept and development schemes of the marginal farmland, firstly. Ant through case studies on 5 completed project sites and questionnaire/interview surveys on local government officers/private developers, problems and suggestions on project implementation were analysed. Finally, in consideration with analysed results and suggestions together, tentative project directions and reaction schemes on marginal farmland development were proposed.

본 연구에서는 PDSI, SPI, MSWSI 등의 가뭄지수를 이용하여 가뭄을 단계별로 모니터링 할 수 있는 통합가뭄지수를 개발하였으며 개발된 통합가뭄지수에 의해 작성된 한반도의 가뭄도를 과거 가뭄과 비교 검증한 결과 매우 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 통합가뭄지수가 가뭄을 정량적으로 모니터링 하는데 유용한 지표로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다 또한, 기상청에서 시행하고 있는 기온, 강수량의 장 단기 예보자료를 이용하여 가뭄지수의 예측치를

This survey was carried out in order to obtain and apply the basic information on levels of raising skill, recognition of mutual infection between animal and human field of skill training, registration of animal pedigree, mating places, difficulties of raising, channel of marketing, and prospects of raising by socio-ecological status. Data were randomly gathered from 713 peoples, who composed of 398 men and 315 women, from March to August, 2005. As the results, questionnaires were analyzed that relatively 'the level of breeding skill is middle(43.9%)'. The average score for skill level is 1.81±0.79 when 4 points were used as a full mark. The recognition of mutual infection between human and animal is answered that 'many respondents don't know very well(62.6%)'. The questionnaire answered largely that 'the field of raising skill training is trimming and grooming(29.2%)'. The respondents recognized that 'The pedigree registration of pet is not essential(52.7%)'. The pet breeders answered that 'the mating for reproduction was conducted mainly in pet shops(34.3%)'. The breeders indicated mostly that 'the difficulties of raising were technical skills of raising(53.5%)'. The respondents answered that 'the deal of marketing of animal was mainly achieved through neighbors and close relatives(42.8%)'. The many questionnaires were recognized that 'breeders have a good prospect for the pet industry in the future(51.5%)'.

본 연구는 일본 영토정책의 틀 안에서 독도가 어떤 지위를 차지하고 있는가 하는 문제를 살펴보았다. 그리하여 일본에서의 독도 문제 제기는 일본 내셔널리즘의 확대에 의 해서 초래되었으므로, 이 내셔널리즘의 약화만이 문제 해결의 핵심임을 밝혔다. 다음으로 러시아와 문제가 되고 있는 쿠릴열도 귀속 문제는 일 본측이 국제사법재판소에 제소하는 것을 원하지 않는 것도 알아냈다. 또 조어도 문제는 일본의 영유권 주장이 역사적 근거가 박약함에도 불구하고 실효적 지배론을 앞세우고 있다는 사실도 규명하였다. 특히 일본이 조어도 문제에 관한 한, 국제사법재판소에 제소하기를 꺼려한다는 사실은 한국과 관계가 있는 독도 문제와 대조되는 입장이어서 주목을 끈다. 이상과 같은 고찰은 일본을 둘러싸고 있는 주변 국가와의 영토분쟁에 대한 현안들 중심으로 이루어진 것이다. 이들 영토분쟁이 앞으로 어떻 게 전개될 것인가 하는 문제에 대해서는 다음과 같은 전망을 하였다. 즉 독도의 경우는 한국이 국내외적으로 어려운 상황에 봉착하게 되면, 일본의 집요한 요구에 설복될 가능성이 있다. 쿠릴열도 문제 역시 러시 아의 국내적인 어려운 상황을 기다렸다가 일괄적으로 해결하려고 할 것이다. 마지막으로 조어도는 일본이 실효적인 지배를 하고 있으나, 영토 적 권원이 미약하다는 약점 때문에, 중국에 자원의 공동 개발을 제안하고 있다. 이와 같은 중국의 사례를 가지고 일본이 독도 문제를 해결하려고 하는 경우에는 한국의 독도 영유권 문제가 위기에 봉착하게 될지도 모른다는 것을 아울러 밝혀둔다.

U.S. organic farming has grown rapidly-20 percent or more annually-throughout the 1990s, which kept pace with consumer demand for organically produced food. Thus certified organic acreage is the total to 2.35 million acres in 48 state in 2001, and so the U.S. ranked fourth in land area managed under organic farming systems. And according to several surveys, consumer’s reasons for purchasing organic food are health and nutrition, taste and environmental concerns. California and North Dakota were the top two states in 2001 for certified organic cropland; the former with mostly fruits and vegetables, and the latter with wheat, soybeans, and other crops. And the top two states for certified organic pasture were Colorado and Texas. And then several states such as Iowa and Minnesota have begun subsidizing conversion to organic farming systems as a way to capture the environmental benefits of these systems. The price of organic produce fluctuates rather broadly because of being traded by market economy principle and of demandsupply disequilibrium. Nevertheless, average price premiums for organic produce are higher than the prices for the produce under conventional farming. Future prospects for U.S. organic farming are as follows; Demand for organically grown foods is expected to continue growing at a rapid pace, as more growers convert to organic production and more processors and distributors expand organic selections in their product lines. And new processed products and new types of healthy foods are likely to appear on the market, and some new organic products will be aimed at mainstream markets.
