본 연구는 담양군 치재산(가마골) 일원 관속식물상 조사를 통해 자생식물, 희귀식물과 특산식물의 분포를 밝히고 효율적인 생태계 관리에 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 현장조사는 2022년 3월부터 2023년 6월까지 총 21차례 실시하였 으며, 그 결과 101과 304속 444종 10아종 35변종 3품종 총 492 분류군의 식물표본을 채집하여 목록화하였다. 제작된 표본목록을 분석한 결과, 산림청 지정 특산식물 14 분류군, 희귀식물 9 분류군이 확인되었고, 환경부 지정 국가적색식물 7 분류군, 식물구계학적 특정종은 68 분류군으로 등급별로 보면 I등급 45 분류군, II 등급 5 분류군, III 등급 16 분류군, IV 등급 2 분류군이 확인되었다. 국외반출 승인대상 생물자원은 155 분류군이 목록에 포함되어 있으며, 외래식 물은 38 분류군으로 7.7%의 귀화율과 6.1%의 도시화지수를 나타냈다. 외국으로부터 인위적 또는 자연적으로 유입된 생태계교란식물은 4 분류군으로 조사되었다. 이번 조사를 통해 치재산의 특이식물에 대한 자생지 보전과 증식을 통해 정원식물로 활용한다면 담양만의 특색있는 경관을 연출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study investigated the characteristics of cotton production of Damyang-gun & Hwasun-gun, Yeongsan River compared with that of Gurye-gun, Seomjingang River in modern times. To do this, research method was both literature and fieldwork research, results were as follows. First, as for cotton fiber cultivation in Damyang-gun & Hwasun-gun, Chinese cotton (在來綿) has been cultivated during Japanese Colonial era unlike Gurye-gun. Especially, Yellow cotton (黃綿) has been cultivated in Hwasungun. Second, as for spinning in Damyang-gun, Hwasun-gun and Gurye-gun, some of cotton spinning process have been gradually changed to mechanization by market shop equipped with mechanized cotton gin and cotton whipping tool since Japanese colonial era. Third, the loom types also, like spinning tools, have been changed from the traditional Korean back-strap loom to the treadle loom in Damyang-gun, Hwasungun and Gurye-gun. Chemical dyeing with chemical dyestuff also has been done since Japanese Colonial era. Fourth, since the 1970s, the outputs of cotton production have been reduced in both Damyang-gun & Hwasun-gun. For Damyang-gun, this has been connected with bamboo craft since the Joseon Dynasty period. So, Damyang-gun has more concentrated on bamboo craft than cotton production. For Hwasun-gun, since Japanese Colonial era, sericulture has been very important. So, Hwasun-gun also has more concentrated on sericulture than cotton production. The main reason to discontinue cotton production in Damyang-gun, Hwasun-gun and Gurye-gun was related to the local choice like economic added value.

Survey on the food intake status and health condition of the elerly over 65 years old living in Damyang Jeonnam was performed and meal menus for the pavillion were developed using local products. Allowance of the elderly less than 100,000 won was 45%. The local products of the area recognized by the elderly were bamboo shoot (30%) > bamboo (22.5%) > bamboo basket (12.5%) > do not know (15%) > green tea (10%) > rice(7.5%) > vegetable. In dental health, 52.5% of them had bad condition but 62.5% did not use denture at all. The most favorate foods were Korean (92.5%) and Chinese and Japanese were favored by 5%, and 2.5%, respectively. In percentage of eat-out and use of instant foods, 42.5% of them answered that eating-out chances were very rare and 62.5% answered that they do not use instant foods at all. Potassium intakes for the male and female elderly were significantly very low with values of 2579.2 mg and 2601 mg, respectively (p < 0.05). Calorie intakes for men were 1678.5 kcal, which was only 84% of RI and 1470.8 kcal for women (92%). Shortages of nutrition including calcium intake and others were very serious and the meal was not nutritionally balanced based upon the study of GMDFO. The menu for the elderly in busy farming season of the area were developed with the use of local products and the information from the study.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the participant’s perception of importance and performance of rural tourism network products that are linked with local resources, and propose the implications on the development direction of such products. The focus is on helping rural tourism network products acquire competencies that will help them evolve their business and differentiate themselves. To reach these objectives, a survey was designed through theoretical research on the motive of rural tourism and on agritourism networks. The survey was carried out on visitors to rural communities that produce rural tourism network products from November, 2015, to January, 2016 using 165 copies of a questionnaire after distributing 175 copies. The first quadrant continue and sustain‘, an area of high importance and high performance, included trial program components, stress reduction, getting away from daily routines, gaining new experiences, comfort, experiencing rural culture, travel expenses, and making memories with family. The second quadrant ‘requires intensive improvement’, an area of high importance but low performance, included having diverse trial programs, refreshment, experiencing agriculture, and education of children. Therefore, continuous interest is required for the area of ‘maintenance’ just as it is for activating educational farms in rural communities and a more fundamental improvement in the operation should be made for the area of ‘intensive management’.
