2010년 경기도 양평군 자연리에서 발생한 땅밀림 지역의 활동연약대 부근 토양 물리적 특성을 파악하기 위해 토양분석을 실시하였다. 우리나라 산지는 기반암 상부의 표토층이 두텁지 않으므로 강우가 계속되면 물이 사면에 집중포화되어 점차 하부로 미끌어지기 쉽다. 급격하게 변화하는 기후로 인해 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하여 산지토사재해에 대한 관심과 경각심이 고조되고 있다. 본 연구는 산지토사재해 중 하나인 땅밀림의 물리적 특성을 파악하여 땅밀림의 선제적 대응에 대한 필요성을 제시하고자 수행하였다. 땅밀림의 평균 경사는 10.2°로 경사가 완만한 지형에서 발생하였다. 땅밀림의 활동연약대 단차지역의 상부와 하부지역을 분석한 후 과학적으로 비교하였다. 토양 삼각도를 이용하여 토양 형태를 판별한 결과, 미사토양, 점토성 모래토양, 모래토양 등으로 다양하였으며, 토양경도에 있어서 땅밀림지의 상부면의 경우 평균 18.74kgf/cm2, 하부면의 경우 평균 21.51 kgf/cm2 로 분석되었다. 땅밀림지의 상부면의 붕적토가 교란되어 경도가 낮게 형성되어 있었고, 단차로 붕괴되어 사면이 와해된 결과로 판단된다. 특히 인장균열 및 단차로 영향받은 하부 지역은 경도가 높으면서 토심이 깊게 측정되어 땅밀림에 취약한 결과를 나타내므로 단차가 발생된 활동연약대에 대해서 대책마련이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to analyze relationships between depression indices, mini nutritional assessment scores, and nutritional quotients among 80 elderly in Yangpyeong-gun and to identify factors that help prevent depression and malnutrition. Nutrition assessment scores were low in the high-risk group (PHQ-9 score 10), and nutritional quotient scores were lower in the high-risk group than in the normal group (PHQ-9 score 4). Interestingly, the consumption frequencies of fruits, eggs, and nuts were low in the high-risk group, and subjective health awareness, dental condition, and sleep were poorer. The total PHQ-9 score was correlated with malnutrition, body mass index, calf circumference, weight change, independent daily living, reduced meal amount, water intake, and the need for help when eating. Analysis of correlations between items of the PHQ-9 and nutritional status evaluation indices showed that a self-perceived feeling of depression, low energy, difficulty controlling sleep or appetite, negative thoughts (e.g., failure, disappointment), and difficulty concentrating were negatively correlated with total nutritional status scores. These results show that attention is required when food or water intake decreases and that deviation from normal sleep and appetite cycles flags the need to prepare guidelines to prevent depression.

This study was to establish the floristic composition of resources vascular plants of Mt. Yongmunsan (1,157m). This work was investigated during the April to September in 2009. Resources vascular plants were composed of 97 families, 267 genera, 351 species, 4 subspecies, 38 varieties and 7 formae, total 400 taxa. Among the investigated resources plants, 11 taxa (2%) were Korean endemic species. The special plants based on floral region by Ministry of Environment were 39 taxa; V grade species 1 taxa, IV grade species 3 taxa, III grade species 6 taxa, II grade species 9 taxa and I grade species 20 taxa. A naturalized plants were 23 species, correspond to 7.93% of total 290 species appeared in South Korea.

The study is a comparative analysis of the differences in economic activities of two rural villages near the city. It is the general notion that rural villages near large cities lose the characteristics of traditional rural villages and change the areas with urban characteristics due to the influence of urbanization. The survey also showed that Munho 4-ri and Jeongbae 1-ri in Gyeonggi-do have urban characteristics, such as population growth, agricultural activity reduction and non-agricultural activity increase, and community activity reduction. However, they also found that there were important differences in the future development patterns of the two villages. In other words, the reasons and purposes of migration of people moving to the two villages, the differences in the system of economic activity in the villages, and the differences in community cooperation are emerging. Therefore, the study shows that policies to develop rural villages near cities need to be implemented differently based on the characteristics of those villages.

여행을 하는 사람들은 기념하고 싶거나 추억을 공유하는 마음으로 타인에게 선물을 주거나 자신에게 추억을 간직하는 의도에서 여행지마다 독창적이고 차별화된 관광기념품을 구매하고 싶어 한다. 흔히 관광기념품이라고 하면 지역특색이 잘 나타난 농산물 가공품이나 공산품인데 주로 휴대하기가 싶고 가격도 적절하고 쓰임새나 보관도 용이한 민.공예품이 가장 많이 선택된다. 최근에는 시대적 트랜드에 맞춰 수공예적인 특성이 두드러진 민.공예품이 IT기술과 접목된 상품으로 거듭나고 대량생산이 가능한 상품으로 개발되고 있는 추세이다. 지역문화만이 각각 독특함을 지니고 있기에 정보화 된 지구촌 사회에서 보면 어쩌면 제각기 차별화 된 상품을 만들어야만 할 것이다. 지구촌 시대에 글로벌한 생활양식이 교류되다 보니 나라마다 독특함이 있는 소재개발과 디자인이 가장 두각을 나타내고 있다. 현 시대는 지구촌 시대여서 문화와 환경이 지역간, 나라 간의 경계도 모호해져 가고 있기에 더 더욱 그 지역만의 관광기념품과 문화상품이 필요할지도 모른다. 이에 본 연구는 우리나라 지자체별로 관광기념품 공모전을 개최하는 자료를 수집하여 품목, 소재, 가격, 홍보지원 내용을 분석하여 관광기념품을 지속적으로 개발하려는데 있다. 그리고 예술가들의 지역산업현장의 참여를 위해 공동체 모델인 협동조합을 제시하려 한다. 지역브랜드와 함께 문화예술분야가 지역산업으로 발전하고, 나아가 예술가들의 안정적인 생업의 계기가 마련되길 기대해 본다.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the characteristics of intermediary organizations for rural tourism by analyzing how they are run, especially in Yangpyeong-gun and Icheon-si Nadri groups, and to further look for the desirable role they should play. Since the activities of these intermediary groups have not been accumulated enough to be able to be used for a study, grounded theory was adopted as deemed appropriate among other qualitative research approaches for this paper. Three main findings of the current research are as follows. First, the rural tourism intermediary organizations have characteristics that are leaning towards local villages more than visitors, although they are in the middle of a spectrum stretching between 'visitors to the green villages' on one end and the 'green villages' on the other end. Second, the intermediary groups work not just as a bridge among different green villages but also as a mediator, facilitator and a guide, noting that such roles can vary significantly depending on the level of competence of the groups themselves and the extent to which the government steps in. Third, the tourism intermediary organizations can contribute to local community-building, going beyond the boundaries of green village. They help to improve the quality of tour experience which leads to revitalization of local economy, and during the course of operating the intermediary groups, the community in the village can set up rules and resolve disputes and conflicts. Thus, the activities of the groups have the potential to create a local community by affecting not just at a village level but to a broader area where their operation is based on. Implications of this study are suggested in three ways. First, the paper looked at the interaction between rural tourism intermediary organizations and stakeholder in a comprehensive way with a qualitative research approach taken. Second, it identified the role and tasks of rural tourism intermediary organizations. Third, it is important to ensure that the tourism intermediary organizations play the local community-oriented role.

For the improvement of the cultural rural village(new rural village project), it is very important to find the various planning alternatives. The purpose of this study is to suggest the ideas which are able to be applied to the rural site planning. The YoungMoon project site located in Kyunggi province was selected case study, The followings are suggestions developed in the process of preparing an alternative plan for the case study. 1) The preparing of the rural site plan is the organizing process of the planning ideas responsive to the condition of both a project site and the project directions. 2) In developing the schematic plan, it is very useful to introduce the cluster madang (small public open space) including 25 houses as a basic planning unit. 3) In comparison with the project plan, the alternative plan presented by this study has advantages of amenity and public space of the residential environment of the new rural village. It is properly said that we have to more and more discuss the best solution to take in planning the rural site, and this efforts contribute the improvement of the quality of the new village project.
