Since a free-learning semester has been introduced to middle school curriculum, interest in career experience programs has increased. To respond to this new demand, we developed a continuous agriculture-related career experience program linked with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education, and we examined the program’s effects on the job awareness of middle school students. The program was conducted from April 8, 2015 to June 24, 2015, and consisted of 12 classes. The direct experience subprogram was based on 13 different horticultural activities that reflect producing (nine programs), cooking (two programs), and sales (two programs) of horticultural produces. For the indirect experience subprogram, we preliminarily selected 10 representative agricultural jobs, and based on the keywords analyzed from 7 direct experience programs, we chose to introduce seven jobs to the students by videos and the three others by written material. We then investigated the effect of introductory videos on job interest, understanding, and preference by the students. We found that the student’s interest, understanding, and preference regarding each job were significantly improved when direct experience and video watching were combined. Career awareness was improved for gardener (47.0%), nursery grower (42.0%), rural extension official (31.1%), eco-friendly farm material developer (30.9%), agricultural research official (23.4%), plant doctor (19.8%), and agricultural wholesale distribution experts (9.3%). Conclusively, it is expected that career experience programs have the greatest effect on students when both interest in the job and participation on direct experiences are encouraged.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among recognition, preference, and purchasing characteristics for Changnyeong onions and garlic as well as festival satisfaction among participants at agricultural product festivals in the Changnyeong region. Results showed that festival satisfaction of ‘place of festival’ was highest while ‘convenience facility & event contents’ earned the lowest scores. Most subjects (90.5%) had purchased Changnyeong agricultural and processed products. A major purchasing type was fresh agricultural products (66.7%). The pathways to recognize Changnyeong agricultural products were mostly ‘promotion by related institutions’ (22.0%), ‘family · relatives’ (20.8%), ‘mass media’ (16.6%), and ‘festivals and events’ (16.1%). The most considered factors for purchasing regional products were ‘geographical origin’ and ‘ingredients’. Changnyeong onion showed higher scores for recognition and preference and rate of purchase experience and intention than for garlic. The correlation coefficients of recognition and preference for onion and galic were 0.603 (p<0.001) and 0.598 (p<0.001), respectively. The explanation power (R2) of related variables for purchase of Changnyeong onions was 0.258. The regression coefficients (β) for ‘recognition’, ‘preference’ and ‘convenient facility & event contents’ were positive, whereas the regression coefficient for ‘price’ was negative. Recognition, preference, and convenient facility & event contents with garlic purchase showed a positive relationship (R2=0.253). The most effective promotion method to increase sales of Changnyeong agricultural products was ‘local festivals and events’ (27.8%).

미얀마는 생태적 다양성과 함께 풍부한 수량, 비옥한 토질 등 양질의 농업환경을 갖고 있다. 1960년대 동남아의 최대 쌀 수출국이었던 미얀마가 농업 후진국으로 전락한 것은 농업에 대한 열악한 투자와 자본과 기술의 부족으로 농업의 기계화나 비료 사용이 극히 제한되어 농업생산성이 떨어졌기 때문이다. 이에 본 논문은 미얀마 농업분야의 현 상황을 검토한 후 한국의 발전과정에서 도출한 경험을 바탕으로 미얀마의 농업개발을 위한 제안을 목적으로 한다. 현재 미얀마의 농업과 농촌발전을 저해하는 제약요소들은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 높은 생산비용에 비해 낮은 품질의 농산품, 낮은 생산성, 농업인프라의 부족 등 농업생산분야에서 한계를 보이고 있다. 둘째, 불안정한 수급에 의해 농산물가격의 급격한 변동 및 저장시설부족으로 인한 농산물마케팅에 문제점가 있다. 셋째, 농업 연구 및 지도 관련기관 직원들의 기술 및 지식수준이 매우 낮으며, 낙후된 시설과 장비부족 등으로 농민들에게 제한적인 농업기술 교육 및 훈련을 제공하고 있다. 넷째, 농촌경제의 활성화를 위해 설립한 금융시스템이 설립 당시 역할을 제대로 수행하지 못하고 있으며, 실효성이 매우 떨어진다. 다섯째, 정부내 연구 및 지도기관간의 유기적 협력이 이루어지질 않아 농업연구결과가 현장에 연결되는데 어려움이 나타나고 있다. 미얀마의 농업발전을 위해 한국의 경험을 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 한국의 경우 미얀마의 현재보다 더욱 열악한 환경속에서도 1960년대부터 녹색혁명과 백색혁명 및 새마을운동을 통한 복합적인 농업개발을 통하여 농업분야를 포함한 성공적인 경제발전을 이룩하였다. 한국의 경험으로부터 미얀마의 농업개발을 위해 제시되는 중요한 교훈은 시대환경과 흐름에 맞게 농업정책이 조정되었다는 것이다. 한국의 발전경험을 중심으로 미얀마의 농업발전을 위한 교훈은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 농업의 생산성을 제고시켜야 한다. 농업용수 개발 및 관개시설의 개선사업을 통해 생산성을 향상시키고, 전문기관을 신설 또는 조정하여 연구와 농촌지도를 통해 생산현장에 새로운 기술을 전파함으로써 생산성을 증가시킨다. 둘째, 농촌지역을 활력화 시킨다. 농촌인프라를 개선하고, 농촌금융을 선진화하며, 새마을운동을 통한 정신계몽을 추진하는 등 농촌지역을 활력화 시킨다. 셋째, 농산물 도매시장과 농산물의 가공저장시설의 건설 및 유기적인 유통체계를 구축하여 농산물유통체계를 개선한다.

As a rise in national income has resulted in the growth in tourism demand, many studies on developing and managing tourism resources were publicized. In this context, this study was conducted to analyze the demand and willingness to pay(WTP) using contingent valuation method for agricultural experience of Daegu Urban Agriculture Park and to suggest a proper participation fee. The survey targeting Daegu citizens was performed, and we obtained 346 valid samples. We carried out the logistic analysis and figured out that sex, age, education and alienation area for urban agriculture affected to probability of agricultural experience participation. As the result of estimating willingness to pay(WTP), the measured range with this samples was from 6,052 to 16,436won. Finally, we also attained 25,000won as the proper participation fee which enables maximum revenue by conducting the scenario analysis. These findings are important in setting up the construction plan and pricing the appropriate participation fee for Daegu Urban Agriculture Park.

The purpose of this study is to examine the aspects and the characteristics of conflict among people in agricultural villages shown in the course of conducting a rural community development project, and to suggest a theoretical basis for the solution of the conflict. various theories on rural community development projects and conflict, and relevant sociopsychological theories were perused to lay a theoretical foundation for the study, and 5 actual cases of conflicts in agricultural experience villages were analyzed in the light of the grounded theory which is one of suitable methods of qualitative research. And comparative and comprehensive analysis of conflicts of different farm villages was done. Based on the result of analysis of conflict among residents on agricultural experience village, this paper suggests some ways for solution of the conflict.
