In order to understand basic data for improving the fishing system and fishing vessel structure in coastal improved stow net fishery, a questionnaire survey and on-site hearing were conducted from May 10 to June 11, 2019 to analyze opinions on the improvement of operation status and fishing vessel structure. The questionnaire survey consisted of ten questions on the operation status of coastal improved stow net fishery and six questions on the improvement of fishing vessel structure, and the results of each question were analyzed by the region, the captain’s age, the captain’s career and the age of fishing vessel. As a result of analyzing opinions on the operation status of the coastal improved stow net fishery, it was found that the average time required for casting net was 32.8 to 33.0 minutes and that the average time required for hauling net was 41.0 to 42.2 minutes which took 10 to 12 minutes more than for casting net. The most important work requiring improvement during fishing operation (the first priority) were ‘hauling net operation,’ ‘readjustment and storage of fishing gear,’ and ‘fish handling’ and the hardest factor in fishing management were in the order of ‘reduction of catch,’ ‘labor shortage’ and ‘rising labor costs.’ The most institutional improvement that is most needed in coastal improved stow net fishery was an ‘using fine mesh nets.’ Most of the respondent to the questions on the experience in hiring foreign crews was ‘either hiring or willing to hire foreign crews,’ and the average number of foreign crews employed was found to be 2.3 to 2.4 persons. The most important reason for hiring (or considering employment) foreign crews was ‘high labor costs.’ The degree of communication with foreign crews during fishing operation were ‘moderate’ or ‘difficult to direct work.’ The most important problem in hiring foreign crews (the first priority) was an ‘illegal departure.’ As the survey results on the opinion of structural improvement of coastal improved stow net fishing vessel, the degree of satisfaction with fishing vessel structure related to fishing operation was found to be somewhat unsatisfactory, with an average of 3.3 points on a five-point scale. The inconvenient structure of fishing vessel in possession (the first priority), the space needed most for the construction of new fishing vessel (the first priority) and the space considered important for the construction of new fishing vessel (the first prioprity) was a ‘fish warehouse.’ The most preferred equipment for the construction of new fishing vessel were ‘engine operation monitoring’ and ‘navigation safety devices.’ The average size (tonnage class), the average horse power and the average total length of fishing vessel for proper profit and safety fishing operation was between 13.8 and 14.0 tonnes, 808.3 to 819.5 H.P. and 23.4 to 23.5 meters, respectively. The results of the operation status of coastal improved stow net fishery and the requirement for improving the fishing vessel structure are expected to be provided as basic data for reference when we build or improve the fishing vessel.

목적 : 본 연구의목적은 전문가들의 의견 조사를 통해 고령운전자 운전제도의개선방안에 대한 기초 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 운전 및 고령자에 대한 전문가 10인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 조사결과는 SPSS 12.0 Version을 사용하여 통계 분석하였다. 결과 : 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고령운전자의운전적성 검사를 현행보다 강화해야 한다는 응답이 가장 많았으며, 둘째, 외국에서 실시되는 고령운전자 적성검사제도 중에 국내에 도입이 필요한 제도에 대한 인식을 확인하기 위해 선별하여 제시하여 확인한 결과, 자진반납제도 구축을 제외한 대부분의 제도에 대해 도입이 필요하다고 응답하였다. 마지막으로 고령운전자를 위한 운전기능검사가 필요하다고 응답하였다. 결론 : 고령운전자의운전제도를 강화하고 고령운전자들에게 객관적이고 타당한 운전기능검사를 실시한다면 고령운전자들의안전운전 증진에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 실제 외항선에 종사하는 선장 및 항해사 260명을 대상으로 GMDSS 통신장비와 항해사가 정보를 인식할 수 있는 대표적인 항해장비 ECDIS에 대하여 사용실태, 만족도, 만족 및 불만족의 이유를 조사하였다. 응답자들은 통신장비 중 MF/HF와 INMARSAT (telex)를 각각 자주 사용하는 장비 3, 4위로 선택하였지만 동시에 불필요한 장비 2, 3위에 해당된다고 응답하였고 이러한 응답 결과는 일부 통신 장비의 경우, 잦은 사용 빈도가 항해 안전의 유용성 크기와 비례하지 않다는 것을 보여준다. 특히 통신장비를 사용할 때 응답자의 42.3%와 50%는 ‘장비의 운용상 편리’와 ‘해당 정보의 필요’가 해당 장비 사용의 만족도를 높이는데 중요하다고 답변하였다. 이를 통해 선박의 안전을 위해서는 새로운 설비, 기술, 서비스의 도입 뿐 아니라 ‘정보의 접근성’, ‘정보의 적절성’, ‘장비의 용이성’이 중요하다는 사실을 알 수 있다. IMO에서 논의되는 다양한 정책과 규정이 선박의 안전을 보장하는 장치로 충분히 활용되기 위해서는 최종 사용자를 대상으로 한 구체적이고 실질적인 검증이 보완되어야 한다.
