본 연구는 시설원예단지의 경관개선점을 찾아보고 친환경적 조성방법과 생태계 서비스 기능이 최소화로 저감될 수 있는 방안제시를 목표로 했다. 연구결과 대부분의 평가요소에서 네덜란드, 일본 경관은 긍정적인 결과였으나 우리나라 경관은 다소 부정적으로 분석되어 비닐하우스는 일본을 유리온실은 네덜란드 경관으로 개선방향을 설정할 것을 제안하였다. 따라서 미래세대에 지속가능한 농업경관을 제공하기 위한 방안으로 생태계서비스 기능 중 경관창출을 고려한 친환경 온실단지 조성을 제안을 제안하였으며, 앞으로 추진될 대규모 간척지 개발 사업에도 본 연구가 활용되길 기대하였다.

Background: South Korea is one of fastest aging countries in the world. Poor balance and falls of the elderly are main health issues. Objects: The goal of this study was to understand the association between the socioeconomical factors and the standing balance of elderly living in the rural and urban area. Methods: One hundred sixty-six elderly participants who were older than 65 and were able to walk without an assistive device were recruited in the city of Gwangju and in the rural area of Jeonnam, South Korea. All participants performed the static and dynamic standing balance tests. Static standing balance was measured with chronometer in seconds while standing on one leg. Dynamic balance was tested with the timed up and go test (TUG), measured in seconds while getting up from a chair and walking 3 meters and back to sit. The static and dynamic standing balance was analyzed using analysis of variance and the Fisher’s Least Significant Difference post hoc test. Results: Male participants from both areas had no difference in one leg standing and TUG. The female elderly living in rural area took shorter in TUG than females living in urban area. Age decreased the one leg standing time in both areas while did not affect the TUG significantly. As the monthly income increased, both of one leg standing and TUG increased in urban area, while the medium monthly income showed best performance (it was not statistically significant) in both of one leg standing and TUG in rural area. Conclusion: Socioeconomical factors affects differently the standing balance of the elderly living in rural and urban South Korea. Female living alone in urban area with low monthly income demonstrated worst standing balance in this study.

This study establishes a landscape plan and landscape-related income generation project plan based on the Weonsaekjang village in Jeonju-si by applying location characteristics and tangible and intangible village assets to enhance the quality of living environment of local residents as well as the competitiveness of this village as a focal village for rural tourism. Planning was carried out in the order of theoretical consideration, village resource investigation and analysis, basic design, and detailed project planning. This study is significant for the following reasons. First, it has formed an appealing image of this village as a place for rural tourism by applying differentiated village assets as the theme of landscape plan. Secondly, a village for rural tourism in which residents can constantly live has been developed as infrastructure for tourism and is based on the residential environment. Moreover, a landscape plan that enables visitors to experience activities that stimulate their senses has been established to promote tourism that boosts consumption. Further, landscape elements that used to hamper the village landscape were enhanced as landmarks to create unique tourism resources. In addition, the effects of landscape plan were maximized through a flexible approach that encourages the linkage between this village and adjacent tourist attractions. Finally, the participation of residents in the project was promoted from the stage of planning to ensure driving force for the project implementation and maintenance.

PURPOSES :This study proposes standards for rural access road pavement section and thickness design considering existing access road construction conditions; the study also proposes a complementary policy that can be used for design convenience.METHODS:Various literature review and case studies had been performed in terms of rural access road section and thickness design, both domestically and internationally, and this was followed by domestic rural access road field surveys. KPRP and KENLAYER were used to analyze the commonalities and predict the remaining life. Data on real cost is used to select an appropriate construction method through economic analysis.RESULTS:The economic efficiency of concrete pavement (15×15) was the highest in terms of economic efficiency of performance life and traffic volume. In the case of asphalt pavement, it is considered that the most economical method is to implement micro-surfacing method four times as a preventive maintenance method (once every 10 years and 4.5 years for asphalt concrete pavement and MS construction method, respectively). Repairable asphalt pavement is advantageous for areas where heavy vehicles are expected to pass. In the case of other general areas, it is considered economical to place concrete (15×15) pavement. However, as analytical results on its performance life are unavailable, it is to be considered for study in the future.CONCLUSIONS :This study proposed interim design guidelines based on various domestic and international design guidelines and case studies. However, in order to develop the final design criteria applicable to the field, it is necessary to (a) estimate the bearing capacity of the lower level of the pavement at various sites, (b) estimate the daily traffic volume, (c) implement advanced low-cost pavement technologies, and (d) propose maintenance standards and techniques for long-term performance.

Although it has been well known that the Saemaul Undong had a direct relation with the water resources development during 1970’s, its contribution to the water resources and increased income in rural communities has not been thoroughly quantified so far. In order to assess the contribution of the Saemaul Undong in terms of rural water resources development, we investigated various historical data produced by the central and local governments in relation to water resources development. The results show the direct and indirect contribution of the Saemaul Undong to the water resources development in rural communities such as sewage works, water supply facilities, shared wells, and river works. The results also showed a positive relation between per-house income in rural communities and areas of irrigated paddies, which were rapidly increased during 1970’s. These results can be utilized to transplant the positive aspect of the Saemaul Undong to developing countries focusing on water resources development in rural areas.

The objective of this study is to explore the preference differences of experience programs in rural areas according to socio-demographic characteristics. For this purpose, data were collected from a total of 481 adults visited in rural social enterprises in 2015, using self-administered questionnaire survey. Twenty-six items for evaluating the preference of experience program were measured using 5 score Likert scale and were extracted to 6 factors such as physical, ecological, historical culture, recreational and healing, watching show, and rural life experience. The results were as follows: first, visitors preferred the ecological experience the most and in order of recreational and healing, rural life, physical activity, historical culture, and watching show. Secondly, physical activity were preferred by young people, the unmarried, and student. Ecological, historical culture, recreational and healing, rural life experience were preferred by higher income earner or highly educated. Based on these results, implications for developing customized consumer’s experience program for rural social enterprises will be suggested.

Level of urbanization in China has reached 53.73% in 2013, indicating a tremendous progress on the urbanization of China. On the other hand, the number of villages in China reduces by around one million from 3.6 million in 2000 to 2.7 million in 2010 (Zhang, 2014). Issues in both urban and rural areas of China appear, including the imbalance between increased population and limited resources in urban region, and more significantly, the increasing disparity between rural and urban areas. Chinese researchers interpret and analyse these matters from different perspectives. For instance, Zheng (2006) and Ma (2006) suggest the importance of the infrastructure construction and public service. Wu (2006) advises that the government should pay attention to the development of the secondary and tertiary industry. Wen (2005) proposes that the improvement of social institution and the recovery of social cultural environment are required to achieve sustainability in the urbanization process in China. Previous studies in environmental psychology put quality of life, attachment to place, and residence satisfaction at the center to understand the relationship between inhabitants and their neighborhood of residence. However, there are gaps in this research realm in both practice and theories. Firstly, very limited research studies this environmental psychology issue in China (e.g. Mao, Fornara, Manca, Bonnes, & Bonaiuto, 2015). Secondly, there are different opinions on the causal order between quality, attachment, and satisfaction. Research on the relationship between perceived residential environment quality (PREQ), place attachment, and environmental satisfaction has not reached a consensus. The debate on the direction of the causal relationship between perceived quality and satisfaction has been summarized by Bradya and Robertson (2001). They conclude that the quality to satisfaction causal order holds up well across diverse cultures. However, relevant debate is still ongoing. A number of research articles place satisfaction as an antecedent to attachment, e.g. Chen, Dwyer, and Firth (2014); Lee, Kyle, and Scott (2012); Ramkissoon and Mavondo (2015); etc. Some argue that place attachment is an indicator of satisfaction. Kyle et al. (2004) investigate the effect of place attachment on the perceived values of tourists and find that place attachment is an important factor explaining the variance of perceived values. This is supported by research e.g. Hwang, Lee, and Chen (2005); Prayag and Ryan (2012); Yuksel, Yuksel, Biljm (2010); etc. As to the relationship between perceived quality and attachment, the debate has not stopped. Through comparisons, Mesch and Manor (1996) conclude that the residents who give a higher evaluation of the social and natural environment may have greater place attachment. Brown, Perkins, and Brown (2003) also suggest that the residents who agree that the street environment is better would attach to this place. Sam, Bayram, and Bilgel (2012) have certified the relationship between residential environment quality and place attachment. Furthermore, Borrie and Roggenbuck (2001) and Walker and Ryan (2008) find that the connection between human beings and the nature environment would affect their affection toward the environment. It means that the closer the relationship with the nature environment is, the stronger the attachment would be, which in turn, enhances the intentions to protect the environment. This quality to satisfaction relationship is supported by other research such as Bonaiuto, Aiello, Perugini, Bonnes, and Ercolani (1999); Grisaffe and Nguyen (2011); Yu, Chen, and Chen (2015); etc. Nevertheless, a different opinion arguing that attachment to a place may affect one’s perception on the quality related to a place is emerging in tourism research (e.g. Neuvonen, Pouta, & Sievänen, 2010). This paper takes the credit of quality → attachment → satisfaction causal order as the initial model and proposes three hypotheses as follows. H1a: One’s PREQ has a positive impact on his/her attachment to this place; H2a: One’s attachment to a place has a positive impact on his/her satisfaction to the environmental settings in this place; H3a: Place attachment in addition performs as a mediating role between PREQ and environment satisfaction.To be noted, the initial model has its theoretical basis as discussed above but is not necessarily the absolute optimal model. Relatively, this model provides more theoretical interpretation and practical implications in the specific research context: residential psychology in urban and rural areas of China. On this basis, this article further examines a competing model illustrating an alternative theoretical framework on the relationships between these three constructs (satisfaction → attachment → quality). Relatively, another group of hypotheses in this competing model is listed as follows. H1b: One’s attachment to a place has a positive impact on his/her PREQ; H2b: One’s satisfaction to the environmental settings in this place has a positive impact on his/her attachment to this place; H3b: Place attachment in addition performs as a mediating role between environment satisfaction and PREQ. A survey approach is employed and data are collected from several backgrounds. Dataset A (rural) is collected from three villages from Heilongjiang Province and two villages from Shandong Province in China from July to August 2014. The choices of the provinces, rural areas, and the sampling process are random. 490 valid questionnaires are included in the data analysis. Dataset B (urban) is collected via an online survey portal, which allows a nationwide sampling reach. In total 1368 online survey entries are recorded and 420 valid questionnaires are included, resulting in a valid rate of 30.7%. The measures for each construct are based on an extensive literature review. The measurement of perceived residential environment quality is from Sam, Bayram, & Bilgel’s (2012) development on the perception of residential environment. The measurement of place attachment in this study is adopted from Kyle, Graefe, and Manning’s (2005) and Chen, Dwyer, and Firth’s (2014) evaluation based place attachment dimensionality and scales. As for the scale of environmental satisfaction, Pelletier, Legault, and Tuson’s (1996) measure was applied. All the entire variables adopted multiple-item, 5-point Likert scales were adopted, where “1” indicated “strongly disagree” and “5” indicated “strongly agree”. After pre-testing the preliminary version of the survey instrument, a revised version was developed. This study adopts structural equation modeling (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS) modeling given the small sample size and the explorative purpose of this study (Dijkstra & Henseler, 2015a). The software used was Smart PLS 3.0. The reliability and validity of the constructs were assessed. Cronbach’s alpha and the value of CR of each construct were found to exceed the cut-off value of 0.70 (Fornell & Larcker, 1981), except for adequacy of education which is close to 0.70 (only for Cronbach’s alpha but not for CR). Furthermore, the AVE of each construct exceeded the variance attributable to its measurement error cut-off value of 0.50 (Chin, 1998; Fornell & Larcker, 1981). In addition, heterotrait-monotrait ratio (HTMT) is recommended as a better method to test discriminant validity (Henseler, Dijkstra, Sarstedt, Ringle, Diamantopoulos, Straub, Ketchen, Hair, Hult, & Calantone, 2014). The result shows that there is neither value of the HTMT higher than the threshold of 0.85 nor confidence interval containing the value one, indicating that all the constructs exhibit satisfactory discriminant validity. The hypothesized effects in the theoretical model were tested by structural equation modeling (SEM). The first group of models tested the effect of perceived environmental quality on environmental satisfaction through place attachment i.e. initial model (Model A, Model B, Model C), while the second group of models tested the reverse effect of environmental satisfaction on perceived environmental quality through place attachment (Model D, Model E, Model F). Both the full model and the multi-group model were tested. The value of SRMR of the full model that tests either the effect of perceived environmental quality on environmental satisfaction (SRMR = 0.104, t = 41.826, p < 0.001) or the reversed effect (SRMR = 0.106, t = 37.736, p < 0.001) shows that the models fit the data quite well (Dijkstra & Henseler, 2015b). However, the former is little bit more significant. In this study, PREQI is found different impacts on place attachment and environmental satisfaction. This provides evidence to support a similar mechanism of studying residents’ psychology with SERVEQUAL model. However, the model testing is found significantly different between rural and urban samples, indicating a systematic difference in the psychology of rural and urban populations. Quality  attachment  satisfaction causal order is found significant and supported by both samples in this study. However, a reversed causal order model (satisfaction  attachment  quality) is also supported by the samples. Although the results may not be able to end the debate on alternative models between PREQ, place attachment, and environmental satisfaction, this paper provides empirical evidence from a specific context (urban and rural China) for further research. Specifically, PREQ has a significant impact on place attachment in both urban and rural areas in China. As for the impact of place attachment on environmental satisfaction as well as the indirect impact of PREQ on environmental satisfaction, the influence is more significant in cities of China compared to rural areas. This suggests in the urban areas in China, affective and emotional responses to their lives play an important role to residents. Local government in cities should balance between improving and maintaining quality of the environment and strengthening local residents’ psychological attachment to the place. Governments in rural areas, on the other hand, should lay great focus on the physical aspects of the environment including nature, health, education, commerce, and venture of the rural areas, to enhance residents’ living experience and satisfaction. Further, there are some limitations. Although this study attempts to clarify the framework of “perception-affection-attitude” in the field of environment management, considering the practical implications, the future study could bring the individuals’ behaviors or intentions into this model such as willingness-to-pay for environment-friendly products. It will also benefit from reviewing more literature on community-based social marketing.

Rural markets, especially in countries like India hold strong potential as emerging markets. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyse factors acting as drivers for companies to enter and serve rural markets and also to identify interrelationships among them along with their driver and dependence power, with special reference to India. A total of 13 enablers were identified on the basis of focused group discussions and interviews with experts from academics and industry. An interpretative structural modelling (ISM) and fuzzy MICMAC analysis were used to identify levels of hierarchical relationship among the drivers. The findings show that government policies and regulations are some of the most important drivers in rural markets.

Digital divide commonly means the gap among diverse stakeholders, businesses, physical areas, and individual people in terms of opportunities, accessibilities, and usabilities (Acılar, 2011). Lee and Park (2011) and Barzilai-Nahon (2006) suggested that the digital divide issues should be considered as an important public issue because proper public response may enhance or reduce the information gaps by the digital divide. This study is a follow-up study of the study of Lee and Park. This study’s main aim is to clarify the changes of the digital divide in the rural areas during five years and to find out meaningful factors to reduce the gaps between the rural area and urban area. To achieve the research aim, this study analyzes the public data by ITSTAT and previous studies on the digital divide. Also this study follows the system thinking approach to model the causal relationships among diverse factors on the digital divide. With the results, this study suggests that the factors to measure the digital divide should be re-designed including smartphone penetration and accessibilities. Especially, current digital divide scoring factors should be considered in the way of social welfare.

Kim Gyu-nam. 2016. “Nation lead ideology and Social taboo emerged from Personal Records of a man in rural Korea”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(1). 37~65. The aim of this paper is to analysis nation lead ideology and social taboo in the modernization era based on the language life history memoirs and diary of an old man in a rural area of Korea. Modern society in korea was built up through the colonial period, separated government of south-north Korea and the Korean war, Saemauel Undong. ≪Weolphayugo≫ and ≪Changphyeong diary≫ are a village dimension report on these periods. Even though the writer is an average person who adapted to the process of making a nation in each period successfully, he caused conflict with his family and neighbors constantly. His conflicts were caused by his attitude about the ideology of making a nation. It is modernity that influenced his conscience. It's affect on his conscience caused conflict with his family. He was the centre of power in the village in every period and is a typical self-made person. But his life was not happy and he became thought of as a troublesome person. In fact he was a victim of making a nation by each government in Korea. His success made him proud of by himself but it was a trap that made him a troublesome person in his family and village. Every society with conflict of a cross-cultural period and every nation should reflect upon his national consciousness and taboo seriously. This paper is beneficial for us because we can think back on ourselves in inter-cultural society.

국내 농업은 각종 FTA, 고령화, 벼농사 가격하락 등 다양 한 위기에 처해있다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위한 방안 으로 시설원예를 통한 농산물 생산이 주목받아 2010년 이 후 농업에서 원예산업이 약 40% 정도를 차지하고 있다. 이 러한 원예산업은 국내 농업분야에서 국제 경쟁력 제고를 위 해 시설원예의 규모화, 단지화를 추진하고 있으며, 새만금을 비롯한 간척지 사업에 적용을 고려하고 있는 실정이다. 생태 적 서비스의 제공은 인간사회에 필수적으로 필요요소 이지 만, 농업경관에서 시설원예단지 조성은 불투수면적 확장과 생물서식처 손실로 인해 생태계서비스 기능저하의 원인이 될 수 있다고 평가된다. 하지만 최근의 시설원예단지 개발은 대규모, 에너지 고효율에 초점이 이루어져 있어 농업경관 안에서의 생태계서비스에 대한 고려사항은 전무한 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 시설원예단지 조성 시 고려해야할 생태계서 비스 기능 분석 결과 수자원함양(Groundwater recharge), 지 표수저장(Water storage), 양서파충류 서식처(Amphibian & Reptile habitat), 수서곤충 서식처(Aquatic insect habitat), 홍수조절(Flood control), 수질정화(Water purification), 조 류 서식처(Avian habitat), 경관창출(Creating landscape), 식생다양성(Vegetation diversity), 체험/생태교육(Experience, Education), 생물학적 방재(Biological control), 어류 서식 처(Fishery habitat), 기후순화(Climate regulation), 포유류 서식처(Mammal habitat), 대기정화(Air quality regulation), 유전적 다양성 보존(Mainenance of genetic diversity), 휴식 제공(Rest area) 순으로 분석된 바 있다. 그 중 경관창출 기 능은 논, 밭, 산림, 가옥 등 농업경관이 가지는 본래의 특유 경관으로 쾌적하고, 자연적이며, 밝고, 좋고, 친근감 있고 아름다운 경관으로 평가되고 있다. 하지만 국내 시설원예단 지 운영의 경우 경관에 대한 고려 없이 적재물, 폐비닐, 연료 통 등이 질서 없이 방치되고 기존 농업경관과 다소 조화롭 지 않은 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시설원예단지의 생태계서비스 기 능 중 경관창출기능을 제고하기 위한 방안으로 국내외 사례 에 대한 경관이미지 평가를 실시하고자 하였다. 이러한 연 구를 통해 농촌지역의 경관을 아름답게 유지, 개선하고 앞 으로 조성 될 대규모 시설원예단지 조성 시 경관창출이 가 능 할 수 있도록 활용하고자 한다. 연구대상지는 국내 온실 분포현황을 고려해 대표적 시설 원예단지인 비닐하우스(Vinyl Greenhouse : v), 유리온실 (Glass Greenhouse : g)로 구분하였다. 비닐하우스단지는 충남 부여군 세도면에 위치한 토마토 재배단지를 선정하고 비교를 위해 일본(Japan : J) 후쿠오카현 원예단지 경관을 선정하였다. 유리온실은 국내(Korea, K) 최대 규모로 알려 진 구미 옥성리 화훼단지 경관을 선정하고 네델란드 (Nederland : N) Berkel en Rodenrijs 지역 유리온실 경관과 비교하였다. 경관 평가는 형용사를 활용한 어의구별척으로 실시하였다. 형용사 선정은 농업, 농촌, 경관과 관련된 대표 적인 선행연구인 KRCC(2007), Jo et al.(2012), Son et al.(2011), Kim et al.(2009), Yoo et al.(2000), Kim & Kim(2010), Joo & Lee(2012), Yoo et al.(2009), Lee(2005), Sin(2006) 등 총 10개 분석하여 사용빈도가 높고 본 연구에 적합하다고 판단되는 것으로 선정하였다. 사진 슬라이드는 연구대상 지역별로 3구역을 선정하였다. 평가는 2015년 10 월에 단국대학교 조경학과 3학년 51명, 경상대학교 생물산 업기계공학과 3학년 50명을 대상으로 실시하여 총 101명의 답변을 연구에 활용하였다. 평가결과 국내 비닐하우스 경관(Kv)은 인공적이고(-0.75), 갑갑하며(-0.50), 생명없어(-0.23) 보이는 등 대체로 부정적 인 결과로 분석 된 반면, 일본 비닐하우스 경관(Jv)은 조용하 고(1.38), 넓으며(1.24), 정돈되고(1.33), 쾌적한(1.31) 등 모 든 형용사에서 긍정의 이미지 평가 결과로 분석되었다. 구미 옥성리 유리온실 경관(Kg)은 넓고(0.66), 정돈되고 (0.57), 평화로운(0.49) 등의 긍정의 이미지로 분석되어 국 내 비닐하우스 경관 보다는 평가 결과가 높았지만 인공적이 고(-0.16), 생명없는(-0.10), 정감없는(-0.20) 등 부정의 이미 지를 포함하고 있어 개선이 필요 할 것으로 판단된다. 이에 반해 네델란드 유리온실 경관(Ng)의 경우 네가지 유형 중 가장 이미지 평가결과가 높게 평가되었다. 본 연구를 통해 시설원예 단지의 경관을 위해 비닐하우스 유형은 일본을 유리온실 유형은 네델란드 형태로 개선을 추진 할 수 있다고 판단된다. 더불어 비닐하우스 경관 보다 는 유리온실 경관이 높게 분석되었으므로 비닐하우스 경관 에 대한 개선이 우선 되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 추가분석을 통해 전봇대, 기름통 등의 가변요소, 녹시율, 도로폭 등을 분석하여 시설원예단지 경관 개선 및 조성모델을 제시하고 자 한다.

This research seeks ways to convert the landscape resources of rural village forest into a tourist resource. The study area was restricted to rural village forests in the city of Namwon; we selected 10 village forests using the evaluation indicators of size, landscape, accessibility, connectivity, historicity, and enhancement possibility. We selected five historic/cultural type groves among the preselected village groves as final target areas for planning and then carried out an analysis of their current status and conditions, which has been included in this research. For Naein village forests, themes concerning the winds of Inpoong-ri and the poongchinadae form of feng shui were used. For Haengjeong village forest, preferentially considered ecological of carpinus laxiflora but that introduced the Dokkaebi, which concerns village forest legends. In the Sagok village forest, the beauty of old pine trees and the champan (vice minister) forest were symbolized; in the Jeonchon village forest, the Battle of Hwangsan was symbolized by connecting it to a location in the neighboring village, the Hwangsan Battle Monument site. The themes of Walgil village forest included the historical culture of the village forest, such as Cheonikseong (a person’s name), a famed doctor who practiced good deeds, stonepiles (stacking of stones), and the pine resin delivery of the Japanese colonial era (the Japanese collected resin from the pines). The tourism resources of village forests is expected to provide residents with a amenity space for relaxation and leisure activities and visitors with a space to experience history and culture.

전국 산림의 68.1%를 차지하고 있는 사유림은 소규모 영세성과 분산된 임야, 부재 산주 등의 이유로 관리와 경영이 제대로 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 게다가 1995년 32개의 도농복합도시가 56개로 늘어나 는 상황에서 도농복합도시에서의 사유림 경영 활성화를 위한 대책은 더욱 시급하다. 이 연구는 도농복 합도시에 거주하는 지역주민을 대상으로 산림 실태에 대한 인식과 산림경영에 대한 참여의사 분석을 통 해 향후 사유림 경영에 대한 정책수립을 위한 기초자료를 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 조사대상지는 울 산광역시 울주군 상북면에 있는 소호리 지역으로서, 전체 산림면적의 약 92.7%가 사유림이며, 우리나라 최초로 협업체가 조성된 곳으로서 도농복합도시 지역의 사유림 활성화 가능성을 분석하기 위한 최적의 장소라 할 수 있다. 도농복합도시에 살고 있는 5개 마을주민을 대상으로 심층설문면접조사를 통해 총 80부 중 72부의 유효 설문지를 이용하여 분석하였다. 설문 분석은 SPSS 12.0K을 활용하였으며 집단 간 비교를 위해 t-test를 이용하였다. 분석결과, 마을 원주민과 이주민은 산림 실태에 대한 인식과 산 림경영에 대한 참여의사에 관하여 차이를 보였으며, 산지은행제도와 같은 방치되고 있는 산림을 매매나 임대차의 형태로 푸는 것은 현실적으로 해답이 되지 않는 것으로 파악되었다. 때문에 지역주민을 이용 한 새로운 형태의 규모화 전략을 수립 할 필요가 있다.

농촌사회의 소득수준 및 생활수준 향상과 더불어 농촌 공공공간 및 시설향상에 대한 요구는 지속적으로 제기되어 왔으며 이에따라 정부도 최근 다양한 방식의 농촌개발과 예산지원을 추진해오고 있다. 그러나 이러한 농촌 공공공간 및 시설의 지원 시 시설의 종류 및 입지 선정이 적절하지 않아 시설의 중복투자, 이용부족으로 인한 시설방치 등 다양한 문제점들이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 농촌마을에 분포하고 있는 다양한 공공공간 및 시설의 분포를 분석하고 이들에 대한 농촌마을의 유형별 중요도를 이해하는데 그 목적이 있다. 주요 연구방법으로는 100명을 대상으로 한 전문가 설문과 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process)를 이용하였으며 이를 통해 세 개의 농촌마을 유형 즉 거점면, 권역, 마을단위의 유형별로 주요 공공시설들간의 상대적 중요도를 분석하였다. 50개 마을을 분석한 결과 농촌마을에서 가장 일반적으로 발견되는 공공시설은 마을회관, 쉼터, 체험센터, 마을진입부, 안내시설로 나타났다. AHP는 세 단계의 비교로 이루어졌는데 첫 번째 마을유형별간의 쌍대비교에서는 거점면, 권역, 마을 순으로 중요도가 나타났다. 농촌 공공공간과 마을유형간의 쌍대비교에서는 모든 마을유형에서 기초생활시설, 문화 복지시설, 농촌관광시설, 소득시설의 순으로 중요도가 나타났다. 마을유형과 공공공간, 공공시설 등 각각의 가중치를 종 합한 중요도에서는 거점면의 경우 공동주차장의 중요성이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났고 다음으로 상수도시설, 공동화장실, 마을회관 순으로 나타났다. 권역에서는 공동주차장의 중요성이 가장 높았으며 다음으로 상수도시설, 체험센터, 마을회관 의 순으로 나타났다. 마을단위에서는 버스정류장이 가장 중요한 시설로 평가되었으며 다음으로 저수지, 하수처리장, 체 험센터의 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 비록 마을의 독특한 사회문화적 환경을 고려한 공공시설의 중요도 평가에는 한계를 안고 있으나 농촌마을에서의 공공시설 계획 시 마을유형의 특성을 고려한 시설의 상대적 중요도를 이해하고 이를 바탕으 로 적절한 시설을 선정하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다

농촌체험의 관심과 체험이 증가되는 상황에서 농촌체험의 지속성과 경쟁력의 확보 차원으로 서비스품질이 중요해지고 있다. 이 연구는 농촌체험을 경험한 서울지역 소비자를 대상으로 서비스품질과 고객만족, 고객만족과 추천의도 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 설문분석은 총 234부이며, 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, 확인적 요인분석, 가설검정을 하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 신뢰도의 크론바흐 알파값은 0.6 이상, 타당도의 요인적재량은 0.7 이상, 평균분산추출은 0.5 이상이 었다. 둘째, 확인적 요인분석의 모형적합도는, CMIN/DF, GFI, TLI, CFI, RMSEA이 전반적으로 적합하였다. 셋째, 가설검정의 결과, H1의 H1-2(유형성)와 H1-3(응답성)을 제외한 H1-1(신뢰성), H1-4(확신성), H1-5(공감성)는 고객만족 에 긍정적인 영향을 주었고, H2는 고객만족이 추천의도에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 따라서 농촌체험의 서비스를 이용자와 제공자 간의 상호작용으로 볼 때, 서비스품질에 대한 지속적인 개선이 필요할 것이다.

PURPOSES: The operational characteristics of roundabouts are generally influenced by location as well as traffic volume. The goal of this study is to develop urban and rural roundabout accident models and to discuss safety improvement guidelines based on the model. METHODS : To analyze accidents, count data models are utilized in this study. This study used accident data from 2010 to 2013 for 56 roundabouts collected from the Traffic Accident Analysis System (TASS) of Road Traffic Authority. Poisson and negative binomial regression models were developed for this study using NLOGIT 4.0. RESULTS : The main results are as follows. First, the hypotheses that there are distributional differences in the number of accidents and injuries/fatalities among rural and urban roundabouts were accepted. Second, Poisson and negative binomial regression accident models, which were all statistically significant, were developed. Seven independent variables, which were statistically significant, were adopted. Third, the common variable of models was evaluated to be traffic volume. CONCLUSIONS : This study developed two negative binomial roundabout accident models and suggested some accident reduction strategies. The results are expected to give some implications to the safety improvement of roundabout.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to compare the participation and influencing factors between rural and urban elderly and to identify their affecting factors.Methods : Data were collected from 77 rural and urban elderly. The instruments used in this study were Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-K), Outpatient Physical Therapy Improvement in Movement Log (OPTIMAL), Korean form of Geriatric Depression Scale (KGDS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation (USER-Participation). Data were analyzed using a chi-Square test, t-test, Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression.Results : All four functions had a statistically significant correlation with their participation. There were significant differences in factors relating to participation between the rural and urban elderly. A high level of negative correlation was found between participation and depression in rural elderly (r=-.486, p<.01), and a high level of positive correlation was found between participation and self-esteem in urban elderly (r=.598, p<.05). The main affecting factor was self-esteem in the urban elderly (p<.01).Conclusion : There were differences in the participation and influencing factors between rural and urban elderly, and the rural elderly were found to have more weaknesses than those from an urban area. An intervention program for participation should be designed differently between those from rural and urban areas.
