본 연구는 중국 운남성 라평현 명가촌(中國雲南羅平縣明格村）대상지로 명가촌의 생태보전 및 지역발전 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있다. 운남성 라평현의 독특한 계단식 밭 경관(梯田景觀)은 중국의 중요한 농업문화유산이고 매우 높은 보존 가치를 가지고 있다. 운남성 라평현 면가촌에서 살고 있는 포의족(布依族)은 중국의 소수 민족에 속하며, 그 민족의 전통문화와 풍습은 중국의 중요한 무형문화유산으로 보전가치 크다. 중국은 고대부터 다민족 국가였다. 수천 년 간 다른 민족문화와 지역문화가 서로 융합되어 상호 영향력이 중국의 전통문화를 형성했다. 소수 민족의 전통문화는 중국 민족의 전통 문화에서 중요한 부분이다. 운남성 포의족(布依族）은 독특한 의상, 음식, 건축, 무용, 공예 문화를 가지고 있지만 현대문명의 통일화에 따라서 운남 포의족 전통문화가 점차 사라지고 있다. 중국 독특한 소수 민족 문화가 시간에 흐르면서 잊혀지고 없어지는 것은 세계 문화사에 커다란 동정이다. 그래서 포의족 문화의 전승과 보전에 대한 내용도 핵심 내용이다. 현재 명가촌의 농촌마을계획은 장기간 단일화 발전 모델로 이 지역의 보전가치가 큰 계단식 밭경관과 포의족(布依族)의 문화에 대한 고려가 미비하여 점차 사라지고 있다. 본 연구는 명가촌의 경관보전 및 지역발전을 목적으로 연구를 진행하고 있다. 연구내용은 명가촌의 생태마을설계와 무형문화유산의 보전을 기반으로 지역 발전의 활성화 계획을 다루고자 한다. 첫째, 명가촌 생태마을설계에 대한 내용이다. 우선 기존의 농촌마을계획을 진단하였다. 생태마을설계 방향은 자연생태환경과 포의족 전통건축 복원 및 계단식 밭의 보전이다. 둘째, 마을의 무형문화유산 보전방안이다. 농업문화유산은 현대 농업 발전에 중요한 영향을 미치는 매우 중요한 가치를 지니고 있다. 그러나 과학 기술이 꾸준히 발전함에 따라 수천 년 동안 지속되어 온 전통적인 농업은 사라질 위기에 있다. 명가촌 계단식 경작지의 경제적 가치, 생태적 가치, 미학적 가치, 문화적 가치, 과학적 연구 가치 및 사회적 가치와 같은 여러 가치를 가지고 있다. 반면, 면가촌 전통적인 농법은 단지 1차 산업에 국한되어 있고, 계단식 경작지는 경사가 급하고 협소한 폭으로 기계경작이 어려워 농민의 소득과 생활수준을 제한하고 있다. 그런데 이러한 제한요소는 오히려 녹색농업, 유기농업 및 생태농업을 활성화 시킬 수 있는 기회요소가 되고 있다. 계단식 경작지와 연계한 생태관광의 개발을 장려하고, 다자간 경제 보상을 통한 유기농업과 특색 있는 농업을 촉진한다면 지속가능한 발전이 가능하다고 판단된다. 셋째, 명가촌 Permaculture 및 생태관광 모행 도입이다. 1). 전통적 단일농업 → 다양한 산업구조 퍼머컬쳐로 전환(유채 재배업, 유채씨 기름 가공업, 양봉업, 유기농산물 판매 산업) 2). 생태관광 개발 (포의족 전통문화 홍보, 지역수익증가, 생태경관보전)

This study aims to identify more reasonable and efficient development plans to engage local university students in landscape improvement projects in rural areas. To survey university students, residents, administrators and experts involved in such projects on important considerations in this regard, SWOT analysis was employed to identify important factors, followed by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate their relative importance, identify problems and suggest implications for improvement. The results are summarized as follows: the relative importance of the SWOT group was in the order of opportunity, strength, threat, and weakness. For each SWOT factor, the relative importance of strengths was in the order of students’ aspiration and passion, availability of creative ideas and designs, and improved attachment to their community. The relative importance of weaknesses was in the order of the lack of spontaneous participation of residents, short preparation periods and insufficient budgets, and the lack of experience in similar projects. The relative importance of opportunities was in the order of young students’ activity itself being a boost factor to the community, students’ endeavors arising a consensus among residents, and students feeling a sense of duty as representatives of their school. The relative importance of threats was in the order of projects being one-shot, temporary events, immaturity, and differences in preferences between older and younger generations. To draw an overall ranking of the sub-factors evaluated, the overall relative importance of the decision-making factors was evaluated. Among the sub-factors for each SWOT group, young students’ activity itself being a boost factor to the community as an opportunity factor was shown to be the most important, while the lack of experience in similar projects was shown to be the least important as administrators and experts made appropriate interventions in each stage.

The study was intended to identify the effect of the rural development projects (comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon and regional unit comprehensive development projects) on the quality of life in rural areas against local residents living in areas subject to those projects by means of structural equation modeling based on covariance structure analysis. The result indicated that perception factors affecting the quality of life for residents in rural areas by the projects included ‘improvement in spatial environment’, ‘increase in vitality of rural areas’, and ‘promotion of community activities.’ It was also suggested that ‘improvement in spatial environment’ and ‘increase in vitality of rural areas’ have significantly positive effect on the quality of life for residents in rural areas while the former has relatively higher correlation. In comparison between comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon and regional unit comprehensive development projects, it was analyzed that all the perception factors of the comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon have effect on the quality of life for residents in rural areas indicating that comprehensive improvement of the seats of Eup and Myeon is more effective than regional unit comprehensive development projects in promoting the community activities. It means that existing rural development projects have been promoted to improve spatial environment rather than improving the quality of life for residents in rural areas. Thus, it is considered that the rural development projects in future should seek for a sense of community so that they can induce voluntary participation by local residents.

The purpose of this study was to develop an in-service education program on multifunctionality of agriculture and rural areas. The in-service education program for general agricultural education was developed by reviewing literature, analyzing domestic in-service education programs. The program consisted of 3 fields - understanding, experiencing multifunctionality, and applying it to classroom, and contents validity was evaluated by 3 experts. And the program was applied to 268 elementary and secondary school teachers. Before and after the in-service education program, the survey was conducted. The survey questions were about motivation of participation, satisfaction level of program, and so on. Based on the analysis of survey data, some recommendations were suggested.

According to the growing concerns of the public with efficiency and effects of regional policies, their assessment works have become an important issue. Up to now, several studies have been carried out on economic effects of policies using conventional cost/benefit analysis, while there have been few studies on assessment of amenity oriented policies. From the above consideration, this study tried to develop An Annual Expenditure Assessment Model (AEAM) for amenity-oriented policy-making in rural area. As a pre-work for model development, the hierarchical indices system for rural development and the classification system of expenditure were designed. Being based on high significant relationship between rural amenities and local government expenditure, a linear optimization model for maximization of regional amenity was constructed. Through a case study of Sunchang-gun, Chonbuk-province, the model applicability was ascertained.

This study tried to construct a direction in regional planning concerning the structural relationship between the ratio of aged population and the industrial characteristics. We investigated this structural relationship incorporating the aged population index and the number of classified companies. We applied diverse statistical analyses to understand the relationship. We classified the number of companies to reflect regional industrial characteristics using the principal component analysis. We applied a multiple regression model to understand the relationship between these two indices. The aged population index represents the degree of being old divided by the ratio of juvenile population and aged population. We found that such industries as manufacturing, service, and conveyance increase the ratio of juvenile population. However, industries such as tourism, waterworks, forestry, agriculture and etc. have a positive effect on the aged population index. In addition to these findings, we believe that the efficacy of this study is the possibility that can be used as the basic data when central or local autonomous entities need to adopt rural development planning.
