Abstract

This study analyzed farmer's responses to the pilot project in advance of the nationwide expansion of the farm-customized early warning service for weather risk management by conducting a survey among all farmers who received text messages of this service. We analyzed not only the satisfaction of farmers with the early warning service, but also the effectiveness of the service in preventing agrometeorological disasters through cross-tabulation analysis of survey results. More than 330 farmers participated in the survey, and more than 60% of the respondents said that they had prevented or mitigated crop disasters by using the early warning service. The cross-tabulation analysis showed that farmers who perceived the field-specific weather information of the early warning service to be more accurate than the weather forecast were statistically significantly more likely to prevent crop disasters than those who did not. According to our case study, farmers who grew open field fruit crops were particularly sensitive to weather information and confirmed that early warning services, along with disaster prevention facilities, were effective in preparing for freezing and frost injury that had been occurring frequently under the influence of climate change. This study is significant in that it is the first to systematically analyze the effectiveness of the farm-customized early warning service for weather risk management based on extensive surveys. It is expected to contribute to exploring ways to develop the service ahead of the nationwide expansion of the early warning service in the near future.

본 연구에서는 조기경보서비스의 전국적 사업 확대를 앞두고 처음으로 문자수신 농가 전체를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시했다. 설문조사 결과와 설문조사 내용을 교차분석하여 조기경보서비스에 대한 농가의 만족도뿐만 아니라 조기경보서비스의 농업기상재해 예방 효과에 대해 분석했으며 농가 사례조사를 병행하여 농가에서 실제로 조기경보서비스가 어떻게 활용되고 있는지 조사했다. 336명이 설문에 참여했으며 설문 응답자 중 60% 이상이 조기경보서비스를 활용하여 작물재해를 예방하거나 경감한 사례가 있다고 응답했다. 교차분석 결과, 조기경보서비스의 필지 맞춤형 기상정보와 일기예보의 차이를 인지한 농가가 그렇지 않은 농가에 비해 통계적으로 유의미하게 작물재해를 더 많이 예방한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 노지 과수 작목을 재배하는 농가가 기상정보를 정확하게 인지했으며, 기후변화의 영향으로 최근 빈번하게 발생하는 저온해 등을 대비하는데 방재시설과 더불어 조기경보서비스가 효과가 있음을 확인했다. 또 사례조사를 통해 농작물재해 예방뿐만 아니라 영농작업에서도 기상정보의 활용성이 높다는 사실을 파악했다. 본 연구는 조기경보서비스에 대한 광범위한 설문조사와 사례조사 결과를 바탕으로 처음으로 농장맞춤형 기상재해 조기경보서비스의 효과를 체계적으로 분석했다는데 의의가 있으며, 조기경보서비스의 발전 방안으로서, 기상 및 재해 정보전달의 효과를 증대하고 조기경보서비스의 농가 활용을 증진하기 위해 농가를 대상으로 서비스를 보다 적극적으로 홍보하고 모바일 앱 이용에 대한 교육을 강화해야 할 필요가 있음을 제안했다.
