This study was conducted to do a comparative analysis of hunting system in 16 OECD(Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries. Hunting is one of the most advanced types for developing natural resources, esp. wildlife, which is one of major products from forest. There are two types of hunting system ; Revier and/or License System, around most countries which have traditional advanced hunting and higher hunter population. Licence system, which is chosen in Korea, is less efficient ways of hunting for maximizing economical value and wildlife management than Revier system does. Adopting better system for much more efficient economical condition from hunting in Korea in a future is a ultimate goal in this study. The first step for the goal is an analysis of these two system among 16 OECD countries ; United State, Japan, Germany, France, etc. Comparative researches in hunting regulations such as number of hunters, hunter ratio to population, hunting bags, game species, seasons, ammunition and hunting permit are a next step for adopting developed hunting system in Korea. Korea has a smallest hunter ratio to population (1/2,463) among 16 OECD centuries and economical value lead by hunting is estimated still very low. Revier system is a popular one in most OECD countries except United State, Japan, etc, which is useful for wildlife management and maximizing economical value of hunting. And usually rifles are permitted for big game hunting. Hunting examination and/or insurance are compulsory for achieving hunting permit. Depend on game species, yearly hunting bag and season are constructed in most OECD countries.

This study examined the relationship between attitudes to the natural environment and motivations of Korean hunters. A self-administered mail-out questionnaire was sent to 1,000 hunters who were selected randomly from the file of approximately 15,920 hunting licenses in Korea in 1998. Among the returned questionnaires 550 valid questionnaires were analyzed for this study. The study identified three dimensions of motivation for hunting : Appreciation, Achievement and Social Aspect. The data for this study support that game management should be based on the premise that the motivations for hunting are diverse and that attitudes to the natural environment help explain differences in motivation for hunting.

A multiple-satisfaction approach was used to determine hunting satisfaction. A sample of 1000 hunters was surveyed via mail questionnaire. Principal component analysis revealed six dimensions of hunting satisfaction : harvest, equipment, nature, skill, escapism, and social contact. Among these factors, items related nature were evaluated as the most important to their hunting satisfaction. Correlations between specialization variables (past experience, days participated in hunting, and perceived level of hunting skill) and each factor derived were examined. This study also investigated any differences in hunting satisfaction due to personal variables such as age, education, and place of residence. The results of this study indicated that no differences, except age and hunting skill, were found between the two variables.

During the past 4 years, I have made a careful analysis of the present rotating system of hunting areas, on the one hand, by asking a group of hunters to fill out a questionnaire, and on the other hand, by referring to the written documents on the subject. And, as a result, it is concluded that this system, by varying the hunting grounds each year, contains in itself several problems as follows. 1. The hunters find it quite inconvenient to use a different hunting ground year after year and they also complain that the present hunting ground charge is more than it is worth. Therefore, it is expected that the number of hunters will explosively increase in the future with the betterment of hunting conditions. 2. The hunters have almost no information about game and they are, as a whole, lacking in the ethics of hunting. 3. The allotment of time in hunting training courses is not so sufficient that it is next to impossible to improve the quality of hunters. 4. As a rule, the population density of wildlife is so sparse that it falls short of the proper standard of it. 5. The present hunting system does not seem to contribute to the advancement of tourism. 6. It is absolutely necessary to make a general survey of the situation of wildlife for the legal protection of it. Besides, the interests of hunters are so closely tied up with those of farmers and foresters that dreastic measures should be taken to settle their conflicting differences. For the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems and at the same time, of developing sound hunting practices in the long run, I hereby make two suggestions. 1. The Establishment of the Hunting License Test System It is desirable to issue a license to a prospective hunter after he has met a special qualification and then passed a test so that he may have bits of information needed for his hunting activities. 2. The Introduction of The Revier System The fundamental concept of this system is based on the assumption that the private landowner should reserve a right to the pursuit of game and take responsibility for wildlife management.

This study investigates the collective aspects of hunting motivation and hunters' attitude toward natural environment. Data were collected from three different types of respondents : 148 hunters who purchased hunting license between November 1992 and March 1993 in Cholla Province. 120 university students and 260 Suwon residents. The 26 items out of 90 items were selected to develop an attitude scale toward natural environment. Results of ANOVA revealed that there were significant differences among five groups(hunters, urban residents and students from 3 major fields) in terms of their attitude values. Hunters' attitude value toward natural environment was the highest among five different types of respondents. Two major motives for hunting participation are 'exercise' and 'like out-of-doors'. Factor analysis presents eight motivational dimensions underlying hunter's involvement in the activities: 1)stewardship, 2)social contact, 3)show-off, 4)sportsmanship, 5)like to kill, 6)recreation/relax, 7)economic gain, and 8)being alone. The correlation between the motivational factor of 'economic gain' and the attitudinal item of 'relationship between man and nature' was negative(r=-0.28). There is a positive correlation(r=0.24) between the motivation of 'being alone' and the attitude of 'needs for natural environment'. These relationships indicate that individual's attitude value decreases when one perceives nature as economic goods, while it increases when one visits nature to relieve stress and to develop self-esteem.

This study was conducted to investigate the status and problems, and suggest the proper improvement of provincial rotation hunting system in Korea. There were many problems in recently provincial rotation hunting system, such as, difficulty of budget interiority, low participation rate of hunters, low specialization degree of officers on their job, and extremity of illegal capture of wildlife by the absence of wildlife manager. The municipal hunting system, which have many merits, such as, increase of hunters' participation and income of municipality, creation of engagement, and prohibit of illegal capture of wildlife would be suggest for the improvement of hunting system.

The objectives of this paper are to investigate hunting, stock raising, sacrifice recorded in the oracle bone inscriptions of Shang Dynasty. I want to raise two basic questions. First, what were the functions of hunting, stock raising, sacrifice, which constructed the world of life in Shang Dynasty? Second, what were the relationships of gods, men, animals derived from them? These questions are brought up to how the commoners of Shang Dynasty build the world and perceive it. I adopted positively prevalent theories for answering those questions. I am particularly provided with Michael J. Puett's insightful remarks in this presentation. He criticizes the previous viewpoint that the relationships of gods and men in ancient China were harmonious and mutually respondent. According to him, in the ancient way of thinking of China the world of gods was full of whimsical and unpredictable power and also contained the risks, which led to disaster to the human world. So it is needed to be controled in a certain way. The sacrifice and the divination must have been instruments for controlling it in ancient China. In the same vein his arguments can be applied to the special connotations of hunting and stock raising, by the benefit of which I developed my own ideas in this paper. The conclusions are as follows. First, Shang dynasty tried to suppress the latent danger of two worlds. The nature represented by animals and the world of gods were respectively considered as the unknown domains, which is to threatening human life. Hunting, stock raising, sacrifice were the ways and means of controlling these two domains of power, which cause chaos in life. Second, the relationships among gods, men, animals had various functions and changed their status role, depending on the circumstances. Hunting and stock raising were important methods to domesticate animals with violence. In this domestication process animals became "victims" but animals are also to be the messengers to gods through being slain in the sacrifice. In this way animals are both inferior and superior to men and hold a unique status between gods and men.
