The average income of forestry household was only 54.3% of urban workers's and 67.6% of farms household's income based on the data from statistics Korea in 2012. This indicates that forestry, which is a labor-intensive primary industry, has the limitation for creating added value. On the other hand, the demands for forest healing and forest experiential program have been continuously increased with new lifestyle focusing on the quality of life and increased leisure time. Therefore, it is necessary to establish comprehensive policies to increase added value except forestry to respond forest demands. The project utilizing forest healing can be on of solutions to meet forest demands. Thus, this research intends to investigate an economic revitalization plan for mountain villages with forest healing. The characteristics of forest healing facilities and contents of forest healing programs were examined through internet searching, fields surveys, and expert interviews. Total 186 concepts, 8 categories, and 24 subcategories were derived from raw data of surveys. The application process of forest healing was also provided to encourage local economy of mountain areas. This research offers application procedure of the forest healing for regional economic vitalization in Mountain Villages interviews using grounded theory by Strauss and Corbin(1988) as well as NVio11. This research contributes to prepare the base of future quantitative studies by providing strategies and suggestions for the application plans of forest healing programs. In addition, this research offers basic data for the policies to establish and manage forest healing villages.

소수력은 국내의 풍부한 부존량을 바탕으로 과거부터 관심을 받아왔으나 대수력에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 경제성이나 하천에 미치는 환경 생태적 영향 등의 이유로 개발이 활성화되지는 못하였다. 최근에는 기후변화협약(1992)이나 교토의정서(1997) 채택 등으로 온실가스 감축문제가 국제적인 이슈가 되면서 신재생에너지 중에서도 탄소배출량이 가장 적은 소수력발전에 대한 관심이 점차 증대되고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 점차 높아지는 환경수요는 대수력에 비해 상대적으로 환경영향이 작은 소수력발전소 건설에도 문제제기를 하기 시작하였으며, 정부의 자금지원에 의존한 '비싼' 전력생산을 회의적 시각으로 바라보는 측면도 존재하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 소수력 개발의 장애요인들을 극복하고 우리나라의 풍부한 소수력 부존량을 적극 활용하기 위한 향후 소수력 개발 활성화 방향을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해서 소수력발전소의 레크리에이션 기능 활성화, 주변지역의 지원 활성화, 수리권 문제의 해결, 환경친화적인 개발, 신규편익의 발굴 및 계량화, 등을 주요 방향 및 과제로 제시하였다.

자원식물을 소재로 이용하는 생물산업은 21세기 경제성장을 주도할 핵심기간산업이며, 미래형 고부가가치산업이다. 현재 지구상에는 약 55만종의 식물이 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 인간의 손길이 닿지 않은 천연 강우림 등의 미개척지가 상당수 존재하고 있어 더욱 많은 종들이 존재할 것으로 추정된다. 자원식물들 중에는 작물로의 개발이 가능하거나, 개발할 필요성이 높은 식물들이 많이 있다. 자원식물들은 예로부터 식용, 약용, 관상용, 유지용, 기호용, 밀원용, 섬유용, 향신료용, 향료용, 당료용, 호료용, 염색용, 수지용, 탄닌용 등으로 구분되어 이용되어 왔다. 자원식물은 종에 따라 꽃, 줄기, 잎, 뿌리 및 종자 등 부위별로 다양하게 산업적 소재로 활용되어 왔다. 최근에는 건강에 관한 관심이 급증하면서 다양한 건강 기능성 상품이 개발되고 있으며, 관련 시장이 급속하게 성장하고 있다. 특히 자원식물 등 천연물을 소재로 한 건강 기능성 상품은 안전성이 보장되며 우수한 생리활성이 있는 것으로 밝혀지면서, 자원식물을 소재로 한 건강 기능성 상품의 개발에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 다양한 자원식물을 대상으로 이들의 활용가치를 분석하여 상품화할 수 있는 방법의 개발이 절실히 필요하다. 또한 주 5일제 실시 및 여가활용에 관한 관심이 급증하면서 농촌 경관산업에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 농촌 경관산업은 국민의 여가선용 및 복지향상에 효과적일 뿐 아니라 지역주민과 관광객이 함께 즐길 수 있는 관광산업으로써 지역 이미지 강화를 통한 지역 홍보, 지역 내 일자리 창출 및 경관산업에 사용된 생물소재를 이용한 바이오산업의 활성화 등의 장점을 지니고 있다. 또한 농촌 경관산업은 자연과 농촌을 활용한 자연 친화형 관광단지를 조성하여 친환경, 고부가가치형 종합산업을 추구하는 추세이다. 그러므로 경관산업 및 이를 활용한 바이오산업의 소재로써 자원식물의 역할은 매우 클 것으로 생각된다. 특히 각 지역에 자생하는 고유의 자원식물을 활용하면 지역 특화 경관산업 및 바이오산업의 발전에 크게 이바지 할 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 지역 경제 활성화 및 친환경 건강 기능성 상품에 대한 수요를 충족시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 친환경 건강 기능성 소재 개발과 농촌 경관산업을 활용한 생물산업에 적용할 수 있는 산업적 가치가 우수한 자원식물의 다양한 기능을 분석하고, 각 자원식물별로 특성에 맞는 개발 방안을 구축하여 다양한 산업화의 소재로 활용하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

It is not so long that the cultural industrial sector has been noted as one of the major engines of regional economy in Korea. In parallel with balanced development strategies recently emphasized in the Korean regional policy, there has been a wide range of investment to formulate cultural industrial districts in major cities. This trend of investment focus has changed the development strategies of each city. There are criticisms, however, to this public sector-dominated nurturing of cultural economy. This paper overviews the recent policy of cultural industrial districts in Korea, in terms of its background, institutional basis, performances, and some evaluations. Some suggestions are provided in order to make the policy successful; emphasize developing the culture industry itself, develop clusters specifically focused on the characteristics of the culture industry, deliberate substantial measures for nurturing companies and human resources in the local regions, and formulate a system in which the local dominates and the center supports.

After 1970-80's rapid economic and urban development, nowadays the old downtown suffers from the deterioration of physical environment, outflow of its function and cavitation of population. And this phenomenon makes urban regeneration as a new paradigm in urban development. This is the case of Myeongdong area (Jungang-dong, Monsung-dong), old downtown of Cheonan around rail station, in the same way. City government has tried many regeneration/ redevelopment projects on this area but all failed due to lack of feasibility. This study intends to suggest new viable strategic regeneration scheme of this area through research and analysis of TOD development, existing condition and problems. As a result, the area needs to be considered as a node that links bus terminal complex and central market place with walkable street. For regeneration of this area, a strategic development scheme of this area is suggested deploying private capital invested rail station, underground shopping mall, transfer center, culture complex and nature park with Myeongdong street mall.
