The extension service for rural tourism is especially important because farmers are usually new in the service industry, while the extension service system for this purpose is yet to be established in Korea. The Israeli case of rural extension service system is studied in this paper in order to explore the implications of the extension service system for the rural tourism in Korea.

Agricultural extension has contributed enormously to agriculture and farmers, since Rural Development Administration(RDA) was founded in Korea. However, as the decentralization got started and world environment has changed, agriculture extension shrank by transferring the function of agricultural extension to local government. According to public opinion appeared on the bulletin boards of RDA web site, many people suggest that agricultural extension should be improved from the current system and services. Findings in the transfer of the extension system from national status to local government showed some advantages and disadvantages; 1) Agricultural extension services was decreased sharply by a large dropping in the number of extension educators. 2) The identity of agricultural extension services was disappearing. 3) The extension projects when matched with local features could be better implemented. 4) The lives of extension educators were better stabilized. Rural Development Administration intends to transfer the director of the local Agriculture Technology Center to the national status. This would return all current extension educators step by step to national positions. By doing so, agricultural extension scholars and farmers are welcoming this agenda. On the other hand, the extension educators themselves were divided by contradictory opinions Therefore, government should search for the better alternatives to establish more effective system with considerations of various aspects in activating the agricultural extension services.

The objectives of this study were to review on the characteristics of the Agricultural Research-Extension Systems in the USA, Japan, and the Netherlands, and to draw up its implications on Korean agricultural extension system. This study was conducted by literature reviews. Based on the reviews, the following implications and recommendations should be considered at national and local level for improvement of agricultural extension system in Korea; (1) a systemic approach on the linkages of agricultural research, extension, and farmer education, (2) strengthening on-farm utilization of newly developed agricultural technology so as to promote agricultural research and development, (3) strategic partnership with agricultural administration, (4) close networking with stake-holders, (5) setting up the flexible organizational structure for carry out agricultural extension programs, (6) integration of agricultural extension service domain, (7) introduce a IPM(integrated performance management) system, (8) establish a long-term super-vision and strategic management, (9) setting up the customer-centered extension system.

Rural extension work in Korea has been carried out as a national government project by the Rural Development Administration since 1962. But almost all of the extension workers transferred to local government employ in 1997 and the 7,480 extension workers in 1997 decreased to 5,082 by the end of 1999 through restructuring of the government system. Traditionally, the extension worker has carried out educational jobs but many extension workers was to carry out the administrative responsibility in addition to the educational job as the rural extension system was changed. This study was to evaluate the rural extension system under the localization, extension activities, methods, extension worker's morale, and so forth. Most of extension workers are embarrassed about the changing of the extension system and their duty.

This research was carried out to provide the information for the reorganization of County Extension system. In order to develop the extension system, basically we must understand the various characteristics of the extension organization such as farmer`s needs, community environments and its releated organizations. In respose to localization, county extension organization will be changed by the consderation its unique characteristics.

The purpose of this study uses agricultural knowledge system theory to explore how the extension system in South Korea was developed and have worked well. By agricultural knowledge system we emphasized the dynamic networks of actors, processes of negotiation, and the diverse ways in which knowledge is constructed and performed. It was possible that individuals may participate in and utilize multiple knowledge systems. The knowledge systems reflected the idea that the boundaries between knowledge groups were not closed and that there could be considerable overlap between knowledge systems. The constructions of agricultural knowledge systems thus included social interactions, communication, and the diverse processes individuals employ to create, use, and evaluate multiple types and sources of information. As such, there were six priorities to development agricultural extension system; the linkage between agricultural colleges, Rural Development Administration(RDA), branch of RDA, establishing the research institution of research and extension linkage. exchange research agent with extension agent, developing information technology system, bottom-up approach, the linkage between national project and regional within extension projects, enforcement of informal learning.

There is a wide range of agreement for reorganization of administrative units. It is expected that regionalization of city governments and city-county consolidation would contribute to enhance efficiency of extension services and weaken citizen accessibility, responsiveness, and participation. Therefore, it is suggested that branch office of extension center should be provided to the isolated rural areas in order to maintain the appropriate level of services. Also, the relationship and linkage between the national/regional government and local extension centers should be reshaped by making current linkage system such as monthly Provincial Meeting and central-local association more effective. Establishment of agricultural database of each local region is needed to strengthen local extension center's role. Finally, extension service agency needs to consider to expand its function from the traditional extension services to a variety of 'rural issues.'

This study examines the characteristics of agricultural extension in developed countries to provide the direction for the development of Korean agricultural extension system. The study, then, examines the validity for the localization of agricultural extension system. The study undertakes mil surveys of 314 persons in extension offices, administration offices, National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, agricultural school and colleges. The study justifies the localization of extension system in the long run but not in the short run. It finds the localization within next two years as suggested by central government is not appropriate and suggests the localization after the local government has settled down.

Despite salary is one of the important factors affecting the morale, most of agricultural extension officials are not satisfied with salary system for their roles in Korea In these conditions, it is impossible to develop the extension services in Korea. It is necessary to improve salary system by upgrading to the level of salary for research officials or converting to the salary system for education officials such as professor, high school teach. The other alternative is to improve by reforming based on the tenure.

에티오피아의 농촌지도사업은 다른 아프리카 국가들과 비교하여 긴 역사를 가지고 있으며 다양한 접근방법과 모델을 통하여 이루어져 왔다. 오랜 역사에도 불구하고, 농촌지도사업 시슨템은 사업영역, 커뮤니케이션, 제도적인 다원성 측면에서 초보단계에 머물고 있다. 농촌지도사업의 초점은 시험연구사업 결과에 대한 기술이전, 국가식량안보와 수출증가를 위한 농업생산성 증대에 있다. 최근 농촌지도사업 시스템에 대하여 많은 논의가 이루어지고 있으며, 다른 관점을 통하여 보다 지도사업 시스템이 엄밀성을 더해 가고 있다. 최근 에티오피아 농촌지도사업은 공공부문에 의하여 추진되고 있으며, 특히 district 단위에서 분권화된 방법으로 운영되고 있다. 그리고 제한된 수준이지만 NGO에 의하여 수행되고 있다. 에티오피아의 농촌지도사업은 1950년대에 연구개발 및 기술이전, 외국의 새로운 기술도입을 위하여 시작되었다. 초기에 농촌지도사업은 시험장 위주로 이루어졌다. 이후에 에티오피아 농촌지도사업은 다섯 가지 단계로 추진되었다. 대학학장시스템(the land grant extension system), 패키지 프로그램, 최소 팩키지 프로젝트, 농민 농업개발 프로그램, 참여민주주의와 훈련시스템(PADETS). 패키지 지도사업 프로그램은 시범지역에 최초로 수행되었으며, 15-20년내에 농촌지역의 90%까지 확대되었다. 이 프로그램은 개발기구에 의하여 관리되는 시범포를 사용하였으며, 조직화된 농민들을 훈련하였다. 그러나, 이 프로그램이 특정한 조그마한 지역에서 운영되어 다른 지역까지 확대되지 못하였다. 참여민주주의와 훈련시스템을 통하여 에티오피아의 농촌지도사업은 주목을 받게 되었으며 많은 논의가 있었으며, 외부의 관점들이 더 정교하게 만들었다. 긴 역사에도 불구하고, 이 시스템은 커뮤니케이션, 제도적인 다원주의적인 측면, 분권화 측면에서 걸음마 단계이다.
