During the period from 2003 to 2020, a total of 470 Streptococcus species were isolated from farmed flounder in Jeju. Out of 470 isolates, 92 (19.6%) isolates and 378 isolates (80.4%) were identified as Streptococcus iniae and S. parauberis, respectively by multiplex PCR assay. During that period, the percentage of S. iniae decreased from 56.9% in 2003 to 0.0% in 2020 whereas that of S. parauberis increased from 43.1% in 2003 to 100% in 2020. In the PCR assay for serotyping, the isolated S. parauberis showed 3 subserotypes, Ia (34.9%), Ib/Ic (46.3%) and II (18.8%). In 2003 and 2004, serotype II was dominant at 59.1% and 50.0% of isolation rates, however between 2005 and 2009, subserotype Ib/Ic was dominant (57.6%, 86.0%, 84.6%, 57.9%, and 83.3%). After 2010, except for 2015, subserotype Ia was the most dominant one. In the last 3 years (2018 to 2020), subserotype Ia was most abundant (70%), followed by subserotype Ib/Ic (16-30%). Serotype II was not isolated in 2018, but in 2019 and 2020, it showed an increased tendency to 3.4% and 16.7%, respectively. It is believed that continuous monitoring is necessary for research on counter-measures against streptococcosis of flounder.

The purpose of this paper is to review current state of farm household's debt which is considered as one of the biggest problem in the rural community, to analyze the cause of farm household debt rising in Jeju province, and to make improvement schemes on how this problem of farm household debt could be alleviated. In order to achieve these objectives, raw data are collected from the interviews with 400 farming households in Jeju region. The results of the study are as follows; An average amount of total farm households debt was 42,000 thousand won in 2005, but an average of farm households debt excluding no debt farm households was increased by 10,000 thousand to 51,750 thousand won. But the debt properties are variable according to the farm type. Non-citrus farmers, younger farmers, rural area resident farmers hold more debt problems than other type. Among total farm households, 30 percent showed over 40 percent leverage ratio(debt/total assets), which is considered as risky or heavily indebted. Therefore, I designed a workout program and a program of land liquidation for heavily indebted farm households in Korea.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) produces Shiga toxin, which causes diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemorrhagic uremic syndrome. The Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has designated EHEC as a legal infectious disease and has conducted laboratory surveillance. This study aimed to compare the demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of EHEC cases in Jeju Province between August 2017 and November 2023, notified by two registry routes. The data were sourced from the integrated disease health and health management system managed by the KCDC. Cases reported due to experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms, or contacts of each case were defined as the "symptomatic" group. In contrast, cases with positive findings during a health checkup or laboratory surveillance were defined as the "screening" group. The symptomatic and screening groups had 35 and eight patients, respectively. There were significant differences in the age and seasonal distribution. The selection group was 20-59 years old in the main age distribution and registered evenly throughout the four seasons. In comparison, the symptomatic group was younger or older and not registered in the winter. These findings may be used to establish a more appropriate surveillance system for diarrheal outbreaks.

Jeju Special Self-governing Province continues to try to attract tourists on the basis of an active investment in the tourist industry. But most of the researches and studies on Jeju Tourism were made on a viewpoint of hardware. Therefore, the researches and studies which are related to 'the inclination of tourists who visit Jeju Island', 'the tourist satisfaction by a selection of tourist destination' and 'tourists' activities after the visit to Jeju Island' are insufficient. Accordingly, this study will support a basic datum needed for formulating a policy of Jeju tourism by closely examining the related influences among the Jeju tourists' inclination, their satisfaction and their activities after a tour of Jeju.

In this study, we investigated the various adsorption factors influencing the adsorption of heavy metal ions based on the study of the composition and physicochemical properties of scoria dispersed throughout Jeju Island. Analysis of the distribution characteristics of scoria samples collected from five areas of Jeju showed that reddish-brown-colored scoria were predominant. Analysis of scoria collected from Jeju Island showed that its mineral components are ordered as follows: SiO₂ > Al₂O₃ > Fe₂O₃ > CaO and MgO. The experimental data did not show a linear relationship in the pseudo-first-order adsorption kinetics. In contrast, a pseudo-second-order model yielded a positive linear relationship, and this model was subsequently used. It could be concluded based on an intraparticle diffusion model indicating linear relationships that the capture of metal ions on scoria is dominated by the primary adsorption step.

Although women's economic participation has been increasing in Korea, the utilization of educated women's labor is still low. Therefore, vocational training programs for women are both important and necessary. This study examines the vocational training programs for women offered by the three largest vocational training centers in Jeju: the Woman Resources Development Center, the Jeju Women's Development Center, and the Seogwipo City Women's Cultural Center. This study also analyzes the students' satisfaction with these vocational training programs and identifies the related variables that cause differences in their levels of satisfaction. The sample includes 397 respondents who were surveyed from June 23 to September 12, 2008. Moreover, the data are analyzed by conducting a one-way ANOVA, t-test, and Duncan's Multiple Range(DMR)test. The major results of the study are as follows. First, the vocational training programs in Jeju consist of lectures that cover various subjects. The programs mainly focus on work that offers relatively low wages and requires few skills, and the duration of the programs is short. Second, the original goal of the programs does not meet the needs of women who are seeking employment. The participants respond that they want more appropriate programs that are designed by considering their need for employment, support them in finding a job, and re-educate them. Third, most of the participants are satisfied with their vocational training experiences, and their satisfaction with the instructors is especially high. The differences in their levels of satisfaction are caused by economic characteristics such as the location of the student's residence, home ownership, and the level of life. The results of this study suggest that there is a need to separate vocational/employment training from general education for women. Moreover, the vocational training programs for women should be more specialized according to the different needs of each group.

In this study, the projected land use area in 2030 for major crop production was estimated in Jeju Island using land cover map, and corresponding agricultural water demand for 40 sub-regions was quantitatively assessed using the future climate change scenario (RCP 4.5). Estimated basic unit of water demand in 2030 was the highest in the western region, and the lowest in the eastern region. Monthly maximum agricultural water demand analysis revealed that water demand in August of 2030 substantially increased, suggesting the climate of Jeju Island is changing to a subtropical climate in 2030. Agricultural water demand for sub-region in 2030 was calculated by multiplying the target area of the water supply excluding the area not in use in winter season by the basic unit of water demand, and the maximum and minimum values were estimated to be $306,626m^3/day$ at Seogwipo downtown region and $77,967m^3/day$ at Hallim region, respectively. Consequently, total agricultural water demand in Jeju Island in 2030 was estimated to be $1,848,010m^3/day$.
