In recent years, domestic market environment of rice production is confronted with the problems of excessive production and decrease in per capita consumption, resulting in steady decline of domestic rice price. Moreover, as new trade negotiations of WTO or FTA are being forwarded, cheap price of imported rice will also make the rice production environment being worse off. One of the possible production strategies to relieve this situation could be expanding farm size, which increases market competitiveness in terms of cost-saving. Since 1990's, one of the main agricultural policies for rice production in Korea has been expanding farm size. This study aims at 1)exploring brief history of Korean government's agricultural policy for expanding farm size, 2)examining economic effect of farming size expansion, and 3)discussing major role of government to promote appropriate programs for rice-farming and producers. Main conclusion suggests that appropriate farming size should be expanded upto at least five hectares per farm, with producers' effort to reduce farming costs and continuous investments on agricultural infrastructures including irrigation systems, etc. Continuous government's investment on operation and maintenance on water facility is also one of the important factors in expanding farm size.

정보기술(IT)의 발달에 따라, 전통적인 무역의 효율성제고가 시급한 과제로 대두되고 있으며, 이의 고(高)효율의 국제상거래의 활성화를 위해서 인터넷을 활용한 해외시장의 개척과 글로벌 네크워크의 구축의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 따라서 전통적인 무역의 대면 마케팅(Face to face marketing) 방식에서 점차 탈피, 거래정보의 데이터베이스(D/B)화 등 전자무역의 저변확대를 위해 산업자원부 등을 중심으로 거래알선(trade leads) 단계에서 점차 확대, 계약체결 이후의 무역자동화(Trade Automation)까지 전자무역의 영역확대 및 정착화를 통해서 국제상거래 기능의 고효율 저비용구조의 추구는 바람직하다. 또한 정부의 수출드라이브 정책으로 추진되어온 기존 종합상사의 기능이 IMF관리체제 이후 강력한 구조조정(Restructuring)의 추진으로, 산업소재 중선의 특화 전문화된 상사로 기능이 전환되고 있는 시점에서, 전자무역의 핵심 추진축으로서 e-무역상사의 필요성은 더욱 증대되고 있는 바, IT를 활용 고도의 정보력을 구사하고 비즈니스의 발굴 및 제안, 추진하는 주체로서의 기능도 강화하며 전자자유무역시장(e-FTA), 전자구상무역시장(e-G2G)도 개척할 수 있는 바, 이와 관련해 한국의 전자무역 확산 전략 방안을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends of basic income guarantee of which the discussion has been spreading in recent years and to explore the feasibility of this system in the rural areas of Chungchengnam-do. Basic Income Guarantee means a system in which all members of society could take regular incomes which is at a minimum necessary for their life without any conditions, and it is already introduced or being currently discussed in several countries and regions such as USA, Switzerland, Namibia. In Korea, it is currently claimed that breakthrough policy such as basic income guarantee for farmers should be introduced for farmers or rural residents who are facing the challenges of the double, namely the reduction of farm incomes and rural population due to the expansion of global free trade such as WTO and FTA since 1990s. Therefore, the policy considerations and suggestions for implementing the basic income guarantee for farmers in Chungcheongnam-do is explained in this paper.

This study was conducted field surveys and theoretical discussion whether small farmers thinks there are economics of scope in small organically grown cropslivestock farming cycling system. The discussions are summarized as follows. At the end of October 2011, the cycling agriculture farms are only a total of 15 farmers, 0.1% of total organic farms in Korea. The FMD disease, FTA, family farm structure, the importance of animal health and welfare, agricultural cycles, when considering the valuation of the multifunctionality, alternative agriculture is small farming cycling system. Organic agriculture is a 'cooperation-cycling-family farm' in the interaction it is important to understand. The two groups were surveyed. Group 1 is 6 farmers who practicing cycling farming system, and Group 2 is the 33 farmers who wish to cycling farming system. Interview survey and the survey results was obtained as follows. First, We find that there are strong economies of scope, due to a decreased costs have increased net profit. Second, the multifunctional values is realized also cycling farming system. Third, but some certification standards leads to high transaction cost. Thus, a small family farm who wishing to target organic livestock certification standards need to improve.

In recent years, Korean rice must compete with the rice of advanced countries under Doha Development Agenda(DDA) and free Trade Agreement(FTA). Therefore we should find more active and positive solution in rice industry according to the inncreasing power of international pressure. Increasing rice production was the most important policy during the past food-deficient days, but recently, with overproduction of rice, various circulation system by the brand(price)-differentiation should be settled in a recent market of Korea. Nowadays, some advanced rice farmers and Rice Processing Complex(RPC) managers developed new brands of rice with high-quality, adding healthy materials and environment-friendly farming methods. Therefore, the future strategy of making a new brand rice should be planned including selection of rice variety, cultural and post-harvest techniques, circulation and processing methods to compete against foreign rice. And environment-friendly farming is also recommendable for food safety and differentiate from imported rice. For the purpose of successful brand-rice, the following points might be considered. Firstly, selection of good quality rice and continual development of good variety must be conducted for the differentiation of Korean rice from foreign rice. Secondly, a special contract between producer and consumer with functional-rice, organic filming-rice, specific-rice will be recommendable. Thirdly, improvement of post-harvest management and milling system are necessary for the production of differentiated-rice. Fortunately, standard of inspection, rules of description for brand-rice must be developed by a more scientific examination in order to settlement of trust for consumer. Finally, provincial or regional-representative brand rice must be settled and conducted for the development of agreement market system between producer and consumer.

For the reliability evaluation of the track drive unit(TDU), firstly, we analyzed the major failure modes through FMEA(failure mode & effects analysis), FTA(failure tree analysis), and 2-stage QFD(quality function deployment), and then quantitatively determined the priority order of test items. The Minitab analysis was also performed for prediction of life distribution and parameters of TDU by use of field failure data collected from 430 excavators for two years. In addition, we converted the fluctuation load in field conditions into the equivalent load, and for evaluation of the accelerated lift by the cumulative fatigues, the equivalent load is again divided into the fluctuation load by reference of test time. And then, by use of the test method in this paper, the acceleration factor(AF) of needle bearing inside planetary gear which is the most weakly designed part of TDU is achieved as 5.3. This paper presents the quantitative selection method of test items for reliability evaluation, the determination method of the accelerated life test time, and the method of non-failure test time based on a few of samples. And, we proved the propriety of the proposed methods by experiments using a TDU for a 30 ton excavator.

가업을 물려받는 영농후계자나 귀농을 생각하는 예비 농업인들도 농림수산업자신용보증기금의 보증지원을 받을 수 있을 전망이다. 또 일반 농가와 생산자뿐만 아니라 농업법인과 가공 유통업자도 보증지원을 보다 쉽게 받을 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 금융위원회는 농어업 활력제고 및 창조 농어업 지원을 위한 '농림수산업자신용보증기금(이하 농신보)' 제도를 이같이 개선할 방침이라고 지난 3일 밝혔다. 1972년 설립된 농신보는 농림어업인 등을 대상으로 농어업 대출자금 등의 보증을 지원한다. 설립 이후 96조5,000억원의 보증을 지원했다. 지난 5월 기준 보증잔액은 8조9,000억원으로 농어가(개인)와 농어업생산에 대해 중점적인 보증을 제공했다. 개인 생산자 보증잔액은 개인이 13조4,000억원, 생산자가 12조원이다. 금융위원회는 전통 소극적 지원방식에 치중된 농신보 보증지원을 대내외 여건변화에 따라 개설시킬 것이라고 밝혔다. 농신보 보증지원 대상 확대(농어가${\rightarrow}$법인, 생산${\rightarrow}$가공 유통) 및 보증방식 개선 등의 이유로 보증제도 개선이 필요해서다. 이 뿐 아니라 WTO 및 FTA 체결 등에 따른 농수산물 수입증가, 농어촌 인구 고령화 등 대내외 여건 변화도 이유다. 새로운 환경 대응 및 농어업 경쟁력 제고를 위해 지원 대상 확대 등 제로베이스에서의 검토 개선이 필요한 시점이다. 금융위가 발표한 농신보 기본 개선방향은 크게 3가지다. ${\triangle}$창업지원 및 우대보증 확대 ${\triangle}$지원대상 확대 ${\triangle}$기금제도 개선 등이다.
