  • It is widely recognized that primary health care in the community is one of the most important and effective health measures in these days. However, it is reality that unsatisfactory health care system, ineffective utilization of health care by the community people in the rural area are hampering better understanding for primary health care. Therefore promoting health for the rural people and increasing understanding about primary health care, the baseline survey in the community focused in examination for safe community water supply was carried out. The survey was conducted through August 25-31, 1986 in order to find out health problems and relevant factors and to define the demographic characteristics of $^*$Sanpuk village, Kumsa-Myun, Yuju-Gun, Kyunggi-Do, Korea. Household survey was carried out for every home by trained interviewers. The major results are found out as follows : 1) 84.2%(400 houses) of total households were surveyed because 15.8%(75 houses) were unable to survey due to either refusal against interview or absence of family. These 400 households were composed of 1,697 residents(male:830, female 867). Educational level of respondents showed 34.1% as elementary school graduated. Religion distribution showed Buddism(23.8%) as the most dominant. 50.7% of respondents married in the area. 2) Most households(91.5%) have lived in their own house in Sanpuk area. Average family size showed 4.3. More than half of residents(64.2%) have used public supplied water tap. Only 1.5% of the households had a flush toliet. The rest of households have still used primitive insanitary latrines. 3) 32.5% of residents have used gas burner for cooking and for heating in the house, and the coal briquet were used for boiler. Lack of convenient public transportation was the chief complaint for their day life. 4) Each household occupied 1,990 pyungs of rice paddy and 1,170 pyungs of ordinary field in average. Beside farming products, mushroom was the highest product. 5) Sixth percent of households in the survey area regularly participated in community meeting one hand and on the other hand 39.5% never participated. Most of respondents closely contacted with their neighbours and they seemed very friendly each other. 6) The prevalence rate of illness and injury during recent 15 days showed 48.3 per 1,000. The prevalence rate of chronic illnesses during the past one year showed 74 per 1,000. Injury and accident lead the higher portion(22.0%) in the former and in the latter pain(arthritis, back-pain) showed 27.0% as the dominant sickness. 87.8% of the ill residents in the former received medical treatment. As the most frequently utilized medical facility, the clinic or hospital were counted. Among the residents suffering from chronic illnesses, 77.3% in Sanpuk area get some kind of medical treatments and they rarely utilized the clinic or hospital. The reason why the patient did not receive any medical care was found out the fact that symptoms of illness was light or mild and economic problems was serious. 7) Average age of marriage showed 21.6 years old in the women and the average duration of marital period was shown for 15.1 years. The married woman in reproductive age in Sanpuk area had experienced pregnancies 4 times in the aver-age including 0.7 time of pregnancy in average were interrupted by induced abortion and 0.3 time by spontaneous abortion respectively. The practicing rate of the family planning of the married woman during reproductive ages showed 70.7% and the tuballigation was found out as the most frequently used contraceptives. 8) Among woman who has children under 2 years old, 70.0% had received the prenatal care for the last pregnancy. However, the average number of prenatal care visitis per woman showed 3.3 times. Fifty-two % of woman who received the postnatal care for the last delivery showed only 37.5%. 9) Immunization rate of the children under 2 years old showed relatively high and looked successful. The breast feeding for these children showed dominantly in the most. Most of the mothers in Sanpuk area had started the supplementary diet during weaning period of their infants of 6th and 7th month after birth. * : Sanpuk area is a demstration area for community development which has been supported by the Community Development Foundation during the part 10 years. The village is relatively closer to urban area such as Seoul, However, it has a similar characteristics shown as a remote village because of geographical location and inconvenient transportation at present.

  • This study was conducted to compare the characteristics of high performane areas for family planning with that of low performance areas and to find factors which strongly affected contraceptive practice behavior. For the study, eight areas were selected from 274 rural family planning canvassing areas of Korean Population Policy and Program Evaluation Study, which was an action study operated in all areas of Cheju Island from July 1, 1976 until December 31,1979. As a first step of the action study, Cheju Island was devided up 318 family planning canvasser areas Each area was consisted of 200 households in rural district and 300 households in urhan one Duriog the period of project, each canvassing area had been managed by a female family planning canvasser, selected by director of health center considering several individual conditions needed for family planning activities Basic activities of canvassers were to counsell all the eligihie couples in own charged area about family planning methods and also to distribute contraceptives such as condoms and oral pills. In case couples desire to accept sterilization including vasectomy and tubal-ligation, the canvassers played a linking role connecting potential client with family planning field workers. Canvassng areas shows significant differentce in performance for family planning, nevertheless they are supposed to have almost the same conditions regarding family planning distribution channel. Because the purpose of the Cheju project was to eliminate all the problems that existed in governmental distribution system, that is to remove geographic, economic, cognitive and administrative barriers Accumulated performances of family planning methods accepted by residents in each area were calculated by eligible women aged 14-49. And then canvassing areas were ranked according to performance score. Consequently, 4 areas in extremely high and low family planning performance areas were selected respectively. Major results were obtained by comparing characteristics of high performance area with that of low performance areas, which are as follows: 1. The mean number of living children was about the same both in high and low performance areas for family planning. But respondents' mean age (38.5) in high performance areas was higher than that (37.0) in low performance areas 2. Respondents' perception in the expectant educational level of others' children in high performance areas was higher than that in low performance areas, although respondents educational level, monthly expenditure and ratio of children in high school and above was not different. 3. Ratio of ownerships of TV and newspaper in high performance areas was highen than that in low performance areas 4. The duration of canvasser' charge in high performance areas was longer than that of low performance areas, showing the fact that canvassers didn't move cut in high performance areas 5. In high performance areas, canvassers' houses were relatively located in the center part of the village. And so villagers resided in near distances from the anvasser's house 6. 4H clubs' activities in high performance areas were more active than those in low performance areas Therefore it was assumed that cohesiveness of community in high performance areas were stronger than that in low areas. 7. Canvassers' family planning practice rate was higher than that in low performance areas, and also canvassers' human relationship was more sociable than that of canvassers in low performance areas. 8. Fourteen variables which showed relatively high significance level in $X^2$ and F test were selected as independent variables for stepwise regression analysis. According to the results of regression analysis. five of 14 variables-distributors education level ($R^2$=.4439), duration of distributor's charge ($R^2$=.6166), 4H club activities ($R^2$=.6697), canvasser's contraceptive practice ($R^2$=.7377) and location of distributions house ($R^2$=.8010) explained 80.1 percent of total variance.

  • 최근 공공미술을 중심으로 하는 장소 만들기를 비롯한 경관계획의 증가와 함께, 도시의 사회 문화적 변화와 그 특성을 배경으로 한 외국인 마을, 도심 속 명소의 등장과 같은 다양한 장소들이 생성되고 있으며, 그에 따른 장소 마케팅 또한 대두되고 있다. 이러한 추세는 장소성에 대한 고찰이 결여된 장소의 창조와 장소마케팅으로 인해 획일화, 상업화된 장소의 확산을 유발할 수 있으며, 따라서 환경계획 설계 분야에서의 장소성에 대한 이해와 심층적인 연구가 선행되어야 하는 필요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 본 연구는 장소성 연구의 일환으로, 국내 프랑스인의 40% 이상이 거주하고 있고 서울시의 명소로 시민들이 방문하고 있는 서래마을을 대상으로 주민과 방문자의 장소성 지각의 차이와 장소적 현상을 통해 장소성 형성요인과 장소 정체성을 연구하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서래마을은 프랑스인 주민의 주거 및 교육환경의 필요에 의해 형성된 장소로서, 이에 부합하는 활동과 의미의 범위에 한정되는 내부성을 형성하고 있다. 또한, 서래마을의 물리적 환경은 프랑스적 요소의 진정성이 결여된 형태로써, 이는 주민의 소극적 활동으로 연결되고 있다. 둘째, 방문자의 경우에는 프랑스 마을이라는 상징적 의미가 우세하게 작용하고 그에 따른 활동 및 의미에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 외부환경의 프랑스적 요소의 진정성 여부는 이러한 외부성을 형성하는데 영향을 미치지 않았다. 셋째, 방문자의 활동 및 장소에 대한 의미부여는 한국인으로 형성된 상권의 활성화에 의해 형성되었으며, 이러한 장소의 상업화 및 활동의 확대는 서래마을의 내부성보다 우세하게 작용하여, 내부성과 외부성의 역전현상을 나타내고 있다. 넷째, 서래마을은 내부의 경험이 아닌, 방문자의 기호를 중심으로 이루어진 장소로써, 프랑스적 상징성을 활용하여 이루어진 대중적 정체성으로 해석된다. 다섯째, 프랑스인의 거주목적으로 이루어진 내부성은 진정성이 결여된 프랑스적 기호를 매개로 한 가공된 장소성으로 재생산 되었으며, 이는 장소의 본질적 측면 보다는 과장되고 상업화된 장소로서 피상적인 가면성을 나타내고 있다.

  • The World Health Organization and its member states, in 1978, declared that primary health care is a key to attain the goal of Health for All by the goal of Health for All by the yeas 2000. As a member state of WHO, the Republic of Korea has participated in the declaration of ALMA-ATA and committed to put national efforts for devedoping and implementing primary health care approach with the spirit and content of this Declaration. Since 1978, to translate the spirit of the Declaration into realization, Korean goverment has developed a new category of health manpower such as Community Health Practitioners serving people living in remote rural areas and Village Health Workers serving voluntarily their own village, strengthened the function of Health Centers and Health Subcenters through their reorientation and improved the infrastructure by their new construction or renovation. While primary health care is viewed as an essential health care in Korea, there are some circles who follow a narrow definition in referring to the health care at the periphey of a health system, which is erroneous. Considering the PHC is accepted as the best alternative approach to health care to solve problems that modern health systems are facing, we propose the followings as desirable health policy directions that modern health systems are facing, we propose the followings as desirable health policy directions which might translate the persopective into action at the national level after reviewing past and current PHC approach in Korea : 1. To improve the equity through the reduction of gaps between those who have access to health care and those who have not. 2. To reinforce multisectoral approach and intersectoral coordination through the re- establishment of the National Health Council or establishment of equivalent organization at the central level. 3. To stengthen community participation through lacal people's empowerment by leadership training, changing planning process from the top-down approach to bottom-up and giving the priority to human resources rater than technology, 4. To reinforce the Ministries of Health and Social Affairs through upgrading its role and function to Coordinate Ministries which involve human welfare policies, and creating a Division which is in charge of PHC in the Ministry.

  • Due to rapid decrease in population of farming and fishing villages and drain of young rural manpower to the cities, aging is being intensified, and the conditions of housing and welfare of elderly households are inadequate. Currently, group home is being discussed as part of specialized housing and welfare support policy for the people in the vulnerable class with poor self-supporting abilities such as the aged living alone in farming and fishing villages, and aged farming and fishing households. So the purpose of this research is to present the basic data for proposing the policy of supplying group home through examining the realities of housing and welfare of the people in the vulnerable class in farming and fishing villages. Survey was conducted on the 4 regions -Cheonan-si, Gongju-si, Yesan-gun, and Seosan-si - whose apartments were all occupied by the residents among the group homes for the elderly living alone in Chungcheongnam-do and the following results were derived from the analysis on the data collected from the survey. First, great effects can be attained at small costs by reorganizing and utilizing the public facilities that are unused or little used and the existing houses that are exposed to risks due to improper maintenance. Second, it can be pointed out that the residential environment of the vulnerable members of society was improved without impairing the existing village landscape. Third, housing welfare was enhanced without investing a large sum of money and the system to promptly cope with negligent accidents and emergency can be built and operated. Fourth, the cases promoted to solve the problems of the poor, unhygienic, and unsafe housing of the elderly and the vulnerable members of society were very positive and well worthy of being presented as planning direction of future group homes in farming and fishing villages. Finally, if they are operated entirely for free, it will cause the lack of the sense of ownership and the problems in securing the budget, so the ways of paying minimum individual housing expenses should be examined. The alternatives of housing welfare for the vulnerable members of farming and fishing villages are needed and the ways of constructive planning and researches should be continuously made. Also, the government's support policy should be actively promoted.

  • Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, one of the representative small rain regions, has developed a traditional irrigation farming system while overcoming and adapting to unfavorable agricultural environments from the days of the ancient nation of Jomunguk to the present. In 2018, its value was recognized and designated as Nationally Important Agricultural Heritage System No. 10. This study was conducted with the purpose of examining the characteristics of the traditional irrigation farming system in Uiseong from the viewpoints of irrigation facilities, irrigation communities, and agricultural activities. The research results are as follows. Uiseong-gun has been expanding irrigation facilities for agriculture since long ago, and it has been investigated that a total of 6,227 irrigation facilities are currently distributed along the Wicheon water system that crosses Uiseong-gun from east to west. Irrigation facilities appear differently depending on the topography. The irrigation facility has a 'su-tong' as an irrigation passage and a corkscrew structure 'mot-tchong' as a water quantity control device, so the amount of water was adjusted as needed. Through this facility, surface water with warmer temperature is supplied to the farmland to prevent cold damage to crops. Uiseong has developed activities to organize irrigation communities in one village or several villages to secure agricultural water from an early age. Currently, this tradition continues, and a total of 213 irrigation communities manage 375 irrigation facilities (6.0% of all irrigation facilities). Through this organization, called Mong-ri-gye, water for agriculture is obtained, managed, and distributed equitably. In order to increase agricultural production, Uiseong implemented double cropping by converting rice fields and fields. In the case of Mt. Geumseong, double cropping of rice and barley was mainly carried out until the 1970s, but since the 1980s, double cropping of rice and garlic has been implemented with higher income. One of the unique features of the agricultural system of this region is the spectacular landscape that changes simultaneously from field to rice field in spring and from rice field to field in autumn.

  • 본 연구는 현재 비보 못과 비보 숲의 형태가 남아있는 대구광역시 소재 경주 최씨의 씨족마을인 옻골마을을 대상으로 실증적인 조사를 하여 환경생태적으로 해석하고자 한다. 특히, 비보경관인 비보연못, 비보숲 그리고 마을수계를 환경생태적으로 해석하고 규명하고자 한다. 연구방법은 연구대상지에 현재 남아 있는 비보경관에 대해 풍수지리적으로 서술하고 이것에 대한 환경생태적 의미를 규명하고자 한다. 환경생태적 의미는 매우 포괄적인 개념이지만 본 연구는 실증적 연구로서 삶의 질의 측면에서 다음과 같이 해석하고자 한다. 첫째, 지속적인 수계기능의 활성화를 규명하고자 수질을 측정했다. 즉 선비의 상징 및 휴식공간이 있는 동계, 생활주거공간인 서계, 이 두 계곡의 물이 합쳐지는 비보연못 그리고 연못에서 머문 후 마을 밖으로 흐르는 개울의 수질을 측정했다. 둘째, 마을의 안과 밖을 경계하는 비보숲의 미기후에 대한 기능을 평가하고자 했다. 즉 숲을 중심으로 각각 200m 떨어진 지점에 각 지점별 2개의 온도기를 설치하여 시간대별로 기온을 측정했다. 셋째, 건전한 생태계를 지속시킬 수 있는지에 대해 측정했다. 즉 경관생태지표를 선정하여 측정했다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 비보연못은 수질정화의 기능을 하는 것으로 규명되었다. 또한 동계정, 정려각 등 조경공간의 기능이 배치되어 있는 동계는 암벽과 계류 등 경관이 빼어나 주로 남성들이 이용하는 공간이었던 것에 비하여 주거공간이 많은 서계는 빨래 등 여성들의 활동에 필요한 공간으로 사용된 것으로 수질의 차를 설명할 수 있을 것으로 사려된다. 둘째, 비보숲의 경우는 그 목적인 방풍과 온도저감을 기대하기는 적합하지 않는 소규모의 마을숲으로 다만 마을의 영역을 구분하는 기능을 한다고 해석함이 바람직할 것이다. 셋째, 경관생태지표를 통한 생태적 건전성은 양호하며 보통의 전통농촌마을과 유사성을 보이고 있다. 녹지연결측면에서 본다면 마을 경계녹지와 마을숲의 연결은 매우 양호하다. 특히 훼손된 마을숲을 잘 복원한다면 생물서식환경의 기능을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 연구결과를 고찰해보면, 전통마을공간은 인간과 자연이 유기적인 통합체로 공존하는 환경생태학적 사고를 바탕에 둔 풍수지리사상의 영향으로 형성되었다. 또한 환경생태적 방법으로 볼 때, 풍수지리사상 중 비보사상에 의해 조성된 비보못과 비보숲의 의미는 지속 가능한 마을을 조성하는 중요 요소로 볼 수 있다. 다양한 수공간은 물의 순환체계를 원활하게 해주어 수질정화와 수량 확보에 크게 기여할 것이며, 숲은 마을을 위요시켜주면서 미기후를 조성하게 해주어서 겨울과 여름철의 기온차와 습도차를 줄어줄 것이다. 하지만, 숲의 규모가 작고 훼손이 심한 경우 상징적인 영역성을 나타내는 경우가 많다. 그리고 전체 녹지체계와 식생구성은 생물다양성을 증진시키고 종의 이동을 원활하게 하는 연결녹지로서 기여할 것이다. 옻골마을은 마을형국을 보다 완전하게 만들기 위해 비보경관을 조성했다. 즉 땅의 생태질서를 최대한 유지하고 그것에 대한 점진적 이해를 바탕으로 조정된 마을로 쾌적한 주거환경을 만들어 낼 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 전통마을계획방법은 유기적이고 환경생태적인 방법이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 환경생태학에서 보는 전통마을은 객관적으로 이해될 수 있는 대상이다.

  • In this county, the gap between the urban 'haves' and the rural 'have-nots' continues to be an increasing problem. WHO and UNICEF see primary health care(PHC) as the key to achieving an acceptable level of health throughout the world as a community development. PHC is essential health care made accessible to individuals and families in the community by means acceptable to them. It is the first level of contact of individual, the family, and community with the national health system. It includes at least education on health system. It includes at least education on health problems, promotion of food supply, MCH including family planning, immunization against infectious diseases, control of endemic diseases, treatment of common diseases and injuries, promotion of mental health, and provision of essential drugs. However, of the aboves, education concerning of mental health problems and the methods to identify, prevent, and control them is the principal step of establishment. In Korea, the category of PHC worker includes the physician as public doctor and nurse as primary health care practitioner and community health leader as village health worker. PHC workers of the aboves will thus function best if they are appropriately trained to respond to the health needs of the community. However in this country, since the national PHC service project launched in 1980, the government has not developed and performed appropriate and enough education and training activities. In light of above reasons, several categories of health education activities had been planned and performed being aimed at above specific target groups and the main focus was on the village health workers for about one year from July 1991 to July 1992 in Yeoju Kun of Kyonki Province. At the end of the period, evaluation of education input was carried out to measure the improvement of healthful life of people in terms of awareness, attitude, and practice. At the end of the period, evaluation of education input was carried out to measure the improvement of healthful life of people in terms of awareness, attitude, and practice. The totals of 80 village health workers, 13 public health practitioners and 9 public docters took in the course of health education for a few hours at every month and the evaluation works of educational effect were taken. The results the study were as follows. 1) Number of persons who realized the maxim "health care of the people is a duty of the government" increased after the education course, On the other hand, the rate of satisfaction on the effort of government for health promotion of the people decreased. 2) Public doctors and primary health care practitioners(nurses) liked and enjoyed the education schedule as a meeting of peer group. It provided chances of communication with staffs of Korea University Hospital. It was said that lectures covered great deal of knowledge and technic they urgently needed in the field. 3) After finishing the education course, more of village health workers(VHW) thought they adapted themselves to their roles and functions showing increased number of home visit and contact with primary health care practitioners by month. 4) In case of patient refer, VHW preferred primary health care practitioners to public doctors. 5) Capability of VHWs in most of their functions increased dramatically after when the education course finished except tuberculosis control.
