농업경영기록은 체계적인 경영 분석을 위한 출발점이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 현실에서는 다양한 요인들로 인해 농가에서 농업경영기록이 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있다. 그 결과 경영 실태의 파악이 어려우며, 이를 기초로 경영진단과 장래의 경영 계획 또한 어렵게 된다. 경영 기록의 중요성이 이와 같이 명백한 반면 학계에서의 관련 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 그러므로 경영기록과 관련된 현재 농업인의 실태를 파악하고, 기록 관련 실태에 영향을 미치는 농업인의 특성을 규명하는 것은 매우 시급한 과제이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 개별 농업인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 농업경영 기록 실태를 파악하였으며, 빈도분석, 교차분석, 로짓(Logit) 분석, 순위프로빗(Ordered Probit) 분석 등 통계적 분석을 이용하여 기록 실태와 이에 영향을 미치는 농업인의 특성간의 관계를 규명하였다. 분석 결과 다수의 농업인들이 경영기록의 필요성을 느끼고 있으나 회계 지식이 다소부족하고 적절한 기록 매체가 부족하여 농업경영기록이 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있었으며, 관련 교육 또한 매우 부족하였다. 따라서 농업인들이 사용하기 쉬운 농업경영기록장을 개발하고 농업경영에 대한 적절한 교육이 시행될 필요가 있다. 마지막으로 도출된 결과를 바탕으로 몇 가지 농업경영기록의 개선방안을 제시하였다.

Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate a multi-purpose rollator, which may be used as a seat, as a traditional walker, or as a storage basket for elderly farmers. Background: The rollators on the market are not user-friendly designed and seen inconvenient for elderly farmers to use, although they are sold at considerably high price. Since they lack enough space to load stuffs and are not durable or stable enough, they do not seem to be suitable for elderly farmers to use in rural areas. Method: Two types of methods were used in this study. First, the survey consisted of 19 questions was conducted among elderly farmers in rural areas, after using the developed rollator, to evaluate the usability of the rollator developed in this study. Second, EMG experiment was conducted to compare the existing rollator and developed rollator quantitatively. Through this experiment, we tried to verify the differences of muscle responses, when using the traditional and the developed ones, which have their own brake system, in the ramp. Results: The developed rollator was highly evaluated in most of the questions in the usability survey, except for the 'Weight' category in which the opinions were divided into three different types (Worse: 31%, Similar: 30%, Better: 36%). The result of EMG experiment showed that the existing rollator (7.4%MVC) demands more muscle strength than the developed rollator (5.5%MVC) does. By statistically analyzing the results of upper limb and lower limb respectively, we found out that all the muscles except deltoid in upper limb showed statistically significant differences in muscle activity when using the existing and the developed rollator. However, there was no statistical difference in lower limb muscles. Conclusion: The developed rollator in this study has maximized the functionality of the brake system, the storage and the chair, which were pointed out as the weaknesses of existing rollators. Furthermore, the developed rollator is designed to be more user-friendly, safe, durable, and effective for elderly farmers to use in rural areas, where roads are rough and bumpy. Application: We expect that the emergency brake system developed in this study would be utilized for other convenience equipment, such as strollers and carts, and that it would be able to develop and produce more secure and reliable equipment in the future.

본 연구에서는 경기, 전북, 경북의 전업농을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 기초로 농산물 무역 자유화 및 농촌의 사회경제적 문제에 대한 농민들의 견해와 그 지역적 차이를 살펴보았다. 농업부문이 보호주의 및 규율체제에서 무역 자유화를 통한 자유시장경쟁체제로 전환됨에 따라 농민들은 세계시장체제에 직접적으로 노출되어 농업 기술과 경영면에서의 현대화를 강요받고 있다. 농민들은 원칙적으로 세계시장체제로의 통합에 대해서 긍정적 반응을 보이고 있으나 실제 이행되고 있는 자유시장정책들에 대해서는 부정적 반응을 보이고 있다. 설문조사 분석결과 농민들의 생활환경에 대한 만족도, 정부의 농업정책 노동력 부족 및 농촌의 다양한 사회경제적 이슈들에 대한 관심과 우려는 지역간 차이를 보였다. 대체로 급속한 도시화를 겪고 있는 경기도의 농민들보다는 전북과 경북 농민들의 정부의 농업정책에 대한 회의적인 반응이 높게 나타났다. 자유시장경제체제의 메커니즘을 경험하지 못한 농민들은 Uruguay Round 협정의 완결 및 WTO의 New Round출범으로 앞으로 더 증폭된 경제적 불확실성을 겪을 것으로 보인다. 이는 농업 및 농촌 관련 정책들이 보다 장기적 이고 거시적 경제계획의 틀을 바탕으로 지역적으로 상이한 농업구조와 특색에 맞추어 입안.실행될 필요가 있음을 강조한다.

History , achievement and future of direct-wet-rice-seeding technique in Korea and problems encountered in on-farming research were introduced. Some farmers are very eager to lower production cost and save labor. Their effort results in several direct-wet-seeding methods and seeding machines. The design problems and improvement points related to the direct -wet-rice-seeding machines were drawn out of field test.

Sustainable agriculture is a management system for ecological equilibrium and long-run productivity. Conversions from conventional to sustainable farming systems could have good effects on future generations' productivity and agricultural market opening in Korea. However, farmers are not willing to adopt sustainable farming system as because of farm income reductions, so government programs may be needed. Government programs should have research support for cost reductions, direct support for advocational livestock breedings and income security, and relative price changes for reducing agricultural chemicals.

Because of stricter goverment regulations concerning contamination of meat by pharmaceuticals, chemicals and a general growing sensibility of the public, customers habits are switching and farmers and vets are looking more and more for alternatives to cope with these rising demands. The trend of using Nutriceutical products, composed by using the knowledge of traditional herbal medicine systems is growing in the European Union faster now than it happened 10 years ago and this upward trend will be much stronger in the future.

With consideration of proximate and intricate relationships among rural livelihood, farm land and forestry; this paper examined impact of land tenure reform on local peoples' forest dependency by taking Ethiopia as case study. The post 1975 major land tenure reform and associated activities such as land distribution and forest demarcation were found to be short of minimizing pressure on the forest as has been evidenced by percentage of new households established inside the forest and current level of dependency on the forest. With most of recently established households all making up the poor and very poor categories, together with overall of household composition which is dominated by dependent members coupled by current land tenure system that tie farmers with their land, future dependency on the already diminished forest seems to increase unabated. Reconsidering the existing land tenure system backed by policy for livelihood diversification, improvement in rural education and awareness on demographic issues can minimize future dependency on the forest.

The purpose of this study was to analyze vocational competencies of rural youths. The study was carried out by focus group interview and questionnaire. The data were collected from 200 rural youths by stratified random sampling. The SPSSWIN / ver13 was used for analyzing data with t-test, ANOVA, and factor analysis. The major findings of this study were as follows; Firstly, rural youths showed higher competencies in handling and fixing machines, selecting seeds, where as rural youths showed lower competencies in goal setting, envisioning, acquiring agricultural policy information, management evaluation. Secondly, rural youths predicted optimistic future of their own farming even though the future of national farming should get smaller. Lastly, rural youths who are higher education, extending farming size, establishing farm had higher vocational competencies than other youths. Conclusionally, the study suggests adult-farmers give rural youths an opportunity to participate in decision making and farming.

Recently. together with consumers' increasing concerns on food safety and environmental issues. there is increasing demand on the environmentally friendly agricultural products such as organic products. At present, Japan. as a biggest net importing country of the agricultural products. is a market of the international-scale in the organic product marketing. Also. it is expected that the possibility of market expansion in the future is very high. According to the 2000 agricultural census in Japan. the number of the environment-friendly agricultural farmers were 501.556 householders. This number is about 145 percent higher than that of the 1996 results of 204,600 householders. Organic products in Japan were mainly marketed through the producer and consumer cooperation, producers' cooperation, specialized marketing company etc. However, along with the department store, big supermarket and others' participation in the market recently, the marketing channels are diversified. As of October 1999, market sales of the organic products were estimated about 350 billion yen. It is expected that organic certification system, organic products import, resturant industry scale and others will be more influential factors on the market expansion of the organic products in the future.
