FGD를 통한 지역사회 차원의 농업이주노동자 주거지원 탐색 - 철원군 양지마을 농업인력지원공간 조성 사례를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study examines the current status of housing for agricultural foreign workers and the direction of access to residential support for agricultural foreign workers in the local community. The case study in Yangji Village, Cheorwon-gun, and the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) research method were used. The results of the study are as follows. Farm owners have limitations in responding to the recently strengthened standards for residential facilities in agricultural foreign workers. Therefore, there is a limit to responding to the standards of residential facilities for agricultural foreign workers, which have been strengthened in terms of policy at the community level, and the search for alternatives at the community level has led to an urgent situation. Accordingly, it was suggested that accommodation jointly operated in the region is necessary to cope with the housing problem of agricultural foreign workers. In addition, it was confirmed that consensus was being formed in local communities such as farm owners, agricultural foreign workers, and related institutions. This study emphasized the need for a community-level approach to improving residential facilities, which are passed on to farmers employing agricultural foreign workers and increase the burden. Ultimately, it is significant that the discussion on the housing problem of agricultural foreign workers, which has been overlooked, has been expanded to the community level, confirming the possibility of expanding the relationship between agricultural foreign workers as members of rural society.
