도시농업 운영의 인식과 만족도에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the perception and satisfaction of the urban farming management. For this purpose, a survey was conducted to understand the perception and satisfaction of the urban agricultural management and the participants consisted of experts and general public of urban farming. In the survey, perceptions of the two groups were compared to explore ways of promoting and vitalizing urban agriculture in the future. The results of the study could be summed up as follows: Expert group became aware of urban agriculture through education and expended about 30 minutes to one hour per week for farming. The size of their garden farm is larger than 20 square meters, which is bigger than the average size of 10 square meters of general people. It was also known from the survey that experts mostly utilize their private garden farm and that the higher their education level is, the more they prefer the farm garden which is offered for sale by public organizations. As for preference to urban agriculture, the school farm of education-at-school type was most highly preferred in ratio. Dong-gwan Lee (2013) asserted that the mostly preferred activities include participating in urban agricultural education programs, planting and farming in urban areas to improve landscape. He also argued that the benefits of improving children's eating habits and children's learning nature through eco-friendly agricultural products could lead to increased interest of the parents in the urban agriculture and higher satisfaction.
