‘창조적 광역발전’시대의 농식품부 사업 광역화 및 체계화 방안 연구 : 농촌정책의 체계화를 중심으로

Abstract

The aim of this study is, first, to analyze rural conditions and current rural policies, based upon on-going discussions centered around the policy of area-wide economic zones of the current regime, and secondly, to suggest a systematic organization scheme for ‘basic settlement areas’ development policies in order to promote their efficiency and synergy effects of integrated policy drives. There are 4 major substantive contents in this report, - Theoretical examination of ‘basic settlement areas’, especially their meaning and relevance - Analysis of urban expansion and reorganization in national settlement patterns, and of subsequent changes in rural spatial patterns and structure - Analysis of current MIFAFF rural policy programs and projects and their obstacles and limitations - Suggestions for a systematic re-organization of MIFAFF rural policies In order to re-organize MIFAFF rural policies, first, some small-scale rural policy programs and projects must be abolished and others must be merged. Together with small-scale policy abolishment and merger, secondly, a package of blanket financial assistance must be extended, and policy guidelines also must be furnished, to local governments. Third, planning must be instituted at all local governments for effective policy preparation, implementation and evaluation. Fourth, a system of incentives and penalties, in conjunction with a measure for the evaluation of policy outputs and outcomes, must be in place. Finally, all relevant legal codes and regulations must be reviewed and if necessary, re-written.
