안양·군포·의왕 공동급식지원센터 설립 타당성 및 운영 방안

Abstract

최근 학교급식에 대한 사회적 관심이 확대되고 있다. 학교급식에서 가장 중요한 것은 학생들에게 안전하고 높은 품질의 급식을 제공하는 것이다. 학교급식에 친환경농산물과 친환경 식재료의 사용을 확대하고자 하는 시도 역시 학교급식의 품질을 제고시키려는 노력의 일환이다. 친환경 식재료의 공급, 지역산 식재료의 공급 등 학교급식 식재료 공급에 대한 사회적 관심 역시 확대되고 있다. 학교급식법에 의하면 학교급식 식재료 공급 체계의 개선을 위해 지방자치단체의 장은 학교급식지원센터를 설립·운영할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 서울시와 경기도는 광역 자치단체 차원에서 학교급식지원센터를 설립하여 안정적으로 친환경농산물 공급하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 또한 시군 단위에서 학교급식지원센터를 설립하려는 시도도 확대되고 있으며, 하나의 학교급식지원센터가 인접한 복수의 시군에 식재료를 공급하는 사례도 나타나고 있다. 이처럼 다양한 지역에서 해당 지역의 특성에 맞는 학교급식지원센터를 설립·운영하는 시도가 확산되고 있다. 안양·군포·의왕시는 서로 인접해 있으며, 3개시의 초중고등학생의 수가 16만명에 육박하는 지역이다. 3개시가 개별적으로 학교급식지원센터를 설립하는 것보다 공동으로 설립·운영하는 것이 다양한 긍정적인 효과를 발생시킬 수 있다는 인식 하에 이를 객관적으로 규명하기 위해 이 연구가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서 안양·군포·의왕시의 학교급식과 농업 및 식품 산업 실태 조사, 영양교사와 학부모의 인식 조사, 국내외 사례 조사, 비용-편익 분석 등을 실시하였으며 이를 바탕으로 공동급식지원센터의 설립 타당성과 합리적 운영방안을 제시하고 있다.

Variety issues related to school meal and school meal support center being discussed, but due to insufficient operating experience, discussion does not come to a conclusion. Ways to build joint school meal support center are discussed by Geographically adjacent, Anyang city, Gunpo city, and Uiwang city. By doing so, it is expected that efficient school meal supply system can be settled. The purpose of this study is to evaluate feasibility of joint school meal support center, and to suggest efficient ways to build it. Administrative Statistics of Anyang city, Gunpo city, and Uiwang city are utilized to find out present situation of schools, students, agriculture, food manufacture, and so on. Monthly usage data of school meal cooking ingredients in 2010 school year were analyzed to estimate commodity demand. To identify related issues, depth interviews were conducted with nutrition teachers, administration officials of school meal, and food suppliers. Japanese school meal system was analyze by literature. A Case Study of various regions in Korea was conducted. The feasibility of joint school meal support center was analyzed by benefit-cost analysis methods. Number of students reaches 157 thousands, 153 elementary, middle and high schools have been opened in Anyang city, Gunpo city, and Uiwang city. Proportion of weight of school meal food ingredients are as followed, processed food 48.7%, 23.2% fruit and vegetables, grain 15.1%, livestock 8.8%, fishery 4.2%. Total consumption size of commodities a year in elementary, middle and high schools is estimated to be 15,894 tons - grain 2,505 tons, 3,750 tons fruit and vegetables, livestock 1,501 tons, fishery 679 tons, processed foods 7,450 tons. Total amount of supply is estimated to be 59.1 billion won - grain 6.1 billion won, 14.3 billion won fruit and vegetables, livestock 12.4 billion won, fishery 5.9 billion won, processed foods 20.5 billion won. Joint logistics center of Anyang city, Gunpo city, and Uiwang city can reduce operation costs, compared to in case of operating their own logistics center. The analysis shows that logistics center can be efficiently operated by private sector rather than operated by city. From an economic point of view, joint school meal support center is more efficient than centers operated individually. It is recommended to organize school meal administrative council to decide main issues related to operate joint school meal support center. The school meal administrative council has to reflect opinions of private sector advisories and NGOs. To operate joint school meal support center, related ordinace is enacted, and budget should be secured. Joint school meal support center expand its business area step by step. As the business grows, expanding size of organization would be reasonable. Researchers: Gouk Seung-Yong, Research period: 2011. 10. - 2012. 5.E-mail address: gouksy@krei.re.kr
