An Institutional Approach on Land Problems; Concentrate on Agricultural Development Areas

농업진흥지역(農業振興地域)의 문제점(問題點)과 개선방안(改善方案)

Agricultural land act was promulgated 1994, 12, 22. Now this is the time to evaluate present agricultural land related laws and its implications. Land problem is a conflict between private characteristics of ownership and public characteristics of utilization. Agricultural development aeras are the key areas where the conflict is intersected. Agricultural development aeras have many regulations to their use, so the price is relatively low. However to keep the food sufficiencies and public purposes, government have to keep agricultural development aeras. To compensate the owners of agricultural development aeras, I suggested some measures. One is direct payment to the owners of agricultural development aeras, the others are environmental subsidies.
