Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate 106 grassland farms in six provinces including Chungcheongbuk-do, Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, Jeju-do, and Jeollanam-do to present their problems and causes by surveying the actual state of grassland farms during three years(2014~2016). The grassland survey was divided into three categories; used as the perennial grasses and annual forage crops (Complied with Grassland Act), not used as the perennial grasses and annual forage crops (Not complied with Grassland Act) and failed to meet the farmer and some items are missing or inaccurate (Insufficient contents). Among the surveyed grassland farm, 68 farms (64.2 %) were complied with Grassland Act but 30 farms (28.3 %) were not complied with Grassland Act. Especially, the 8 farms (26.7 %) not complied with Grassland Act used the grassland as other purposes such as tree growing, golf club and swine farm etc.. Therefore, strict on-site investigation by local governments is required to prevent the grassland from being used by illegal purposes. And there's a strong likelihood that 5 farms (62.5 %) avoided the survey violate the positive law. Grassland grades used by the local administrative agencies were not influenced by the factors affecting the yield (existence and non-existence of overseeding and fertilization by grassland grade, soil pH and organic matter content). This results suggest that there is a fundamental problem on the current grassland grade system based on the yield and the irregular time of investigation and lack of on-site investigation are another causes for inaccurate grassland grade. Therefore, the new method evaluating grassland grades which is not based on yield and the thorough on-site investigation by local administrative agencies are necessary when the grassland grade is evaluated.

본 연구는 우리나라 초지보유농가의 초지실태를 조사하여 문제점과 그 원인을 제시하고자 3년간(2014~2016) 충청북도를 비롯하여 6개도(강원도, 경기도, 경상북도, 경상남도, 제주도 및 전라남도)의 106농가를 조사하였다. 초지조사는 초지법을 준수하여 다년생 목초 및 단년생 사료작물로 이용하고 있는 경우(초지법기준이용), 초지법을 준수하지 않고 있다고 판단한 경우(기타 이용) 및 농장주를 만나지 못하여 조사항목의 일부가 누락 또는 부정확하거나 농장주가 조사를 거부한 경우(조사미흡)로 구분하여 실시하였다. 조사농가 중 초지법기준이용 농가는 68농가(64.2 %)였으나, 기타이용 농가도 30농가(28.3 %)에 달하였다. 특히 이 중 타 용도(식물원, 골프장 및 돼지농장 등)로 이용하고 있는 농가도 8농가(26.7 %)를 포함하고 있어 불법이용을 방지하기 위하여 지자체의 보다 철저한 현장조사를 통한 취소 등의 강력한 행정조치가 요구된다. 또한, 조사미흡 8농가(7.5 %) 중 조사를 거부한 5농가(62.5 %)는 실정법을 위반하고 있을 가능성이 높다고 판단된다. 일선 행정기관에서 이용하는 초지등급은 생산량에 영향을 주는 요인(보파유무, 시비유무 및 토양의 pH와 유기물함량)에 영향을 받지 않았다. 이는 생산량을 기준으로 한 초지등급평가에 대한 근본적인 문제점을 시사하고 있다. 또한, 일선 행정기관에서 조사시기의 차이나 부실한 현장조사도 부정확한 초지등급의 또 다른 원인이라고 판단된다. 따라서 초지등급을 평가할 때에는 생산량 기준이 아닌 새로운 평가방법의 도입과 철저한 현장조사가 필요하다.
