The main results of this study could be summarized as follows: A characteristic common to all the school food service systems was that 'cooking and distribution management' took the longest hours of work, while 'nutrition education' took the shortest hours of work. The standardized index of dietician over school food service was one person in conventional system independently of the number of meals per day. In the commissary system, according to the numbers of meals served per day, it was 0.95-1.38 persons and 1.27-1.55 persons and 1.40-1.91 persons.

The purpose of this study was to identify obstacles by surveying dieticians' perception in implementing Generic HACCP Plan for school foodservice operations from 2001. The survey was conducted in five areas; Seoul, Kyoung-gi Province, In-cheon, Kwang-ju and Dae-jeon. Five hundred and sixty questionnaire were sent by the e-mail address and the local school dietician's Community Board on the internet, 263 were returned. Two hundred and forty were returned by E-mail, return rate was 42.86%. Twenty three were received by the local school dietician's Community Board on the internet. The obstacles were grouped of six fields and indicated thirteen factors in implementation of the Generic HACCP Plan for school foodservice. The six fields were 'status of cooperation within HACCP team', 'cooperation with the external people' such as teachers, food suppliers, student's parents, 'understanding HACCP system of the dieticians', 'hygiene facilities', 'training & educating employees', and 'difficulty of monitoring'. To assess the factor as a obstacle we used Likert's scale; 5-agree strongly, 4-agree, 3-medial, 2-don't agree, 1-don't agree strongly. Results of this study are as follows; 1) The scores of thirteen factors indicated as obstacles were over 3(medial) except ‘lack of dietician's understanding about HACCP System(2.86$\pm$0.97)'. Also only about 63% dieticians recognized that as an obstacle factor. 2) ‘Deficiency of hygiene facilities(4.41$\pm$0.76), ‘lack of teachers' cooperation(4.23$\pm$0.77)', ‘inadequacy of the kitchen lay-out(4.19$\pm$0.95)' and ‘lack of training and educating program for employees(3.97$\pm$0.85)' scored most highly. Results from this study show that financial resources and educating system are very important to settle down HACCP system for School Foodservices successfully.

Sanitary management with step-by-step working process and dietician's perception against them at 98 food service institutions located in Jeollabuk-Do were surveyed. Food service institutions included 13 hospitals, 38 schools,40 enterprises, and 7 others. Practice ratio of sanitary management items at purchasing and receiving step of food and food materials in food service institutions were 59.2-98.0%, and they were higher than those of other steps. In pre-treatment step, practice ratio of 'Undoing treatment of foods on the ground' in hospital was higher (53.8%) than those of enterprise (32.5%) and school (34.2%), and needed the improvement of pre-treatment procedure in enterprise and school. Practice ratio of all sanitary management items in cooking step were below 30%, and needed the improvement of cooking procedure. In storage step, the improvement of cooking procedure in school and enterprise were needed. Practice ratio of all sanitary management items in distribution step were low, and needed the improvement of this working procedure. However, in spite of low practice ratio on these items, dietician's perception against sanitary management items in all steps was low. Therefore, we estimated that the improvement of working processes and the conversion of dietician' perception on sanitary managements in food service institutions were needed.
