Abstract

In this study, for the people who turned or returned to farming (the "Returnees"), information provision measures were sought, focusing on "farmland," for their difficulties in the settlement phase and finding a way for their new agricultural companies to settle in the farming business stably. For this purpose, this study considered endogeneity using a bivariate probit model. According to the results of the study, first, there is a strong positive correlation between the difficulty of securing farmland and the demand for providing farmland information in the settlement phase. Therefore, to ensure the stable settlement of the Returnees, it is necessary to actively respond to their demand through the provision of farmland information. Second, for young returnees, the probability of encountering difficulties in securing farmland is high during the settlement phase. Third, if the young returnees returned to farming after seeing the possibility of agricultural development, the possibility of securing farmland in the settlement stage decreases, and although there was no statistical significance, the demand for farmland information also decreases. Fourth, it was found that if the returnees intend to expand the scale of farming in the future, it is difficult to secure farmland in the settlement phase, and the demand for farmland information also increases.

본 연구에서는 농촌지역으로 귀농한 새로운 농업경영체들이 안정적으로 영농에 정착할 수 있는 방안을 모색하기 위해 '농지'를 중심으로 이주 후 정착단계에서의 애로사항과 정보제공 방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 이변량 프로빗 모델을 활용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 귀농인이 이주 후 정착단계에서 농지확보의 어려움과 농지정보 제공 수요는 강한 양(+)의 상관관계가 있다. 따라서 정착단계에서 농지확보의 어려움을 겪고 있는 귀농인들에게 농지정보제공을 통해 이들의 농지수요에 적극적으로 대응할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 젊은 귀농인의 경우 정착단계에서 농지확보의 어려움을 겪을 확률이 증가한다. 셋째, 청년농업인이 농업발전가능성을 보고 귀농한 경우 정착단계에서 농지확보의 어려움을 겪을 가능성은 감소하고, 비록 통계적 유의성은 없지만 농지정보수요 역시 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 넷째, 향후 영농규모 확대 의향이 있는 경우 정착단계에서 농지확보의 어려움이 있고, 농지정보 수요 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
