| The purpose of the present study is first to examine land use policies from diverse OECD countries, and second to find some implications from the policies, which can be applied to the land use policy of Korea. The condition and management of land resources have become an increasing matter of concern in recent years, because of the pressure placed upon land for agricultural use by expanding populations and economic development. Pressures upon land quality can lead to various forms of land degradation, such as in soil erosion, soil fertility decline, adverse changes in water resources, salinization of irrigated areas, or decline in the biological condition of forests or rangelands. Compared with agricultural land policies of various countries, the present study argues that it is important to establish policies for preventing changes in agricultural land use. The present study also stresses that stewardship of agricultural land resources plays a leading role in achieving sustainable rural development, not to mention agricultural and forestry production and is expected to form the foundation of our land policy to be reorganized through other countries' policies. | |
