輸入食品의 安全性에 관한 實證的 硏究

Abstract

본 논문은 우리나라의 수입식품 안전관리의 현황과 문제점을 고찰하며 설문조사를 통해서 소비자들의 수입식품안전성에 대한 태도와 지식, 행동을 분석하여 각국과의 FTA체결 확산에 즈음하여 수입식품안전의 바람직한 방향과 글로벌시대의 국제적 규제에 부응할 수 있는 방법과 소비자의 수입식품오염 노출에 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 모색하여 정책수립에 기초자료를 제공하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 논문은 위와 같은 목적을 수행하기 위하여 먼저 식품안전에 관한 논의동향과 안전체계를 국제기구와 선진국들을 중심으로 고찰하여, 우리나라의 식품안전관리제도의 현황과 비교분석한다. 다음으로 수입식품 안전에 대하여 설문조사를 통하여 소비자의 태도, 지식, 행동을 고찰하고 가설을 설정에 대한 검증을 통계적 분석기법에 따라 실시한다. 본 논문의 구성은 1장의 서론에서는 연구의 목적, 연구방법 및 구성에 대해 살펴보고, 2장에서는 먼저 식품안전성에 대한 국제적 동향을 살펴보고 미국, 영국, 일본, 중국 등 주요국들의 식품안전관리체계를 고찰한다. 3장에서는 우리나라 식품산업과 수입식품관리체계 현황과 문제점을 평가한다. 4장에서는 먼저 가설을 설정하고 설문조사의 결과를 토대로 이를 실증분석하고 검증하여 그 시사점을 도출한다. 그리고 5장에서는 지금까지의 논의를 바탕으로 수입식품안전성 제고를 위한 방안을 제시한다. 끝으로 6장에서는 요약 및 결론과 본 연구의 한계와 향후 연구과제를 제시한다.|We met with a new era of liberization of world trade, and therefore the importation of foreign food has increased rapidly every year. This study was designed to develop a National-based policy in order to increase the safety of imported foods and catching the current situation of imported food safety. There have been accomplished numerous researchers for the food, but few researchers for safety of imported food in view of consumers. This study used questionnaires to investigate the safety awareness for imported foods by 273 housewife in Kwangju-Chonnam. Accordingly, this study is to provide the basic data to the program educating cosumers by understanding the knowledge, the attitude and the purchasing behavior of consumers relative to safety of imported food. The process for researching safety of imported food comprises of classifying respondent to three groups according to their attitude about safety of imported food, and comparing the differences for their buying behavior, reliability on imported food, government, and demographic factors among groups. The results verifying the hypothesis set in this study are as follows; First, it is represented that the group regarding the safety of imported food as serous purchases domestic foods, and confirms thoroughly the representation of the place of origin. Second, it is represented that the group regarding the safety of imported food as serious has the low reliability about imported food, merchant, government, and others. Third, it is represented that the group regarding the safety of imported food as serious is educated about imported food contamination, and income are high. The food was imported through three stages: During the first stage food was cultivated and produced in exporting countries. In second stage Food was inspected in imported countries and during the final stage was distributed at domestic market in imported countries. We have many problem with imported food safety during each stage now. There are many precise examinations and low rate of disqualification than other countries. There are a result of unqualified manpower, uncontrolled importer, and ununified management system on distributed imported food. Therefore, the national-based policy most proceed as follows: First of all, during the first stage inspector are dispatched the exporting countries to collect dates on exported food and countries. During the second stage, Inspection manual was revised for decreasing a precise examination rate and increasing the disqualified rate like other countries. Also professional program have developed manpower to increase their specialty. In the last stage, the cold-chain system is perfectly built, the inspection on distributed food is strengthened for increasing safety of imported food, and further step up publicity activities on imported food safety. And the government has to prepare the thorough saintary system for imported food by providimg public information about food contamination via mass communication and others.
