Abstract

The rural development administration started supplying equipment for convenience to the farm area since 2008 as part of the improving the farm work environment. A survey was conducted to the 286 farms in Gyungbuk province for analyzing the usage status and effectiveness of convenience equipment among 3,308 farms supplied until year 2011. From the survey, it was found that the average age of the convenience equipment user age is 56.9. The elderly as well as women farmers used the equipment for work, relieving the labor shortage. Reduced physical loads(posture, dealing with heavy objects, etc.) resulted in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Regarding the evaluation of equipment, 37% experienced equipment problems, inconvenience in operating and manipulating the equipment, and other issues regarding human body size, noise and vibration. 56% of the users were satisfied. There is a need for research in the areas of part reliability, usability, and in manufacturing better equipment for convenience.
