The purpose of this study is to analyze structural and ecological characteristics of streams in rural village. The methods used in this study were measuring the section and surveying the vegetation of the stream at three points(upstream, inner village, downstream ) of 10 rural villages. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows : 1) The average width of streams is 9 m, and the height of banks 3.1 m. the downstreams are the widest(average 10 m), and the inner-villages are the narrowest (average 8 m), and the slopes of basin are 7.33 %, 2.67 %, 1.39 % at upstream, inner-village, downstream respectively. 2) The downstreams are more contaminated than upstreams due to the sewage from the residents, especially livestock wastewater. 3) The dominant species in the streams are Persicaria thunbergii H. Gross (average Cover 17.76 %) and cumulus japonicas Sieb et. Zucc (average Cover 7.75 % ). 4) The average area covered by vegetation is 53.31 % the downstreams are covered 65.7 %, but inner-village area covered by vegetation is 46.6 %. 5) The problem found in this study are severe water contamination, poor accessibility to stream and poor vegetation of inner-village area, etc.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the rural village model which is able to be applied to the rural village (re)development. The rural village model consists of five sector models land use model, residential unit model, public facilities allocation model, productive space arrangement model, road & green system model. The village model as a spatial structure needs modification/revision through the its application to various sites. The following are suggestions developed in the process of preparing a model for the Korean rural village. First, some indices presented in the land use model need to be further studied as the planning indices before implementing the rural village projects. Second, it is recomended that the image of a rural village needs to be created by developing the residential unit(6 households) as a planning development unit, And various residential unit models need to be suggested. Third, it is desirable to develop the double circulation system and green edge(1 m), and to introduce pedestrian road as much as possible for the amenity of the residential environment, Fourth, being located within walking distance from the existing village, new-introduced site should be developed as a interlinked and opened structure. The rural village model is useful in preparing the spatial structure for the village (re)development, and in finding the best design solution responsive to the conditions of a project site.

The main aim of this study is to propose the improvement guidelines for the rural communit;- facilities(short as RCFs) in the village level. 28 villages were selected in consideration of the travelling distance to the nearest city, farming types and percentage of farm to total land. Through the analyses of the physical conditions and utilizing practices of RCFs in case villages, the tentative improvement guidelines were finally formulated. The major results of the study were summarized as follows ' 1. Most villagers thought the village hall and Jungjamok(Korean-style outdoor rest point) being centrally located, which was reflected in their high satisfaction with the accessibility to RCFs.However, they evaluated that above two places were too small and old for normal use, so set forth their views of high dissatisfaction on the scale of RCFs, 2. Analyses results of the survey in the study showed the ranking order of service level of RCFs as following; the village hall l rest building for the aged 1 rural-pocket park 1 village store / playground.And the need for cultural function was much more highly expressed than merely meeting function. 3. Considering together with the analysis results of this study and the related referencing guidelines, it is proposed to introduce the village hall, shop, and village store as basic ones of RCFs in the village level, which should form a single complex connected mutually and functionally each other.

This study aims at analyzing of residents'attitudes and spatial structures in the rural villages reconstructed by the Rural Village Improvement Project(type A), and suggesting the guiding directions for planning rural villages. Six rural villages located in KyungGi province were selected for case study. The Major findings can be summarized as follows : 1) The ratio of type A project(newly planned village) in the total cases of the Rural Village Improvement Project has increased since 1990, In the majority(91.2%) of the type A project, the project area is below 2 ha and density of dwelling unit is below 40 households/ha. 2) The three spatial structures of newly planned rural village, i.e., Loop pattern, Cul-de-sac pattern, and Dendritic pattern, are identified. And the barns in the newly-build houses are categorized into the five types : the vertical addition type, the horizontal addition type, the vertical- horizontal addition type, the no- barn type, and the reused -barn type. 3) In the newly planned rural villages, the level of satisfactions for the quality of house and water & sewer system is remarkably higher than in the existing rural villages. These are the positive effects caused by the Rural Village Improvement Project. 4) The majority of the villagers think the improvement of the existing rural village, instead of redevelopment or newly planned village, is most desirable, which means the improvement of houses, roads, and sanitary facilities while preserving the spatial structures of the existing village.

The purpose of this study is to present the direction for scheme cultural rural village. For this purpose, to begin with, the major elements which can be applied to the theory were extracted by the study on the scheme of rural village, and the process and the outcome for renovation of rural village were presented by design proposal for the rural village in the exhibition space of yoonghari in Chungwon-kun, Chungchengpukdo. The study on the scheme of rural village is focused on the spatial organization, the futilities allocation, and the major contents of the case study are as follow : (1) To investigate the constrains and the opportunities of site development by the analysis and the synthesis of the site condition for the case study, (2) To study on the planning theory which can be applied to the site, (3) To establish the planning directions which can be introduced into the site and to choose the rmn model by the comparison and valuation of them, (4) To set up the Master Plan on the basis of the final model In spite of the fact that the method and the contents have a lot of problems, the significance of this study is to present a possibility to renovate the rural village these days, moreover to grope for the opportunities to propagate it

As a basic research for the reorganization of the rural villages and the enhancement of the rural residential environment this study intends to compare attitudes and perceptions of the residents in the planned districts(Munhwa-Maul) and the existing districts in the two rural villages, Wolam-1-Ri and Woohang-2-Ri The major fadings of this study can be summarized as follows 1) The three types of reorganization of the rural villages are identified . addition of the new residential site to existing village, development of a new village in a new site, redevelopment of existing village 2) The residents have low degrees of satisEaction at medical facilities, park and green spaces, public open spaces 3) The rates of residents who think their village territory include both the planned and the existing district is higher in the Woohang-2-Ri than in the Wolam-1-Ri 4) 57.6% of the farm householders in the two planned districts think the lot sizes are small, But the majority of the residents think the sizes of their houses are adequate. 5) A large number of residents show positive response to the development of the planned district 6) Since the majority of the residents(about 70%) in the two planned districts are not farm householders, new strategies need to be deveolped to induce more farm householders to the planned district.
