This study explored factors that affect the risk of excluding the support due to recidivism of the recipients within the support period of the housing support projects among the rehabilitation protection projects of the Korea Rehabilitation Agency. The subjects of this analysis were released prisoners who applied and supported by the project from 2005 to September 2009. Continuous survival analysis was used to supplement the limitations of existing logistic regression analysis for the loss of information about the duration of an event (recidivism). The summary of the analysis results is as follows. First, 2.76 % of all recipients of the housing support projects were excluded because of recidivism within the support period. On a three-month basis of analysis, the risk ratio was the highest at 0.0046 (0.46 out of 100) over 7-9 months period. In addition, the cumulative risk ratio of the entire period showed that if the recidivism is not committed for over six years after the start of the support, the likelihood of excluding the support in the future is quite low. Next, the results of the cox regression analysis affecting the risk of exclusion of support due to recidivism showed that health conditions, number of convictions, and the type of committed crime had statistically significant effects. Specifically, those who are in good health, have two or more criminal records, or have a history of village affairs, were found to have increased risk of excluding the support compared to those who are not. Finally, the interpretation of the above results and policy implications were discussed in conclusions and suggestions.

In rural areas, in spite of the development projects of town and houses has been performed after the New Community Movement, due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, which lasted until the 2000s from the 1980s, out-migration to the cities, changes in the industrial structure, rapid aging was carried. As a result, the gap of housing environment between urban and rural areas became more serious. The meantime, the housing problem is recognized only to the problems of the big cities, mostly urban public housing policy oriented. However, when you check the indicator of the housing environment, such as the percentage of aging housing, rural environment has become a relatively poor compared to the city. In addition, due to a decrease in income and aging of the population living in rural areas of existing infrastructure to improve the living environment is weakened. And inside of the rural areas, changes in the housing environment and polarization phenomenon is becoming increasingly serious. Therefore, in this study, there is a purpose to be presented the improvement direction for efficient implementation of house remodeling support program for underprivileged group in rural areas and requires immediate attention improvement of housing environment. Previously, House remodeling support project in rural areas was carried out at the initiative of local governments and government mainly. For this reason, it is difficult due to limited institutional, to reflect the necessary parts directly to the real life of the residents. And, the demand for improvement of housing environment need modifications to solve the inconvenience of life of residents directly in many cases. It is considered that community-based house remodeling support project is to be carried out through the participation of local residents.
