마을 만들기는 주민이 자발적으로 문제를 해결해 나가는 과정을 통해, 공감대가 형성되어 나간다는 점에서 주민자치가 실현되는 공간이고 주민 공론의 장이자 생활의 질 개선과 공공성과 공동체의식의 회복과 확장을 위한 사회학적 상상력이 요구되는 공동체 사업이다. 한국사회는 급 발전 산업화와 새로운 자유주의 세계화에 따라 1인 가구 증가와 핵가족화, 공동주택의 거주와 잦은 이주에 따라 개인주의가 팽배해지고 개인의 관계도 소월해지고 그로 인해 마을주민들 간의 상호교류 및 소통이 끊어지고 차단된 고독한 시대를 살아가고 있으며, 모두의 관심사와 유대감을 상실하여 전통적 마을공동체가 붕괴하고 있다. 이러한 시대흐름 속에서 마을공동체 만들기에 대한 성찰적 활용이 다양한 시민단체와 광역 및 기초 자치단체에서 주민과 정부가 협력하여 마을공동체 만들기가 적극적으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마을공동체 만들기에 대한 관련 문헌을 분석하고 실제사례를 정리한 후 이에 따른 효과를 주민만족도와 시민의식을 선정하고 지속적 가능한 주민참여 마을 만들기에 대한 문제점과 개선방안을 모색하는 것이 본 연구의 주된 목적이다.

Furthermore, community resource building is an important independent program from the main program which is to be conducted at the correctional centers. The model of community resource building developed in this study needs to be applied at the correctional institutions to make up for the weak points.
