본 연구는 중국 운남성 라평현 명가촌(中國雲南羅平縣明格村）대상지로 명가촌의 생태보전 및 지역발전 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있다. 운남성 라평현의 독특한 계단식 밭 경관(梯田景觀)은 중국의 중요한 농업문화유산이고 매우 높은 보존 가치를 가지고 있다. 운남성 라평현 면가촌에서 살고 있는 포의족(布依族)은 중국의 소수 민족에 속하며, 그 민족의 전통문화와 풍습은 중국의 중요한 무형문화유산으로 보전가치 크다. 중국은 고대부터 다민족 국가였다. 수천 년 간 다른 민족문화와 지역문화가 서로 융합되어 상호 영향력이 중국의 전통문화를 형성했다. 소수 민족의 전통문화는 중국 민족의 전통 문화에서 중요한 부분이다. 운남성 포의족(布依族）은 독특한 의상, 음식, 건축, 무용, 공예 문화를 가지고 있지만 현대문명의 통일화에 따라서 운남 포의족 전통문화가 점차 사라지고 있다. 중국 독특한 소수 민족 문화가 시간에 흐르면서 잊혀지고 없어지는 것은 세계 문화사에 커다란 동정이다. 그래서 포의족 문화의 전승과 보전에 대한 내용도 핵심 내용이다. 현재 명가촌의 농촌마을계획은 장기간 단일화 발전 모델로 이 지역의 보전가치가 큰 계단식 밭경관과 포의족(布依族)의 문화에 대한 고려가 미비하여 점차 사라지고 있다. 본 연구는 명가촌의 경관보전 및 지역발전을 목적으로 연구를 진행하고 있다. 연구내용은 명가촌의 생태마을설계와 무형문화유산의 보전을 기반으로 지역 발전의 활성화 계획을 다루고자 한다. 첫째, 명가촌 생태마을설계에 대한 내용이다. 우선 기존의 농촌마을계획을 진단하였다. 생태마을설계 방향은 자연생태환경과 포의족 전통건축 복원 및 계단식 밭의 보전이다. 둘째, 마을의 무형문화유산 보전방안이다. 농업문화유산은 현대 농업 발전에 중요한 영향을 미치는 매우 중요한 가치를 지니고 있다. 그러나 과학 기술이 꾸준히 발전함에 따라 수천 년 동안 지속되어 온 전통적인 농업은 사라질 위기에 있다. 명가촌 계단식 경작지의 경제적 가치, 생태적 가치, 미학적 가치, 문화적 가치, 과학적 연구 가치 및 사회적 가치와 같은 여러 가치를 가지고 있다. 반면, 면가촌 전통적인 농법은 단지 1차 산업에 국한되어 있고, 계단식 경작지는 경사가 급하고 협소한 폭으로 기계경작이 어려워 농민의 소득과 생활수준을 제한하고 있다. 그런데 이러한 제한요소는 오히려 녹색농업, 유기농업 및 생태농업을 활성화 시킬 수 있는 기회요소가 되고 있다. 계단식 경작지와 연계한 생태관광의 개발을 장려하고, 다자간 경제 보상을 통한 유기농업과 특색 있는 농업을 촉진한다면 지속가능한 발전이 가능하다고 판단된다. 셋째, 명가촌 Permaculture 및 생태관광 모행 도입이다. 1). 전통적 단일농업 → 다양한 산업구조 퍼머컬쳐로 전환(유채 재배업, 유채씨 기름 가공업, 양봉업, 유기농산물 판매 산업) 2). 생태관광 개발 (포의족 전통문화 홍보, 지역수익증가, 생태경관보전)

The present study analyzes a case of a rural village development project to identify characteristics of rural landscape plans. The results of the analysis revealed that in the initial stage, rural landscape plans focused on renovating the livingscape, which included walls, vacant houses, and roofs. Beginning in 2010, landscape improvement projects were divided into areas such as the livingscape, and the village landscape, which included the natural landscape, ecological environment, and urban landscape, and planned to preserve the agricultural landscape and enhance under-developed landscapes. According to an analysis of the Sunchang-gun (a county in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea) area development project, the landscape improvement project was planned as a way of formation a new landscape. This indicates that the project was more focused on creating a new specialized landscape consisting of different areas, than it was on improving and maintaining the existing landscape. The livingscape, among all other components of the rural landscape, was addressed the most frequently by landscape projects, which placed emphasis on improving the landscape of the living environment, not the overall landscape of rural villages. Landscape improvement projects implemented tasks to highlight distinctive characteristics of the target area. For instance, the creation of a themed rest area or characteristic streetscape were treated with importance in all areas. However, landscape projects do not significantly contribute to shaping the overall rural landscape, as they focus on separate facilities instead of considering the overall rural landscape. Given that landscape projects constitute the only landscape-related effort in an area or village, they should be more heavily emphasized in rural village development projects.

대리만족권역은 2012년 농림축산식품부의 권역단위 종합정비사업계획 수립의 시범지역이며 즐거운 교육을 품은 건강한 마을 만들기의 목표를 가지고 기능별 공간구상을 중심으로 계획되었다. 권역은 대리와 호암리이며 쌀, 고구마, 고추, 율무 등이 산업의 중심을 형성하고 있다. 기본적인 공간개발의 방향은 도농교류, 교육과 문화체험을 위한 시설을 배치하여 교육을 품은 건강한 마을만들기를 주축으로 하고 있다. 주요 내용으로 기초생활기반은 도농교류센터와 독거노인 공동홈조성, 지역소득증대는 농산물 저장고와 농촌유학센터, 지역경관개선은 진입로 개선, 안내판 설치, 쉼터조성, 둘레길 조성 등이 계획되어 있다. 이러한 기능별 공간구상은 지역주민들에게 삶의 질을 높여줌과 동시에 지역자원을 활용할 경우 지역경제가 활성화될 것으로 판단된다.

한국의 종합적인 농촌개발모델로 알려진 새마을운동은 한국의 국가경제 및 농촌지역사회 발전의 토대가 되었고 최근 들어 많은 개도국으로부터 성공모델로써 인정받고 있다. 최근 에디오피아도 한국의 발전경험과 유사한 변혁을 이루고자 노력하고 있다. 1990년대 초반 이후 에디오피아 정부는다양한 전략적인 개발정책을 통해 농업 및 농촌개발을 최우선순위로 실행하여왔다. 지난 10여년간 에디오피아의 농촌개발은 많은 진전이 있었지만, 초기 목표로 하였던 수준은 달성하지 못하였다. 이에 따라 에디오피아에서는 새마을운동과 같은성공적인 농촌개발모형으로부터 교훈을 얻고자 하는 노력이커지고 있다. 본고에서는 농촌개발 접근방식으로서 새마을운동의 성공요인들을 에디오피아의 현재의 농촌개발과 비교하여 검증하고자한다. 1970년대 한국의 새마을운동의 경험과 현재의 에디오피아 농촌개발정책을 비교시 농업·농촌개발정책의 틀은 매우유사한 것으로 평가된다. 반면, 농촌개발현장에서의 실패사례는새마을운동의 정신을 에디오피아 농촌개발시책으로 적용시 좀더 다각적이고 세심하게 고려해야 한다는 시사점을 주고 있다. 특히 본고에서는 새마을운동의 주요 성공요인으로써 농지개혁과 농촌주민의 사회적연대, 강력한 제도개선과 정부의 리더쉽, 그리고 전방위적인 정책지원, 대상마을에 대한 인센티브시책 및 마을간 경쟁유도 등을 들고 있다. 이러한 요소들이에디오피아에 농촌개발전략으로써 종합적이고 유기적으로 실행된다면 한국의 새마을운동과 같은 결과를 도출할 수 있을것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 농촌지역 발전 및 주민의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 추진된 정부의 다양한 정책 및 사업의 성과를 분석하기 위해 현재 추진 중에 있는 농촌지역개발사업 중 대표성이 있다고 판단되는 농촌마을종합개발사업을 분석대상 사업으로 선정하였다. 분석을 위해 경남 2개 권역과 전남 2개 권역을 사례연구대상권역으로 선정하였다. 사업에 대한 만족도 분석결과, 전체적으로 사업추진에 있어서 각 지역유형별로 명확한 구분을 통해 만족도를 분석하는 것은 상당한 어려움이 있으나, 전반적으로 지역특성별(농촌지역, 중산간지역)로 주민들의 사업에 대한 이해 및 추진과정에서의 만족도 등은 다소 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 전반적으로 농촌지역 2개 권역 주민들이 중산간지역 2개 권역 주민들에 비해 상대적으로 사업 추진 전반에 대해 부정적인 의견을 많이 표출하였다. 향후 원활한 사업추진을 위해서는 주민들의 사업에 대한 이해, 서로 돕고 협력하는 마을 공동체 의식의 복원, 바람직한 리더 육성, 실효성 있는 마을 규약 마련, 개방적·포용적 자세로의 전환과 농촌마을종합개발사업 추진 및 운영방법의 현실화가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 충남 예산군 오가면 오촌리(1,2리)를 대상으로 하는 옹기체험 농촌체험마을 계획에 관한 것이다. 한민족의 정서와 품성을 잘 나타내고 있는 우리의 고유한 민족문화 유산 중에서 대표적인 것으로 옹기를 꼽을 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 1970년대이후에는 플라스틱이나 스테인레스 등의 새로운 대체 용기가 개발․보급되는 한편, 급격히 주거 및 식생활 문화가 변화되면서점차 쇠락의 일로에 있는 형편이다. 대상지의 경우 현재 농촌의 낙후된 각종 시설과 노령화로 인해 마을의 인구가 점점감소하고 있어 마을주거환경개선 및 관광자원의 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 관광형태의 변화로 체험형 관광프로그램이늘고 있는 추세로 옹기를 주제로 한 체험 농촌마을을 계획하였다. 오촌리의 차별성 있는 농촌관광자원인 전통옹기를 이용하여테마형 농촌마을을 조성하고, 옹기를 이용한 참여형 프로그램을 개발하여 주민 소득증대에 기여하도록 계획하였다. 또한마을 주거환경 및 경관정비를 통하여 삶의 질이 높은 농촌마을로 계획을 하였다. 주요 계획내용으로는 에너지 자립형 농촌마을조성을 위하여 태양광을 도입하였으며, 축산분뇨 재처리시스템, 옹기체험센터, 도예 동호인 전원마을 등을 조성하여 특색 있는 테마마을로 계획하였다. 또한 마을 역사자원을 이용한 역사잇기 계획과 오촌리 유래찾기를 통하여 오촌리 마을의 전통성계승 및 홍보계획도 하였다. 이와 같은 오촌리가 옹기를 이용한 농촌체험마을 계획을 통해 주민들의 농외소득의 증대와정주환경개선, 관광농촌마을로서의 역할을 할 수 것이라 기대된다.

To analyze main factors of size planning of community facilities that were created as part of development of a rural area, the present condition of factors deciding size of community facilities was analyzed, factors that influence size planning by the type of community facility were drawn with Delphi anaysis. The results of analyzing the present condition of size planning factors of community facilities show that facilities have been generally planned as multi-purpose and multi-functional facilities. And on the basis of the purpose of facilities, their functions and organization, and their operation programs, facilities are classified into community-centered, agritourism-centered, and combined ones. Using Delphi analysis, major factors that could affect size planning of community facilities were drawn on 26 community-centered, 28 agritourism-centered, and 30 combined. And the factors tended not to be applied well for size planning of community facilities.

After it was reorganized as the rural center revitalization project recently, there is an opinion that the nature of the project was changed to solve long-time aspired projects of some districts unlike various projects according to the previous project purposes. Therefore, this study analyzes the current status of revitalization project plans and operation monitoring to make rural center villages, establishes plans that can be applied to the rural center village revitalization project and suggests the improvement plans for monitoring. With the necessity of connectivity with centrality analysis for long-term and sustainable growth of the rural center revitalization project, the analysis on the 8 districts' centrality analysis and the function of the master plan were compared and analyzed, but there is not enough interrelation. Regarding the consulting methods for weak districts to activate facility operation after the project is implemented, the field consulting performed by the collaboration of Gyeongsangnam-do government, Gyeongnam Rural Revitalization Support Center and Gyeongnam branch of Korea Rural Community Corporation shows 87.6% of satisfaction level, which indicates it is the most effective. Based on the above results, it is necessary to reinforce the methods on resident demand survey, dimension and the reflection process of the project when preliminary plans are established for effective implementation of the rural center village revitalization project. It is also necessary to revise relevant standards not to change preliminary plans excessively during the master plan establishment process, and to oblige preliminary investigation of experts. The joint monitoring and consulting systems of experts and local governments should be applied from the establishment stage of the master plan, so that it can be sustainable rural center village revitalization project.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a rural development project utilized Participatory Rural Appraisal(PRA), which has been widely developed and applied as an approach and methods for participatory rural development since 1990’s. In the ODA project titled as “Happiness Program”, a comprehensive community development program designed and conducted by KOICA for underprivileged ethnic minorities in Lao Cai province, Vietnam, the villagers were able to analyse the realities of their situations, to plan, to act, and to monitor and evaluate their actions for improvement through all the processes of PRA utilization. Apart from the successful implementation of participatory rural development activities, this project also made a contribution to extending our knowledge about PRA by presenting the monitoring and evaluation system built for the project and the impact analyzed by the system such as increase in villagers’ annual income, expansion of infrastructure, capacity development and etc.

This paper proposes a village level settlement environment diagnostic indices in rural areas which can apply to analyze various conditions at village level. A living space in rural areas has been changed with a diverse aspect according to living infrastructure, industrial structure, accessibility to neighbor city and so on. This indicators considered these mega-regionalization of economy and lifestyle in rural areas. The indicators consists of basic indices for all types villages and convenience service indices for center villages and the other neighbor ones classified by a functionality of their convenience facilities. As the results of delphi expert survey and a field validation, rural village settlement environment diagnostic indicators were selected 3 types, 15 domains, 24 subdomains and 61 items. And these indicators weight were determinted by AHP method. These developed indicators were used to diagnosis settlement conditions of 31 villages, located on county of Yeongdong. to validate a applicability and feasibility.

The purpose of this study is to construct a quantitative evaluation method that can analyze the policy effectiveness with the construction of a implicit composite index incorporating spatial econometrics models. In order to propose a methodological framework for the program evaluation, this study conducts an empirical analysis with the application of the Comprehensive Rural Village Development Project (CRVDP) which explicitly claims to achieve comprehensive goal of community development. The present study pays particular attention to quantifying the composite evaluation index and drawing net effect through the application of a series of spatial econometrics models. The spatial unit of the analysis is drawn at Eup-Myeon level in rural areas in Korea, and the time horizon is in between 2005 and 2010. We utilize the Korean Agricultural Census data in 2005 and 2010. Three steps of methodological processes are needed to satisfy the objective of the present study. First, we apply factor analysis to construct the composite index that represents comprehensive settlement environment in rural area. The index should be matched with the main objective of the CRVDP. Second, we apply the derived index to a series of spatial econometrics model as dependent variable. Lastly, utilizing the estimated coefficients of the econometrics models, we apply decomposition technique to estimate CRVDP’s net effect from both cross-sectional and longitudinal perspectives. We find that the results of the decomposition analysis by the execution of the CRVDP are positively associated with the explicit object of the project.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the village project for conservation and improvement of rural tourism village. So, in this study, the current rural tourism village and storytelling planning are examined and the village project presented in village planning is also examined. And this study propose the storytelling implementation of the village project through the case study related with the Susanri in Jeju. The results are summarized as follows. Firstly, it is important that each village projects are storytelling for tourism resource and improve rural tourism village. Secondly, it is necessary to define story range, action planning, and management agency of village projects. Thirdly, it is desirable that the village projects should be carried out as reviving the local community. Comparing to the storytelling tourism plan, there are few rural tourism plans so far, so, it is difficult to applicate the system of the village project, but, continuous studies in this line can help the rural tourism plan to ensure practicality.

The purpose of this study is to understand the master plan of “The project on a comprehensive village development with a unit of a based township” through the master plan analysis and to help understand the implications of this project in order to maintain rural villages that can make local residents satisfied with them and promote the project of comprehensive rural village development as a successful way based on a comparative analysis through the in-site survey. The processes of this study are as follows. First, the analysis of development planning created a drawing based on linking business strategy by each region. The current situation and characteristics of planned public spaces were analyzed through the analysis of location and distribution of public spaces and facilities. Second, the situation analysis was performed by the task of shooting based on the basic plan information, and the master plan and status were confirmed through interviews. Also, the analysis of location and distribution of public spaces and facilities was conducted by a created drawings based on a survey. Finally, the detailed information of public spaces and facilities was compared with the investigation by in-site survey and analyzed through the Master Plan Strategy and a detailed classification of the types of facilities among each regional issues. In addition, by overlapping the planned drawings with the results, the results of formations were confirmed and the planned positional changes and the distribution of facilities were analyzed. As the results of “The project of comprehensive village development with a unit of based township”, it was determined that there were many issues on cultural and welfare facilities in this project to meet the business objectives. Also, the facilities the residents needed, identified by interviews, were rural tourism facilities. According to the results, the residents cherished rural tourism facilities as much as basic living facilities. However, as the results of comparative analysis of public spaces and facilities, it was confirmed that mostly the plan was unfulfilled. Therefore, it is concluded that living, cultural and welfare facilities in the township can be maintained and expanded comprehensively as a purpose of “The project of comprehensive village development with a unit of based township” after not only planning process but also the project is fulfilled actually in rural areas.

This study aims to assess Green-Tourism accessibility of Rural Experience Village and then prepare improvement methods. To do this study, we surveyed 25 operators of Rural Experience Village in Chungbuk. We used 21 issues in all for analysis and the following shows a summary of major results. Rural Experience Village has a generally hard time conducting facility maintenance. Countermeasures for maintenance are required to run smoothly. Since Rural Experience Village has difficulty attracting visitors to the village, countermeasures are needed to attract visitors through business promotion. The results of assessing Green- Tourism accessibility showed us that some villages are a lot more accessible than others. Therefore, it is necessary that there should be improvements of Green -Tourism accessibility by attracting visitors and increasing operating days so that Green-tourism accessibility can be enhanced. In spite of its high level of accessibility since Rural Experience Village belonging to Goesan has low profitability, it is especially imperative that we establish more positive project promotion to cover it.

The comprehensive rural village development projects (CRVDP) have been carried out as the core one of the rural development schemes in Korea since 2004. CRVDP included the various rural experience programs to increase rural income and in order to promote rural community development in the project area. This study analyzed the operating management conditions, types and characteristics of the rural experience programs targeting the 168 CRVDPs have been completed so that the recommendations and lessons which were found the usefulness, challenges and improvements to the CRVDP can be provided to be better the same kinds of rural development projects. We identified the relationships between performances such as increasing village income and utilization of rural amenity resources to the CRVDP and operational management types of the rural experience programs as well. Employing principle component analysis and cluster analysis technique, this study found 5 clusters of rural experience programs among 168 CRVDPs. The results of analysis of variance indicated that there were significant the mean differences between clusters such as the utilization of rural amenity resources(0.01), income of rural experience programs(0.1). According to the result of the Chi-squire test, there was very significant differences between internet homepage operation and clusters(0.01). Finally, the analysis of covariance about the income of rural experience programs showed that there were significant the mean differences between clusters(0.05).

In this study, the relative importance for the perception of managers on the comprehensive rural village development projects was evaluated using the AHP method. The fields for evaluation were 4 fields including human relationships, working conditions, work compensation and work burnout. Also, the relative importance for the perception of managers and priority order were analyzed through 15 evaluation items. The analysis result shows that the human relationships among 4 fields were regarded as the most important field, followed by work compensation, working conditions and work burnout. Also, the relationship with the chairperson for the human relationships, continuity of employment for the working conditions, salary for work compensation, and mental stress for work burnout were considered respectively as the most important item. Also, salary among all evaluation items was considered as the most important item for the relative importance, followed by continuity of employment, relationship with village residents and mental stress. However, work load, consulting firms, impersonal treatment and the relations between the administration showed relatively low importance and priority order. It is considered that this analysis result will be used as important preliminary data for establishing the role of manager in the comprehensive rural village development project.

농촌지역은 주민의 대부분이 농업을 생산하는 지역으로 최근 이촌향도현상, 도시화 등 사회·환경변화로 인해 농촌인구의 고령화가 심화되고 있으며, 도시지역과 달리 재난 발생 시 자체적인 예방, 대비, 대응, 복구 등의 재난관리 체계가 도시에 비해 효율적으로 구축되었다고 보기가 어려워 재난으로 인해 많은 피해가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 농촌지역은 대부분이 반복된 형식의 유사재난이 다수를 차지하고 있으며 특히 태풍, 집중호우로 인해 농작물 피해는 매년 발생하고 있다. 또한 농촌지역의 지리적 특성상 고립되거나 산악지역과 함께 어우러져 있는 경우는 화재(산불)나 기타 재난발생 시 의료·응급 및 소방기관이 내부로 신속하게 접근하여 대응하는데 많은 시간이 소요되어 초기대응이 어렵고 자체적으로는 재난안전 인프라가 부족하여 재난대응에 미흡한 부분이 존재하고 있다. 그리고 최근 소방서 건물만 남아 있고 근무 인력이 없는 ‘폐쇄 지역대’는 전국에 189곳이었으며 경북에서 63곳, 충남과 전남에서 각각 51곳과 37곳이 폐쇄되는 등 농촌지역의 소방서 지역대가 줄어들고 있는 실정이다. 이는 도시지역에 비해 농촌지역이 상당히 재난관리적 측면이 부족한 것을 알 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 농촌지역의 재난안전마을 구축을 위해 농촌지역 재난안전마을 개념을 정립하고 농촌지역에 재난유형별로 발생현황을 조사하여 농촌지역 재난특성을 알아보았다. 이를 바탕으로 농촌지역 특성에 맞는 재난안전대책을 제시하였다.

This, an association research for design-improvement and model-development of exhibition shops at rural tourism communities, is to secure objective data by analyzing customers' awareness-tendency of and demand for agricultural-specialty exhibition shops. Survey-questions for finding out consumers' awareness-tendency and demand were determined through brainstorming of a professional council, 30 rural communities of which visit-rate by consumers is considerably high were selected for the recruit of 200 consumers. For investigation and analysis, survey and in-depth interview were carried out at the scene with the application of frequency analysis and summarization of their opinions, which revealed that they have a strong will to visit the rural tourism communities for the purchase of agricultural specialties along with the experience of learning-program and on-the-scene direct dealing and that their viewpoint on the direct dealing at the scene was very positive. Also it was confirmed hat their satisfaction with the purchase of agricultural specialties by on-the-scene direct dealing, their pleasure at the purchase, their satisfaction with services and their intention for re-purchase of them were very high while their satisfaction with the exhibition shops was very low. With on-the-scene survey, the consumers' opinions could be listened to in depth. Almost all of them said their satisfaction with the trip to those rural tourism communities was considerably high since they could go to those communities themselves to relieve the stress from their modern life, to experience healing and to see the goods on the scene. Their satisfaction also was attributed to the fact that they have enough trust in purchase along with feeling the warm-heartedness of rural residents. As to their awareness of exhibition shops, they showed a positive response to the on-the-scene direct dealing at rural communities while they, thinking that the space in those exhibition shops was not sufficiently wide, demanded for more systematic counters in more accessible and affordable exhibition shops so that they might be more satisfied with the exhibition shops. Their demand for the necessity of exhibition shops selling agricultural specialties was found to be over 80%, which indicates that the necessity is very high. As to the suitability of function, they have the opinion that the business at those shops had better be focused on sales since they have the understanding of information when they take a trip to the rural communities, while there was another opinion: since agricultural products are seasonal items they should be exhibited and sold at the same time. More than 90% of the respondents had a positive viewpoint on direct dealing of agricultural specialties on the scene, which showed that their response to it was very high. They preferred the permanent shops equipped with roll-around table-booths. In addition, it was revealed that they want systematic exhibition shops in rural communities because they frequent those communities for on-the-scene direct purchase. The preferred type and opinion resulting from estimation of consumers' demands have been reflected for development of practical designs. The structure of variable principles has been designed so that the types of display-case and table-booth might be created. The result of this study is a positive data as a design model which can be utilized at rural communities and will be commercialized for the verification of its validity.

This study investigated the problem of the existing rural development plan where the opinions of local residents are excluded due to the lack of expert knowledge and limited participation and sought the village development plan driven by the voluntary participation of local residents by applying a rural forum targeting rural villages to solve the problem. As a result of the study, (1) the problem of the current village development plan should be made based on the participation of local residents, and (2) this problem has remained as an important challenge. Therefore, the village improvement activities that have reflected the opinions of local residents can be said to be (3) the process that seeks the change into the rural planning process led by local residents, and this study derived the ways to ensure the voluntary behavior of local residents, strengthen local residents' capacity to create on-going villages, and expand local residents' participation opportunities in the entire process of rural planning through the application of the rural forum. (4) Although it is generally difficult for local residents to propose opinions directly and exert influence in the rural planning and design process and it is not easy to reduce the difference in the perspective between the professionals and local residents, significance lies in the fact that local residents voluntarily determine the future of their region and derive the plan. Therefore, the experience of decision-making and consensus process through the rural forum can promote the sustainability of the village creation participated by local residents and the increase of local residents' role. This study took one village as an example to reflect the results applied to the rural forum, and it is difficult to determine that it has been fully verified with the method of residents' participation. Therefore, future studies to verify the effectiveness of village creation and seek the empirical utilization measures are needed more, and the operation of education programs and various support plans suitable to the capacity and level of local residents should be promoted rather than the traditional lecture-style stereotyped education in the future for sustainable rural development.

This study aimed at setting up the grading indicator standards on development stages for phasing the continuous development process. To achieve the objective of this study, after referring to the proposed cases derived from the reference analysis, the development stages were classified. Also grading criteria of indicators according to development stages were established through the statistical analysis and expert group checking. Development stages of rural village were stepped into 4-stages through the reviews and analysis of reference literature ; preparation-entry-development-advanced stage. Reasonable achievement level of each development stage was established by considering the necessary development period and benchmarking reference target together. On the basis of these clear stepwise development phases, the grading criteria were proposed for determination of the incumbent development stages.
