도시화 압력이 심화되면서 전통마을의 축적된 고유의 주거건축 기법과 관련된 경험, 방법, 창조적 지 혜, 그리고 건전한 삶의 방식도 함께 쇠퇴하고 있음은 매우 안타까운 현상이다. 본 연구는 중국 주하이 시 탕자완(唐家灣)지역의 전통마을 생활환경을 개선하고 마을 지역의 저탄소 운영을 실현하기 위한 ‘향촌진흥 전략’의 촉진을 목표로 한다. 영남(嶺南) 민가 주거용 건물의 기후 적응성에 주목하여 통풍과 단열 개선 그리고 태풍 위협에 대한 저감기법을 중심으로 개선방안을 제안한다. 이를 실현하기 위해 본 연구에서는 VIRVIL과 HTB2 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 분석기법을 결합하여 3개 민가 유형별 기후 적응공 간 개선방법을 논의함으로써 전통마을 주거환경의 구조적 변화와 에너지 소비 증가로 인한 주거환경 의 쾌적성을 극대화하기 위한 기술 및 운영개념을 제시하였다. 전통마을의 패턴과 건축 디자인 방안을 모색한 본 연구가 향후 전통마을의 생태기능을 유지하면서도 지속가능한 발전을 도모하는 데 유효한 공간 형태별 기후적응성을 실현하기 위한 기초자료로써 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 수도권 인근의 전통마을을 대상으로 해당 지역을 풍수적으로 해 석하고, 풍수적 결점을 보완하기 위한 각종의 비보물의 존재형태와 기능분석 으로 전통마을의 전개⋅발전되었음을 논증하는데 있다. 연구 사례지 는 총 15 개 마을이며 문헌조사와 현장조사를 동시에 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다 음과 같다. 첫째, 양평지역은 조산, 정자, 숲을 통한 비보가 있었는데 흉상차 폐 및 지맥연장, 수구막이 숲 등이 존재하였다. 양평지역은 한강 및 흑천 등 이 흐르고 마을은 하천변에 위치하고 있는데, 주로 하천의 풍수적 문제를 해 결하기 위한 비보 물이었다. 둘째, 용인지역은 산세가 수려한 지역이다. 비보의 형태는 주로 수구막이 숲이 대부분이었고, 지맥연장비보 및 돌(石)비보의 형태가 존재하였다. 용인지역은 중부내륙에서 볼 수 있는 산간 지역 적에서 발생할 수 있는 풍수적 문제를 해결하기 위한 비보 물이었다. 셋째, 이천지역은 남한강으로 합류하는 하천이 대부분이고, 마을은 대부분 평야지역에 위치하고 있다. 평야지역이라 하더라도 대부분 하천을 끼고 있고 있음으로 인해, 평야지역과 하천지역에서 발생할 수 있는 풍수적 문제를 해결하기 위한 비보 물 이었다. 본 연구 대상지에서 가장 많은 비보형태는 수구막이 숲이었고, 다음으로 지맥연장, 조산비보 등이 있었다. 또한, 돌을 매개로 한 비보형태도 발견되었다. 가장 많은 비중을 차지하는 비보 숲은 기후조절효과, 휴양효과⋅ 마을 구 성원들의 위한 화합장소로서의 효과 등이 나타나, 이들 숲을 비롯한 비보 물들이 전통마을의 지리적⋅지형적으로 전개, 발전된 것으로 의미하는 것이다.

In Korea, the direction of houses are typically determined by considering the directional orientation and shape of the mountain range rather than ignoring the geographical feature of the mountain range. Traditional villages of Korea are known to have very particular ways of adopting the geomantic surroundings of natural environment. This is very true especially in decision of the directional orientation of the houses in the village. Almost all houses have a high mountain in the back and a lower mountain in front. At the same time, most of the houses tend to prefer south as a main direction so that they can receive more sun light. However, if the mountain range faces north, it will not be easy to determine the directional orientation of houses. This paper, therefore, tries to identify how the houses of villages facing north, direct the orientation. This, the northern village, solves the problem by facing all direction rather than one major direction. The houses of the villages facing north, tend to revise the direction by changing the back mountain(주산) or front mountain(안산) that helps them change the direction towards the range of eastern or western direction. As a result, the houses tend to the direction towards east and west compared to north and south. The directional orientation of houses was clearly distributed or concentrated by depending on the shape and directional orientation of the mountain range. This kind of research let us know the relationship between the natural north direction, the direction of geomantic surrounding, and the direction of houses in traditional Korean villages.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a very important role in developing countries. In Vietnam, SMEs operating in the field of handicrafts, besides contributing to the economy, also tasked to maintain and develop traditional handicrafts. However, accessing loans from banks of SMEs faces many difficulties. This study explores the determinants of bank lending decision for SMEs, particular, in traditional handicrafts business. Using dataset based on a survey conducted in Binh Duong province, Vietnam, we investigated to what determinant effects for loan approval. The analytical methods used include descriptive statistics for overall assessment, principal component analysis and regression to examine determinants of lending decisions. The results indicate that company’s collateral was the most positive determinant to bank lending decision, follow by company’s business plan. The role of company’s leader is very important for banks considers to approve credit because company’s leaders experience and relationship with stakeholders as well as banks have positive relations with bank’s lending decision. Agreed with previous studies, the company’s financial statement and company’s credit history with banks are also significant determinants for lending decision. Whereas, the business environment seam unaffected lending decision as their relations is not significant..

As government and local governments are working on the various project about rural experience tourism village in these days, many rural villages are planned and developed, and try to come up to visitor’s demand. Not only quantitative growth by village development but also importance of programs operated by the rural villages are emphasized, therefore it needs to compare and analyze the activity programs about rural experience tourism village in rural community building business by season, characteristics of villages, and overall. Moreover, it has to try to suggest a basic direction of improvement about rural community building business. The site of researches are 15 villages that include 5 green rural tourism villages, 5 rural traditional theme villages, and 5 unique villages that are recent project. The result of research is that similar projects are operated and hard to find characteristic of seasonal programs in existing management business. On the other hand, the programs of recent management business operates not only the former program but also big and activity program using the village’s resources and characteristic.

This study investigated the elements of soundscape in and around the traditional Korean style housing complex and the standardized Korean style housing complex popularized as farm village by Traditional Korean style housing assistance policy located in the rural area of Jeollanam-do. The purpose of this study is to understand the phenomenon and characteristic differences of the sound environments in various observation points in order to utilize them as the important elements of sound scape to consider for standardized Korean style housing complex development in the future. As a result, the traditional housing in rural area led more positive evaluation of nature sounds than standardized, newly developed Korean style housing complex. In the list of noises in each residential development type, traffic sounds and construction noise were majorly ranked. However, nature sounds had high rate of response in the sounds of introduction request. Additionally, the sounds generated by human activities such as whispering and footsteps were also in the wish list. This may suggests that soundscape design needs to approach in cultural level of a society rather than simple investigation and treatment of individual sounds of natural and artificial.

The purpose of this study is to propose the principle of rural village planning process based on rural resources, differently space planning process(regional planning, village planning, urban planning etc). The importance of this planning process is resources planning, facility planning, program planning. So we planed rural villages - two rural traditional theme villages. The major findings of this planning were as follows; First, we have to consider economic value of rural resources. Second, resources were used differently, according to village conditions, though same it. It is important to apply value-added it. Third, in future we have to additional studies; environment planning factor, community participation, resources evaluation in this planning.
