Abstract
This study aims to apply the logic model in order to evaluate outcomes of revitalization projects of rural centers as a part of the regional capacity strengthening in Yeongwol-gun. According to the study results, first of all, it was unclear to answer for questions what, how and why to lead the project, when examining logical associations among program inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes. As an alternative method, the logic model has been applied, and this in turn led to clarify the goals, inputs, contents, outputs, outcomes as well as overall outcome goals and purpose of the current projects. Second of all, the initial, intermediate and long term outcome goals of the current project were indistinctly specified, and moreover, their evaluation methods were also unclear. By applying the logic model to the current regional capacity strengthening project, it was able to figure the distinction between program outputs and outcomes, and specify initial, intermediate and long term target goals as well as their evaluation tools. It is therefore to conclude that the logic model has a possibility to apply to a project evaluation, especially in the sense that this method considers efficiency, effectiveness and accountability of each project.
