This study aims to explore how older adults construct their life-world in their ecological and socio-cultural context of rural communities and to understand what meanings they give to the life experiences they have had within their life-world. Two rural villages in Sunchang County in North Jeolla Province, South Korea were selected for this study and ethnographic fieldwork was conducted for about 2 months to gather the data. Despite the fact that rural communities face restructuring and economic decline, older adults in this study gave positive meanings to their life experiences. Doing agricultural labor particularly in later life let them maintain independence and continuity in life, and provided them with plenty of opportunity to interact with nature. Also, they had a sense of control over their physical and social environments where they had been familiar with for a long period of time. Furthermore, older adults had various memories of contributions to families and communities have been created. This research shows older adults in rural communities are active agents of their life-world, dismantling stereotypical notions of older adults as dependent, isolated, and marginalized. Implications of the study are discussed in detail.

농촌의 녹지공간은 일상생활에서 많은 사람들이 쉽게 접근하여 휴식과 휴양을 즐기거나, 개개인이 자아를 발견하고 재창조하는 장소로 농촌이 있음으로 발생되는 논, 밭, 목야, 과수원, 산림, 마을숲, 하천, 호수 등을 말한다. 이러한 농촌의 녹지공간은 심리적으로 인간이 아름다운 경관을 보고 즐길 수 있는 마음을 가지게 하며, 환경 보전적으로 지역의 생태계를 보전하고 미기후를 조절하기도 한다. (중략)

우리 나라가 본격적인 국가개발계획을 추진한 이래 지난 40여 년간 급속한 경제성장과 산업화의 영향으로 농촌인구의 급격한 도시 유입이 이루어지고 이에 따라 도시지역은 비대해지고 농촌지역은 과소화되는 등 농촌 내외의 상황변화에 따라 일반적으로 변화의 속도가 늦은 농촌사회도 많은 변화를 경험하게 되었다. 그런데 이러한 농촌의 변화에 대한 미시적이고 횡단적인 연구는 많이 이루어지고 있으나 장기적이고 생활 측면에서 접근한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 '93∼2002년까지 10년 동안 대구ㆍ낙동강권역의 사례지역인 대구시 달성군 다사면 이천리(도시근교), 경북 상주시 사벌면 원흥3리(평야지), 의성군 봉양면 사력1리(중간지), 문경시 동로면 생달1리(산간지) 4마을에 대한 실태조사를 실시하여 농촌생활의 장기적인 변화를 분석하고, 2000년대 바람직한 농촌 미래상 정립을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 이루어졌다.

본 연구는 체계론에 근거하여 농촌가정의 의사소통효율성, 재무관리행동, 가정생활 만족간의 관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 체계론에 의해 제시된 개념적 틀을 지지하는 것으로 나타났으며 이를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 의사소통효율성에 직접효과를 미친 변수는 경제문제 경험도와 경제적 상승감이었다. 재정관리행동에는 경제문제 경험도, 경제적 기대감, 의사소통효율성이 직접효과를 미쳤고, 경제문제경험도는 의사소통효율성을 통한 간접효과도 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 경제문제경험도, 경제적 상승감, 경제적 기대감, 의사소통효율성, 재무관리행동의 변수가 산출요소인 가정생활만족에 직접적인 효과를 보였고, 이중 재무관리행동을 제외한 4개 변수 모두 재무관리행동을 통한 간접효과도 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Rural life improvement has remained a key policy concern for the governments of most developing countries. However, developing countries mostly focused on agricultural productivity and technology development while implementing rural development policies. This paper was aimed at constructing the trends and identify the major tasks implemented through the rural life improvement programs in Korea and describing rural development efforts in Ethiopia after the Second World War. The data was generated through an intensive review of literature and focus group interview in Korea. The two countries in general and their rural areas in particular, were poor and almost similar initially. While the condition of rural Korea rapidly transformed since 1960s, rural Ethiopia has not yet experienced major improvement. Although different rural development efforts have been made in Ethiopia, erratic policies implemented by the different political regimes across time emerge to be one of the main factors behind the poor performance of the of the rural sector. Further, while the Korean government's rural development policy gave equal emphasis to improvement of agricultural production base as well as rural life improvement right from its inception, the Ethiopian rural development policy has rather neglected the rural life improvement aspect. Diversification of rural economy was also another priority area in Korea's rural development policy through agro-processing, rural tourism, and non-farm employment opportunities whereas this has not been the case in Ethiopia's rural development policy. We suggest some lessons that Ethiopia might adapt for its rural life improvement endeavors.

For the purpose, this study focused the patterns of returners-to-village according to their experience of rural life, and their ways of settlement like planning and getting land and house. The questionnaires were answered by 91 persons who were living in Chungbuk area, and were analyzed chi-analysis on their socio-demographic characteristics according to experience of rural life, preparation of settlement and construction. The ANOVA were used to analyze their pattern of return according to experience, the period for getting house, and their satisfaction level of house size. The results were as follows. First, the returners showed differentiated tendency according to their experience of rural life, in their age, family life cycle, education level and income source after return. The experience of rural life explained the purpose of return and the living pattern after return. Direct experience group was mostly occupational farmer; indirect experience group mostly pursued good health & green life; non experience group mostly pursued green life. Second, the experience of rural life also explained differentiated tendency of returning preparation. In raising money, direct experience group mostly raised it privately but indirect or non experience group mostly used bank loan. Third, the returners mostly constructed new houses; non experience group almost constructed newly, but there were cases to utilize existing or vacant house in direct experience group, and indirect experience group favored existing house or remodeling of vacant house.
