Globally, the actual circumstance is that local downpours are occurring and the droughts are extensively continuing on and the occurrence of large-scale earthquakes is increasing as a result of changes in nature environment. It is being pointed out also in the case of Korea for the urgent countermeasures against the situation of repeated occurrence of disasters in the regions where the concept of disaster prevention has not been applied. Accordingly, the National Emergency Management Agency has been implementing the formation of disaster prevention trial towns since 2009 for the regions vulnerable to disasters and searching for plans to improve disaster prevention measures. Therefore, the concept of disaster prevention town and the program type were summarized in this study, and the development strategy for developing disaster prevention town was presented through the related laws and policies and the case analysis of domestic and international trial programs, and the basic concept of forming disaster prevention town was presented to present basic information for developing disaster prevention town.

The purpose of this study is to know how to make common space, find a type of it, and build a village landscape with it in countryside. There are five types of village including suburban according to typological locality in rural area. Each of them have remarkable common spaces that are combined with community identity and usage. They usually are located along with the street and lane of the village. Most of the villages I surveyed have common places for residents to rest, share, and meet together. Representatively, pavilion with symbolic tree we call Jeonja is very popular place to them, and village people also require public parking or pocket park in their modern life. I researched common places in ten communities in rural area so that I can suggest a way of community design through them. According to this research, there are three results. First, the common space of the village is placed to motivate emotional and attractive community design in the village. Second, the common space has an identity and landscape architectural relationship to build sustainable community. Third, countries' streets that I surveyed have four types, which are liner, tree, loop, and radiate patterns of lane. In line with those types, each one makes different and historical community landscape.

This research had selected current rural village development projects with the representative meaning of rural regional development projects in order to analyze results of projects and various policies of the government to enhance the quality of resident life and to develop rural regions. For the analysis, this research had selected 2 districts of the case study in Gyeongnam-province and Jeonnam-province, respectively. In the result of the satisfaction analysis on the projects, it was considerably difficult to analyze satisfaction degree by using a clear distinction of each region type when promoting overall project. However, this research confirmed that there were some differences about residents' understanding of the project and satisfaction degree in the process of projects according to the regional characteristics (rural and mountain areas). In general, two districts' residents of rural areas expressed relatively more negative feedbacks in process of the project compared to two district residents of mountain areas. This research suggested that it is needed to have residents' understanding of the project, a restoration of village community spirit to help each other and to cooperate, fostering a desirable leader, establishing effective village regulations, transition into an open and inclusive attitude, promoting rural village development project, and realization of the operating method in order to have an amicable project process in the future.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the directions for establishing a disaster safety village in rural areas where damage from a similar type of disaster occurs repeatedly by conducting the consciousness survey targeting at experts and disaster safety officials in a local government. Method: The risks of disaster in rural areas were examined and the concept and characteristics of disaster safety village which is a measure on the basis of Myeon (township) among the measures of village unit were examined in order to carry out this study. In addition, opinion polling targeting at officials-in-charge in the local government and survey targeting at experts in disaster safety and building village were conducted. Based on the findings, the directions for establishing a disaster safety village that fitted the characteristics of rural areas were examined. Result: The officials-in-charge in the local government answered that rural areas have a high risk of storm and flood such as heavy snowing, typhoon, drought, and heavy rain as well as forest fire, and it is difficult to draw voluntary participation of farmers for disaster management activities due to their main duties. They also replied that active support and participation of residents in rural areas are necessary for future improvement measures. The experts mostly replied that the problem of disaster safety village project is a temporary project which has low sustainability, and the lack of connections between the central government, local governments and residents was stressed out as the difficulties. They said that measures to secure the budget and the directions of project promotion system should be promoted by the central government, local governments and residents together. Conclusion: The results of this study are as follows. First, a disaster safety village should be established in consideration of the disaster types and characteristics. Second, measures to secure the budget for utilizing the central government fund as well as local government fund and village development fund should be prepared when establishing and operating a disaster safety village in rural areas. Third, measures to utilize a disaster safety village in rural areas for a long period of time such as the re-authorization system should be prepared in order to continuously operate and manage such villages after its establishment. Fourth, detailed measures that allow residents of rural areas to positively participate in the activities for establishing a disaster safety village in rural areas should be prepared.

Community centers, silver towns and resting places are representative community facilities in rural villages. These community facilities affect villagers directly or indirectly in terms of life quality. Current community facilities of rural village are in poor condition in spite of their importance. In particular, the small size of community facilities and standardized programs are common issues in rural villages. As a result, it is necessary to research and investigate the improvement of community spaces and provide a variety of community activities. The purpose of this research is to provide appropriate area standards for 5 category community facilities(community centers, sliver towns, resting places, community yards, gymnasiums and recreation areas) and also to provide basic information for future village planning. The precedent study of community facilities was investigated. In addition, 25 rural villages in 5 districts were investigated regarding their facility conditions and current community satisfaction. As a result, appropriate rural village area standards are provided. The research results of the community facility standards are almost higher than the current representative community facilities average area. This is expected to improve the community facility environment, people's activities and to increase the growth of awareness in community.

This study was to investigate the characteristics and management condition of the Singeum village's Dangsan forest, and to seek the revitalization of rural village by improving management scheme. The Dangsan forest in Singeum-ri, Goheung-gun was composed of a Dangsan forest and a Bibo forest. The Dangsan forest was designated as natural monument # 362, and named 'Evergreen forest of Bongnae-myeon, Goheung'. The Dangsan forest area has been disturbed by the building of student training center. Even the local resident couldn't enter the forest due to the fence at the forest boundary except for Dangsan ritual which used to be serviced once a year. The Bibo forest was included in a beach area, and disturbed by lack of management. The Dangsan forest did not stay in good condition with various problems, such as wrong naming as a natural monument and misuse. The driving force of the Dangsan forest maintaining the beauty for several hundred years originated from the conservation of the forest with Dangsan ritual by local residents. Today, the Dangsan forest is in danger of being vanished and not regarded any more as a holy place due to inaccessibility for Dangsan ritual. The Dangsan forest in Singeum village needs to enhance its value as a traditional and cultural landscape, and improving the management scheme will contribute to revitalization of the village.

This article aims to develop model for the right policy Tools available from the cause analysis regarding the regional differences of subway modal split in Seoul metropolitan area. This allows two major factors of the most influential subway modal split to be proved and Portfolio Analysis is conducted. The results are as follows. Firstly, the two primary factors affecting subway modal split were shown as subway adjacent area and local line bus. It signifies that expansion of subway adjacent area, establishing the number of the subway stations and increase of local line bus are required in order to improve a diminishing subway modal split. Following that, pattern of the improvement to strengthen better subway connections are classified according to the two areas which are Concentration Area of Improvement in Subway Station Area (CAISSA) and Concentration Area of Improvement in Local Bus (CAILB). Our study revealed that Ganbukgu, Seodaemungu, Geumcheongu, and Gwanakgu were selected as the area of CAILB and Songpagu, and Junggu were selected as the area of CAISSA. As all things are considered, transportation policy makers should be taken into account in the two main factors driven by our study according to types in order to enhance the future subway share proportion.

Transformation which is the major damage factor of living space in folk village is caused by improvement behaviors reflecting real requirements of residents who are the subjects of life. Such a process changes traditional space structure gradually and lowers preservative value of folk village. Therefore this study examines transformational conditions of living space centering around changes of spatial components and plane forms through literature and field research and analyzes characteristics of transformational phenomenon. This study examined changes of components and transformation of Seongeup folk village. While main room plane was diversified by residents' requirements, it was not harmonized with traditional image of Seongeup folk village. Transformation of living space at Seongeup Folk Village was positive from the side of residents' living requirements, but negative in that it damaged unique identity of folk village. Accordingly, it is thought that deliberation considering residents' living requirements as the field of their life with maintenance of original form for the purpose of preserving folk village and professionals' support and legal study for revision of approval system are continuously required.

This study aims to examine and classify plane types of Hanok at Haengbok village, analyze changes, area distribution and space structures of space components and sort plane types and their characteristics. Plane types were divided into four; living room, kitchen, dining room, etc. These plane types were labelled as LK type, L+K type, L+DK type and LDK type. LK type and L+K type were mainly found at single-wing house and made of living room and kitchen centered space structure, but substantially they were designed to ensure guest room, room and living room. Therefore, hanok built at Haengbok village were designed to combine the functions of residential function and lodging. Plane type was preferred to be used for double functions of residence and lodging. On the other side, L+DK type and LDK type were mainly found in house with several wings and they were designed centering around living room for family space. In addition entrance was placed to simplify entry from the outside and each room and guest room were arranged to be accessed from living room. It means that the functions of house focused on residence rather than lodging and all rooms had the structure to be used as residential space in case of emergency.

A village grove is the one fostered and protected for a district's traditional community life near the vicinity of a village. This study is done by surveying the vegetation and flora at the village grove situated at the former location for the US military camp. Through such data collected from this study, this researcher could have access to preliminary data needed for restoration project & preservation of not only the village grove surveyed but also the village grove of its neighboring district. According to the survey, there appeared an outgrowth flora of Pteridophyta consisting of 2 families, 2 genuses, 1 species, and 1 variety, totalling to 2 taxa; a Gymnosperm of 2 families, 2 genuses, 3 species, totalling to 3 taxa; in the realm of an Angiosperm, a Monocotyledon consisting of 5 families, 10 genuses, and 11 species, totalling to 11 taxa; Dicotyledoneal consisting of 24 families, 39 genuses, 40 species, and 3 varieties, totalling to 43 taxa, thus revealing 33 families, 53 genuses, 55 species, 4 varieties and 59 taxa in total. Urbanization index(4.2%) and Naturalization ratio(20.3%) showed a relatively higher numerical value than those of other districts. The vegetation unit comprising a village grove is classified Into the four community units, such as Pinus densiflora community, Pinus densiflora-Quercus serrata community, Quercus serrata community, and Rosa multiflora community. Quercus serrata community is of a community type dominated by Quercus serrata, in place of Pinus densiflora selected by natural succession, which shows relatively superior lighting adaptability and was surveyed to grow up on not only a tree layer but also a sub-tree layer. With the recent appearance of industrialization, the use of a village grove is reducing due to villagers' leaving, decrease in the number of households, and urbanization; consequently, there came out a pattern of succession to Quercus serrata community, which could be assumed to be potential natural vegetation of this district, after passing through the process of Pinus densiflora-Quercus serrata community.
