In Korea, rural community has been becomming unstable by declining of agriculture. In order to solve this problem, there were some trials to activate rural communities by maintaining rural amenities. But, it is difficult to use rural amenities as a development factor to promote rural communities because there are few researches about quantifying rural amenities. In this study, a method fer quantifying rural amenities is suggested using database normalization technique. Previous thirty seven surveying items of rural amenity resources are formally reduced to five common surveying items, seven resources, and eleven surveying tables. Finally, big picture of rural amenity resource map with surveying data for rural development is suggested.

Rural amenity is regarded as a breakthrough that can revitalize the rural communities. The demand for rural amenity development is also increasing since the urban people have growing incomes and leisure time. This study was implemented to survey the needs and application directions of rural amenity database. The survey questionnaires were collected from various related groups including industry, universities, administration and research institute. Two kinds of analysis of variance (ANOVA) were carried out in order to prioritize the building rural amenity resource map among four user groups and ten rural amenity resources. The result of survey showed that most of respondents had been aware of amenity resources and the industry group had the highest level of utilization in making decisions for rural development. Although the significant difference among groups was not shown in the priority, the priority in the construction of information map was shown the significant difference among 10 kinds of amenity resources. Landscape's map and traditional resource map were relatively higher priority than the other resource map.

Due to the dramatic industrialization in Korea, rural area has been degraded with incurable problems including community aging, emptying and liabilities overburdens. Rural amenity, the intangible resources that the rural area itself has, is regarded as a breakthrough that can revitalize the rural communities. In fact, the rural area and communities have lots of amenity resources that have been overlooked. Rural area has kept traditions and open green spaces which are highlighted in these days since the life quality has been upgraded and working days in a week was cut off to 5 days. Institute of Rural Resources Development realized the importance of rural amenities and offered the nation wide survey project for rural amenity resources. In this article, the survey project that was implemented by the Korean Society of Rural Planning was narrated in terms of methodologies and procedures. Also the results and the problems were addressed.

Rural landscape is essential resources to reinvigorate rural tourism and local economy. The objective of this study is to apply the methodology that can assess landscapes of many rural villages based on the data of Rural Amenity Resource Survey. Above all, to make the data of rural amenity resources survey appropriate for landscape assessment, that was reclassified into 4 landscape resource and 12 lower items. Secondly, 4 evaluation standards of rural landscape; weight of landscape resources, weight of lower items, evaluation of lower items as the number, and evaluation of management condition was established by questionnaire survey. Thirdly, the evaluation standards was applied to case study area; Jug-Goc Myeon, Goc-Seong county, Jeollanamdo. Finally, this result was compared with the other result that management condition was not included in, and the villages that were urgent to improve management condition were selected. As a result, water resource and management condition have great effects on the total quality of rural landscape. Therefore, there are many villages that have peat potentials although that indicates low quality of landscape, now.

This study aims to understand the degree of inequality of surveyed amenity resources and identify which resource and region have the highest concentration by estimating Lorenz Curve and the Gini's Coefficient. The Lorenz Curve and Gini's Coefficient derived from economics are introduced as tools for investigating and quantifying regional variability of amenity resources concentration. This study describes the concepts underlying the application of the Gini's coefficient to measure the concentration of amenity resources in 11 regions, Chungbuk Province, Korea. The Lorenz Curve presents a graphical view of the cumulative distribution of amenity resources and the Gini's Coefficient provides a single-parameter measure of the distributional concentration of amenity resources. Also the Gini's Coefficient is compared to the number of amenity resource for understanding distributional difference between concentration and quantitative distribution of amenity resources. The results demonstrate significantly different regional variation according to the amenity variables: almost intact nature, interaction between nature and man, man-made.

This study is to be used as a fundamental material of rural amenity resources researches, such as excavating, establishing and modifying national agricultural landscape resources, so as to efficiently manage them. It is carried out with targeting traditional Darangyi-Rice terrace which has design factors of agricultural landscape resources. We have set up the standard range with practicable similar standard(Marginal Farmland and Less Favored Areas and etc), those of Japan, and the results of analyzing the characteristics of Darangyi-Rice terrace already known. As a result of the field investigation, it has been revealed that a great deal of Darangyi-Rice terrace are being used for not corresponding purposes, or damaged and disappeared. For preserving and well-managing Darangyi-Rice terrace as a rural landscape resource which has rural design factors, it should be advanced detailed and accurate studies on present conditions and changes of Darangyi-Rice terrace, with researches on significances, values, utilities and economical efficiency of Darangyi-Rice terrace by regions. In addition, we utilized various spatial imagery data in the researching process. Consequently, it is concluded that if high resolution imagery data is used, it can establish rather minute and accurate large-scale DB, and monitor elaborate changes as well. It is therefore thought that its application can be higher as actualizing DB hereafter.

The sandy beach along the east coast of Korea offers beautiful scenery with high-quality sand for leisure, and is also famous for the white-sand and pine-tree which is an important scenic resource. Furthermore, the sandy beach helps to maintain natural environment of the costal area and functionates as a disaster prevention system against high waves. There are two major value evaluation methods, Travel Cost Method and Contingent Valuation Method, to assess the value of coastal sandy beach. Contingent Valuation Method is considered to be more appropriate for simultaneous evaluation on the usefulness and the uselessness of the beach. But in order to apply Contingent Valuation Method to coastal sandy beach evaluation, close examination and investigation on the potential bias, such as on questionnaires, surveys and replies, are required. In this study, the characteristic of primary amenity of sandy beach users is investigated, in prior to evaluating the usefulness and the uselessness of the beach measured by contingent valuation method. The characteristic of amenity on major sandy beaches on the east coast of Korea is studied and compared by diverse value evaluation methods.

The application contents, process, and its limitations are discussed for the setting of Korean legal guides & criteria for water cycle and ecological condition in development project of land use by thorough comparison and examination of prerequisites and credits of water cycle and soil+vegetation by USA's SITES (Sustainable Sites Initiative). In the case of SITES, due to the implementation procedure operated as a non-governmental independent assessment system by Green Business Certification, Inc, the natural condition of water cycle and soil-vegetation items-the key element of ecosystem services can be quantitatively assessed, well along with its legal and institutional guidelines and regulations. On the other hand, in the case of Korea, as a part of the national certification procedure for green building, the ecological area ratio system still have very limited role as an only amenity resource in the creation of artificial green spaces and insufficiency of management system for rain water. In conclusion, it was understood as an urgent situation in necessary for prompt establishment of site's sustainability certification system at the national level, based on management of water circulation and natural soil & vegetation in developed area with consideration of various land uses and types of development projects.

농촌관광은 농촌마을을 중심으로 활성화가 되어야하며 이를 매개로 하여 농촌주민의 농외 소득증대와 더불어 농촌 삶의 질을 높일 수 있다. 최근에 이르러 농촌관광의 성패는 그 마을이 가진 잠재적 어메니티 자원뿐만 아니라 이러한 잠재자원을 활용하여 마을을 성공적으로 운영할 인적자원이 보다 중요한 요인으로 인식되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 농촌관광마을의 해설 및 체험지도 인력을 대상으로 활동특성 현황을 파악하고자 마을단위로 조사하여 분석하였다. 정부가 지원한 마을 중 가장 많은 부분을 차지하는 녹색농촌체험마을(농림수산식품부), 농촌전통테마마을(농촌진흥청)은 2009년까지 총 612개소이나 이 중 인력기반이 형성되었을 것으로 판단되는 2007년까지 선정된 농촌관광마을 403개 중 100개 마을을 무작위로 선정하였다. 조사대상은 마을의 추진위원장 중심으로 리더 100명, 추진위원장 추천의 마을해설 및 체험지도 인력 명단에서 2~4명 정도, 총 300명을 자기기입식 및 직접면접 조사를 병행하여 조사 분석하였다. 해설 및 체험지도자 활용유형을 생태해설, 생활문화, 농업기술, 전통놀이/문화, 전통 음식, 전통공예, 지역설화로 분류하였으며, 지도방법은 직접시현(체험)과 간접시현(안내/해설)으로 구분하여 분석을 실시하였다. 마을에서 활동하고 있는 체험지도 인력은 평균 6.6명이었고, 마을해설에 참여하는 내부인력은 평균 3.2명, 외부인력은 0.8명이었으며, 체험지도에 참여하는 내부인력은 평균 4.2명, 외부인력은 1명으로 나타나 마을해설보다는 체험지도에 외부인력을 더 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 마을에서 활동하고 있는 해설 및 체험지도인력들에 대해 농촌관광마을 리더들은 부족하다는 의견이 49%로 과반수 정도를 차지하여 농촌체험지도를 위한 인력이 부족하다고 판단하는 것으로 나타났다. 마을해설이나 체험지도에 참여하는 사람들의 체험지도 형태는 주로 새로운 지식을 스스로 공부하여 해설하는 경우가 45.5%, 전문화된 개설이 가능한 비율이 19.9%, 안내만 함 19.5%, 시연만 함 15.2%로서 대부분이 지도인력들이 스스로 해설에 적극적으로 참여하고 있었다. 또한 체험거리 한두 가지를 전문적으로 지도하는 비율(41.2%)보다 여러 가지를 종합적으로 지도하는 비율이 58.8%로 높게 나타나 한 사람이 몇 가지를 동시에 담당하여 지도하는 체험지도에 대한 전문성 확보가 미흡한 것으로 보인다. 이와 같이 본 연구에서 농촌관광마을의 인적자원 활용 현황을 살펴보고, 마을 해설사의 인적자원의 잠재성을 활용 농촌마을의 발전 동력을 찾고자 함에 연구에 의의가 있다.
