This paper builds a system of indicators representing rural regional development level. Indicators were classified into two groups, that is, living environment indicator group and regional vitality indicator group. Living environment indicator group consists of four indicators including housing, road, water supply, and sewage system, while regional vitality indicator group consists of five indicators including regional economy, public finance, and demography. Real data of the year 2002 and 2006 were used to do the basic statistical analysis and estimate the suitable statistical distributions for each indicator. Data were applied for the three city/county type, general city, urban-rural combined city, and county. General cities have the strongest urbanization tendency among the three types, while counties have the weakest tendency. General cities turned out to be superior in housing condition, road density, water supply system and sewage system. Indicators of employment and local finance showed the highest levels in counties. The results of this analysis are expected to provide local governments with the appropriate reference for their rural regional development policy.

서부경남 남해연안 지역에 위치한 대형 석탄 화력발전소는 그 동안 국가산업발전과 국민생활향상에 기여해온 반면, 다량의 대기오염물질 배출로 지역주민들의 건강, 재산 피해 및 각종 환경문제가 제기되고 있으며, 그 피해사항도 언론매체를 통해 자주 보도되고 있다. 이러한 대기환경 오염문제를 해결하고 보다 구체적이고 효과적인 지역 대기질 개선방안을 마련하기 위해서는 실제 정확한 지역의 대기오염 현황 파악을 통한 적극적인 대책방안이 요구된다. (중략)
