There are several methods for building optimal eco-villages in a narrow territory. To derive a new optimal eco-village factors by combining environmental factors from ubiquitous sensor network and topography factors, this study attempted to investigate ecological spaces of specific human settlements, to compare those with the spatial analytical results on natural real settlements, and to draw a construction plan for an optimal ecological village. This study presented a new milestone for building eco-villages in the large or small village units of the entire country in the fact that we can find a living space to make natural healing possible by integrating ecological factors and wellbeing spatial configuration using more healthy natural space. Also, this study proposed a practical method to do so.

There are severl types of Eco-village developed in abvanced countries including urban, suburban and rural style. For the establishment of Eco-village in Korea, it was focussed to introduce the rural style which has been developed inyersively in European countries such as Denmark, England and Germany. As a key cencept for Eco-villge it was explained briefly and discussed on the renewable energy(wind power park, bio-mass and solar energy collector and heating system), eco-architure, methane gas device, living machine (wastewater treatment facility) and organic farming. It was also discussed how important the basic standard and guidelines for organic agriculture to run essential for the system. For this reason major principles of international applicable standard(draft) for organically grown foods by FAO/WHO Codex alimentarius was shortly desidered. as one of very suitable type for Environmental Agriculture Districts Program which Korean govenment is going to establish in the near future. In conculusion it was also suggested that positive participation of organic famers, enthusiastic eneagement of inhabitans and support strategy of govemment /NGO groups might play very important role for successful managment of Eco-village ecologically sustainable after establishment.

The objective of this study is to interpret a typical Korean traditional settlement for searching for planning criteria of ecological friendly housing estates. The interpreting framework is five environmental ecological ideas as the adaptation to the exterior of village, the eco-space in village, the interior of house, the cycling of material and the reasonable energy system, prevention of environment pollution and reduction of wastes. Through the interpretation, it has been found out that Bang chon village has been developed to an environmental ecological rational setting and has the meaningful elements for environmental friendly housing estates. Particularly, the spatial components of Bang-chon are characterized by the concept of multi-function, and diversity, which are worth of being considered as important planning of ecological friendly housing estates.

This study has intended to devise a comprehensive rural planning, driven by residents based on ecological rural amenity paradigm for Busu area, Boeun-gun, South Korea. To reach the goal, this study has performed the following processes. First, we have analyzed the elements of threat, opportunity, weakness, and strength in both inside and outside village through 'SWOT analysis. Second, through strategic analysis and consultation, we have proposed developmental directions of Busu area. Third, based on an ecological rural amenity planning system composed of ecological economy system, ecological environment system, ecological history-culture system, ecological image system, and ecological society system, we have suggested research projects of each system Fourth, we selected projects through a general meeting with all stakeholders. Fifth, the selected projects were applied to Busu area by village residents and experts. Finally, the projects, which were appraised and revised by experts, residents, and governmental officers, were composed of ecological scenic agriculture center, resident's site for city dweller, energy independent village, eco-road, eco-pond, ecological park and parking lot, restoration of traditional culture, zone of ecological scenic agriculture, eco-tunnel, eco-fence, landmark, corporate identity, community center, forum and seminar, and education for residents' empowerment.

In this study, we survey the 2 buildings at the Central 1 and 8 buildings at the Central 2, which are divided by each climate region in the rural regions. Major heat loss factors are 47% loss of the outer shell including outer wall, roof, and bottom, 30% loss through window, and 23% loss through crevice wind. We analyze the energy simulation of ECO2 program to construct a zero energy building regarding village hall located in Jung Juk 4-le at Centeral 2. We simulate the primary energy requirement regarding village hall and the simulated results show the $265.3kWh/m^2{\cdot}a$ and it may estimate '2' energy efficiency grade. The energy requirement regarding village hall is the $183.2kWh/m^2{\cdot}a$ when the passive technology are applied in village hall. We research total amount of energy requirement in village hall when the passive and active technologies such as solar cell with 3kW and solar thermal with $20m^2$, geothermal power with 17.5kW. The simulated results show the improved energy efficiency certification grade with $1^{{+}{+}{+}}$ due to the reduced primary energy requirement with 73% when passive technology including 3kW of solar panel is applied and the energy independence rate is 54%, which is estimated to be 4th grade of zero energy buildings. The order of energy consumption are solar panel, solar thermal, and geothermal power under applied passive technology in the building. In order to expand the zero energy building, it is necessary to introduce the zero energy evaluation system in the rural region.

This study was carried out to investigate the recognition and requirements of mountain eco-tourism by surveying mountain villages'visitors. As a feasibility study to introduce new eco-tourism policies, the individual interview survey was conducted from June 17, 2015 to September 17, 2015 targeting 439 visitors in 57 mountain villages, where the Korea Forest Service designated them as mountain eco-villages and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has been operating the rural experience and recreation village business. As a result of the major analysis, the respondents'intention to participate in mountain eco-tourism was 3.65 by Likert 5-point-scale and the respondent's most preferred the number of visits was once a year(44.6%) or twice a year(30.1%). Also, the most preferred region was Gangwon-do(44.8%) and the average amount of expense willing to pay was 153,320 won. Lastly, the respondents said they expect development of regional tourism product(M=3.99) and mountain eco-tourism program(M=3.96) by requirements for mountain eco-tourism. This result shows that it is necessary to inspire public awareness regarding the value of mountain eco-tourism and to develop new policies or programs making people more attracted to mountain villages. Thus, it means that mountain eco-tourism can be utilized as a way to steer sustainable mountain village.

The importance of residents' participation has become more prominent to promote better living condition and quality of life in rural communities due to the skeptical views on the outcomes of the rural community supporting projects led by organizations and institutions. This study analyzes White Dandelion Eco-Village in Hoebuk Myeon, Boeun Kun, Chungbuk where community development is being done by its residents. By examining the formation background and the history of the village, and various participation forms and methods of the residents, I am to derive the ideal rural community development project led by the villagers themselves. To achieve successful supporting projects for rural communities by many different organizations and methods, it is necessary to have followings; residents' affectionate attentions for the community as well as good ideas and intentions, excellent leaders who gather all the efforts and transform them into good plans, well made strategies and continuous endeavor, and the diversion of thoughts of the supporting project experts and the organizations.

A mountain village is defined as that which is autogenously formed over at least 100 years and supported by agricultural yields and forest products and forest area portion of which is over 70% in Guidelines for the Comprehensive Development Planning of Mountain Village. Recently, concerns about management planning of the Green and Eco-Village causes researches related to the Mountain Village's economics, tourism attractiveness, experience programming and investigation of the ecosystem and environment based on the village area. This kind of eco-village project should be supported by ecological evaluation of its spatial structure. But there is rare research of the village spatial structure studied from the ecological viewpoint originally. The purpose of this study is to interpret the spatial structure of Korean mountain village on the landscape ecological paradigm. The paradigm components are patches, corridors, networks, and matrix which explain the land and spatial structure at landscape scale. For this purpose, we selected two case study areas- Sansu and Ajick villages in Gimje city, Jeonlabukdo. We interpreted and evaluated the spatial structure by three steps: (1) to clarify the existing land mosaic pattern by land use mapping (2) to estimate the pore size as development area in matrix (3) to investigate the funnel effect of patch shape. These landscape ecological steps and frameworks could be applied for the proper methodology as fundamentals of eco-village planning and design.

The population hasincreases in urban increase geometrically, and then many problemsoccur in society anomity, environmental pollution, exhaustion of recourses, So we have to consider the quality of our life. Eco-village is the alternative the village's principle to consider the human life. Eco-village refers to the application to ecological principles to the development of human ecosystem in order to achieve sustainability. Since a few yearsm, in Korea, ecovillages have built for alternative society and developed local society. The expert and residents live ecovillages just consider the physical system or the social system. However, Ecovilliges must have not only unique physical, social aspects, but also the scenic aspects, especially, in the villages for eco-tourism. The paper examines what images are recognized by the people as ecovillages, and what difference betweenr they understand the functions and meaning each image or not. Through the result, this paper explores the important and necessity of the scenic landscape plan in ecovillages.
