This study was to investigate if there are important variables of rural tourism destination for foreign tourists that discriminate rural tourism perception, experience, and intention to behavior. of the experience activity among the regions and the villages. From the literature review, the survey questionnaires was developed to measure important variables of rural tourism destination, rural tourism perception, experiences and intention to behavior. A total of 799 useful samples were collected and analyzed in SPSS. Factor analysis showed that there are four underlying dimensions (program, preparation to receive, service and regional products, and human service). the results of discriminate analysis showed that service and regional products are important variables in rural tourism perception and experiences. And also service and regional products and human service are important variables in intention to behavior. More detailed discussion and implications are provided in conclusion.

The purposes of this study were to exploring the rural residents' satisfaction of living environment and social service. For these purpose we collected the data from the residents in rural area(1,000). The major findings of this study were as follows : First, the total satisfaction score is 58.9. The highest score group is housing and environment(69.9). And the lowest score group is cultural life and leisure environment. Various welfare services have been carried out for low income people, disabled people, old people, children and rural women within the social service system. But many respondents did not have chances to use social service because it was not efficiently provided many social services. So most of the residents in village wanted more welfare services. Second, the qualitative enhancement is more important than physical infrastructure expansion in order to improve rural settlement condition(housing quality, water supply and drainage, road and traffic system, medical care etc.)

Service quality in local festivals is a crucial for visitors satisfaction. The study aims to identify the factors to influence visitors satisfaction in local festival. A field survey was used to collect data from 206 visitors to the Yesan Apple Festival in South Korea. The results showed that the program and products, staff, and landscape factors could significantly has a significant on visitors' overall satisfaction, whereas facility factor don not influence significantly. The study suggested that festival managers should allocate their marketing resources for the program and products, staff, and landscape factors to increase the visitors' perception of service quality. This study encourages festival managers to provide high level of festival quality to consider extension effects of the festival experiences from long-term perspectives.

Decrease in availability of suitable subbase and base course materials for highway construction leads to a search for economic method of converting locally available troublesome soil to suitable one for highway construction. Present study insights on evaluation of benefits of stabilization of subgrade soils in term of extension in service life (TBR) and layer thickness reduction (LTR). Laboratory investigation consisting of Atterberg limit, Compaction, California Bearing Ratio, unconfined compressive strength and triaxial shear strength tests were carried out on two types of soil for varying percentages of stabilizers. Vertical compressive strains at the top of unstabilized and stabilized subgrade soils were found out by elastoplastic finite element analysis using commercial software ANSYS. The values of vertical compressive strains at the top of unstabilized and stabilized subgrade, were further used to estimate layer thickness reduction or extension in service life of the pavement due to stabilization. Finite element modeling of the flexible pavement layered structure provides modern technology and sophisticated characterization of materials that can be accommodated in the analysis and enhances the reliability for the prediction of pavement response for improved design methodology. If the pavement section is kept same for unstabilized and stabilized subgrade soils, pavement resting on lime, fly ash and fiber stabilized subgrade soil B will have service life 2.84, 1.84 and 1.67 times than that of unstabilized pavement respectively. The flexible pavement resting on stabilized subgrade is beneficial in reducing the construction material. Actual savings would depend on the option exercised by the designer for reducing the thickness of an individual layer.

Localization of extension services in 1997 has weakened the linkage and cooperation between the central and district extension agencies(Provincial Agricultural Research & Extension Services and City & County Technology Centers). Since agriculture needs a national or regional dimension approach in many senses, it is important for agricultural prosperity to maintain and even further strengthen the practice of cooperation between different levels of governments and extension agencies.The objective of this study was to suggest policy measures to strengthen the linkage and cooperation between agricultural extension agencies. Existing works were reviewed to see a general picture of problems associated with he localization of extension services. In order to gain insight into policy measures, questionnaire surveys to extension staffs in districts(8 of 9 Provincial Agricultural Research & Extension Services and 160 of City & County Technology Centers) were conducted. Survey respondents were mainly asked about policy measures which would contribute to strengthen the linkage and cooperation between extension service agencies.Three policy measures derived from the study are: to expand the professional and technological education at the central level; to establish the central－local partnership; and to strengthen the linkage and cooperation between city & county agricultural technology centers.
