The rural living improvement in Japan operates in considerations of socio-eoonomic circumstances of rural community as in Korea. After 1945 the program emphasized the improvement of living conditions such as poverty alienation improvement of house and toilet nutrition after war, From 1955, health programs including better cooking and nutrition, house modification and improved living conditions corresponding to the goal of the developed country were carried out. In 1965. the goal of the rural home economics was focused on the harmonized production and living, improvement of the levels of rural living, health and building rural community. From 1975, the goals of the program were to organize the farming in the better ways and improvement of rural women's role. In 1985, making agreeable living conditions was emphasized under the goal of vital rural society. From the period of Heysey(1989${\sim}$), for better living of rural people the government is emphasizing the programs including farm labor management, utilization of farm products, farm management and rural environments. Recognizing the important influencing resources of agents in extension services, on the job and education was implemented step by step from basic to planning to upgrade competencies. The government is trying to construct better with infrastructures, encouraging direct selling the value-added processed food from local farm products with rural people's real name and other countryside resources. Major programs in the 21st centuries are building better rural society with men and women together and considering elders as well as new farmers.

This study aims to derive basic living service facility items in rural areas and construct related spatial data. To do this, a literature review on the laws and systems related to the residential environment and services in rural areas, rural spatial planning, and the 'Rural Convention' strategic plan reports for the Jeolla and Gyeongsang Region in 2021 was conducted. Primary data collection and review on the list of basic living service items in rural areas derived from the analysis were conducted. After data collection, 12 sectors and 44 types of rural basic living service items were derived; the data selection was carried out based on the clarity of the subject of data management, whether it was established nationwide, whether it was disclosed and provided, whether it was periodically updated, and whether it was an underlying law. Afterwards, data on the derived rural basic living service items were constructed. Afterwards, spatial data on the derived rural basic living service items were constructed. Because open data provided through various institutions were employed, data structure unification such as data attribute values and code names was needed, and abnormal data such as address errors and omissions were refined. After that, the data provided in text form was converted into spatial data through geocoding, and through comparative review of the distribution status of the converted data and the provided address, spatial data related to rural basic living services were finally constructed for about 540,000 cases. Finally, implications for data construction for diagnosing rural living areas were derived through the data collection and construction process. The derived implications include data unification, data update system establishment, the establishment of attribute values necessary for rural living area diagnosis and spatial planning, data establishment plan for facilities that provide various services, rural living area analysis method, and diagnostic index development. This study is meaningful in that it laid the foundation for data-based rural area diagnosis and rural planning, by selecting the basic rural living service items, and constructing spatial data on the selected items.

This study aims to obtain new design factors in terms of constructing rural apartment houses fit for the actual farm life. To carry out this study, field studies and personal interviews have been made on the living mode and using realities in the unit spaces of the rural apartment houses. The houses surveyed are the rural apartments in Chungbuk Province which were built by the public program to improve old farm houses. The results are as follows. The living modes .in the unit spaces of the rural apartments are very similar to those of the urban apartment houses. But compared with the urban indoor-living modes, the rural life is keeping more of the traditional sitting way-of-living. Accordingly, it is quite necessary to consider the nature of farm life and the sitting way-of-living in designing the rural apartment houses.

This study was carried out to investigate the nutritional and physical status of children, aged 11 and 12 years, living in Haenam Koon (living at home) and in Mokpo City (living in an orphan asylum) located in Chonnam during the period of August 2 nd to 9 th in 1984. The mean values of height, chestgirth, arm circumference and head circumference between both groups of living in the rural area and in the city orphan asylum were not statistically different and similar to Korean Growth Standard. Exceptionally, the values of height and weight of male living at home in the rural area were lower than Korean Growth Standard (p<0.01). The weight of male living in the city orphan asylum was higher han that of male living at home in the rural area (p<0.01), and the skin fold thickness of female living at home was higher than that of male living at home (p <0.01). The physical indices of children living in the city orphan asylum were more or less higher than those of living at home in the rural area, but the relative weight of male was only significant (p<0.05). The animal protein intake was $8.4{\sim}8.6%$ of total food intake of living at home in the rural area and 6.2% in living in the city orphan asylum. The intake of legumes of children living in the city orphan asylum was more two times than that of living at home in the rural area, but overall fruit intake of living at home was more about two times than that of living in the city orphan asylum. The average intake of all nutrients except thiamine and niacin was lower than RDA. Especially the calcium intake of children in both groups was the lowest of all nutrients ($28.9{\sim}40.6%$ of RDA). Children living at home in the rural area had significantly higher intake of fat and ascorbic acid than children living in the city orphan asylum (p<0.01).

Daily living area can be delimited differently depending on what area is to be focused. Based on regional interaction, the present study empirically analyzed the difference between living areas focusing on rural area and ones relying on urban area. We established two types of living areas in Busan-Ulsan mega city with different focus areas (rural versus urban), using travel OD data (2006). According to the result, the fonn of spatial clusters in urban living area differed from that of spatial clusters in rural area; the boundaries of living area were not fit to those of administrative areas in both types; and living areas in both types tended to extend over more than two administrative areas. The results cast some implications concerning spatial planning and policy for living area delimitation. First, since the spatial structure and interconnection of urban area differs to those of rural area, it is required to delimit living areas discriminatively depending on the objectives of the spatial plan. Additionally, the living area should be established more specifically and systematically by further subdividing the form of spaces depending on the objectives and types of the plan. Second, the administrative areas should be consolidated now that the difference of boundaries of administrative and living areas lead to inconvenience of residents, increased administration costs and scale diseconomy. Lastly, the living areas should be delimited by the metropolitan or mega city planning and thus be reflected to its offsprings.

The purpose of this paper is to provide basic data to Si and Gun preparing for rural agreements in the future through consideration and case analysis for rural conventions, such things as living standards, hierarchical analysis methods, and general rural development projects. In the 1970s, sporadic and one-off projects focused on individual projects were repeatedly carried out in rural areas, which were undergoing dramatic changes in population movement, land use, landscape, economic growth and living. The keyword of the government's policy has changed to a way that existing rural development projects are planned and promoted by local governments themselves in conjunction with the issue of autonomy and decentralization. In addition, with the introduction of Rural Convention, the central and local governments are striving to achieve common policy goals. However, due to the lack of understanding of the Rural Convention introduced as a pilot project in 2020, the lack of living areas setting-standards, unclear classification of hierarchical structure, and excessive goal consciousness for general agricultural and fishing village development projects remain, fading the original purpose of the Rural Convention. Therefore, this study analyzed the seven reports of the Gyeongsang region selected in the 2021 Rural Convention to identify the characteristics of living area, hierarchical structure analysis, and detailed projects (rural center revitalization project, basic living base development project) and provided them as basic data. As a result of the study, first, according to the results of the hierarchical structure analysis, the first class was derived from 6 out of 7 Si and Gun. This is judged to be the result of the current rural population, social, and economic problems. Second, according to the results of the division of living areas, it was confirmed that except for one local government in seven cities and counties, the remaining six local governments were divided into three single living areas and three two living areas. This is the result obtained through a comprehensive review by overlapping the results of various analyses such as hierarchical analysis and resident surveys and OD data, and shows a different form from the existing upper or related plans. It is judged that this is the result of including qualitative contents such as residents' opinions along with various analyses when determining the living area. Third, the proportion of the budget for rural center revitalization and basic living base development projects to the total project cost subject to the Rural Convention was 59.6%, which was relatively higher than that of other general agricultural and fishing village development projects. It is judged that it is preferred because the unit project cost is relatively high in Si and Gun, and that quantitative results can be visually shown after the project is terminated.

Rural decline due to the decrease of the local population is an inevitable phenomenon, and a vicious cycle has been formed between a lack of basic living services and a population decrease in rural areas. Therefore, the study aims to derive the migration decision-making characteristics based on basic living service infrastructure data in rural areas. To do this, the population change over the past 20 years was categorized into six types, and the relationship between the classified population change types and the number of basic living service infrastructures was analyzed using decision tree analysis. Of the total 3,501 regions, 801 regions were the continuous decline type, of which 740 were rural areas. On the other hand, among 569 regions that were the continuous increase type, 401 regions were urban areas, confirming the population imbalance between rural and urban areas. As a result of the decision tree analysis on the relationship between population change types and the distribution of basic living service infrastructure, the number of daycare centers was derived as an important variable to classify the continuous increase type. Hospitals, parks, and public transportation were also found to be major basic living services affecting the classification of population change types.

This study was conducted to evaluate the application possibility of environment-friendly rural toilet developed by NRLSI (National Rural Living Science Institute). The evaluation tests of rural toilet consist of composting efficiency, component analysis of odor, and economic efficiency. The test showed that the remaining quantity of wastes was only 14.7% during 10 months. The ammonium gas, main component of ill odor, was not measured, and the other components or odor were significantly detected less than those in pit toilet. The saved PVC (Present Value Cost) of the toilet management cost for thirty years is about 2,457,000 wons compared with flushing toilet supported by a single sanitation facility.
