U-turn migration is one of the prominent phenomenon after IMF controlled Korean economy. However a number of U-turn migrants were settled in rural area before that time. This paper is aims at studying the socio-economic effects of U-turn migration in rural area. The study results are summarized as follows; First, migrants are relatively young and engaged in overall parts of the farming. The farmer with age under 50 is represented at 71.4% of migrants comparing with 53.7% of those farmers in rural area. Second, owing to the increasing number of U-turn migrants, the decreasing price of rural wages, the decreasing of idle land, and the increasing price of farm land are the outstanding phenomenon at present. Third, even though there are many kinds of supporting systems for U-turn migrants, the systems are not so successfully functioned. For the successful supporting system they must be changed for the individual migrant rather than target group.

인구감소와 고령화가 진행되고 있는 농산촌 지역의 '내발적 발전'에 의한 지역 활성화를 알아보기 위해서, 지역 활성화를 추진하고 있는 학산면 모리를 사례로 이러한 활동을 내발적 측면에서 검토하고, 이후의 과제를 지적하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 모리마을은 특산물인 포도의 유통 구조 복잡성과 수입 포도의 증가로 농외소득을 증대시키기 위해서 도농교류를 도입하였으며, 이로 인해 농외소득이 증가하고 있다. 도농교류 도입에 의한 운영 위원회가 조직되고 이장을 포함한 지역 리더가 여러 업무를 겸임하면서 마을업무가 일부 리더에게 집중되어 있다. 일부 리더 중심의 업무형태와 주민의 역할이 없는 마을 활성화사업은 지속성의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 모리마을의 주민과 리더간의 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 마을지도자, 참가 주민, 미참가 주민, 민박 등에 대한 세부적인 교육을 통해 최대한 많은 주민에게 적합한 역할분담이 필요한 것으로 보인다.
