This article applied the single case study method to analyze how the KEPCO managed the Miryang Transmission Tower conflict and how it affected the stakeholders and the village community. In order to resolve the conflict and continue with the construction, the KEPCO utilized a conflict management strategy that involved force, compensation and legal action. The KEPCO dismantled the protest camp through unilateral administrative enforcement to suppress the opposing residents. Moreover, individual compensation, strictly prohibited in the past, was used to reach a quick agreement to complete the construction. Although the KEPCO managed to increase consensus and finish the construction through its conflict management strategy, it also brought the conflict to the community, causing a division among its members. Additionally, how the KEPCO charged the different opposing stakeholders and brought them to the KEPCO camp resembled the divide and rule strategy. Such conflict management methods that excluded the residents, has broken the relations among the residents and destroyed the long sustained community. This study thoroughly analyzed the authoritative business promotion and conflict management strategies, and the conflict and division the village community has experienced. Follow-up studies need to comprehensively analyze the conflicts around the Miryang 765kV Transmission Tower construction by analyzing the intervention of the central government and its role in the planning and construction of the transmission tower.

In this paper, we analyze the existing ecovillages in order to establish a planned-ecovillage model to suggest improvement in direction of ecovillage planning; namely, efficiency of planning elements through analysis of changes in ecovillages. Changes to living environment require increased relaxation and convenience to ensure quality of life. Unlike general ecovillages, planned-ecovillages differ in their introduction of planning elements by autonomous decision-making through discussions and meetings among residents. In the village planning process, complex planning, community facilities, ecology-base facilities, water-resource utilization, and waste disposal can waver from initial planning, giving rise to realistic alternatives to village characteristics for those considering changes to space organization.
