Recently, new methods have been developed for estimating the current and recent changes in effective population sizes. Based on the methods, the effective population sizes of Korean populations were estimated using data from the Korean Association Resource (KARE) project. The overall changes in the population sizes of the total populations were similar to CHB (Han Chinese in Beijing, China) and JPT (Japanese in Tokyo, Japan) of the HapMap project. There were no differences in past changes in population sizes with a comparison between an urban area and a rural area. Age-dependent current and recent effective population sizes represent the modern history of Korean populations, including the effects of World War II, the Korean War, and urbanization. The oldest age group showed that the population growth of Koreans had already been substantial at least since the end of the 19th century.

The Korean rural landscape has changed significantly due to nationwide modernization and industrialization in recent years. Moreover, as urbanization progresses due to population and economic growth, rural areas surrounding the suburbs of cities are feeling the pressure of encroaching urban sprawl. Use of land for human-made structures such as road and housing development is also increasing, resulting in the destruction of nature in rural areas. Adopting a concept of conserving rural landscape in future development projects is therefore highly desirable.The main focus of this study is to look into the traditional concept of the village and to classify some elements of the traditional rural landscape. Daegu Metropolitan City, the third metropolitan city in Korea, is chosen as the subject of the study. The existing 227 villages have been studied on the basis of their principles and types of village locations in relation to the traditional concepts of 'Feng-shui' and 'Tackriji'. The characteristics of the village location are divided into two aspects: the natural landscape, such as topography, hydrosphere, and azimuth, and the historical and cultural landscape, such as customs(Only the natural landscape aspect is included in this study). The natural landscape, a condition of the village location, is divided into three areas: topography, hydrosphere, and azimuth. There are two types of topography: flatland type and mountain type. There are two sub-types in the mountain type: ridge and valley, which depend on the village location in relation to the shapes of the mountains. There are four types of hydrosphere which include waterways and three directions of mountain depending on the shape: front, behind and side. The direction of the village is analyzed from the direction which the houses in the village face. Therefore, the natural landscape element as a condition of the village location is closely related to the traditional concepts of the village.

This study has analyzed overseas projects of building rural communities using vacant houses. It is aimed at identifying the roles of NPO in the community-building projects and providing implications applicable to Korea. In recent years, there has been a spike in the number of vacant houses in rural areas. It is due to rapid urbanization and uneven distribution of the population across the country. Those are the reasons that prompted community-building projects. To solve the vacant house issue, there has been rising interest in building communities through vacant houses as rural resources and effectively integrating them as useful resources. However, the roles of key entity that pursues community-building projects using vacant houses have not been discussed sufficiently. Thus, this study deals with the 'Vacant House Recreation Project of NPO Corporation in Onomichi' in Hiroshima, Japan. Through the case study, the following are introduced as NPO's roles in community-building projects using vacant houses. First, pursuing promotion and attracting attention by making the utilization of vacant houses sensational; system improvement; offering information. Second, enhancing the perception of local residents by offering local services using vacant houses; offering community-building items. Third, forming a place of public discussion to solve conflicts during community-building projects using vacant houses; offering alternatives to building communities. Above all, such roles have led to the key status of NPO during its community-building projects using vacant houses. It offers the following implication for Korea: Future vacant house-related policies for rural revitalization should be done from community-building standpoint and include establishing the roles of NPO.

The graying of population is not only a significant problem in developing countries, but also in a small country which is passing industrialization and urbanization. Industrialization and urbanization has raised a number of nuclear family. Moreover, changes in the environment and development in science such as a medical development and improving standard of health and hygiene have raised an average life expectancy. Considering these factors, average age of population is going up continue. Developed countries such as Europe, US and Japan have already experienced the graying and some countries have entered aged society. Korea is expected to be reached post-aged society in 7 years which is faster than developed countries that started aging society earlier than Korea. The purpose of this study is a analysis of resident's opinions and preference and using space of elders facilities and seeking a plan to construct the facilities through suggesting standard of use space. Firstly, this report will classify current situation of spacial organization on elder facilities focusing on major sectors and will compare in size. Moreover, standard of area distribution through an analyzing characteristics of each spacial organization. Secondly, The report will compare and analyze between space and main traffic line through classifying traffic lines between staffs and residents of elder facilities and understanding characteristics and problems of each traffic line. Lastly, this will study perception and preference on staffs at elders facilities and middle old aged people who are potential demander, and compare between these people.

As a pre-step research to make land-use planning in the region level, this study aims to analyze some probability pattern representing transition probabilities from farmland to others using the sequential detailed digital land-use maps. Kinki and Chubu regions of Japan, which have Osaka and Nagoya cities as their center places respectively, were selected as test regions in this study. The 10m grid land-use maps for four time series at every 5 year from 1977 to 1992 were used. In this study, the regions were divided into three sub-areas 10km, 20km, and 30km according to distance from center cities, respectively. The correlation coefficient (CC) between sub-areas with same distance in the two regions was calculated to analyze whether or not the two regions have common points in the pattern of land-use conversion probability from farmland to other types. The probability distribution of the converted areas which were moved to the urbanized area (residential, commercial, industrial, road, park and public facility areas) was about $40{\sim}70%$ for both all periods and sub-areas. According to distance from city centers, the probability moved to the urbanized area was about 60% at 10km area, and 40% at the 30km area, which means that the values we decreased gradually, while in the case moved to the forest and the etc areas, the values were increased slightly. The CC analysis from the paddy field and the dry field to the others separately showed that there is high correlation in the probability pattern between the two regions.

이 연구는 농촌지역사회의 주민조직을 기반으로 하는 새로운 농촌지역개발추진정책 시스템(주민조직 기반형 농촌지역개발정책)을 구축하고자 하는 것으로, 현재까지 관행적으로 시행되고 있는 기존의 농촌 공간단위를 기반으로 하는 농촌지역개발시스템(공간 기반형 농촌지역개발정책)을 보완하거나 대체하는 데 목적이 있다. 특히 농촌 공간 기반형 정책의 근거 가설이라고 볼 수 있는 '농촌마을은 소우주이고, 농촌마을이 농촌지역을 대표한다는' 주장은 더 이상 유효하지 않다는 점을 강조하고자 한다. 농촌마을에 있어서의 경제적, 사회적 및 공간적인 공동성은 이미 약화되거나, 퇴색되고 있다. 또한 농촌공간 만을 주된 농촌지역개발의 정책대상으로 할 경우, 현시점에서 제기되는 새로운 정책수요와 정책 환경의 변화를 효과적으로 반영할 수 없다. 이 연구는 농촌공간을 기반으로 하는 정책이 아닌, 농촌지역사회의 주민조직을 기반으로 하는 정책을 추진하는 것이 필요하고 경우에 따라서는 더 바람직하다는 점을 지적하고 있다. 이러한 정책은 이미 EU의 대표적인 농촌개발정책인 리더프로그램이나 일본 등의 마을만들기 정책에서 시행되고 있으며, 많은 효과를 거두고 있고 현실적으로 주민참여를 가능하게 하는 프로그램으로 인식되고 있다. 주민조직체에 기초한 농촌지역개발정책시스템을 도입할 경우 다양한 조직체의 참신하고 전문적인 정책구상을 수용할 수 있고, 마을공간의 범위를 넘어선 농촌자원을 기초로 협력할 수 있는 정책추진 공간단위의 유연성을 아울러 가져올 수 있다. 여기서 제안하는 주민조직은 지역사회의 발전과 활성화를 위해서 계획의 수립, 실천 및 주민역량강화를 실제로 수행하는 기능을 담당하는 다양한 조직으로서 '주민협의회'로 명명하고, 주민협의회를 지원할 수 있는 중간조직을 만드는 것을 주 내용으로 하고 있다. 중간조직은 지역의 여건에 따라서 주민주도 또는 행정주도 등의 다양한 형태가 가능할 것으로 보인다.

The aim of this paper is to examine the demographic characteristics and the attitude about marriage and the policy of the unmarried male farmers. The contents of research are two folds: 1) Analyze the marriage related demographic statistics of rural area using the data from Korea Statistical Information System and marriage statistics in 2007, 2) survey analyses of the attitude toward marriage, perception and needs of international marriage, and related policies from data of 170 unmarried male farmers. The results are as follows: first, the marriage rates among over 15 years old of the rural area is 78.2% for men while 1.8% for 20${\sim}$24 age group and 9.3% for 25${\sim}$29 age group. The marriage rates in this area are varied by region especially low in Kyunggido & Jejudo. Second, the portion of international marriages of Korean male farmers with foreign partner are 11% among all international marriages of Korean males. There are high rates of male farmers' international marriage in Junranamdo and Kyungsangbukdo which are characterized by low level of urbanization, low inter-city mobility, low rates of age group of under 15 years and high portion of over age 65. Finally, the survey results showed that 83% of the sample lived with their parents; event though 80% of farmers think marriage is necessary, 60% had no plan of marriage because of difficulties to meet marriage partners and of lacking economic resources; they showed a negative perception toward the handicapped, foreigners, Afro-Americans, Westerners and divorcees as a marriage partner; they also showed negative recognition to international marriage because of observed problems of neighboring international marriage couples and concerns of cultural differences; they pointed out that the government's concern about improving quality of the environment of the rural area and reforming the international marriage aid law was the most necessary. The discussion and the future research directions were added.

선택적 집중과 총량적 경제논리에 기반한 거점도시 중심의 균형발전정책은 도시화를 촉진하며 인구유출, 고령화, 소득감소 등 농촌지역의 경쟁력을 약화시키는 요인으로 작용하였다. 이를 해소하기 위해 중앙정부 차원의 다양한 지원과 노력이 이어지고 있으나 하향식(Top-Down)에 의한 지원효과는 저조한 실정이다. 최근 농촌지역은 지역성과 정체성을 고려한 차별화된 맞춤형 정책의 요구가 높아지고 있으며, 이를 위한 지역 맞춤형 진단기술의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 농촌지역의 종합적 진단을 위해 선행연구에서 제시된 다양한 지표를 검토하고, 농촌지역의 특성을 확인할 수 있는 맞춤형 진단지표의 발굴을 연구의 목표로 설정하였다. 이를 위해, 농촌진단 관련 지표군(POOL)을 구축하고, 전문가 설문조사와 요인분석을 통해 우리나라 농촌지역의 특성에 맞는 진단지표를 선정하였다. 본 최근 정부정책의 화두인 '맞춤형 적정기술'의 적용성을 높이기 위한 농촌지역에 대한 진단도구로서 의미를 지닌다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of land-use and population change in rural area by new expressway. Chungbu expressway constructed in 1987, going through the south area of Kyunggi province from Seoul, was selected as a case expressway, and also 2 cities and 18 subdivisions of county in its surrounding area, as a case study area. To analyze the change characteristics before and after the construction, land-use maps of 1986 and 1996 were collected, including the census data for the years in cities and counties yearbooks. Remote sensing technology was applied to classify the land-use maps with six types of land use. Geographic information system was also used for spatial analysis, such as the land-use and accessibility changes. A 5 km buffer zone from interchange of the expressway showed about two times increase of urbanized built-up area than a 5 km buffer zone from the expressway. Accessibility from Seoul and cities was improved in most areas, which is accessing to Seoul through existing Youngdong expressway. Ten rural areas showed increased population with accessibility of average 52 minutes to Seoul and 19 minutes to cities, while eight areas showed decreased population with average 73 minutes to Seoul and 35 minutes to cities. This shows that the threshold value, which is time distance to Seoul and cities for population increase or decrease, one and half hours, respectively. Urbanized area was increased in most areas, even in population decrease areas, so this indicates that there are thinning rural areas, increasing urbanized area while decreasing population.
