The purpose of this thesis is on presenting right rural development method by grasping the reality of social capital through the typification. I approached this thesis by expressing possibility of various relation after grasping trust and network, the core of social capital.
Here, trust is operated by the principle of the reciprocity, embeddedness, and intersubjectivity and network is characterized by the principle of homophily, habitus, discrimination and exclusion. Therefore we have to understand first the relation of trust and network being operated by different principle.
Trust and network have the field and vector of force. The field of trust and network may have the same vector of force and some different vector of force. But the field of trust and network may have the opposite vector of force. When trust and network have the different or opposite field and vector of force, the synergy of trust and network have to be countervailed though opulent.
On the basis of this knowledge, if we set cross network-axis on trust axis, we derive four type from building unique field. That is, type-Ⅰ: trust(+)․network(+), type-Ⅱ: trust(+)․network(-), type-Ⅲ: trust(-)․network(+), type-Ⅳ: trust(-)․network(-).
However, social capital isn’t tied up by four-type. They dynamically transform one type into other type depending on time and space. I reviewed how social capital of rural village is spreaded on the basis of this basic knowledge.
I focused on understanding that there is the base of much more social-capital in rural village than other region: that is relational resources like a cooperative farming team, an exchange of labor and rotating savings and credit association spreaded thickly on life and economy region and so much of rural village.
But this relational way is disconstructed or disappeared by the rapid decrease of population and change of producing method and so on in the vortex of industrialization, urbanization and globalization.
The exhaustion of social capital of rural village connected to the problem of deepening economic polarization, downing quality of life and weakening of agriculture and rural function .
On this way, the restructuring of rural village appear as the most important thing. As usual, relational resources like a cooperative farming team, an exchange of labor and rotating savings and credit associations are incorporated on being disappeared among coordination process of relation through convergence and divergence principle. And village community has to be restructured by rebuilding trust and network. Today, this is the reality of rural social capital.
So I tried to search the characteristic of the social capital of Korean rural village. Namely, I applied four type made by trust and network index to 15 Korean rural village. And I verified the characteristic of four type through quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method approaches. In result, I achieved to objectively understand the characteristic of the social capital of Korean rural village. As well, I derived some kinds of proposition to explain the social capital characteristic of Korean rural village. It is summarized subsequently.
□ Proposition1 : The longer the residence period of village inhabitants is, the higher the network level of rural village is.
□ Proposition2 : The higher the information level of village inhabitants is, the higher the network level of rural village is.
□ Proposition3 : The higher the income level of village inhabitants is, the higher the trust level of rural village is.
□ Proposition4 : The higher the income level of village inhabitants is, the higher the network level of rural village is.
□ Proposition5 : The lower the level of village characteristic1(the aged ratio more than 65)is, the higher the trust level of rural village is.
□ Proposition6 : The lower the level of village characteristic1(the aged ratio more than 65)is, the stronger the network level of rural village is.
□ Proposition7 : The higher the trust level of rural village is, the higher the network level of rural village is.
Only, there are limits to generalize these propositions because of the research result of restricted cases. But if these propositions are organized well, they are worthy of making the restructuring index of the social capital of rural village.
In the future, if anyone refines the theory framework and methodology of the social capital of rural village, he contributes to lead to progress the restructuring of rural village by understanding definitely the reality of social capital.
