Along with the rapid growth of Korean economy, the gap between urban and rural societies is being expanded gradually in economic, cultural and social fields.
Most intellectuals and the rich are concentrating to cieties from rural communities, so it is inevitable that the ignorant and the poor are remaining in the rural area. And yet, the life of the cities is becoming instability and unhealthy, because of confusion, slum and pollution caused by disordered expanding of urbanization.
Therefore, it is a important task to keep the balanced development of rural with cities.
A survey of Korean rural people sugests following needs ;
a. To increase the income of rural people by developing the agriculture and industry in rural area. i. e. Industrialization of rural areas.
b. To expect convenient living in rural area as well as in the urban life. i. e. Functional urbanization in the rural area.
c. To maintain the superiority of rural area, that is sunlights, fresh air, green field, i. e. Gardening society.
The desires of people in rural area are accelerated by advancing educational level of rural people.
I propose that the basic model of rural community development should be developed to the industrialization, functional urbanization and gardening society.
However, it is necessary for the government, rural people, autherities concerned and university to corporate together, due to the lack of funds, technics, and abilities to develop rural area.
I also propose that basic model of rural community development be approached through community development, because of community development is action programme of common-action society and integrated programme for improving all aspects of rural life.
