In this paper, I have studied a change in the cultural environments at a Lower Nakdong River Basin, Shin-ho-ri community. This region, still remaining as an underdeveloped area, has shown some traditional aspects of our local folklore ; for example, in communal festival for good harvest and fishing, oral literature is well preserved.
These aspects, however, have been disappeared rapidly by the reclamation and development of city planning. Several other problems make mater worse ; for one thing, vast emigeration from the village makes the preservation of local tradition more difficult. And villagers remaining tend not to pay their attentions to cultural relics. On the other hand, public servants who can lead general opinions are negligent of organizing any system to keep this tradition.
We can conclude, therefore, that mutual cooperation between officials and villagers should be strongly demanded to preserve these cultural heritages without further damages in developing this village. I'm sure it is necessary for them to keep this region as amicable cultural environments with concrete and sincere efforts.
