農村 分散마을의 汚水處理 改善方案 硏究 = Study on the Improvement of Wastewater Treatment for the Scattered Communities in Rural Areas

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most rural communities are small in scale and widely scattered over large area. Surrounding area of these communities provides comforts to people living in both rural and urban area, and can be used as natural systems for waste water treatment. In this study, the use of rural areas as waste water treatment systems was investigated through evaluating treatment facilities currently operate, based on field trips and literature.
Small scale treatment systems are considered appropriate n rural communities in terms of construction and maintenance costs. In addition, rural area includes forests, wetlands, and agricultural land which can be used as natural systems for waste water treatment. When the natural systems are implemented and appropriate guidelines are provided, rural residences can operate the treatment system without much help from experts. It is desirable to employ natural systems using agricultural land for waste water treatment to protect water quality in rural area.
