This study is on the evaluation methods of rural designs. For this, the concept of rural design and theories on subjective temporal characteristics were identified in the theoretical considerations. The characteristics of subjective time are the psychological processes of visitors found in the need of research, and change in emotions were identified linked with the flow of time to understand repeated psychological processes such as emotional experiences and psychological changes, positive attitude formed through psychological exchanges, etc. with the correlation with satisfaction according to the change of time.
Next, in order to identify research trends related to this study, trends related to design research, rural resource systematization classification trends, research trends related to agriculture and design, and evaluation trends related to rural policy projects were identified. First, in trends related to design research, research documents on design were organized and the categories were classified. Second, in the rural resource systemization classification trends, the existing rural resources were reorganized through systematic classification. Third, in research trends related to agriculture and design, existing agricultural design fields were classified per design category and rural resource systemization classification, and the agricultural research sector was classified per sector, method and contents to identify research trends. Lastly, evaluation trends related to rural policy projects were identified to understand the flow of rural policy evaluations.
In order to develop the rural design evaluation method, rural design evaluation factors were extracted and satisfaction evaluation formulas linked to time were arranged to propose rural design evaluation methods. A total of 13 rural design evaluation elements were extracted for this, and they are functionality (usability), local identify (culture), aesthetics, scenery, accessibility, utilization, pleasantness (comfort), safety, education, sustainability (maintenance), community, constructability (facilities), and integration. The relationship of rural design evaluation elements and design categories were identified to organize each element corresponding to style, service and system with a Venn diagram. Based on this, satisfaction evaluation formulas were combined connected to rural design evaluation elements and time to compare and evaluate each town more easily and independently than by evaluating through an institute, and to propose an evaluation method that can be used as a self-evaluation index needed for setting goals, etc.
The developed rural design evaluation methods were used to comprise the rural experience evaluation team and values found through experiences in two rural experience towns were applied to the formula. In result, it was possible to generally digitize experiences at rural experience towns by linking with rural design elements, and was used to make it possible to compare towns.
