This report is the second part of the study on the same topic published in May, 1979.
In this paper I attempt to observe actual conditions of leadership for the administration and agricultural technology in the rural areas, and to suggest a new direction of the Saemaul movement in the 1980's after the death of the late president Park Jeung Hee.
For the purpose, questionnaires were distributed to 600 rural residents in random sampling.
In the response to the questionnares, 91.5% of the questioned residents affirmed that they got a strong sense of "self reliance" through the Saemaul movement, but only 21.9% of them answered that could achieve their goal without government's support.
Also, the residents' adoptation of innovated agricultural technology was resulted from the encouragement of the Myun office and/or the agricultural guide more than from that of communication's mass media.
The new direction of Saemaul movement in 1980's can be suggested as follow:
1) Even in 1980's appropriate government's leadership will be required for the effective rural community development.
2) A demonstrative or false report to the government should be removed. Also, a
uniform plann which regard difference of varied areas should be revised.
3) The Saemaul movement should be cut off from the politics for popularity of the ruling party.
4) Different circumstances in different areas require different leadership; so, a variety of leaders should be raised in accordance with specific conditions.
5) The institute for training leaders should be organized and administered without political intervention.
