Even though many people were interested in amenity, the movement or practice of amenity in Korea was still as its in infancy stage. This paper was an exploratory study of amenity and paving the way for further studies on amenity in Korea. The objectives of this study were 1) to explore the philosophical background, origin and history, and classification of amenity, 2) and decide on future course of using amenity for rural viability.
