Abstract
Current rural development polices in Korea consist of three programs, namely: integrated rural community development, rural tourism development, and community based industry development. Within these areas, national and local policies have often concentrated on trying to encourage ‘bottom-up’ development revolving around the commodification of cultural or amenity resources. In important ways, the three categories of rural development programs are more of a community development program than an economic development program. In Korea, it is true to say that governmental decisionmaking is slowly being influenced in terms of community, self-reliance and self-help, which are gradually creeping into the discussion on rural development. I suggest that the planning process itself had to include broad public participation and partnership and bottom-up approaches, not merely the product of a planning office or consulting firm.
한국의 농촌지역개발 정책은 종합농촌개발, 농촌관광개발, 향도산업개발의 세 가지 사업으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 방향에서 중앙정부와 지방정부는 농촌문화와 농촌어메니티와 연계된 상품화를 위한 상향식 개발방법을 촉진시키는데 초점을 두어왔다. 이상의 세 가지 농촌개발정책은 경제개발정책 이상의 지역사회개발정책에 초점을 두고있다. 정부는 농촌개발정책의 담론을 지역사회, 자료, 자립에 바탕을 두도록 느리지만 변화시키고 있다. 이러한 계획과정은 단순히 전문기간이나 컨설팅회사에 의해서가 아니라 더 넓은 공공참여, 파트너십, 상향식으로 이루어지도록 해야한다.
