The main purpose of this study is to explore the factors that affect the transformation of over-depopulated rural villages. Specifically, we investigated the reasons of the rapid decrease in the number of over-populated rural villages shown by recent census data in spite of the continuing decrease of population in rural area. We used a binary-logit model and the Census of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries data(2010, 2015). The main results are summarized as followed: First, the over-depopulated rural villages with strong agronomic base are more likely to exit from over-depopulation. Second, returners from urban to rural have a positive impacts on the revival of over-depopulated rural areas. Thirds, improving the basic services accessibility of rural residents is also critical for keeping rural community more sustainable. These findings can be used to make effective strategies to revive the depopulated rural villages.

The rapid rural urban migration and aging has generated an over-depopulation problems in rural areas since the 1980s. The purpose of this study constructs the marginal size of rural over-depopulated village through the analysis of the residential disparities such as farmer's ratio, basic life service accessibility, and levels of social and economic factors for each village community. This marginal scale could support evaluating diverse rural policies, which have been planned to apply to the rural development programs at the village level. The major challenges for over-depopulated villages are the lack of basic facilities, production infrastructures and inactive communities in the village. Therefore, the quantitative analysis of rural residential disparities according to rural village scale can provide the criteria for rural over-depopulated villages. We utilized Korea Agricultural Survey Data(2010) including specific residential condition of village level. The present study adopt multinomial-logit model for quantitative analysis of different village scales and decomposition techniques to separate the direct effect by the village scale factor from the endowment effects by regional or area characteristics, and residual effect by unknown factors. The present study found that the minimum scale of a rural over-depopulated village was 40 and 60 houses for the respective conditions of farmer's ratios less than 50% and greater than 75%. It was concluded based on the study findings that threshold scale could support evaluating the diverse rural policies, which have been planned to apply to the rural development programs at the village level.

Using data sets for Japan as a whole, as arranged with approximately $10{\times}10$ km squares (a secondary grid), we investigated the relationship between population density and the habitats of threatened vascular plants listed in the Japanese Red Data Book; depopulated areas in the present and future, areas where under-use may be serious, and those with a predominance of elderly people; and the present state of the habitats in terms of a characteristic land use pattern. Regarding the habitats of threatened vascular plants, the progress of deterioration [$(N_{CR}+N_{EN})/(N_{CR}+N_{EN}+N_{VU})$] in depopulated areas has been confirmed, where $N_{CR}$, $N_{EN}$, and $N_{VU}$ are the numbers of species classified as critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable, respectively. Moreover, in grid squares used by a human such as farmland, the progress of the deterioration simply increases when population density becomes low. However, for many vascular plants, they are particularly endangered in populous areas. Local populations will decrease throughout Japan with the rate of depopulation in and around large cities being relatively slow. We also propose some issues that need further study. The deterioration by human activity may be reduced. On the other hand, some vascular plants may be adversely influenced by depopulation. Additionally, we should keep a close watch on grasslands and water areas in large cities to preserve vascular plants.

The purpose of this study is to derive implications by comparing the spatial distribution of each service facility per unit population(1,000 people) with population decline areas. For this purpose, major concepts such as living infrastructure services, Spatial Distribution of Rural Living Service Facilities, areas of declining population, and regional extinction were reviewed and trends in prior research. Based on the literature review, 'Spatial Distribution of Rural Living Service Facilities' analysis criteria were set, and it was derived by 'the number of facilities per 1,000 population by township' using population data and rural space data. And the trend of each service sector was identified and implications were derived with 89 cities and counties in 'depopulation areas' suggested by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. The derived implications are as follows. In the medical, leisure, and sports infrastructure sectors, 'rural areas with few service facilities per unit population' and 'depopulated areas' tended to coincide. In addition, the distribution characteristics of rural and urban areas differed by sector, which is judged to depend on the inclusion of rural facilities and population density.

The island areas have disadvantageous conditions compared to inland areas due to the characteristics which are separated, surrounded by seas, isolated. However, as the problems with separation that ultimately caused regional underdevelopment in island areas have been eased by the artificial works linking an island to land and the societal perspective on littoral districts has changed from productive view to consumptive view, the population trend in the island areas has been differentiated according to the regional conditions. But it is the reality that the population trend in the island areas has almost never been analyzed. In this regard, this study tried to analyze the overall demographic transition in eup/myon-level island areas and provide the basic data to establish flexibly and accurately regional development policies for island areas in rural As a result, as the regional conditions of island areas become more various, the potential and conditions of development have been differentiated and these trends will be more intensified. In response, the regional development policies for island areas in rural have to be reorganized actively.

Rural communities have been isolated from social and economic changes underway in the broader society. Trends towed an urbanized society have depopulated many rural areas (Flora, et al, 1992). The South Korean government has targeted efforts toward an urban centered economic development policy, which has neglected the rural areas. The South Korean government also has indoctrinated rural community development with a quick-fix approach. Self-directed economic organizations based in rural South Korea began to emerge in the late 1980s. Since the 1980s, South Korean agricultural sectors have been overshadowed by globalism. McMichael (1996) stated that rural communities have two options. A immunity should either End its niche (i.e. the commodities or products that can have advantages in the international trade market) or protest against globalism to survive if rural communities fail to find a niche under globalism. South Korean neat communities did not have enough natural resources nor enough money to invest for their rural community economic development programs. These limitations made it difficult for South Korean coral communities to compete in a global economic environment. Israel, Coleman, and Ilvento (1993) stated that local leadership is a critical component in the ability of communities to respond to lang-standing problems and emerging needs. Swinth and Alexander (1990) asserted that rural leaders are critical actors in rural community development. Whether rural communities succeed in finding their niche or not, the role of rural community leaders is important for rural communities to find ways to cope in the international agriculture market.

Purpose: This study explores how demographic transitions with workforce implications taking place in South Korea are affecting the job market, and proposes a novel conceptual model to analyze the increased role that migrant workers will play as the changes progress in the medium term. Research design, data and methodology: A qualitative approach based on the available published data is used in order to create a conceptual model that could be used to determine the order in which job sector strata will be gradually taken over by migrant workers, as the demographic transitions will create an increasing need for workforce reforms. Results: The study determines that migrant workers will replace domestic Korean workers in a stratified manner, initially in rural areas, followed by regional cities and then in the industrial areas on the edges of big cities, and the strata can be analyzed based on a proposed four-category model to determine where the opportunities will open. Conclusion: It is possible to use a conceptual model for this phenomenon. Extensive Government planning is needed to avoid possible social exclusion problems and to determine how to keep the economies of rural and regional Korean cities economically viable while they are becoming increasingly depopulated.

This study was carried out to find out the time-dependent change of central functions in the depopulated rural areas. Three county areas were selected for the case study ; Haenam(as a remote flat area), Goksung(as an intermediate mountainous area), and Hwasun(as a peri-urban area). For each district area administered by each county, service facilities stock was surveyed at both the present('02) and the past('89 or '94)time, and its functional index checked. From the study results, table-tennis rooms, oil shops and inns were ascertained to be disappeared now in the absolute or real terms, while beer halls, restaurants and bakeries to be sharply increased. Generally, in spite of the substantial depopulation in the past decade, service facilities stock has been increased in and concentrated to the highest order center of rural area (county office seated district). However, where this center leans to the outer side of its county area and to the opposite direction against the regional center, the dependent level of service function on the highest center have decreased.

본격적인 인구감소 시대에 들어선 가운데 지방 도시들은 사회적 인구 유입도 어려운 상황을 고려하여 생활인구 유도를 통한 도시 활력 증진을 모색할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 이동통신 빅데이터를 활용한 도시활력도 분석을 위해 인구감소 지역인 부산광역시 행정동을 대상으로 주민등록인구와 생활인구의 시공간 분포특성을 비교하였다. 다음으로 행정동을 인구증감의 변화 양상으로 유형화한 후, 도시쇠퇴 및 활력 관련 지표를 사용하여 유형별 지역 특성을 분석하였다. 시공간 분포특성 분석결과, 주민등록인구와 생활인구 밀도 분포패턴은 대체로 비슷한 패턴을 보였으나, 원도심 지역에서 주민등록인구 밀도가 낮으면서 생활인구 밀도가 높은 반대의 특성을 가지는 지역이 나타났다. 주민등록인구와 생활인구의 변화 양상은 상당한 차이를 보였으며, 주민등록인구는 밀도가 낮은 지역에서 인구가 감소하는 반면, 생활인구는 밀도가 높은 지역에서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 생활인구 감소 군집에 인접해서 인구증감의 지역 간 격자가 큰 군집이 나타나, 인구 밀도가 높은 지역에서 주변 지역에 생활인구가 확산하는 전이효과가 나타날 가능성을 시사했다. 유형화 결과, 주민등록인구가 감소하는 지역에서도 통근·통학 또는 방문으로 인한 활발한 인구 유입이 있었으며, 이러한 지역은 사업체 수의 증가를 유지하고 있어, 산업·경제적 성장이 존재함을 확인하였다. 다만 부산의 약 47% 행정동은 주민등록인구와 생활인구가 모두 감소하고 지역 쇠퇴가 진행되고 있었으며, 이러한 지역에 대해 우선적인 도시 활력 증진을 위한 노력이 필요하다. 본 연구는 교통과 통신의 발달로 인한 도시활동의 한계거리 증가와 이동량의 증가로 지역간 교류가 날로 확대되는 점을 고려해 주민등록인구뿐만 아니라 도시계획지표로서의 생활인구 데이터의 활용 필요성을 제시하였다.

시계열 자료의 분석은 분광대에 기초한 분석과는 달리 생태계의 동적특성 연구에 자주 이용되어왔다. 그러나 시계열 자료의 처리가 갖는 문제점과 대륙이나 전세계를 대상으로한 광역자료가 갖는 문제점에 대하여 해결방안을 제시한 연구는 미미하다. 이 연구에서는 광역 시계열 자료 분석의 특징들을 살펴본 후, 지역간 식생성장패턴의 차이와 검정자료 화보의 어려움을 지적하였다 이들 문제에 대한 해결방안으로 위도별 화상분할기법과 불변화소의 이용법을 제시하였다. 사례연구로 아시아지역의 일부를 대상으로 1982년에서 1993년까지의 AVHRR 자료를 이용하여 화상분류를 실시하였다. 불변화소들은 한 시점의 검정자료 정보를 다른 시점으로 확대 적용을 가능케하여, 다른 시점에 대해서도 충분한 양의 검정자료 정보를 확보할 수 있었으며, 위도별 화상분할을 통하여 지역간 식생성장패턴의 차이를 연구에 포함시킬 수 있었다. 퍼지화상분류를 통한 사례연구는 또한 인구밀집 지역에서의 삼림의 감소와 경작지의 증가 추세를 보여주었으며, 인구 희소지역에서의 반대패턴을 보여주었다.
