농촌 생활 개선은 대부분의 개발도상국 정부의 주요 정책 관심사로 남아 있다. 그러나 개발도상국들은 농촌개발정책을 시행하면서 농업생산성과 기술개발에 중점을 두었다. 본 논문은 한국의 농촌생활 개선 프로그램을 통해 구현되는 주요 과제를 파악하고, 제2차 세계대전 이후 에티오피아의 농촌개발 노력에 대해 설명하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이 자료는 한국에서의 집중적인 문헌 검토와 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 통해 생성되었다. 일반적으로 두 나라와 특히 그들의 시골 지역은 가난했고 처음에는 거의 비슷했다. 1960년대 이후 한국 농촌의 상황이 급변한 반면 에티오피아 농촌은 아직 큰 개선을 경험하지 못했다. 에티오피아에서 다양한 농촌 개발 노력이 이루어졌지만, 시간이 지남에 따라 서로 다른 정치 정권이 시행한 변덕스러운 정책들이 농촌 부문의 저조한 실적을 뒷받침하는 주요 요인 중 하나로 나타난다. 또한 우리 정부의 농촌개발정책은 처음부터 농촌생활 개선권뿐만 아니라 농업생산기반 개선에도 동등한 비중을 두고 있었지만, 에티오피아 농촌개발정책은 오히려 농촌생활 개선의 측면을 소홀히 하였다. 농업가공, 농촌관광, 비농업 고용기회를 통한 농촌경제 다변화는 우리나라의 농촌개발정책에서도 또 다른 우선분야였지만 에티오피오티아의 농촌개발정책에서는 그렇지 않았다. 우리는 에티오피아가 농촌 생활 개선 노력에 적응할 수 있는 몇 가지 교훈을 제안한다.

The demand of rural tourism industry has increased among the urbanites in South Korea, in due to the increase of leisure activity and the emergence of ageing society. Rural amenity resources are gaining various interests, in the value creation and promotion of tourism. In this study, the propensities of city dwellers were separated by life-style classification, and each affinity to the rural amenity resources was examined in accordance with the separation. A questionnaire survey of urbanites in the southern area of Gyeonggi-do, the most populous province in South Korea, was conducted to analyze the preference of city dwellers about rural amenity resource and life-style of themselves. For statistical verification, $IBM^{(R)}$ $SPSS^{(R)}$ Statistics 20 software was used for frequency, reliability, factor and multiple regression analysis of this research. The results of the statistical analyses found a noticeable characteristic in life-style classification. The affinities of urbanites can be classified into four congregations of life-style factors in this statistical model. Each congregation of the factors was named as 'Self-development-oriented', 'Leisure-oriented', 'Achievement-oriented', and 'Culture-oriented' life-style, to represent the characteristics for convenience' sake. Among these styles, only 'Self-development-oriented' and 'Achievement-oriented' showed the positive correlation with rural amenity resources in the multiple regression analysis. In addition, the rural amenity resources were also analyzed in accordance with the life-styles classification of urbanites. City dwellers showed the highest interest to the 'natural resource management facility resource' in natural resources, the 'traditional heritage resource' in cultural resources, and the 'community resource' in social resources. Meanwhile, they showed less interest to 'agricultural and scenery resources' in natural resources, 'specialty production resource' in cultural resources, and 'cooperative farming' in social resources. These characteristics can be constructed as meaning that the urbanites who concern self-development and achievement of their lives have high interest in rural amenity resources, and the main interest of them is not 'return-to-the-farm'(歸農) but 'return-to-the-home'(歸村).

Purpose: This study was done to identify effects of preparation for death and depression on geriatric quality of life in rural communities and to identify whether preparation for death has a moderating effect on the relationship between depression and geriatric quality of life. Methods: Data from 210 rural elders over 65 years of age were obtained through face-to-face interviews with the elders and were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 program. Results: Quality of life of elders who had prepared for death was lower than for elders who had not prepared for death. Elders with higher psychological preparation for death had a higher quality of life. Ritual preparation for death had negative effects but they were not statistically significant. Psychological preparation for death had a moderating effect on depression and quality of life for elders in the rural community. The explanation power was 36.1% while ritual preparation for death had no moderating effect on either depression or quality of life. Conclusions: It is necessary to provide rural elders with intervention programs designed to improve positive thinking and attitudes to living considering religion in the process. Intervention programs to improve psychological preparation for death are also required to alleviate depression.
