This article is researched to analyze what kinds of projects were conducted by the special grant, the balanced development special account(BSDA), and the municipal projects in the case of Sangjucity and Seochengun, in the introduction time of the bock grants of BSDA and the municipal development plan in 2010. Furthermore this study presents the problems and the direction of improvement. For the territorial integration of a regional development in long-term, I suggest that the spacial grant and BSDA are necessary to be integrated because of ambiguous difference. And also the block grants of current 24 projects in 7 groups should be reclassified as the concept and the functional feature of pluralistic rural development.
