The Purpose of this research was to investigate the physical changes of village, the architectural changes of houses and to find out the resident's needs of housing in suburban rural houses. Samga 3 Ri, Yong-In, KyungKi-Do was chosen for this study. The previous research, conducted in 1987 by using a field survey method, was compared with this study. 1) The study showed that the physical changes of village include an increase in the number of rooms and nonagricultural population, and variety of house types. Therefore, social intimacy, reallocation of houses according to residents' occupations, and apartments for non-agricultural population should be considered in planning village. 2) It is found that the resident's needs were to increase the number of rooms, expansion of space, and to modernize kitchin systems. The investigation on newly constructed houses indicated that residents' needs were two-story houses, changes of spaces - the number of bathrooms, private bedroom adjacent to An-bang.

The rural population has been continuously decreased since the standards of living in rural communities is relatively lower than in urban. In other words, rural area has become less attractive for settlement. The concept of 'rural amenity' was introduced, to increase interests in the development of rural area. But, there has not been proper theories and methods to evaluate the amenity. In this study, rural amenity was classified and the elements of rural amenity was evaluated using statistical methods. The results of this study could be useful to assess the effects of the polices on improving rural amenities.

The forest of the Huaphanh Province (HP) has continued to decrease at 0.6% (10,560 ha) per year from 1992 to 2010. In the past few decades, the government of Laos and the Huaphanh Provincial Authority have been trying to address the root causes of deforestation. This study attempts to examine the factors effecting the decrease of the forest cover in the HP by analyzing the influence of the local socio-economic development and implementation of forest management policies on changes in the forest cover. The social data of the province focused on population growth and distribution between urban and rural areas including the number of poor people and the economic growth of three sectors, namely agriculture and forestry, industry, and service, while the implementation of the state forest management policy focused on the state forest management plan, tree plantation, forest land use planning and allocation to households, and shifting cultivation including annual upland rice and maize cultivation. In addition, government reports on socio-economic and rural development including poverty eradication of other provinces, where an increase in the forest cover was observed, were also collected and analyzed using qualitative and comparative analysis. The results from this study indicate that the decrease in forest cover in the Huaphanh Province appears to depend on a very slow economic growth and reduction in rural poverty of the province. The increase in the rural population in the province led to an increase in farm households and are as for shifting cultivation. As a result, forests were cleared leading to a decrease in the forest cover.

Although the majority of elderly are residentially stable, many western studies have recently reported that there has been a gradual growth of retirement migration. However, little is known about that in Korea. Therefore, this study intended to examine the trend and nature of elderly migration. For this purpose, inter- and intra-province migration among the aged 65 and over were analyzed, using the migration data of the Korea National Statistical Office, compiled from the 2000 and 2006 resident registration records. The results were as follows. First, there was an increase of elderly migrants to 531 thousand persons in 2006 from 383 thousand persons in 2000. Secondly, the migration rate of elderly has steadily grown with a 11.7% in 2000 and 12% in 2006. Also, the move of female among old population was active but this trend tended to decrease in 2006. Thirdly, the number of provinces which showed a positive net inter-province migration of old population increased from 7 provinces in 2000 to 8 provinces in 2006. Fourthly, we found that the destinations of elderly migrants were mostly neighboring province except the Chungnam, Jeonbuk, and Jeju. These results suggested that elderly migration would be expected to increase gradually and be important in the future of Korea.

이상에서 본 연구는 1960년 이후부터 1985년까지의 인구규모와 그 변동의 특질을 농촌에서 도시로의 인구이동현상과 관련하여 검토해 보았다. 아울러 분해시계열방법을 이용하여 농촌인구유출과 농정과의 관계도 고찰하였다. 그리고 적정모델을 추정하여 2,000년까지의 농촌 및 농가인구도 예측해 보았다. 결론적으로 말해서 인구구조의 변화측면에서 농촌인구와 농가인구는 1965년부터 감소하기 시작하여 1975년 이후부터 급격히 감소하였다. 농촌인구의 급격한 감소는 농촌 인구의 자연감소로 인한 요인보다는 도시로 유출되는 인구이동의 요인이 더 크게 작용한 것으로 나타났다. 농촌에서 도시로의 인구유출과정에서 유입지의 분포를 보면 도시지역 중에서 서울, 부산, 경기지역으로 인구가 집중한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 70년대에는 서울 부산 등 대도시 지역으로 직접적인 이동이 있었으나 80년대에 들어와서는 대도시 지역으로의 직접적인 유입보다는 주변지역으로의 유입이 점차 증가함으로써 농촌에서 대도시로의 유입형태가 주변도시로의 유입형태로 변화되고 있다. 농촌인구의 유출을 농업생산과 관련시켜 볼 때 농업노동력의 수요가 확대되는 6월 이후에 유출인구는 점차 줄어들고 있으며 3월에 가장 많이 유출하는 것으로 판명되었다. 60년대 이후 농업정책과 농촌인구의 유출과의 관계를 분석하기 위해 순환변동을 도출하였으며 2-3차 개발계획기간을 제외한 기간에 있어서 농촌부문의 상대적 저위성이 농촌인구의 유출을 자극한 요인으로 작용했으며 이러한 사실은 농업정책의 불균형적 시행이 직 간접적으로 영향을 미친 결과라 하겠다. 끝으로 농촌인구의 유출을 포함한 한국농업의 근본적인 문제는 도농간 상대적 소득 격차에 있다고 보고 농촌지역의 개발을 서울이나 수도권, 대도시권의 비대화를 막기 위한 방편 또는 공업화 우선정책의 반작용으로 본 과거의 정책성향을 극복해야 한다는 점이다. 따라서 도농간 소득격차의 문제를 농업정책의 중심과제로 삼고 농촌지역의 자원을 보다 효율적으로 이용함으로써 나라의 경제적 효율성은 물론 형평성을 높인다는 시각에서 농업정책을 다루어야 할 것이다.

Nepal has huge potential of hydro and other renewable energy resources including solar energy. However, only 70% of the total population have access to electricity despite the long history of hydropower development in the country. Still more than 37% population in rural areas and around 73% population in Karnali Province, one of the least developed provinces, are living without access to electricity despite taking several initiatives and implementing various policies by government supporting electrification in off-grid rural areas. Government together with donors and private sector has extensively been promoting the off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) echnology in un-electrified areas to increase electricity access. So far, more than 900,000 households in rural areas of Nepal are getting electricity from stand-alone solar PV systems. However, there are many challenges including financial, technical, institutional, and governance barriers in Nepal. This study based on extensive review of literatures and author's own long working experiences in renewable energy sector in Nepal, shares the best practices and lessons of off-grid solar PV for increasing access to electricity in rural areas of Nepal. This study suggests that flexible financial instruments, financial innovations, bundling of PV systems for concentrating energy loads, adopting standards process, local capacity building, and combination of technology, financing and institutional aspects are a key for enhancing effectiveness of solar PV technology in rural areas of Nepal.

The increase of the population has an effect on the increase of students. The high birthrate, which means the extension of enrollments in the future, requires preparation of enough facilities and equipment for education. However, the educational conditions of Korea are not yet developed, and in such a situation the increase of enrollments makes the improvement of educational conditions difficult. Besides, the influx of students into the large cities has made complex educational problems such as a decrease of students in the rural area and a change for the worse of the educational conditions in the urban area. For the development of education in such a situation, an emphasis should be put not only on security of a stable educational finance but also on activation of family planning project and curb of population influx into large cities in the realm of population policy. In addition, population education for the youth should be strengthened in order that they can have sound view of family life, married life, children, and sex moral. For the way the young married live has relationship with the number and quality of children in the future of our nation.

As the rural economy is worsening day by day due to rapidly declined population and increase of aging generation, the emptiness in the rural areas are becoming increasingly intensifying. In particular, urban runoff of young adults and middle-aged people and the decrease in birth rate have shrunk the rural population reaching to raise concerns on the stage of emptiness. On the other hand, people in the urban areas with rapid industrialization and overcrowding call for the variety of housing needs moving away from monolithic housing types. In order to solve problems of rural communities such as emptied out rural society as well as the problems of urban communities in overcrowdings, environment, and housing, it is required to develop an urban-countryside village complex pursuing advantages of the rural environment and convenience of urban living. Of this time, there needs a change in rural development policies which can make the urban residents migrate and settle in the rural areas as they are naturally embracing the rural life according to the social background and demand.

Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and the microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. It has been suggested that speed of sound (SOS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) of quantitative ultrasound sonography (QUS) may provide information about not only bone density but also the microarchitecture and elastic properties of bone. Physical inactivity reduced mechanical usage and it made process to the bone changes. This study aimed to association between the physical activity and the QUS parameters in 1305 (593 men, 712 women) aged 20 years over in a rural population. Two QUS parameters, BUA (p=.23) and SOS(p=.73) were measured at the right calcaneus of postmenopausal women, no significant associations were observed between sports index and SOS and BUA. These results suggest that work, non-sports leisure physical activity (p<.01) have a significant influence on QUS parameters in a rural population. Physical activity are meaningful predictor of QUS parameters of the calcaneus in a rural population.

This study investigates urbanization effect in warming trend of surface air temperature over Korea. The data used in this study consist of the daily minimum and maximum temperatures during the period of 32 years(1968-1999) from 16 stations of KMA. To calculate magnitude and trend of urbanization effect, stations were classified into urban and rural stations using population statistics. Urban stations were defined as those with population densities greater than 1000 persons per kilometer squared in 1995. The others were defined as rural stations. The urban stations were also subdivided into two groups according to their population totals. For estimates of urban effect magnitude, temperature change was calculated by comparing 16-year mean values between 1968-83 and 1984-99. Then, the difference between each urban station and every rural station was calculated. During the analysis period of 32 years, maximum temperature increase is $1.22^{\circ}C$. In the total temperature increase, urban effect is estimated by 28.7%. For minimum temperature, it becomes larger by about 10% than that in maximum temperature. Therefore, urban effect in an increasing trend of minimum temperature is 38.9% in the change of $1.13^{\circ}C$.
