On coming knowledge-based society, the rural socio-economy might adapt to the new environment for a sustainable development. The communication structure and the distribution of information have changed in the knowledge-based society. The structural changes in generation, distribution and utilization of knowledge would impact on the rural socio-economy structure and its conduct and performance.
It is important to search sound answers for the sustainable development of the rural society with prospects on the knowledge-based society. We would explore and present policy direction and strategies for the development of rural economy under the knowledge-based society through analyzing and forecasting environments of knowledge-based economy in the rural area. Major tasks for development of rural economy would be summarized as followings;
First, constructing knowledge network among related activities in the rural society should be promoted to innovate the economic activities with learning by communicating. Second, infrastructure of information and telecommunication in the rural area would be supplemented for the ubiquitous society. BcN (Broadband convergence network), USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) should be provided, and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and USN should be standardized for the improvement of inter-area utilization. Third, economic activities utilizing u-IT would be promoted. Bi-communication and u-commerce with Web 2.0 will facilitate famers’accessibility to u-IT and enhance their economic opportunities. Fourth, the social safety network should be provided to reduce digital divides between the rural and the urban. Especially, enhancing ability of the rural resident to utilize and apply information and knowledge is important. In the rural area, substantial education system and convenient apparatus for the aged residents about IT should be contrived and provided.
