Background & Purpose of Research
The Second Mountain Village Development Project and the Rural Development Project require the implementation of regional customized policies considering the geographical characteristics of Korea's mountain villages. But because of
various geographical and social conditions in the mountainous regions, it is difficult to implement customized policies to suit the circumstances. So a detailed classification of mountain areas is needed to establish a rational regional policy. The purpose of this study is to classify the mountain village areas considering the mountain topography and population, the location of the municipality and the location of surrounding villages, and to suggest a customized mountain village policy through type classification.
Method of Research
The characteristics of the mountain village areas are divided into the characteristics of mountainous terrain, the spatial linkage characteristics of the municipal and suburban areas, and the population and socioeconomic characteristics. Through the literature survey, we identify the process by which these characteristics are different in the mountain villages and draw the characteristics of each category.
To summarize the regional characteristics, we use the factoMineR package in the R environment to obtain the principal components through the PCA command and perform HCPC cluster analysis. Before applying the customized policy according to the type, the characteristics of the new mountain village type classification were derived from the ancillary materials.
Research Results and Implications
In order to maximize the characteristics of the mountain villages in various situations by region, we classified the mountain village types by combining the analysis results of the mountain village characteristics on the xyz axis. The mountain village types are divided into 36 + 1 clusters by combining 3 population change clusters, 4 mountain clusters, 3 locality centric clusters and island. A total of 466 mountain village areas consist of 452 land areas and 14 islands.
These mountain village types have the advantage of elaborating the policy object. Five policy areas are derived based on the mountain village types. Type A requires a policy for supporting urban people's settlement in mountain villages. Type B requires a policy for shrinking mountain villages. Type C requires a forest healing recreation policy for townspeople. Type D requires a policy for scaling up eups (towns) and myeons (townships). Type E requires a policy for restoring eco-networks. These five policy areas are linked to the Second Mountain Village Development Project and the Rural Development Project.
