Purpose of Research
○Rural areas have recently shown various social, economic and spatial changes that cannot be classified either as typically urban or as rural characteristics in terms of residence types, industry, lifestyle and community. Regarding the people’s perception of residence, new local identities that are not typically urban or rural are being formed, and it is found that more and more people are considering harmonious development of urban and rural areas as the desirable direction for rural development. However, the Korean government’s policy support is excluding local areas that show the new changes due to limited urban or rural policies in the perception of the changes that result from the overlapping and convergence of urban and rural areas, and in methods for systematic management and development. In this situation, it is necessary to intensively examine the phenomenon of “rurbanization,” which means changes that show the overlapping of rural and urban characteristics.
○This study aims to derive the effects of this new social, economic and spatial phenomenon on rural transformations and factors in the phenomenon; and to identify the present state of “rurbanization of rural areas” among diverse changes in the areas by conceptualizing it. Also, the study presents development tasks for responding to the phenomenon.
