Purpose of Research
○This study aims to propose strategies for addressing the structural challenges that have accumulated in rural communities due to low fertility and rapid aging through resident-led initiatives and to establish an effective policy implementation framework at the eup–myeon (township) level. It begins from the recognition that complex problems such as the collapse of local living services and care gaps cannot be solved solely through the intervention of central or local governments. Instead, residents’ engagement and collective action must be positioned at the core of policy responses. By analyzing the formation and operational dynamics of resident practice organizations spontaneously created within eup–myeon communities, this study seeks to demonstrate their role in local problem-solving and to provide a rationale for reorganizing rural policy implementation around the township level.
