Furthermore, we contemplate its meaning by analyzing program satisfaction of students and career interest in the agricultural and rural sectors, as well as the perception of the value of agricultural and rural jobs. In order to accomplish these research aims, a questionnaire survey targeting 591 students in the second grade of middle schools was carried out. Only 8.3% of students participated in the agricultural and rural programs. However, their satisfaction with the programs regarding career education was above average. Moreover, there was a small difference between the experienced and non-experienced students concerning career paths and jobs in the agricultural and rural sectors. As a result, it is hard to evaluate whether participation in the agricultural and rural programs influences student perception on agricultural and rural career paths in a positive way.

Key concepts of Place Experience and Sense of Place were adopted as an analytical framework to understand how the perception of the teachers about the agricultural and rural programs influences participation in the programs. In addition, the current circumstances of the agricultural and rural programs for the Free Semester were also identified by analysing the level of the teachers' satisfaction about the programs. As a result of the analysis, it was proved that the teachers' Place Experience(farming experience, agricultural and educational tourism) is relevent to the participation in the agricultural and rural programs. Some teachers who have a positive Sense of Place from experiencing the rural areas tend to participate in the agricultural and rural programs. The others who have a negative Place Identity for the rural areas avoid participating in the programs. With regard to the teachers' satisfaction about the programs, the teachers are generally staisfied with the programs. There were no satisfaction differences between the categories of 'Program' and 'Physical Environment', but a meaningful difference in the category of 'Career Education'. In particular, the programs of the farm households are fairly satisfying in terms of content, experiencing facility and instructor. However, they are less satisfactory in terms of the career education than the other two program supliers. In other words, the programs of the farm households do not meet the teachers' expectation about the career education. Therefore, the farm households are need to improve their contents for the career education.

This phenomenon shows distinctions from Florida's Creative Class who prefers cities with openness and diversities. Furthermore, they are expected to influence on local societies and economy within a local context. Culture and arts migrants have settled in rural areas of Jeju Island and directly influenced the transformation of rural images and the expansion of tourism spaces into rural areas through their activities such as creation work and exhibition, sales. In the process, rediscovery of village symbols and development of designed products through representation of the human and natural environment of the villages have contributed to village branding. In addition, such activities have also promoted the growth of the local tourism by influencing the growth and transformation of the Creative Class within Jeju Island.

In order to augment the research and the educational functions of the universities, new educational models for global education are urgently needed. This research proposed a new global education system development process for global education model construction and proliferation. In particular, this research included the study plan on a new
program that converged on/off-line education for overcoming the temporal, spatial, and economical limitations. In addition, this research proposed a proliferation method and discussed the research direction : how to apply the proposed model to universities’ education systems. From this research, we can provide a new method for the global education in elementary and secondary schools and universities. Also, we can contribute to the Edevelopment of global education in Korea as well as in local communities.

This urban-rural migration is characterized by region. On Jeju Island the number of Return Non-Farm Households provides the overwhelming majority, unlike other regions. This has partially been the result of the geographical location and tourism industry of Jeju Island. This migration tendency is causing a transformation in the rural space. Thus this paper aims to describe and determine how an increase in urban-rural migrants causes commodification of a rural-coastal village, both in terms of the reasons and the processes in order to understand rural spatial transformation by in-migrants. As a result, service activities by in-migrants in Woljeong village are associated with commodification of the village in terms of consumption of the village landscapes. This includes the ocean view and sales of farm lands and houses. Commodification of the village has overheated commercialization of the village space and competition in the same field of business. Finally, a spatial division between the existing ‘spatial practices’ of the village natives and the commercialized place of new stakeholders has occurred. This means that the rural space and identity have transformed in Woljeong-Ri.

This study aims to gain dues by inspecting charcoal production areas on the peninsula as a means to identify the form and structure of charcoal kilns on Jeju Island. The results are inconclusive at this point but the following findings summarized in the field research below do provide indicators. Baekgok-myeon, Jincheon-gun in Chungcheongbuk-do has been widely known as a charcoal producing area before the 1960s. 13 farms were producing oak charcoal within a certain scope of these areas at the point of research, and all farms, except for one, were producing black charcoal and selling it for multiple purposes nationwide. Charcoal kilns in Baekgok-myeon, Jincheon-gun can be referred to as improved forms that make charcoal year around by being installed within the parameters of certain types of areas. These charcoal kilns increased in size from those in the past with systems of mass production by connecting several charcoal kilns simultaneously. Compared to the past, what changed in the structures of charcoal kilns are furnace locations as well as the size and place of charcoal kilns, due to the modernization of inner and outer wall materials that support these charcoal kilns. Sangdong-eup, Yeongwol-gun in Gangwon-do is estimated as an area that mainly makes white charcoal. Due to the lack of relevant data, it is difficult to discuss in detail the actual quantitative conditions of charcoal producing farms in conjunction with their past/present changes within the scope of this research. However, given the information of charcoal kilns and charcoal production information farms researched, the size of charcoal kilns in Sangdong-eup, Yeongwol-gun had increased from the past, and there was a dear process of pursuing the mass production of charcoal by connecting several charcoal kilns as of late. This is sufficiently apparent in the case of the establishment of a modernized charcoal healing center used in combination with charcoal kilns, as well as in the case of white charcoal production farms in Sangdong-eup. Lastly, it is recommended to continue conducting comparative research between the peninsula and overseas areas to find the origins of charcoal kilns located on Jeju Island.

It focuses on how the associations function and contribute to regional development. The village of Shin Heung 2 Ri was selected as a case study. This village has a self-governing association named Ri-Assembly.
As well as being the endogenous self-governing association for shin Heung 2Ri, Ri-Assembly is also an adminitrative assistant agency. Even though being part of a lager administrative authority, Ri-Assembly has its own election system for leaders, decision making unit, management method and operational budget. It also has its own decision criteria in adoption
and implementation of regional developments.
Through three major regional development projects, Ri-Assembly has changed its roles and functions. The first was implemented during Sae Maul Movement in the 1970s. Around the same time, the Youth Union
of the village started to fuction as a sub-organization of Ri-Assembly and has become an educational institute for junior memebers of the assembly. The second project was a gol-course construction project in the 1990s; Re-Assembly represented the village community and negotiated with the prospective devoloper. Ri-Assembly successfully incorporated the community's demands into the negotiations. The third project in ongoing; Ri-Assembly is conducting the "Camellia Village Project". A special team was formed to plan various regional development projects. The special team participates in the decision making process of Ri-Assembly as a sub-organization.This sturcture has enable the local community to actively participated in community development projects. As a result, Ri-Assembly has become the main body through which community businesses can initiate various regional development projects to maintain and improve locals' lives.

of municipalities across the country. Since then, the quality of services provided to inhabitants by
the local government has declined in depopulated areas. As a result, it has been suggested that there
may be a role for self-organization in the revival of local governance.
In many depopulated areas, the distance between local government and the local community has continued to grow, and this has led to the newly established
local government transferring certain responsibilities to the local community. Consequently, the reorganization of the local community has become indispensable.
Kawane Village is located in the mountainous area of Akitakata City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. Despite having a rapidly aging population, this village has been
particularly successful in revitalizing local governance through reorganization of the local community. This research examines a variety of the community activites involved
, and the unique management methods behind them, in an attempt to ascertain the factors which have resulted in successful self-governance in this village.
Since its establishment in 1972, the Kawane Promotion Association has experienced three crucial turning points.
Initially, the Kawane Promotion Association, which had previously consisted of only a few households, encouraged every household in the village to become involved in the
organization of cultural activities. Since the 1980s, the Kawanae Promotion Association has begun to act as arepresntative for the local community, for example, in dealing with
local problems and in communicating with the local government. Finally, sice the 1990s, the Kawane Promotion Association has begun to manage private land resources and offer welfare
services to individuals. The Kawane Promotion Association has instigated the development of eight related departments that are responsible for specific tasks or activities.
This research shows that the success of the Kawane Promotion Association likes in its unique style of management, whereby there is no central authority; instead, decision-making powers
are transferred among unitis as required, ensuring full participation by local residents.

This study aims to identify the value of Gotjawal as a life-cultural space. This will be illustrated by tracing the locals' previous pasturing activities and the management of village common pastures. Cheongsu Village Common Pasture and Jeoji Village Common Pasture in Cheongsu-Jeoji Gotjawal area, which are the study areas, have been actively used by local farmhouses since the establishment of the pastures in 1930's. In particular cattle were significant means for agriculture and transportation methods in 1960's and 1970's. The farmhouses were needed to breed cattle as one of the main economic means. Pasturing cattle on the village common pastures has developed a unique ranching culture. Furthermore, cooperative work of these farmhouses were performed. These include the establishment of ponds for water supply and the preparation of hay. Ranching facilities for pasturing were built on village common pastures and still remain in Gotjawal area. This has been used in the understanding of the locals' lives in the mid-mountain area of Jeju Island.

In ： particular, the author analysed changes in rural area focusing on non-agricultural sector and local organization. Urban-to-rural migrants into rural Jeju have been causing increase in tourism business. Such an increase in tourism business caused increase in construction of service space and changes in land use. Meanwhile, the local organization formed by urban-to-rural migrants has differences in its members and its activities and implementing system of activities in comparison with those of native local organizations. The Seowgipo Rural Migrants Cooperative, which is the research target, has characters of urbanism even thoug it was formed in rural area.

Many of the rural tourism farm households have made the effort to attract the middle school students. The farm households' struggles to make difference from conventional tourism activities for the Transition Semester programs seem to empower themselves. However, there are still many obstacles to overcome. Apart from physical barriers, it is firstly necessary for the farm households to aware that the Transition Semester is for career education.
