ABSTRACT
This paper has the aim to investigate the characteristics of Rural Settlement
Development Project (RSDP) as an integrated rural development program. For this,
the general characteristics of the RSDP have been surveyed and a case study of
the RSDP has been performed for Young-moon new village construction project. The
following points have become clear from the above investigations. The RSDP has
more stressed on the importance of the roles of the local government and the
residents than other local development projects. However, local governments'
roles and people's participation are limited. In this sense, the RSDP is a sort
of transitory one from the top-down to the bottom-up system.
