Author(s): Sangyoung Rhee, Sangbum Kim

The aim of this study is to suggest how we can preserve and manage the rural resource information efficiently to maintain sustainable rural development. Rural resource information system consists of survey, database and management system.

Survey: We used GPS to get point data. We used PDA and laptop to increase mobility. Database: It is composed of characters like scale, form, location, distance, resident's opinion and image of 37 resources. We applied survey system in 170 districts and got a total of 12,270 resources data. Management: It should be easy to input and output surveyed information and to get reports in any form (e.g., final result can be produced as a map). And we made a simulation to compare the target area's before and afterward. As a result, the system not only saved money but also saved time and minimized errors by simplifying the work.
