한국 마을만들기 및 관련 분야 연구 동향 분석

초록

This study systematically analyzes the research trends of South Korea's community-based local activation and its related policy fields from1996 to 2025. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset of 2,012 KCI-indexed papers across five domains—Maeul-mandeulgi, Village Community,Resident Autonomy, Social Economy, and Urban Regeneration—the research employs five indicators (Statutory Power, Agency, Locality,Self-reliance, and Performance) and four distinct development phases for analysis. The findings reveal three significant patterns. First, the 70%decrease in direct Maeul-mandeulgi research during the final phase is interpreted not as a decline but as diffusion: the Agency indicator (S2)remains above 50% across Social Economy (71.8%) and Village Community (47.9%), indicating that the core value of resident agency hasbeen internalized as a shared agenda across adjacent fields. Second, research paradigms shifted from physical improvement (Locality) towardinstitutional empowerment (Statutory Power), economic self-reliance, and performance management, with each field developing a distinctidentity through its own legislative milestones. Third, while cross-field integrated research accounts for only 3.9% of total papers, fieldpractice has already moved toward integrated operations, as seen in combined support centers established since 2015, suggesting that academicdiscourse has yet to adequately capture the convergence occurring at the neighborhood level.
