Abstract
This research aims at clarifying the existing situation and the effect of residents’ participation in the operation of rural tourism project run by community, based on interview survey of the residents. Munhang was an experience destination established in 2002. As Munhang is on a tidal flat, the main experiential activities are clam digging, fishing, etc. The experience destination committee requests residents’ participation as agriculture and fisheries activities, parking management, and instructors for the project, and distributes a part of the business profits to all participating households. The project serves as community enterprise of Munhang. Now the experience based program is only clam digging in the summer, so development of various tourism businesses in which the residents’ can participate, is suggested.
