Abstract
   In this paper we noted that the most important approach to reviving farm villages is to acquire three types of intellectual abilities ― “natural,” “oral,” and “physical” ―as a way to rebuild production and improve the lifestyles of citizens. We also suggested that the government fully examine how to incorporate all these intellectual powers into a farm-village community. We believe this can be done by strengthening the community through real workshops referring to the current conditions in which workshops are losing their effect and are not functioning as motivational grounds to provide the necessary intellectual abilities.
   Furthermore, we indicated that one approach toward community rebuilding based on these three types of intellectual abilities is to go through five essential stages step by step: interest, participation, discovery, understanding and creation, and described a case of Y Community in M City which had been practically revived through employing the above five stages.
