Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of regional community identity. Although studies have been made on large distressed areas, there are no previous studies using a farming village as the unit of analysis. The subject of this paper, the k district, the main distressed area, did not adopt a networking strategy. Therefore the problem of unlawful dumping and RDF has not been faced in common with the other networks and the surrounding areas. If local problems had been faced through a common strategy, it is probable that the K area revitalization program that was promoted as part of a village image would not have occurred.
