This paper aims to grasp the rural land use act system, find out its problems, and present the directions of improvement toward more effective rural land use and more systematical land use act system in Korea.
The study focuses on the following points; how the rural land use acts coped with the historical situations from 1945 to 1990, while the Five-years program for Economic Development starting from 1962, what the rural planning act system composed of in the national spatial planning act system, what the rural land use act system composed of in the integrated national land use act system, what the functional and objective system of the acts which related to land use composed of, and what the ministry which supervised the rural land use acts composed of.
The obtained several problems in the rural land use act system are summarized as follows; 1) rural land use act system is formed by the complicated and multiaspect structures, but not reasonable and systematic, 2) rural land use acts are treated indifferently comparing with the superior urban and industrial land use in the national land use act system, 3) the comprehensive and effective acts which related to rural and agricultural land use are not legislated and 4) the integrated planning acts which cover rural area are not completely equipped.
On the basis of the above results, it is necessary that rural land use act system should be improved for more effective rural land use and more systematical land use act system. The directions of improvement are summarized as follows; 1) to be in appropriate amendment towards effective and systematical national land use management system, 2) to keep the balance between rural and urban land uses in the national land use act system, 3) to legislate the Basic Agricultural Land Act or the Agricultural Land Act (a tentative act name) in order to manage comprehensive andreasonable agricultural land, and 4) to legislate the Integrated Rural Planning Act or Rural Planning Act (a tentativeact name) for the rural area.

In the paper, we state the concept of resource and localized resource, and define the localized agricultural and forestry resources as available goods and services for agriculture and forestry in specific region. And we classify functions of the localized agricultural and forestry resource, paying attention to two characteristics, non-rivalness and non-excludability of resource.
We take up the survey method, the voting method, the utility function method, the hedonic method and the travel cost method as the representaitive means evaluating benefits of the goods, which are difficult to measure by its market prices, and investigate theoretical backgrounds, availabilities and problems.
Finally, we apply the hedonic method to eveluate the social benefit of the localized agricultural and forestry resources such as paddy fields, ordinary fields and forest in the urban Kinki district. We adopt a model separating farm households from non-farm households to satisfy the assumption of homogeneity of the preferences, and test it by Chow test. We apply the SUR to estimate the hedonic price functions. The estimated net benefit turns out to be two trillion two hundred billion yen in 1985.

Recently, participatory planning and planning tools (techniques) have been developed in the field of rural planning. The purpose of this paper is to clear high applicability of Total Quality Control (TQC) methodolgy to participatory planning in order to advance the methodology of the rural planning.
At first, the several planning tools in participatory planning are reviewed, and those characteristics and roles in the planning process are discussed. Some problems are also pointed out.
Secondly, the methodology of problem-solving in the field of Quality Control (QC) is examined and its characteri-stics are discused. In Japan, QC was introduced into manufacturing industies after the World War II. After that, the QC activities have been spread over the various industries, and the TQC has been developed. Then the very practical and generalized methodology for problem-solving has been established in TQC.
At last, applicability of TQC's know-hows to the participatory planning is examined. Both the participatory planning in plan-making and 'QC cercle' in enterprises, that is a form of TQC activities, are based on 'small group activities'. The immediate purpose of both activities is to solve the facing problems and the final purpose is to develop their human capabilities. The roles of the tools of the both activities are almost the same. So, the author would like to assert that there is high applicability of TQC methodology and tools to participatory planning and that those TQC's know-hows must be available for advancing participatory planning methodology.
