The paper studies the effectiveness and impact of Korea's official development assistance in the refugees' resettlement village between the Thailand-Myanmar border region. The research attempts to shed light on what changes occurred in the village after receiving the ODA(official development assistance). The paper suggests that it is important to study this development assistance project as it has been carried out in the resettlement community in the border area between two countries(Thailand and Myanmar), such as the village of Hta Law. Whereas the existing development assistance projects were carried out within the two-nation states' territories, the case of Hta law Village was conducted the ODA project in a blind spot and an exceptional zone. In addition, the project has its significance as the villagers are refugees, stateless persons, and internally displaced persons who are alienated from the nation-state. Those people live on the geographical frontier and the political edge where the development assistance has not paid much attention. As a result of the project progress, this development assistance project brought real effects on increasing the income of village households. Furthermore, the project has provided various educational programs to empower residents of the settlement community. Although it has made positive progress in the village, there is no follow-up project at the moment. In order to become an international model for sustainable development assistance projects, it is necessary to support with a long-term perspective.
