The folk villages have been supported with lots of policies by the government to conserve and to improve the environment since 2004. However, the villagers want some changes on the policies. This study is aiming for the analysis of the residential satisfaction of the Oeam folk villagers by surveying their opinion on the conservation policy and its defects. According to the survey, 78% of the village population have been living in Oeam folk village for more than 30 years and about 60% of the population is over 60 years-old. Also, about half of the villagers are occupied with agriculture. The residential satisfaction on the housing life(room, kitchen, toilet etc.) has shown an average value, however, younger generation showed a higher dissatisfaction rate. Also, the residential satisfaction on the supply policies is relatively lower than the average value. In conclusion, there could be a decline phenomenon in the village if the policies do not change. Therefore, the new policies should focus more on the villagers' convenience so that it invigorates the folk village and consequently conserve historical values of built environment.
