The objectives of this study were to compare multicultural society of urban areas and rural areas in Korea. USA immigration law permits permanent settlement but Korea immigration law prohibits permanent settlement. USA adopted the territorial principle but Korea adopted the personal(nationality) principle. So a large number of people immigrated and settled in USA and mass(collective) immigrants is usual in USA. But temporary immigration and individual immigrants is usual in Korea. And there are great differences between urban and rural areas in multicultural society in Korea. Temporary residence laborers and temporary residents are main cause of multicultural society in urban areas of Korea. But international marriage women immigrants are main cause of multicultural society in rural areas of Korea. So it is necessary to differentiate multicultural society policy according to areas and residents.
