With the introduction of block grant system in South-Korea, the importance of autonomy and responsibility of local governments are being emphasized. The demand for the development of rural area, which accords with regional characteristics, is increasing rather than uniform type development, which ignores the regional characteristics. Because territorial characteristics are, in general, different among territories even within a local government, differentiated rural development strategies among territories need to be established. For this purpose, firstly theoretical background of territory-specialized rural development is reviewed and indicators for measuring the regional characteristics are developed. With this thesis, territorial characteristics in case of the County Jangseong in South-Korea has been reviewed and suggested basic guidelines, strategies and projects of territory-specialized rural developments of this County.
