Although unfamiliar concept of Eochongye to the urban people, the fishing village fraternity is the smallest organization in the fishing village. When we focus on the concept of "system (契) 'in terms of EoChongye, it seems like very old and traditional concepts. However, that is the lowest unit of National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives (so called SuhYup). This thesis studies the fishing village fraternity with fisheries in the metropolitan area. The paper is also focused on EoChongye’s past and present conditions, cultural tourism, group workings, fishing techniques and fishermen’s daily life to review the origin of village name, history, and natural environment. This study investigates the characteristics of EoChongye on the fishermen’s daily life which has been excluded from the discussion of the EoChongye in the recent studies. First of all, I examine the trend of the previous researches for EoChongye. Referring to the literatures and field studies, this paper also considers the locality, local culture and the fishermen’s daily life of the fishing village fraternity in the metropolitan areas. Finally, I want to revitalize the EoChongye as new cultural contents and regional resources. My study finds that there are many things to develop and improve the fishing culture resources. Each EoChongye should build up a story of cultural resources with well-known regional products which has been acknowledged in the market. Furthermore, the fishing people ought to introduce the specialties and characteristics of the region throughout organized festivals. To utilize the story of the fishing village cultures, the name of the village, natural environmental resources and the history of the region should be used to enhance the identity formation of the community as educational resources. As a result, the fishing village fraternity should adjust the changes of the external environments to develop better community cultures with educational fundamentals.
