Abstract

This article concerns the effect on women`s life according to the change of the village. Furthermore, it examines the connection between changed women`s life and village culture. Although this village, the research field, was considered as a traditional village having Confucian values, going through megaevents such as the ‘Saemaeul’ Movement in 1970s and the Asian Games, the Olympic Games, and the National Games in 1980s, women could engage in the activities of community. It means that women had a opportunity to enlarge the range of their lives beyond closed everyday lives. After challenging, women have conformed to a patriarchal system but at the same time they have identified themselves as members of the community by participating voluntary works beyond national mobilization. Their voluntary works also were extended as a social welfare. Citizens became engaging these activities and this tendency was accelerated when new towns were created in this area. A woman, Changhee Kim, refers herself as a volunteer in ‘Yeonsu’(She identifies herself as) neither a wife nor a women`s association president. Thus, the concept of the village that the woman has focused on was getting larger from ‘Ok-gol’ village to ‘Yeonsu’, a relatively broader region.
