sectors and institutions involved in rural and agricultural development for the benefit of farmers
and agrarian businesses at rural and village level. The paper describes the main components of the
network: the web based information system, the rural communication network, and the mass

James F. Evans Collection, In: Gajendra Singh, J.H. de Goede, eds. Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 725-732., Rural development can be described as an integrated approach to improve the quality of life of the people in the rural community by means of not only physical development but also human resources development with a strong policy as a national program. In order to achieve rural development effectively, it is necessary to integrate every governmental agency and institution as well as civil organizations to focus their attention on all multi-dimensional elements for rural prosperity. In this point of view, the integrated rural development program in Korea called Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement), which is first priority of the national action program, will be suitable example for a case study to those who are interested in the field.

Notes:
James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., The purpose of the project is to strengthen the capability of a local government to be responsive to the nutrition needs of the community and, on the other hand, to heighten awareness and capability of the community to demand such services. There is a need for this kind of intervention in order to balance the weakness of the bureaucracy with the flexibility and self-interest of a community-based organization, on one hand; and the wavering sustainability of the community organization with the institutional mandate of the local government, on the other. The unique characteristic of this project is the partnership between the local government and the community which is hoped to develop responsiveness and self-reliance respectively. Target groups include community's formal and informal leaders who will be given a training and hands-on exercise on nutrition program management. The use of inter-active learning approach and development communication in nutrition education is a replication of a theorized experience. Success indicator is the realization of the objectives of the project jointly planned and implemented by the community-based organization and the local government.
