The Promoting Body and Organization Foundation of Saemaul Undong in the Pungdeok Village

This paper discussed the promoting body and organization foundation of Saemaul Undong in Pungdeok Village and their limitation. In 1973, Pungdeok Village in Chungcheongbuk-do became a self-sufficient village, and Lee sae-young was chosen as their outstanding Saemaul Leader. What need to be concerned is that, the structure of the village played an important role together with the support of the government. After liberation, an enlightenment organization was founded by young people of Pungdeok Village. They carried out a series of activities to promote their village. Finally, their organization became the main force of the municipality. Apart from these young leaders, the villagers in Pungdeok also promoted their village, they all took an active part in the Saemaul Undong. Jinandaegun clan of the Jeonju Lee family have been living in Pungdeok Village for generations and the Pangpongrim gye still exists until now. During the initial stage of the foundation, the purpose was protecting villagers and ensuring their assets could appreciate. In addition, this organization made them working together to develop their village. The Pungdeok’s villagers worked for their hamlet spontaneously before Saemaul Undong. The government have generally given high marks on the development and potential of Pungdeok Village. With the supports of the government, Pungdeok Village became a self-sufficient village in 1973. In 1972, Lee sae-young was appointed as the secretary of the community development contract commanding the comprehensive plan of the Saemaul Undong. He became the key to the conflict resolution and mediation, the villagers got so much motivation from his guidance. The government attempted to let these leaders be the main force of Saemaul Undong. Before Pungdeok Village became a self-sufficient village in 1973, the social economicburden increased since the huge amount of work of this project and farm work was almost delayed. Some villager hold different views when Lee sae-young was awarded by the government. Therefor the good relationship between villagers was affected. Villagers express themselves in their own ways by affecting leaders of village like Lee sae-young i.e. sometimes utilizing the influence and leadership of Lee sae-young and sometimes push him out. Although Pungdeok Village is a self-sufficient village, only environment improvement was attempted but increasing the income of villager was not achieved.
