  • Cao Thị Hải Bắc

Abstract

In the past five years, the movement of building and developing a new rural is particularly interested in Vietnam. The approval of the Prime Minister of the National Target Programme on new rural period of 2010 - 2020 clearly reflected Vietnam‘s determination to improve living conditions in rural areas in order to make a balanced development between urban and rural areas as well as maintaining the sustainable development of Vietnam. In this process, Vietnam will not be successful without learning experiences from other countries in the world. Because of having many similarities about history, culture as well as the new rural development context, Vietnam is particularly interested in applying the new village development model of South Korea on the building of a new rural. However, the academic research to learn about the new village movement of Korea in order to draw lessons for Vietnam is not only limited in quantity but also has not been fully and objectively assessed. Therefore, most of those studies have not shown a proper methodology which is suitable for building a new rural in Vietnam. Considering these limitations, this article will assess the movement new villages of Korea with a critique view, notably by considering all the factors of success and the limitations of this movement. Since then, the article will indicate a proper methodology for the development of new rural areas in Vietnam from the experience of South Korea.
