By developing this, the final five service directions for ‘Air care service’, ‘Self-driving garbage collection and treatment service’, ‘Emergency/disaster networking service’, ‘Contaminant removal service’ and ‘Mobility share service’ were derived and presented according to each key keyword. This study is not just a study to grasp the actual conditions of the rural residential environment, but it focuses on the lives and experiences of rural residents and extracts elements that can respond to changes in the lifestyles and patterns of the residents.
