Analysis of village development issues in regional online news media

The media and village development are two subjects that remain relevant and important to discuss. The article aimed to further examine village development issues in regional online news media. Suka (a fictitious name is adopted in this study to disguise the real name of the online news media), as a regional online news media, plays a strategic role in disseminating the regional government's agenda, helping monitor and evaluate regional policies, and providing information on the ideal village development measures. This study used a content analysis approach. The results of this study indicate that, in 2021, Suka reported seven news stories containing content with the keyword of village development. Those stories suggested four main issues of village development, namely sustainable village development, tourism village development, involvement of people with disabilities in village development, and the role of women and universities in village development. In these four main issues, a number of policy values in village development should be addressed by policymakers in formulating village development policies, namely integrated and sustainable development, utilization of local resources in development, along with increasing the role of the disabled people, women, and universities in village development.

Smart And Sustainable Indian Village - Urbanizing Achheja Buzurg

The 69% population of India lives in villages and 31% in urban areas. The population from villages is migrating towards urban areas in the view of quality education, infrastructure, employment, sophisticated life and modernized living. Also the villagers move towards the urbanization facing problems in transportation, insufficient water supply, poor drainage system and health related problems due to lack of sanitation. This could be prevented only when the villages are urbanized and the development of rural areas could be attained only when Aadarsh gram (ideal village) and Swaraj (self-reliance) are implemented as stated by Mahatma Gandhiji. The rural – urban gap was first addressed in India by Dr. Abdul kalam who framed a system of PURA (Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas) for urbanizing rural areas along with IIT(Indian Institute of Technology) professors in 2004. Based on this initiative, the Uttar Pradesh Government had proposed “Smart Village” in the area of NCR. This article narrates the urbanization of the village Accheja Buzurg in NCR (National Capital Region) located in Yamuna Expressway. The research paper further describes the transformation of the infrastructure and facilities using the schemes “I-SPARSH Yojana”, “Janeshwar Mishra Gram Yojana” and “I-CHAUPAL”. The village stands as an ideal as sustainable and smart in the YEIDA locality where the schemes are being implemented to other villages of Uttar Pradesh.

Management Motivation and Landscape Interpretation of the <italic>Geumcheon-Ggugok</italic> in Jinju

Background and objective: This study aimed to identify the management motivation of <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i>, located in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, which distinguishes it from other Gugok Gardens, and examine what characteristics and meaning it has in terms of landscape.Methods: The research method was a combination of literature analysis and field survey. Through analyses of old maps and literature, the establishment background and landscape elements of <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> were determined, and the changes from the original landscape were comparatively examined through field surveys. These field surveys were conducted a total of four times, and the changes and status of the <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> landscape were recorded with drawings and and photographs. Based on these, the landscape composition and characteristics of each <i>Gok</i> (area around a bend of meandering streams) were determined. Moreover, historical landscape relics including related pavilions and seowons (Confucian academies) distributed around <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> were surveyed and reflected in the study.Results: Boosa Seong Yeo-sin set a total of nine Goks (<i>Gugok</i>) along the Geumcheon Stream by matching the scenery of <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> with that of Zhuzi's <i>Mui-Gugok</i>. Boosa recited the inspiration felt in each Gok as <i>Gugoksi</i> poems, which reveal the various landscape elements that make up the traditional landscape in the scenery of <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i>. The total stream length of <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> is 14 km, making it one of the longest of the Gugok Gardens in Korea. The distance between each Gok is irregular, ranging from about 0.5-3.5 km, and the nine Goks were established in a top-down order according to the flow of the mountain streams. Boosa created Busajeongsa and Bangujeong Pavilions in Gok 7 and used them as a base for academic research. The original landscape of each Gok of <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> has been damaged over time and due to urbanization. By establishing and managing <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i>, Boosa sought to soothe the hearts of the people in the devastated village after the wars, and create an ideal place for life.Conclusion: What makes the management of <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> notably different from that of other Gugok Gardens is that it contains the idea of coexistence, "helping each other and living in harmony." Boosa developed <i>Dongyak</i> (village codes) as an institutional device to create an ideal village, and managed <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> as a public framework to realize this. He also installed libraries next to pavilions in <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i>, and operated an educational curriculum as a practical method to cultivate future talents. As such, Boosa's practice is the outcome of the idea of coexistence for everyone, not just one family or clan. <i>Geumcheon-Gugok</i> is a very valuable landscape relic as the only Gugok Garden managed by the orthodox Nammyeong School in the right region of Gyeongsang-do. However, since the original landscape is being damaged by rapid urbanization, a proper management plan should be sought.

„Мъртви души“ на Н. Гогол, „Годишните времена“ и митовете на руската монархия

The article discusses the existence of an unexplored ideological layer in the novel Dead Souls. The argumentation is based on tracing intertextual connections between Gogol’s novel and "the seasons” of the Russian monarchy with its scenarios and myths. The parallel “man/ruler – season” is used for analyzing the characters of Manilov and Korobochka and “the seasons” in their estates-visions of the state. The article also focuses on conceptualising Spring and Summer in the sentimental-romantic period, and in the Women’s kingdom and the Ideal village. The analysis confirms the existence of a conceptual layer in “Dead Souls” which is connected to the sentimental-romantic portrayal of the ruler’s power and its grotesque deformation.

Producing an ideal village: Imagined rurality, tourism and rural gentrification in China

As with its urban counterpart, rural gentrification has been identified in different countries and is argued to have gone global. This study focuses on rural gentrification in China and proposes a more comprehensive and context-specific “imagined rurality” to explain the motivation of gentrifiers and the government's involvement in the processes of rural gentrification. The imagined rurality is shaped by the popular discourse and the governments' vision of the rural and may be different in different contexts. Through scrutinizing the process of rural gentrification in Mingyue Village, China, this research finds that gentrifiers' relocation and investments to materialize and commodify their imagined rurality have triggered the development of tourism and rural gentrification. Besides the often-underscored land ownership, local governments have also played a key role as a gentrifying agent in advancing rural gentrification and rural tourism under the background of rural revitalization. It also reveals that the process of rural gentrification is not just influenced by urbanites' imagined rurality but also conditioned by the intertwined process of tourism development. This research contributes to both the rural gentrification literature and to the literature on rural restructuring and the notions of rurality in contemporary China.

Villages before houses? The neolithization of Europe reconsidered through the concept of the household

Since the 19th century, the Neolithic period has been conceived as an inevitable stage of the history of human societies in Europe, taking place between the wild times of predation and the industrial civilization contemporaneous to the first prehistorians. The house is a central element of this model considered as proof of sedentarity, the end of nomadism and the beginning of social construction with the hearth drawing the household together. The lack of documentation relative to the architecture of several large geographical and chronological chunks of Neolithic Europe compromised, for a long time, any serious consideration of settlements in discussions about the way Neolithic societies were constituted, while the primacy accorded to Economy in the definition of the Neolithic led to a disregard of the settlement, seen as a sign of the accomplishment of the neolithization process. The development of a sedentary way of life and the construction of perennial settlements are nevertheless the first signs of neolithization in the Middle-East and it is through structured village societies that this new way of life was disseminated to the Mediterranean shores. Taking into account settlements while discussing neolithization leads us to consider all dimensions of the process, and not only through the economic prism. It reveals that the neolithization process is not only the acquisition of farming and herding techniques, but also corresponds to the diffusion of an ideal village society, structured around exchange and a collective procurement of goods. Whether the first impacts of the Neolithic have been expressed by single emblematic tools, by domestic species, by ceramics and/or by long rectangular buildings, the neolithization process has only been fully accomplished when the model of the village society has been developed.

Gandhian Views and Concept of Ideal Village

Being a man of vision, Mahatma Gandhiji felt that the reconstruction of India lies in the overall development of the villages. Since India lives in villages, apart from his great concepts like swadeshi, Khadi and small cottage industries for his dreamy ideal village, Gandhiji felt that a good and healthy environment which encompasses health, sanitation and good, healthy food for the malnourished, underpriveleged countrymen of his, is a must and hence he thought of dietary solutions, through his idea and observation of good food and diet. Food is a matter of choice. We usually eat what we feel is best suited to have an adequate supply of energy and keep us healthy. But it rarely goes beyond that. For Gandhi, food was not something that just satiated hunger. It was an integral part of shaping the human consciousness which is why he carried out a number ofexperiments to find the perfect diet. Though Gandhi is associated with vegetarianism and milk, he actually abstained from milk for a period of six years, considering it an animal product.

Community Formation, ‘Ideal’ Villages and Watershed Development in Western India

This paper discusses how the vision of an ‘ideal village’ is used in the construction of feelings of community in a watershed development project in India. What constitutes the notion of idealness and how it emerges in a particular context is determined by a number of factors. The discussion of the working of two aspects of the project – voluntary labour and watershed-plus measures – brings out the usefulness of such a vision in community-formation, even though different actors involved in these aspects are also motivated by factors other than idealness. Further, the successful working of these aspects also indirectly re-enforces the notion of idealness, although critical engagement with it is sometimes limited by the focus on community-making.

The Ryukyu Islands Feng Shui Village Landscape

AbstractIn a typical Ryukyu "Feng Shui" village, a forest belt, known as village Ho:go, was planted to curve in the front and extend to the east and the west to embrace the village along with preserved forest on the rear hill. Lines of Fukugi trees (Garcinia subelliptica) were planted to embrace the houses. Compared to the more symbolic existence of Feng Shui trees in China and other regions in East Asia, tree planting on a large scale was used as a practical means to repair defective topography with little protection from the strict natural condition on Ryuku's flat islands. This study focuses on village layout, forest composition in the front forest belt, habitat embracing trees, and forest plantations on the back hill. Garcinia subelliptica and Calophyllum inophyllum are the predominant species in the upper storey in the forest belt. A large number of species are also found in the under storey vegetation in the preserved forest. Thus, a Ryukyu Feng Shui village landscape, which embodies a symbiosis of the nature and human intervention, provides an ideal village landscape pattern in the Ryukyu Islands.
