○ In 2021, Jeollabuk-do came up with a plan on how to revitalizing rural areas by ‘relational population’: a population is related with regions in a variety of ways. The plan included 1) coexistence civilization, rural-urban linkage, 2) becoming the urban dweller’s area of interest, their participation into enhancing the quality of rural areas, 3) providing information tailored to the interests of city residents. 

○ Because the plan focuses on building the relation between the urban population and rural regions, it is not sufficient to deeply develop the city residents’ interest and participation in rural communities. It proposed the second plan which is divided into three steps: ‘building the relation,’ ‘developing the relation,’ and ‘activating the relation.’

○ ‘Building the relation’ is city people’s the first relation with rural regions through rural tours, rural experience, rural-urban exchange, and so on. 

○ The next, ‘developing the relation’ is city people’s involvement in the relation with rural areas, including living in Jeonbuk, worcation in Jeonbuk, establishing a relationship with hometown-loving donators, and so on. For example, 'worcation in Jeonbuk' would offer city residents a complex space for working, taking a rest, and sightseeing.
