Abstract: The major purposes of this study are cD to explain the major factors of social change, (2) to investigate the trend of social change, and 3 to suggest the prospect of the social change, in rural Korea. The sociological theory of social change can be classified into four major perspectives: functional, Marxian, interactionist, and human ecological perspective. Based on the investigation of the previous studies and sociological perspectives of social change, the major factors of social change in rural Korea were divided into five: industrialization, urbanization, the change of social values and consciousness, informatization, and globalization. The trend and prospect of social change in rural Korea was investigated in terms of four parts: population, family, economic activity, and community structure.
