Dosan Ahn Chang-h0 was a politician who had devoted his life to the independence movement of the people under the oppression of Japan. He was a thinker who had great ability in administration and an idea of national salvation for the permanent prosperity of the Korean people. Especially he was a man of thought and practice with all his heart to national education in Korea. He thought that the powerlessness of the people had caused the country to fall and that it was impossible for our nation to become independent and prosperous without power. Therefore to develop the fundamental power of the people and to strive for unity is ‘the basis of’ his independence movernent. Particularly he fel t keenly the necessity of the fundamental idea of national salvation and built many times the independence movement base in foreign coun-tries. It was a long term plan preparing. for the independence struggle with military officer’s training school. It was for building up the economic and educational base of compatriots in foreign countries and for leading the almost permanent safe life in the Shelter regions ‘where’ independence patriots were roaming. Here, he would train the national power through education in many fields, training talents, economy, military, art and science. This was called the Model Village, fundamental base of the independence movement. He tried to carry out the plan centering around China, from North Manchuria to Wha-book and Wha-nam in China as the proposed site. In 1932 he was arrested by the Japanese police, and built the model villages near P’yang to renovate Korea but they didn’t come true. But first of all, the Model Village Movement was the half-permanent base of life of compatriots in foreign countries, secondary, it was the training base of talents, thirdly it was an educational movement of the local plan which they tried to extend across the nation to form the modern community, He built up the comfortable model villages combined with various social functions, and he tried to renovate Korea. From the keynote of the comfortable Model Village it is in touch with the Saemaul Movement. It was the cultivation movement for developing social various fields to train the leadership which is necessary to the village community with building up the collective village aiming at the development of education and economy. So we can say that the Saemaul Movement is the realization of the idea of the Model Village. The Saemaul Movement rests on three bases of spiritual development of the people; the betterment of living attitude, industrialization through the economic and social development to lead the rational and cultural life. On the contrary the Model Village Movement was the social education movement to extend effectively, which people with the sane and sound mind, as the conscious factor of the people (spirit development), cooperate with each other, going through the rational farming and vocational life (economic development). and rational life showing that the community enjoys a cultural sense of welfare’ (social development). Especially the kernel of the Model, Village was for training men of ability in vocational schools. He prospected the new history created by renovating human spirit. and human attitude with the rational reconstruction or social development. Hetook a serious view of human factors bydeveloping history rather than by changing political and social organization. Then it will be his excellent methodology, and coincide with the position of scholarswho have discussed modernization and social development, stressing the human. factor by developing society. Therefore the Model Village Movement, social development movement which has. attached importance to talents, training will be high estimated now. It will be developed and succeeded by the Saemaul Movement, which is the idea of promoting the country in our history.
