Research

In response to social, economic, and cultural shifts arising from Jeju's population growth, efforts were made to facilitate smooth settlement and foster integration between newcomers and native residents. This involved a survey of 500 settlers and interviews with 18 people from both settler and native communities. The findings led to proposed short-term support measures including early-stage government assistance and education for returning farmers to enhance local engagement during settlement stabilization. Additionally, this research suggested short-term support actions such as networking aid. Medium- and long-term support measures were also recommended, focusing on providing support spaces for settlers and developing collaborative projects aligned with the stages of policy implementation.
