This paper considers the autochthonous correspondence to situation changes, clarifying the change of agricultural structure in the hilly and mountainous areas in the Republic of Korea based on hearing investigation. While the autochthonous correspondence was the aggregate of individual correspondence, it was complement-correspondence of blood relationship. Such autochthonous correspondence had also established unity as local agriculture till the 1980s. Due to aging of farm villages, the unity collapsed and the autochthonous correspondence has also been specialized. The structure improvement has progressed due to such specialization of the autochthonous correspondence. However, the present extreme aging is generating unused farmland and the autochthonous correspondence is reaching a limit. In order to solve this problem, what needs to be expanded is a life security policy for elderly farmers that is separated from structural policies, which discard elderly farmers.
