State village campaign appeared in many parts of the world as a result of so-called ‘High Modernism’. The campaign took place in DMZ in South Korea as well in 1973, and its most representative case is ‘Tongil-chon’ in Cheorwon. This village campaign was also closely related with the division of Korea. It was constructed with strict resident selection process and extraordinary economic incentive provision for the political propaganda vis-a-vis North Korea and for the purpose of efficient land use in DMZ. However, Tongil-chon decayed as time goes by because of its failures in community building and land ownership disputes. The social conflicts in Tongil-chon particularly imply the importance of land ownership distribution for inter-Korean unification process in the future.
