This study is planned to discover the behavior of Korean peasants cope with the changes ofstructure last 30 years. So, I have surveyed the activists of Jindo Peasants Association through questionnaire. The outcome of survey are as follows; First, Peasants movement have been become weakened andthe hope of future have disappeared. Although they have resisted the pressure of structural changeszealously, their life conditions have worsened. So, Peasants movement have been become weakened andthey have no alternative choice. Second, The economic situations of all activist those who surveyed haveworsened and there is no exits. If looking only at the surface of things, the socio-economic situations ofJindo peasants activists show a tendency to polarization. But, to tell the truth, overall immiseration haveoccurred at Jindo area. Third, confusion of their sense of values and weakening of self-esteem have occurredamong the Jindo peasants activists. It is because that farming which is evaluated high in respect tocultural and industrial perspective, have been eliminated and disregarded. Especially, worsening of earningsand expenses make the peasants to be in the worse situations.
