Ⅰ. Introduction
ㅇContaminated communities are found throughout South Korea―in areas where environmentally hazardous facilities are located or environmental accidents had occurred. Although living in contaminated communities wreaks great havoc on the health of residents and their quality of life, the government and society have not given sufficient attention to these communities.
ㅇThus, this study aims to build a theoretical and experiential foundation to formulate a policy for supporting the victims of contamination by analyzing various types of damages caused by pollution and the rehabilitation process that contaminated communities undergo.
ㅇThe research objectives are as follows.
-Develop “a model of society with environmental pollution damage” that can be used for analyzing various types of damage caused by environmental pollution as well as the rehabilitation process
-Conduct a case study to confirm the usefulness of the developed model of society
-Suggest the policy direction for rehabilitating the victims of contamination based on the study findings

Ⅱ.Theory Review and Analysis for Developing the Model of Society with Environmental Pollution Damage
ㅇTo develop a “the model of society with environmental pollution damage,” this study will utilize various previous studies from the fields of sociology and anthropology and statistical characteristics of contaminated communities in South Korea, along with theoretical studies on social impact assessment, social structure of damage, disaster resilience, and technical disaster.
ㅇThe plan for utilizing the related theories an
