ABSTRACT

Spatial research on the eupchi is an important area of traditional Korean urban research. Previous studies generally focused on the spatial arrangement of the chiso in the eupchi. However, to understand the eupchi, we need to study different types of spaces in the eupchi and their functions. Thus, this study focuses on housing spaces rather than chiso. The purpose of this study is to investigate the residential characteristics of indigenous families who comprised the top local officials. In analyzing the spatial distribution of housing lots according to their attribution, the result derived as follows. First, less than two percent of the social class to which the aristocrats called yangban belonged lived in the eupchi at the end of the Joseon era. This two percent consisted of only representative indigenous families. Second, unlike other families, they also clustered on one side of the chiso and had the largest space for a community and the greatest housing density in the eupchi. This likely reflects the power of indigenous families in the local towns in a physical form. The primary merit of this study is that it sheds light on the socio-spatial characteristics of indigenous families in the eupchi in the late Joseon era.

摘要

鄂池空间研究是韩国传统城市研究的一个重要领域。以前的研究一般集中在鄂契中chiso的空间排列上。然而，要了解鄂池，我们需要研究鄂池中不同类型的空间及其功能。因此，本研究侧重于住房空间而不是chiso。本研究的目的是调查由地方高级官员组成的土著家庭的居住特征。在按归属地分析住宅地段的空间分布时，得出的结果如下。首先，朝鲜时代末期，被称为两班的贵族所属的社会阶层中，只有不到 2% 的人居住在邑池。这 2% 仅由具有代表性的土著家庭组成。其次，与其他家庭不同，他们还聚集在 chiso 的一侧，在 eupchi 拥有最大的社区空间和最大的住房密度。这很可能以物质形式反映了当地城镇土著家庭的力量。这项研究的主要优点是它揭示了朝鲜时代晚期鄂支土著家庭的社会空间特征。
