A Study on The Transformation of The Land Ownership In Urban Historical Core of Kyungju City in The Period Of Japanese Occupancy (1910-45)

摘要

This paper clarifies the changes of land ownership in the urban historical core of Kyungju City (Korea) in the period of Japanese Occupancy (1910-45) based on the analysis of a land register. Kyungju City was designated for one of the cities controlled by urban Planning law, which was set up in 1912 and 1934, but did not experience the radical changes for the preservation of historic sites. The major purpose of this paper is to discuss the urbanisation process of a Korean historical city that was the old capital. The focus of the study is the increase of the Japanese landowners and Japanisation of the cityscape.
