Most of fully-fledged historical studies on the Hoseo region began since 1980s and multiple performances of them were accumulated by 2000s. At first, the period of Goryeo dynasty was examined by dividing it into five themes: powerful families in the period between the late Silla and the early Goryeo and the process in which the post three kingdoms were united into Goryeo, local governance and administrative districts, strife against foreign aggression and battles by locations, coastal routes and land transportation, and research on Buddhism and specific families. Next, the period of Joseon dynasty was examined by dividing it into seven themes: local administration, the local military system, rural community, private schools and local schools annexed to the Confucian shrine, historical research on military, local finance and economy, and diaries and ancient documents. This study attempts to seek out an opportunity to further enhance the capacity of historical studies on regions, by referring to the collection of data and the organization of list and bibliographical notes of them, the discovery of various study themes, metropolitan-based research for resolving the imbalance of studies on different regions, the need for historical studies on figures and the regular cultivation of future research generation, as the ground work for historical studies on regions, the future challenge.
