해역네트워크의 관점에서 다시 보는 부산항 - 부산 연구를 위한 이론적 시탐(試探)

Abstract

This article looked into the direction of the Busan Port research by borrowing from the perspective of the sea area city that opened port in Northeast Asian Sea Region and the network between the cities, that is, sea area network. Since the Joseon Dynasty, Busan has provided a space called '倭館' for Japanese trade. After the opening of the port in 1876, Waegwan (Waegwan) was transformed into a Japanese land and remained until before liberation. As such, from the perspective of the network, Busan is historically closely related to Japan. This is an important factor in identifying Busan Studies or Busan personality. However, since modern times, Chinese and Westerners have also visited and resided in Busan Port, in addition to the Japanese. Although the lack of data has not activated the relevant research, this is a clear fact. The achievements of Asian researchers such as Ryota Ishikawa disprove this. The activities of a Chinese merchant in Northeast Asia and the establishment of a settlement of the Qing Dynasty in Busan are typical examples. During the Japanese colonial period, Busan served as the entrance to Japan's continental advance. It was a crowded place where people came by Busan Shimonoseki Ferry and tried to head for Manchuria. Busan Station, built near the port of Busan, was built earlier to transport them to Manchuria. During this period, Busan was actively used as a port for Japan's advancement into the continent along with Najin(羅津) and Cheongjin(淸津). As the function of Busan Port and the occupations of residents were defined by Japan, Busan Port seems to be out of the existing open port network, but it still functions as a physical network and as a mediated port of human network of human movement. After liberation and through the Korean War, Busan became a city of refugees in its traditional form, namely the colonial legacy that Japan left behind. On top of the traces left by the Japanese, fault lines due to the devastation of the war were piled up, and the birth of the marine industry began with modernization. The history of Busan Port was examined in terms of network, movement, and space.
