부산 하야리아 부대의 시대적 변화와 건축적 현황에 대한 고찰

Abstract

The Camp Hialeah in Beomjeon-dong and Yeonji-dong of Busan, where the U.S. Army troops were stationed until 2005, was an important area in the local history of Busan. From the historical point of view, various artifacts and ancient monuments from the literary and martial arts earthenware to domestic relics from the ancient Bronze Age were excavated. Starting in the late 1930's during the Japanese colonial occupation period, the Camp Hialeah was used as a formal racetrack called the Seomyeon Racetrack. Also, with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War, it was used as a location for the camp for the 72nd Quartermaster Corps, the temporary training camp for civilians from Seomyeon, Busan, and the temporary camp for prisoners of war. Upon gaining independence from Japan, it was temporarily used as a racetrack. However, in September 1945, it was reverted to and was used as the headquarters of the U.S. Army stationed in Busan, and was occupied by the U.S. Army for the next 60 years. These facts demonstrates that this area has a close tie with the local history. In addition, there are 341 buildings that remain in this area including the racetracks that represent each period, the pari-mutuel ticket office, the office residence of the Japanese Army when the Japanese Army was stationed in this area, and various facilities of the U.S. Army. Based on this, we came to a conculsion that there were a total of four steps in the transition process of the Camp Hialeah. We hope that the information from this study is reflected in the Hialeah Public Park Project that is currently being organized in terms of valuation and understanding the transformation process of the buildings.
