Using foundational data from historical records, the study organized and compared the locations of 39 lending library and 26 woodblock printing shops. In addition to confirming existing names and locations, adjustments were made forLending library such as Geumho, Yuho, and Pagok, while woodblock printing shop locations in Yongdong, Hwagok, and Hwasan were verified. Based on the discussed place names, the distribution ofLending library and woodblock printing shops was statistically analyzed and visualized on a map. The results indicate thatLending library are uniformly distributed across all areas except the northeast and below Namsan, particularly concentrated in areas outside Seoul and close to Jongno, suggesting they were often located at the center of commercial activity. Moreover, it was observed that there is a tendency to borrow books fromLending library located nearby, but loans are also made from distant locations. As for woodblock printing shops, 52.6% of them are concentrated in the southern region, with over half in the Gwangtongbang area. In the western region, there is a concentration in the Banseokbang area, and most woodblock printing shops are located within city walls. Notably, in the central commercial area where the population increased significantly during the late Joseon period, there is an absence of woodblock printing shops. Although woodblock printing shops tended to move towards the central areas over time, their locations consistently formed around market centers. Examining the distribution ofLending library and novel woodblock printing shops in terms of proportions,Lending library are evenly distributed across the western, southern, and central regions. In contrast, more than half of novel woodblock printing shops are in the southern region, with none in the central and northern regions. By mapping the locations of Lending library and novel woodblock printing shops, it was revealed that the distribution of novel circulation during the late Joseon period was most prominent in the vicinity of Euljiro 1-ga, where there were Lending library and woodblock printing shops in Hyangmok-dong and Midong, adjacent to each other.
