GIS를 활용한 한국 전통마을의 특징 분석

Abstract

The study of the traditional village in South Korea investigated the effect of topographical changes on its distribution, establishment period, and preservation condition by using spatial analysis method based on GIS. Maps of sixty traditional villages produced by Japanese colonial government in 1910’s were used to build a point type spatial database of these traditional villages by using geocoding method to compare them with that of current information from Google Earth. The result presents that most of traditional villages had been densely distributed in Gyeongsanbuk-do area and mostly established in the beginning or the middle of Joseon dynasty. The preservation conditions were very varied that it was impossible, in several cases, to notice the sign of inhabitancy because of the damages. These results indicates the necessity of a systematic investigations and the establishment of the measures to manage for these traditional villages in government level.
