Abstract

This paper tried to establish the premise that membership of households is decidedby possession of ownership or the rights to lease of houses and check it throughthe examples of 『Danseong Family Register』 in the 18th and 19th centuries. Separation of households which is a reason of membership of households wasdone when they are moved out. At this moment, moving out is to possess theownership or the rights to lease of individual houses which are separated fromhead families. This demonstrates that conditions about separation of householdsare possession of the ownership or the rights to lease about individual houses whichare separated from head families and membership of households was possible whenpeople possessed them. Like this, as membership of households is decided by possession of the ownershipand the rights to lease about houses, the membership rate that the ownership orthe rights to lease about houses were frequently changed in 1735 increased becauseof great frequency of land transaction. On the contrary, the membership rate ofhouseholds kept the low level after the mid-nineteenth century that there was fewchange of the ownership or the rights to lease about houses as the frequency ofland transaction was poor. And the farm villages that there were few changes ofthe ownership or the rights to lease about houses because they did not move well showed the relatively lower membership rate of households than that of the othercities which did not do. As land ownership concentrated on the Yangban classes(ofnoble birth) since the mid-nineteenth century, the membership rate of their housesincreased in the nineteenth century because the ones who possessed the ownershipor the rights to lease about houses did. Meanwhile, as there was the increasedtendency to avoid separation of the ownership or the rights to lease about housesand combine them with each other in the unstable economy increased in the nineteenthcentury, membership of households by combined families increased and their economicpower showed the various features ranging from Busilho to Binjanho as the sizesof houses diversified. Like this, the several characteristic phenomena which are shownin membership of households can be naturally explained through the conclusionthat it depends on possession of the ownership or the rights to lease about houses. And it means that households were classified by unit of the ownership or the rightsto lease about houses because they were based on the census type that 『Gyeonggukdaejeon』 defined, not the results that they accorded with natural householdsor organized ones. In this respect, the households can be the legislated ones thatthe census type of 『Gyeonggukdaejeon』 defined, not the natural or organized ones.
