Abstract

Korea’s 1945 liberation was not just a byproduct of the defeat of Japanese imperialism. It was the result of the aspirations, efforts, and struggles of many independence activists toward the independence of the Korean people that developed during the Japanese imperialism period since the end of Joseon Dynasty, and the March 1 Movement of Yu Gwan-sun was one of them. Yu Gwansun was arrested during the March 1st Movement in 1919 while leading the Manse demonstration at the Aunae Site in Byeongcheon. He died in prison in October 1920 the following year. Based on this historical fact, Yu Gwan-sun was awarded the Order of Independence of the Order of National Foundation by the government in 1962. The government raised the honor of martyr Yu Gwan-sun to the first grade in 2019. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to conduct research on the rank of conferment and recognition of conferment of martyr Yoo Gwan-sun. In order to achieve the purpose of the research, a survey was conducted on the rank of conferment, recognition of conferment, and other measures to promote projects, etc. of martyr Yoo Gwan-soon. First of all, the Korean conferment system, the reward of independence fighters, the conferment of martyr Yu Gwan-sun, and prior research were reviewed. Next, measuring indicators were derived based on existing studies. Next, it surveyed the areas related to the improvement of the conferment of martyr Yu Gwansun and the connection of the spirit of Yu Gwansun. Finally, the government proposed ways to improve and develop related projects to the martyrs. Measures for the revitalization of the project of Yu Gwan-soon shall be as follows: First of all, to continue the spirit of martyr Yoo Gwan-sun, “preservation of the historical site and memorial hall management of the martyrs,” “activation of visits to birthplace of elementary, middle and high school students,” and “construction of the martyr Yoo Kwan-soon Experience Center” are needed. Next, efforts to increase the number of visitors to Yu Gwan-sun’s historic sites and memorial halls include “more performances and other attractions,” “shuttle bus operation” for visits to birthplaces, and “open facilities and extend use hours.” Finally, promotional public relations should be elaborated and promoted in various ways such as the Internet and the media.
