Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the research area and methodology of the public administrative history through 205 papers published in the KPAHR(Korean Public Administration History Review). The study area was divided into 6 areas according to the classification system of administrative division, and it was further divided into fields. The research methodology was analyzed about quantitative approach and description approach. The results of this study are as follows. First, if you look at the number of papers and researchers, 73.7 percent of them have a single study, 76.3 percent of them have a university professor, and 12.7 percent have a joint study. Research support is low at 20.8%. According to research trends in the research area, researches are mainly focused on Korea and China, and on cities by region, by the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Dynasty. There are many researches on administrative system and management, and administrative history and ideology are confined to the Joseon era. The research method was significantly more descriptive (93.2%) than quantitative (6.9%), and the focus was on problem-solving/ prescriptive research (52.2%) than normative/ theoretical Respectively. Statistical techniques were in order of factor analysis, causality, descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, variance). The implications of this study are as follows. First, collaboration between scholars and practitioners should be made in relation to the type of participation of researchers. Second, the research areas of administrative history should be diversified and administrative changes should be actively accepted. Third, the identity of the journal should be established and the research fund should be supported. Fourth, the basis of normative/ theoretical research should be firmly established for the balanced development of scholarship.
