18세기후반~20세기전반 기장지역의 시장권

Abstract

Local commerce in the late Chosun was implemented through market and harbor. In the late 18th century, there were 1,000markets nationally distributed. So market was established as a mechanism of everyday exchange. Market opened six times per month was generalized as a five-day market(五日場). Five markets opened every five days were established within a Prefecture-County(郡縣). The system of a five-day market was different based on the form of a Prefecture-County. There were two markets, town market(邑內場) and Jwachon market(佐村場) in the small area of Kijang(機張) in the 18th-19th century. As contrasted with the two markets, nine harbors usually called as the Gupo(九浦) were well developed. Markets in a Prefecture-County were basically developed from town market as a center. According to the market data published in the 1920s-1930s, the size of exchange in Jwachon market was much bigger than that in town market. It is not clear that the difference of the size of exchange between Jwachon market and town market in the 1920s-1930s was kept in the 18th-19th century. Kijang area was a typical case for town market not to be developed as a central market. It is supposed that town market in Kijang was down-sized because it was absorbed within a market network of the big size of that in Dongnae and that Jwachon market was developed due to the market network with neighboring markets. The market network of Kijang area was consisted of nine harbor(九浦) and two markets in the 18th-19th century. It was also formed through the networking with Dongnae, Ulsan, Yangsan, and so on.
