古地圖를 통해 본 義州大路 원형 복원 일고 - 고양~파주구간 영상기록 과정을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the original form of Euiju-Daero based on ancient maps and archives and the state of this remaining main road. Euiju-Daero was the main road that connected the midsection of the Korean Peninsula to the northern part of it in the traditional era. This road served as a means of traffic and communication, and was more characterized by political and military functions than by economic function due to the necessity of local governance, relations with China and national defense. Moreover, this road was a route by which intellectuals experienced the world through China in the Joseon era. Indeed, Euiju-Daero was a significant road that was headed for the world and facilitated civilization exchange between the Asia and the West. Thus, the historical and cultural value of Euiju-Daero are so great, and the state of this historical space was analyzed in an attempt to shed light on the historicity of the road and restore it to its original form. Currently, there is a lack of action research on Euiju-Daero. Under the circumstances, the database that included the visual records(photos and video clips) of the major spaces and remains on this main road and the GPS coordinates is of significance in that it made up for the primary data of archives and ancient maps, and the efforts by this study are expected to suggest a possible research methodology about the history and geography of Euiju-Daero.
