A term of Jatseong appeared officially in Jeju Do topographic map that was edited at 1974. Jatseong means long stone wall of Mt. Halla-san Region that was builded to define the boundary of Government-installed ranches during the Joseon Dynasty Period. Jatseong was consist of Sang-Jatseung, Ha-Jatseung, Jung-Jatseung, Gan-Jang and was erected as the upper and lower boundaries of Sip-sojang. From among these, Ha-Jatseung is locate in boundary line(200 meters above sea level) of the Middle-Mountain Region and Coast Region. It was the bottom line of Sip-sojang(十所場). Hajatseong was made from stone consisting of double lines in the boundary neighborhood of grazing land and farm land. Hajatseong was erected to prevented the invasion of farm land by cattle and horses. It was a upper line to cultivate inhabitants residing in the coastal area. Sangjatseong was established to prevented loss from freezing to death or loss horses at Halla Mountain forest belt. Sang-Jatseung is locate in boundary line(600 meters above sea level) of the Middle-Mountain Region and Intermountain area. Jung-Jatseung was divide into two equal parts area of Ha-Jatseung and Sang-Jatseung. As a symbol of Jeju Island ranches that operated by government during the Chosun Dynasty, Jatseong need systematic study and a conservation counterplan because Jatseong is impairing deeply by natural causes and social unconcern. As a method of preventing impairment to Jatseung, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province must authorize the Jatseung as cultural properties and must protect Jatseung carefully
