19세기 후반～20세기 전반 金塘島 車牛里 木契의 조직과 기능

Abstract

This thesis is the case study of organization, management, and function of Mokgye based on analysis of the accounting records in Geumdang Island Chauri Mokgyechaek (Book of Mokgye in Chau-ri, Geumdang Island) from the late 19th and early 20th century. Government-designated Bongsan was created in Geumdang Island in the 18th century. The Bongsan was intended to grow and secure high-quality wood supply for the government use. However, the designation was withdrawn when the area was assessed to be unfit for cultivating pine trees in the 37th year of King Yeongjo's reign in 1761. It is clear that designation of Bongsan in Geumdang Island was a decision of the central clique that wished to log. Residents of Chau-ri in Geumdang Island created a county mountain and organized Mokgye in the late 19th century. The remaining Chauri Mokgyechaek records the expenditure details from 1870 to 1986. Based on this information, organization and management of Mokgye from Chau-ri were recreated for the research. Members consisted of Chau-ri, Bigyeon Island, and Heou Island to the east of Geumdang Island, and the membership revenue was invested for the interest gain. Documents from Donggye organized in the late 19th century are kept in Chau-ri Community Center. Comparison study of the expenditure records from Mokgye and Donggye, which were organized during the same time period, revealed an interesting fact. The former was spent on supporting various community activities and businesses while the latter was spent on overlooking various village administrative works such as taxation in Chau-ri. In short, Mokgye funded the management of Donggye. Chau-ri Donggye was broken up and Mokgye took over its function during the Japanese Occupation. Consequently, Mokgye solidified its stand as a community organization that overlooks social and economic life of Chau-ri residents.
