조선후기 울릉도 수토의 주기성에 대한 종합적 검토

Abstract

This research aims to identify and organize the results of the previous research on the periodicity of Ulleungdo investigation and subjugation (搜討) during the late Choseon dynasty. Additionally, it aims to verify the changes in the patterns in dispatching investigators to confirm the periodicity, using precious historical records and research to examine the frequency of inspections during the late Choseon period. Further, this study attempts to analyze inspection and subjugation policy’s trend and features. The following are this research’s results. First, during the initial period following the implementation of the inspection policy, 1694–1744, the inspection was conducted once every three years. Following this, between 1745 and 1887, the inspection was conducted once every two years, and from 1888 to 1894, it was conducted once a year. Second, the circular inspection by the Samcheok Military Camp Chief and Wolsong-manho Director was carried out from 1694 to 1881; however, the unilateral inspection was conducted by either the Wolsong-manho Director or Pyeonghae District Mayor. Third, the port of departure for the Ulleungdo inspection by Samcheok Military Camp Chief changed from the Samcheok Jung-ra port and Jangori-jin to Jukbyeon-jin or Uljin-po, which were unified as the Pyeonghae, Gusan-po port by the Wolsong-manho Director during the late 18th century. The port seems to have been changed due to an economic factor—to ease the financial burden of the residents around the port. Moreover, the reason for changing the frequency of the inspection from three years to two or one year seems to be the change in the recognition of the value of Ulleungdo production as an economic factor, and the development of sailing techniques
