일제 강점기 부산나병원에 대한 연구(Ⅱ) －위치와 부지를 중심으로－

Abstract

This article is the second paper in the series of “A Study on ‘Busan Leper Hospital’ during the Japanese Colonial Period” In this study, the exact location of Busan Leper Hospital’s opening is tested, and the process of forced closure by the Japanese due to its location is revealed. It also deals with details such as the area, designation, and sale price of Busan Leper Hospital. The location of Busan Leper Hospital is currently Gamman 2-dong and Daeyeon 4-dong, Nam-gu, Busan. At the time of its opening, it was far from the city center and was in contact with the sea and mountains, making it the best place for leprosy patients to live while being treated. However, as the Japanese made Busan a military base, they began to take issue with the location of Busan Leper Hospital, which is located in a place overlooking major military facilities such as Busan Port and Jeokgi Port, and eventually forced it to close. According to the documents prepared by the Japanese in the process, Busan Leper Hospital accounted for 60% of the total area of 26,489 pyeong, and the land expropriation price was 103,000 won. However, this was different from the actual site of Busan Leper Hospital. The area was reduced as some of the land purchased with Japanese subsidies and some of the existing land occupied were excluded from the survey. The name was Rice paddy in the 1912 land survey project, but all related documents changed to Field. The land expropriation price was also lower than the surrounding market price, and there was an attempt to sell it at a price more than twice the price after readjustment of the land. This is generally consistent with the allegations that the Japanese manipulated the garden of Busan Leper Hospital, as I analyzed in previous studies. It can be seen that the Japanese leprosy policy advocated a modern medical policy of hygiene and treatment, but behind it was the duality to maintain the militaristic system.
