전남도청의 풍수입지 해석과 제언

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate and make proposal of the location of the Jeonnam Province Office which moved from Gwangju Metropolitan City to Namak New Town, Mooan County, Jeonnam Province in 2005 and which stabilized the function of the town to some extent on the viewpoint of feng shui. Recently, local governments have moved by changing their office buildings into new ones:the Jeonbuk Province Office(2005), the Jeonnam Province Office(2005) and Choongnam Province Office(2013). In 2014, the Gyungbook Province Office is to move. The moving of the offices which strengthens urban functional aspects shows that the Goryu and Josun ages attached to the functional aspect than the feng shui function which played an important role in the location and construction of a city. Feng shui is based on the empirical scientific system that has been applied throughout a long history. In particular, it was also used as an important ground for deciding a city, a town site and a village. Namely, the preceding study was published that the traditional locations like Gamyoung, Eupchi and so on as well as Gaegyung and Hanyang, the capitals in the Goryu and Josun ages had been selected and constructed on by means of a feng shui judgment. Now, even feng shui semantic interpretation and suggestion about selecting and developing a new town are being made, but the suggestions and others applying the proper function intrinsic to feng shui are still lacking. The region of Namak where the Jeonnam Province Office was located can be seen as corresponding to the theory of yanggi and feng-shui in the many parts including the baemyun and hyangbae, structure of ipsoomaek, gaejang and chunshim and whether bakhwan or not, meaning from the viewpoint of a hyunggook theory and baesanimsoo, which were involved in sashinsa, a traditional Korean feng shui location theory. On the other hand, joojak which was poorer than joosan, direct flow of water not surrounding the office and the Youngsan River, which is gaeksoo, flowing as bangoongsoo were analyzed as problems. I made some suggestions for maximizing its locational advantages and complementing its locational disadvantages in such an aspect. Through this study, our country will hereafter introduce elements of feng shui in developing a new town or redeveloping a city, locating particular governmental and municipal offices and so on. And it will enable the traditional location theory of feng shui, if served as a ground for judgement, to become a clue for developing into a modern and practicable location theory.
