조선 후기 전라도 도서 지역의 수군진 설치와 민역 관리

Abstract

Islands were military borders and the source of revenue for Joseon. It was crucial for the Joseon Dynasty to manage the islands in a stable manner. However, the stable management of the islands was not easy at all. It was because the tax problem in the islands reached a serious level due to the installation of various military facilities and the land distribution ( jeolsu ) of gungbang and central government agencies. There was no choice but to operate the Jeolla Naval Forces ( sugunjin ) from the late 17th century to the first half of the 18th century by increasing civil duties ( minyeok ) due to the dynasty’s lack of financial measures. In this situation, all kinds of civil duties that were imposed unofficially by districts and counties further increased the burden on the people of the islands. The people of the islands strongly resisted the acts of taxation. In response, the Joseon government attempted to reach a compromise by partially reducing their burden. However, the government’s attempt was only a stopgap measure that neglected the structural issue of taxation in the island region. What came out to solve the problem in a more fundamental way was the discussion on the establishment of towns. The discussion could not be realized due to opposition until 1896, after the abolition of sugunjin .
