Abstract

This study was conducted to review the group features and characteristics of solider family heads and to reorganize their family characteristics with the contents related to soldier family heads with the subjects of soldiers listed in the family register of Hanseongbu from 1903 to 1906. The purpose of this study was to restore the soldiers’ living styles and characteristics of each class with family register data so as to supplement the historical viewpoint of the soldiers at that time that had been limited with historical events and systems of the early modern times. Hence, with the subjects of 363 soldier family heads in certain regions of Hanseongbu where many soldiers had lived, multiple statistical analyses were performed upon differentiation by region (north, central, and east) and by types of soldiers (retired or active military officers or general soldiers). Results reveal that soldiers in Hanseongbu at that time lived in north, central, and east regions intensively where the palace, main public offices, and main national facilities were located. Retired and active military officers in the central region as the main residential area for higher class officers showed the high class economic power such as holding large-scale houses and multiple roof-tiled houses, family organization including concubines, and so on. On the other hand, those in the north and east regions mainly with the active military officers and general soldiers showed the strong tendency toward conservatism that empathized family relations focusing on paternal line, compared to those in the central region. Retired and active military officers perceived as the public officers in the society, therefore, the occupations of family heads and their fathers were shown mostly as public officers and military officers, demonstrating the hereditary tendency of the occupations. Reviewing the houses, tools, employment, and share of cohabitat of the retired and active officers, their social status and economic power showed the same characteristics with upper-middle class in Hanseongbu, while general soldiers showed the characteristics of lower-middle class. In conclusion, this study investigated the roles and characteristics of soldiers living in Hanseongbu as the members of the city in the early modern times, by restoring their residential features and characteristics.
