Abstract

This study examines the history and placeness of Dunjisan in Yongsan-gu, the process of formation of placeness in the pre-modern period, and examines the placeness of Dunjisan, which disappeared due to the construction of Japanese barracks during the Japanese colonial period and the construction of a US military base immediately after liberation. In addition, as a way to restore the history and sense of place of Dunjisan, which was lost after the relocation of the US military base, the location of Nam-dan of the national altar installed in Dunjisan was estimated and the meaning of restoring the place was revealed. This is specifically summarized as follows. First, in the pre-modern period, the altar, which performed the national ceremonies of the Joseon Dynasty, was intensively installed on Dunjisan. The reason is that Dunjisan is the only mountain located on Namgyo, and Namgyo was recognized as a sacred religious space where the emperor held ancestral rites to heaven. In the late 17th century, the area around Dunjisan became the Dunji-bang, and there were villages such as Seobinggo 1-gye, Seobinggo 2-gye, Jiedun-gye, Waseo-gye, Itae-won, Cheongpa, Jeonsaengnae- gye, and Jeonsaengoe-gye. Since government offices such as Itae-won, Waseo, and Seobinggo were established, many military officers, officials, and government officials and many slaves and workers belonging to the government offices must have also lived there. Also, as natural villages, there were Dunjimi, Dae-chon, Dongjak, Jeongja-dong, Wonnae-chon, and Sin- chon. Next, even after completing the construction of the first Yongsan Base, the Japanese Empire continued to expand Yongsan Base and its surrounding areas to create a forward base or a rear base for the invasion of the continent, building numerous military structures and facilities. In the midst of this, the Dunjimi area, which was formed around Dunjisan during the Joseon Dynasty, lost its sense of place as a place of living and was turned into a military base. Also, after the Korean War, Yongsan Garrison was recognized as a military center as a strategic military base, and Yongsan and Yongsan Base were recognized and transformed into places with an inseparable character from military and national defense. Therefore, since the Korean War, Yongsan Base was recognized only as a military base as a 'Forbidden Land' and a 'Forbidden Zone' in the middle of the capital, and Dunjisan, Dunjimi Village, and Nam-dan were out of scope. Finally, I reconsidered the location of Nam-dan, and it was estimated that it would be on the old road going to Itae-won through the front of the previous life and going to Seobinggo. This is not the site of the old building structure or Samgwang Elementary School in the US military base, which was previously mentioned as the southernmost location, but a third location. In addition, it was judged that the placeness of Dunjisan, which was destroyed and dismantled due to the construction of barracks under the Japanese colonial rule and occupation of the US military base, could be restored by re-illuminating the symbolism of Namgyo and the status of Nam-dan of the pre-modern period and examining its location.
