Abstract

This study looked into the contents and characteristic of child awareness manifested within the urban family in the early modern times targeting the children under 15 of a family head who were entered in the family register at the Hanseong‑bu in the 7th year of the Kwang‑mu era. The entry of the whole children in the family register at the Hanseong‑bu in the 7th year of the Kwang‑mu Era was found to be faithfully done in comparison with other regions in the previous & same period. Hereupon, this study, in a bid to grasp in what position and character a family head's children, who were entered in the Hanseong‑bu family register, were expressed within their family, typed children according to the entry ranking of cohabiting relatives, and grasped the typology standard of children entry ranking based on children's gender, and in order relations with cohabiting relatives. As a result, it was found that the position of children in a family was represented as high from men & relatives‑centered traditional viewpoints in overall topology consequent on children entry ranking. However, some children in partial topology were perceived as different, away from the traditional viewpoints mentioned in the former. Accordingly, in an effort to concretely grasp the difference in child awareness consequent on child entry ranking in relation to a family head's issue of social stratum, this study looked into it by establishing a link between the difference and child entry ranking topology through the utilization of various pieces of information(age,occupation, house, and family formation, etc.) of a family head entered in the family register. As a result, the heads of a family, who understood children from men & relatives‑centered traditional viewpoints, were found to the people in their 50s, and to be equipped with the upper social standing and economic ability at that time, emerging intensively from the vested rights stratum who achieved an extended family in the form of big family, whereas the head of a family, who understood a child from a different perspective by escaping from a traditional viewpoint, was found to be the general stratum in their 30~40s having the social standing and economic ability enough to afford to live within the city, forming a parents & unmarried children‑centered nuclear family.
