Abstract

In this study, the location and features in Feng shui aspect of the temporary palace of Bukhansanseong is examined, by literature and field survey. Bukhansanseong is a strong fortress and defense area because of the site along rugged mountain ranges and its accessible difficulty. Bukhansanseong Fortress is impregnable with its rugged peaks and valleys of mountain and there were several combats to capture and defense it. Bukhansanseong Fortress located on Mt. Samgak was as a strategic position to Goguryeo and Baekje kingdom. And the temporary palace of Bukhansanseong Fortress which located on the center of the fortress was a kind of shelter for king at emergency time. So Bukhansanseong Fortress was used as a defensive fort by adapting natural topography environment. Especially, Feng shui was a key factor to construct the fortress with the view of location selection and spatial composition, and it is a good example showing its utility. However Bukhansanseong Fortress had been scarcely used in the Joseon Dynasty period, due to its approach limit of topographic condition. Especially, its temporary palace has still remained as damaged by a landslide almost after 100 years ago without restoration. Nevertheless, King Jeong-jo argued the necessity and legitimacy of its restoration in order to protect Seoul capital city.
