충청도 월경지 분석에 기초한 고려~조선시대 下三道 월경지의 유형 분류

Abstract

Flying lands, by definition, is a territory that existed beyond a certain boundary, meaning that part of ‘A’ local administration is located in the territory of neighboring ‘B’ or ‘C’ local administrations. Flying Lands did not suddenly increase in numbers during the end of Goryeo and early Joseon Dynasty. Not only are the causes of development but also the origins, scales and geographic conditions differ according to Flying Land. This paper analyses Flying Lands in Three Southern Provinces focusing on Chungcheong Province and studies the beginning, existence and development of each Flying Land from Goryeo to Joseon Dynasty periods. Based on this analysis, the study suggests a new and relevant classification method of Flying Lands in Korean history. However, there is not much research on Flying Lands. Relying on historical texts or documents is not enough to further research and analysis on Flying Land. Research on Flying Lands should be done through various methods, diversifying the context that Flying Lands hold in Korean history.
