일제하 大田의 한국인 有志들의 등장과 변화 -1920~1935년 대전의 주요 한국인 ‘公職者’들과 지역사회-

Abstract

Daejeon was one of the modern colonial cities, built in 1905 by the Kyungbu(京釜) Line railroad and Japanese immigration. In particular, the majority of the population of Daejeon-myeon(大田面) was Japanese. Naturally, Most of the local elite groups(有志層) that had big influence on the region were Japanese. However, when various local assemblies with limited authority were created in 1920, Koreans advanced through elections, and they also became local elites. In the early 1920s, Those who were elected as assemblyman of the Daejeon-gun(大田郡) were the ruling class of the traditional era, such as former bureaucrats or influential ‘jejisajok’(在地士族, the nobleman in local). However, the place was replaced by a new classes relatively quickly. Especially in the case of Daejeon-myeon, New leaders who were different in character from those of the traditional era appeared early. They were based on commerce and finance. And some of them were professional jobs, such as doctors and judicial scriveners. And most of them were people who migrated from outside, not from the locals. These distinct features also reflects the characteristics of Daejeon. From the beginning Daejeon was not a traditional order, but a new colonial modern order and development logic. The development of a wealthy commercial city was the vision of the local community. As a result, the environment and will of the local community created new local elites.
