조선 후기 도시계획에서 나타난 근대성: 조선왕조 실록 기사에 대한 분석을 중심으로

Abstract

This study discusses whether there existed some germ of modernist urban planning in the medieval Korea as analyzing urban policies in the late term of the Joseon Dynasty. This study finds that there were some traces of modern urban planning ideas such as safety, property ownership, efficiency, and public thinking in that era. However, this paper, in the urban policies, identifies the existence of some pre-modern values such as royal authority, mercy to the people, and regulation of mansion size in addition to the modern values. This study finds that the pre-modern values rather overwhelmed the modern ideas in that era. It suggests that there was little rational urban planning in Korea between the 17th and 18th century. Above all, we can hardly find any urban policies centering on and promoted by the people in that era.
