Abstract This paper aims to clarify the transformation and housing spatial form of Japanese migrant fishing village during the colonial period of Korea in Geomun-do, Guryonpo, and Oenaro-do. Road system of the village was constituted from roads running parallel with coastline and small alleys stretching perpendicularly to them providing trapezoid shape of land. Taking notice of spans in the width of building, it can be classified into one bay type, two bay type and, multiple bay type. Typical model are one bay type and two bay type. Generally, one bay type and two bay type have rectangular spatial configuration simply composed of shop, kitchen and residence respectively.
Due to narrow frontage, transformation can be observed in the unification of building which can be classified into horizontal (depth) and vertical (width) unification. Horizontal unification is achieved by combination of two buildings in the row which use the same partition wall, while vertical unification is attained by combination of narrow width of two buildings in each rear wall.
