| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to find out transformation process of urban change of the old downtown Ulsan during the period of Japanese occupation. The key to urban change was construction of infrastructure such as railroads, levees, roads and modern facilities under the rule of Japan. At that time, the colonial government had established city plannings for the most of major cities in Korea, however it was not applied to Ulsan. Thus, urban change of Ulsan had been made mostly by construction of infrastructure unrelated to each other.The objects of this study are railroads, road and levees constructed by the colonial government.The areal range of this study are focused on the seven blocks in Jung Gu, the old downtown in Ulsan: four blocks among them were central area during the late Cho Sun Period and three blocks were shown in the first urban-sprawl. The time period on this study is from 1912 on which modern land registration maps and terriers were made out for the first time, to 1945, the year of liberation from Japan.To reveal the physical form of the old downtown at that time, land registration maps and terriers were used, and complemented by official gazettes, chronological tables, statistical data, articles and maps. |
