| Abstract |
This study aims at exploring the ways for Japanese technocrat to establish the 'Land division standard drawing' in the Decision Reason Statements for Town Planning, and its application to Korean cities during the period of Japanese occupation. In the 1930s, Korea witnessed suburbanization for the first time. Responding to the rapid increase of urban population, Japanese colonial government announced the Urban District Plan Decree in 1934, which involved two major urban planning concepts: zoning and land readjustment. These concepts led to a shift in urban planning from a linear one to a planar one. Based on this law, the Japanese colonial government established town planning for 43 urban cities nationwide and carried out 61 land adjustment projects. The Land division standard drawing served as a kind of diagram in the moment of land subdivision, which resulted in generating homeogenous urban space. This is the main reason this study focused on the standard drawing in urban desing in the 1930s. |
