Abstract 'Jung-Ja' architectural concept in Choson Dynasty is based on finding a good site position that people are able to enjoy natural sceneries and relax. This approach method about nature was affected by thinking of the Neo-Confucian scholar who gave a name like 'Gugok' to celebrated mountains or constructed buildings in themselves making artificial gardens. However, their philosophy does not appear an architectural prototype. The 'Jung-Ja' architectural organization in nature maybe show an indigenous difference. Thus, the propose of this study is to compare how to have made 'Jung-Ja' architecture between the Youngnam and Honam region in Choson Dynasty because the Neo-Confucian scholars' discipline ideology of each region was clearly distinct. These ideal difference definitely affects architectural expression in region, especially 'Jung-Ja' architecture to utilize nature. This will be an important source to learn Choson Dynasty's Neo-Confucian scholars' attitude to deal with and utilize the nature.
