| Abstract |
This paper aims to analyse the acculturation of Japanese migrant fishing villages in Tong-young, Korea. This Japanese habitations was established in order to attain fishing ground magnification with support of national policy during the colonial period of Korea. After 1945 Liberation of Korea, it was transfigured by a returnee and Korean fishermen. This two different occupant's attitude towards their habitations is due to the other typfification process. To ascertain this process, this paper focuses on the concept of 'typification' and 'life-world' elaborated by Alfred Schutz. From Schutz's view, habitations are the outcome of occupant's typification proccess. In case of the Japanese migrant fishing villages in Korea, paradoxical it may seem, the aborigine was not Koreans but Japanese fishermen due to political reason. When Korean fishermen came into this habitations after Liberation of Korea, their position was quite similar to stranger in residential environment and their attitude to habitations continued to draw the acculturation between two different cultures. But the case took on a various aspect by occupant's attitude. Some case revealed to accept the Japanese living type and other cases were not. Housing adaptation and adjustment eventually is influenced by occupant's typification process. |
