Abstract This study is designed to classify the types of traditional wooden buildings through the features of their internal and external elements with buildings having different compositions of facade and back eaves end and the results of the study can be summarized as follows. Buildings with different eaves composition of facade and back were frequent in locational conditions through the process of mounding and cutting of the earth using the slope and they were featured by their location in the deepest place within the area. In general, central hall of Buddhist temples or Daeseongjeon and Myungryundang of Confucian buildings were frequently found and had common territoriality with axiality to adapt themselves to locational conditions. As the Gongpo structure, purlin and proofing tile of facade and back are different, it is considered that composition of double-layered eaves only on the facade was to have decoration and hierarchy. But, it was considered as structural plan of facade and back from initial plan not simple addition and it is also one of traditional methods of eaves composition in harmony with neighboring environment.
