Abstract In Ulsan, there have been GyeongsangJwado-Byungmajeoldosayoung and a government office together since old times and Byungmajeoldosa, a military commander that had played a role in front line defense of Japanese invaders worked in GyeongsangJwado-Byungmajeoldosayoung. Ulsan has lost its identity since a traditional city structure was changed through industrialization from district rearrangement project and thoughtless development during the Japanese Colonial Rule. Recently, there has been a brisk conservation and restoration projects in central Jung-gu where a local office existed in the JoseonDynasy and also Byeongyeongregion where GyeongsangJwado-Byeongyeongseong located in the past. Though progress has been made, there isn’t much historical consideration and concrete analysis regarding traditional landscape elements in Ulsan. Therefore, we considered that Ulsan needs a process of understanding and recognition of the landscape elements systematically. First, this study analyses location and character of the eup-seong of Ulsan village and also main facilities of Jinsan village from the Goryeo Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty. Then, it reveals the characters of city landscape elements built in literature from those places. Finally, the purpose of this study is to investigate how historical landscape elements have changed and disappeared during the period of Japanese colonial rule. Through this study, the value of historical and cultural resources in Ulsan would be reappraised and furthermore, this study would become an important preliminary data for preservation and utilization of historical landscape elements of Ulsan.
