| Abstract |
This study analyzed the discussion and plan related to the development of Busan canals in the Japanese occupation. As a result, in order for
local manufacturing and industrialization in Busan at that time, the development of ‘Nakdong River?Busanjin Canal’, ‘Busanjin Canal’, and
‘Yeongdo Salmagul Canal’ was discussed and their plans were established from 1916 to the mid 1930s under the leadership of merchants
and industrialists. ‘Reclaimed land Canal’ of ‘Busanjin Canal’ in 1932 and ‘Yeongdo Salmagul Canal’ in 1935 were established and had been
used as actual canals. Particularly, with the ‘Dong-Stream Canal Plan’ of ‘Busanjin Canal’ which had been performed since 1940, Dong
Stream as a natural stream was changed to an artificial canal-like stream. Dong Stream at present is an unfinished canal built in the modern
period and a historic place used to look into the development of canals in the modern period. And ‘Yeongdo Salmagul Canal’ has been used
as a small canal from its establishment in the modern period up to now. Therefore, for urban plan and development, it will be necessary to
set up a plan for presenting the characteristics of these canals and using them as main resources. |
