| Abstract |
This study examines the transition process of Daeseong-dong Village located in the Demilitarized Zone on the Korean Peninsula from the
1950s to the 1980s and reinterprets the meaning of the formation of Daeseong-dong Village, which has been known only as a village for
propaganda against North Korea. Daeseong-dong Village was developed three times in 1959, 1971~1972, and 1979~1983, with new layout
plans being implemented for each development, and new types of houses being built, transforming it into a village specialized in propaganda
against North Korea. In particular, the first comprehensive development project of Daeseong-dong Village became an ideal village in general
rural areas in Korea in the early 1970s as a demonstration village of the Saemaul Movement. In addition, Daeseong-dong Village played a
role as a demonstration village of a Unification Village(Tongilchon) established in a special area called a Civilian Control Zone located in
the border regions. |
