| Abstract |
Sorokdo is a historical place that has been isolated from the public due to the residence of the Hansen's disease. The island is a place filled with resentment of Hansen's disease sufferers who should have lived amidst misunderstandings and prejudices of society. Since the early 2000's, there have been positive efforts to preserve Sorokdo as a place to be preserved. However, the efforts have only achieved partial regional results by business sector without reaching the conservation of the Sorokdo as a whole. From this perspective, a fundamental work is needed in order to pursue conservation of Sorokdo, which is the largest disease community of Hansen's Disease having the most social and historical significance in Republic of Korea. This study comprises one of such works, and its ultimate purpose is to identify the characteristics of Sorokdo for the past 100 years by analyzing the transition process of the Sorokdo. The first phase defines the concept of Hansen's Disease and distinguishes between the transition periods of Sorokdo according to milestone events. In the second phase, the transition process by period of the Sorokdo was analyzed. In the third phase, based on the results of the analysis in phase 2, the characteristics of the Sorokdo are identified in terms of space, subject, and behavior. |
