A study on Dohoe towns Kyonggi Province of the late Chosun Dynasty

朝鮮後期 京畿地方의 都會硏究

This research aims to introduce the theoretical basis of the studies of tourism resources, by review the research trends of tourism resources in the geography field. The geographical approaches to tourism resouces can be subdicided into 3 categories according to the subject. First, the classification of tourism resource types and the approach on the spatial distribution may be enumerated. This subject has been the object of the most interest and discussion to the geographers for tourism up to now. And from the viewpoint of contents, it has been developed by classifying the types of tourism resoures, which is based on the establishment of the range and standard of tourism resources and the spatial classification of types based on the distribution feature of the area. Second, the approach about cognition, preference and interpretation on the tourism resources as the background to induce tourism phenomenon and decide the tourism destination. Judging from the fact that most of this subject is starting from the behavioural study and that the right understanding and interpretation of tourism resource is the important factor to decide the preference degree of tourists, we have to have much interest about the field of tourism geoaraphy. Third, the development of tourism resources which is showing the active study recently and its influence and effect attendant upon it may be enumerated. Today, as the economic value of tourism is become important internationally, tourism resources are recognized as the important factor to induce the industrialization of tourism. And in the series of analytical studies related to it the interest has been transferred from the economic benefit analysis attendant upon tourism development including tourism resource and to the cultural, educational, environmental and psychological influence, etc. As the result of composite examination, for the geographical studies about tourism resources, the spatial scale and the contents are being subdivided and specialized. And in the side of subject and method of study, it is developing into the positive study based on the concrete data and the measuring and analytical frame.

조선후기 경기지역은 한강수운을 비롯한 'X'자형 간선도로망의 중심에 입지하여 재 화와 정보, 기술의 유입이 他道에 비해 빠른 곳일 뿐 아니라, 행정. 상업.위수기능이 집중 하여 도회의 발전가능성이 많은 곳이었다. 조선후기의 도회는 고급행정중심지를 제외하면 대개 3,000-5,000정도의 인구를 보유한 작은 규모로 도회거주민은 관리, 상인, 장인, 노비 등 非農民層이 주류를 이루었다. 경기도 내에 비농업적인 도시기능을 수행한 곳은 한성과 개성 을 비롯해 모두 52곳이다. 이들 중 인구 3,000명 이상의 도회로 성장한 곳은 29곳인데 대부 분 조선시대의 간선도로망인 'X'자형 도로망중 서북-동남축을 따라 분포하였다. 경기도의 도회를 중심지의 인구규모와 도회기능의 소유 정도에 따라 계층화하면 6개의 등급으로 나눌 수 있다. 각 등급별 도회상황을 살펴 본 결과 1등급에서 4등급까지는 도회화의 정도가 차이 가 남을 알 수 있지만 4등급에서 6등급까지는 전체전인 도회의 모습에 있어서 그다지 큰 차 이가 나타나지는 않음을 알 수 있다.
