Abstract

This article explores Changgyeongwon's spatial and cultural characteristics that were created there as the first modern urban park in Kyeongseong in the Japanese colonial era. First, in point of comparison regarding a colonial historical view, the study tried to understand the background of Changgyeongwon's establishment as well as three aspects of Changgyeongwon's characteristics as a modern urban park. The study found that; First, foreign envoys and high ranking members had visited Changgeongwon in the early opening period. This shows that this site was a park for foreign propaganda and modern display. Second, Changgyeongwon was altered as a place of enlightenment in the 1920s. This is related to the tendency of Changgyeongwon's increasing popularity around this period. More facilities and events particularly for women and children were offered at that time. Third, investigating the historical records, Changgyeongwon's cultural characters as a park are discussed. Changgyeongwon was an important place creating a modern park culture in Kyeongseong in the colonial era.

이 논문은 창경원을 근대적 도시 공원으로 보고, 창경원의 공간적 성격과 그곳에서 창출된 공원 문화의 특징을 파악하고자 했다. 먼저 창경원 성립의 배경을 파악했으며, 이를 바탕으로 세 가지 측면에서 근대 도시 공원으로서 창경원의 성격을 제시했다. 첫째, 대외적 선전과 과시의 장으로서 창경원의 성격, 특히 개원 초기 해외 사절과 고위 인사들의 방문에 주목했다. 특히 애초에 이곳을 근대적 공원으로 만들고자 계획했던 내용에 바탕을 두고, 근대 도시 공원으로서의 성격을 살펴보았다. 둘째, 계몽과 교화의 장으로서 1920년대 창경원 이용이 보다 대중화 경향을 띠기 시작했다는 점을 파악하고, 여성과 아동을 위한 행사와 새로운 시설의 등장에 주목했다. 셋째, 창경원을 공원으로 인식하고 이용했던 당대의 기록을 조사하여 그 문화적 특징을 파악했다.
