This study looks at the origin of a wild-ginseng, Korean ginseng, and traces the origin of associated wild-ginseng digging customs back to the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. These historical customs helped Korea gain control over its wild ginseng resources following Japanese colonization acts, Korea's present-day forest laws, and Korean Civil Law. Prior to Japanese colonial rule in Korea (1910-1945), ginseng digging was a common custom, but Imperial Japan distorted Korea's own legal principles of the public rights of wild-ginseng digging during this colonial period. Distorted legal principles concerning digging customs continued after Korea's liberation from Japanese rule and were maintained until the enforcement of the Korean Civil Law in 1960, when legal principles of the right of common were changed to special servitude. The origin of the right of common can be found in the Sichojang of the Joseon Dynasty. The Sichojang, a place where local residents jointly collected firewood and fed livestock, was the minimum right to life and interest at the time. Since the right of common was the right to life, Imperial Japan attempted to abolish it, but it was never successful. In addition, distorted legal principles have been maintained in present-day forestry-related laws and regulations. Over 75 years since the liberation from Japanese rule in 1945, it is imperative to break away from the distorted legal principles and acknowledge that digging custom rights have changed from common customs to a special servitude under Korean Civil Law. Hence, an organization of wild-ginseng diggers is an unincorporated association, and their wild-ginseng digging customs can be constituted as a special servitude. Hence, their practices should be considered valid under customary law. Through this, it will be possible to clarify the legal nature and grounds for ginseng-related wild-ginseng digging activities, as well as the civil responsibility for the activities of wild-ginseng diggers.

In this paper, changes of railway-related organization during the Japanese colonial period were studied indepth. The railway-related organizations were expanded from the Railway Management Bureau in 1906 (Residency-General). In 1910, this bureau changed to the General of Chosun Railway Bureau (Government-General) and the Chosun Railway Bureau (Government-General). In the 1940's, it developed into an organization called the Transport Bureau, dealing with the whole transport service. The number of employees in the railway sector increased along with the expansion of the organization and the establishment of a training institution for better recruitment. After examining the period of the construction of railway and connection system, which is deeply related to the railway organizations of the Japanese colonial period, this paper analyzes the transformation process of railway-related laws and organizations. Furthermore, this paper finds common characteristics and differences between railways in a comparison of three countries: Chosun, Japan and Taiwan.

이 연구는 한국 화전농업의 역사와 발전과정을 살펴보고, 화전의 분포와 그 요인을 알아보고자 한다. 또한 오대산 부근 지역을 선정하여 화전과 관련한 산지 개간과 촌락의 형성 과정을 야외 조사를 통하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 한국의 화전은 오랜 역사를 갖고 있으며 산림 감독이 소홀한 조선 후기에 와서 화전 면적이 급증, 일제시대에는 최전성기를 보여주었다. 오대산의 깊숙한 고산간지에까지 개척이 이루어진 것은 일제 초의 토지조사사업과 신품종 등 농업기술의 발달에 연유하였다. 일제강점기 초 평지농토에서 쫓겨난 수많은 농민들은 화전으로 농토를 개척할 수 있는 산림지로 이동하였고, 고산간지에서도 생육이 가능한 새로운 품종이나 기술이 보급된 덕분이었다. 이들에 의해 개척된 촌락은 대개 3~4대 정도의 역사를 갖는 씨족이 최고이며 조부대에 이주해온 씨족이 대부분이다. 즉 고산지에서의 산지 개척의 역사가 100년 정도에 불과하다.

해방70년을 맞이하는 차원에서 일제강점기 동안에 조선인 강재징용으로 구축된 진지갱도(신주백, 2003)에 대한 구조물의 분포와 활용에 대한 내역을 규명하고(황석규, 2006), 일제에 의하여 자행된 국토훼손의 실상 및 만행을 확인하여 분류하는데 있다. '한반도는 일제강점기 일본 제국의 군사요새였다'(이완희, 2014)고 제시하였듯이 조사탐사의 범위는 전국을 대상으로 하며, 진지갱도지역에 대한 3-D LiDAR 기법에 의한 도면작성으로 붕괴위험에 처한 진지동굴의 분포, 형상, 내용 등의 분석으로 문화재적 측면의 보전위한 기록물 구현방안에 있다.
