Abstract
This study is to analyze the Feng Shui environment focusing on positions of pavilions, which were regarded as a dreaming space for the aristocracy called Sadaebu(士大夫) at that time in Han River by conducting location analysis for them and it is to suggest common characteristics of Feng Shui landscape. During the early Joseon Dynasty, in order to appreciate the landscape around Han River, the royal family and Sadaebu constructed pavilions, and they utilized pavilions as a measure to achieve an ideal space which is the unity of Heaven and Person called Cheonin Hapil from Neo-Confusion. They constructed them not just on a spot with aesthetically beautiful landscape but on a carefully selected location where Taoist Doctrine and Feng Shui theory were harmonious. They designed the pavilions to be filled with refreshing coolness of wind and flowing water beneath the pavilions. It is the pavilion that they showed themselves off and only masculinity existed with vigor. As they wanted to show off their power by building pavilions along Han River, people today wish to live in an apartment with a nice view overlooking Han River. It is verified because the locations where pavilions once stood have been changed into apartment complexes.
