Abstract

The changes in the cultural landscape were examined through the analysis of the distribution patterns of archaeological sites from the Bronze Age to the Three Kingdoms Period in Sejong-city.
 During the Garak-dong type stage of the Bronze Age, large-scale settlements and surrounding settlements formed a local community and formed an interconnected landscape structure. This could be confirmed through a visual relationship in which settlements share visible landscape and interact. On the other hand, the landscape of the unit settlement served as a meaningful place where residential areas, tombs, and living economic activity spaces were structured to form solidarity and identity between individuals and groups. In the Songguk-ri type stage, the size of the settlements was reduced compared to the previous period, and the space occupied was limited. During this period, small and medium-sized settlements were concentrated in the Dangam-ri area to form a community, and small settlements showed a global distribution pattern. The landscape inside the settlements was inferred through a cultural landscape composed of multiple settlements. Here, the pottery farmland acts as a major landscape for sharing collective labor and experience, and it seems that it has the meaning of strengthening the solidarity of members and maintaining society.
 During the Proto-Three Kingdom Period, settlements were located on flatland, and various functional spaces were formed to interact with the large-scale settlement of Daepyeong-ri. This was based on a distribution network in which functional spaces were systematically linked within a radius of 10km around the top settlement.
 The landscape of the Baekje period is represented by the site of Naseong-ri. During this period, it can be seen that the landscape structure was reorganized around a new base called Naseong-ri in accordance with the strategy of expanding the influence of the central power of Baekje and securing the receiving system. This was a form in which the lower economic hubs were structured in a resin type with Naseong-ri at the peak. On the outskirts of the Naseong-ri ruins, the tomb of the ruling class was set up in a special place separated from the living space, and the view of the tomb was controlled to form a powerful landscape that maximized the existence of political power.
