Abstract

This study examined the formation and characteristics of spatial connections between the central and local regions, and between local and local regions developed within the geographical governance area of Joseon in the 15th-16th century, focusing on the composition of the road system and the institutional operation and existence of the yeok[驛].BR The connection relationship between Joseon’s road system, or Gunhyeon[郡縣], takes the form of a grid-shaped net connected in all directions of east, west, north, and south using each Gunhyeon Eupchi[邑治] as an intersection. The vertical movement to the capital is centered on the passage of information between the center and the region, and the horizontal movement within the region appears in the process of realizing the local administrative system. The form of territorial management and control of the road system is a characteristic of the space connection form of the Joseon Dynasty. The area area management method for the road system was selected to accommodate the number of cases that occurred while passing through the grid-type road system expressed in the Gunhyeon boundary of Jiriji as if riding a ladder.BR In the Joseon Dynasty, the yeok was an institution that integrated public transportation functions, and its work was specified. The function of the yeok was to correspond to the yeok around the road where traffic demand occurred in the road system, which includes both the connection relationship between the capital and each county and the county and county within the observation chart area. In order to respond to this traffic demand, the yeokdo [驛道] was a management system that organized a number of stations into one operating unit in consideration of the frequency of road use and geographical location.
