Abstract

The farm tenancy condition after the enforcement of the ‘Farmland Law in Chosun" showed that practice in sites of Farmland Law in Chosun still consisted of reasoning outside of the law and even the minimum intent of Farmland Law in Chosun could not be accomplished. In particular, instabilities of rural society caused by problems of tenant rights, farm rent, and tenant land management continued and worsened. Regulations regarding the minimum guaranteed three year tenant farming periods were not kept and the arbitrary deprivation and movement of landowners continued and farm rent reduction clauses were not enforced properly and problems regarding farm rent increases of landowners continued. Tenant land management reporting duties were not followed properly and problems caused by tenant land management were not fully regulated. Tenant farming problems were not sufficiently controlled after the enforcement of the Farmland Law in Chosun. Also, tenant farming problems continued, and many farm tenancy conciliations were made to benefit landowners. In actuality, Farmland Law in Chosun could not function for tenant farmers, making it unbeneficial to them. Even though colonial Chosun enforced Farmland Law in Chosun, its limited objectives were not achieved due to landowners arbitrarily deviating from or abusing the flaws of Farmland Law in Chosun. In sum, the legislation of the Farmland Law in Chosun in the mid-1930s was established for enhanced production power under the maintenance of a colonial landlord system along with system stability but the policy intentions of colonial power that tried to control tenant farming problems were not properly achieved. The colonial landlord system was maintained after the enforcement of the Farmland Law in Chosun, and tenant farming problems were not controlled and solved, and tenants’ protests continued.
