1945년 해방 이후 1970년대 부산 동래 회동마을 洞中의 역할과 위상

Abstract

This research aims to illuminate the role of Hoedong village in Dongjung and its associated changes until the 1970s after liberation. Dongjung, which have a long history, has been discussed its role and status in the village, taking over public services until the industrialization era after liberation. Although Hoedong village is considered as a local elite village, its appearance does not represent its status, so we can see it as a typical example of local elite village. In this village, the records of Dongjung have been passed down, Especially the records in 1907 to 1975 are valuable, as they shed light on the post-liberation situation with a broader context, providing valuable insights. After its establishment in the late Joseon Dynasty, Dongjung in Hoedong village was reorganized in 1907 and served its role as the focal point of the village. This role continued after liberation, but began to change from the mid-1960s, ultimately being disorganized in 1976. Dongjung played a significant role in generating income for the village by acquiring new assets while also directly engaging in the village's management. Additionally, it played a certain role in addressing various policy matters after liberation. After urbanization underwent from the mid-1960s and the village office took on the official duties of the state within a modern administrative system, Dongjung underwent a transformation, carrying out another role related to the order and operation of the village community. As a result, in 1976, Dongjung underwent a process of disorganizition and was reorganized into a new form of organization. Therefore, this study can be considered extremely valuable as a case study that illuminate the role and status of Dongjung in the new changes and situations after liberation.
