Abstract
This paper is a case study of local history that aims to examine social movements of local elites in Cheonan area. During the Japanese colonial rule, Cheonan was transformed into a modern commercial city by the development of railroad transportation. However, agricultural areas around Mokcheon and Jiksan have also existed extensively, and the Cheonan area has become a structure where urban and rural areas coexist. In response to these regional characteristics, the social movements of Cheonan were classified according to the living area. Cheonan town, which was developed as a major city of railroad transportation and a commercial city, developed a social movement focused on cultural movements centering on bourgeoisie. In contrast, in the Mokcheon and Jisan areas, social movements with anti-feudal character, such as the peasant movement and Hyeongpyeong(identity liberation) movement, were dominant.
