ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to reveal the topographical characteristics of cultural relics from the Three Kingdoms Period to modern times distributed in the Gongju area of Chungnam. For this, 67 relics (i.e.: tomb, fortress, Buddhist, and Confucian relics) for which quantitative analysis can be carried out on were extracted to carry out topographic analysis and GIS analysis. The results are as follows. In the case of Buddhist relics, they were distributed in hills and alluvial fans standing less than 120 m high and slopes of 3.3-10° (especially in flatlands and soft slopes) around the Baekje capital (or Jemincheon) prior to the Unified Silla Period. But after the Goryeo Period, they were distributed alluvial fans and valley plains with gradients between 2.8-32° (especially in flatlands and soft slopes) at over 120 m in the Charyeong Mountain Range and Gyeryong Mountain area reflecting the social aspect of the Zen doctrine and Pro-Confucianism/Anti-Buddhism of the Chosun Dynasty. In the case of tomb relics, they are located in 40-50 m hills with slopes of 5-16° (especially in flatlands and soft slopes). In the case of fortress relics, in the Three Kingdoms Period they are located in 50-70m hills with slopes of 15-21° (especially in slope areas) and in the Chosun Dynasty, beacon fire stations were mainly distributed in mountain areas of 200-330 m altitude and gradients of 0-10° (especially in flatlands and soft slopes). In the case of Confucian relics, pavilion relics are located on the upper flatlands river cliffs of meandering rivers advantageous for viewing the scenery, while official buildings and Confucian schools are located on alluvial fans or valley plains.
