AB - Guide to Korea published in 1902, which was written by the correspondent of Gwanmun Newspaper, Katsuki Kentaro, was to aid the Japanese visiting, immigrating and carrying out economic activities. Obseving through maps and explanations of each opening port in Korea, the characteristics of forming modern cities during the period of opening ports are as follows : Firstly, the opening port was a new city that has the urban grid pattern composed of streets and blocks around the port. On the other hand, the opening city maintained the existing urban tissue. Secondly, the degree of urbanization and modernization is in proportion to the period from opening ports. Thirdly, the low level sites around the port were preferred in order to form the modern city, so that the urban area continues to expand through civil works. Finally, the construction of the urban infrastructure should be added as a result of the introduction of modern transportation, thus opening ports set up the basic spatial system of modern city. Gunsan was opened in 1899 as a common settlement-type port, but Japan played a leading role in the modernization and urbanization of Gunsan. Guide to Korea mentioned the first settlement formation period from 1899 to 1903, from the opening ports to the Russo-Japanese War. Japan built a residential area in a settlement with the distinguished grid pattern spread on the flat level. The Japanese settlement and the Korean dwelling area were separated. In terms of demographics, the number of Japanese in Gunsan increased dramatically to 482 at the beginning of opening ports, and the number of households reached 136.
