ABSTRACT

This article aims to explore the characteristics of infectious diseases in Seoul from the perspective of historical study. The research question starts with the idea that understanding the features of the outbreak of communicable diseases for the last decade could help public health authorities in Seoul to better cope with upcoming risks in the future. The high frequency of the recent outbreaks of infectious diseases in Seoul is due to neither malnutrition nor unhygienic environment. Considering that the rapid spread of infectious diseases has had a strong impact on regional economy and urban development in Seoul, historical research and heuristic search were conducted to provide information on the long-term trends and characteristics of the outbreaks of infectious diseases. The findings could be used to better deal with infectious diseases in other cities as well.
