ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to research on the historical regional identity of Chengju, the key city of Chungcheong Province. The feature that Chengju is a transportation hub to move easily from east to west and south to north has become a key factor in shaping regional identity. Because of the ease of traffic, the characteristics of the military strategic point were formed and it became a good place to start plot treason. Also, the natives of Cheongju did not easily open their heart to outsiders because they stayed for a while and left. As a result, Cheongju inevitably became a difficult area for the Mokmingwan to govern. People in Cheongju were able to live relatively prosperous lives because it had a large fertile field northwest of the country. This is partly related to the fact that it is a major transportation and military hub. This material affluence could serve as an economic foundation for the powerful family to become influential in Cheongju. This has formed for the long-standing historical and geographical characteristics, and is the wisdom of the people of this region to lead their lives here.
