AB - This study is to examine the process of house possession, house lot distribution policy, and house demolition of people in Hanseongbu and the social characteristics especially in the early Joseon Period when the city reorganization was conducted by the nation. As a direct measure of housing control, the government implemented the grading policy to decide the scale of house lot and house according to the grade of each official. Besides, it operated the policy to confirm the user of lands based on the planning procedure to get approval of using the land. Indirect measures included taxations such as tax on house and house lot property, and Jingoje to bring a charge against illegal use of lands among people in Hanseongbu. As to house demolition policy as well, to protect the symbolic representation of the sovereign power was the main goal of spending the expenses, rather than to improve the efficiency of arranging landscape architecture and lots in a way of beautifying the city. On the other hand of the housing policy, reflected were the ideological frame and social conception that affected the settling areas in the Joseon Period. In addition, the right to use houses was admitted, rather than the property, under the authority of the central government, and the house properties was recognized, rather than as private belongings, as public materials to secure housing of the nation, which were supposed to be publicly managed.
Since the 15th century, an increase in the population of Hanseongbu caused a polarization between luxury housing and illegal unauthorized housing, and even incurred a large fire. During this period, housing restructuring by the government was conducted in terms of two aspects, the improvement of houses and the removal of illegal houses. Because of the large fire that had occurred during the King Sejong period, the government attempted to renovate houses into tile-roofed houses, and also performed the removal of housing that featured a pre-modern duality, namely, the rationality of urban restructuring, fungsui, and royal power. The pattern of the removal of private housing, which appeared during the restructuring of urban housing, created another housing problem including the mass-production of unauthorized householders and a jump in housing prices. All the more, the lack of housing space, which worsened during the 15th∼16th centuries, created an expansion of housing outside the castle town, and a new housing pattern of rental housing, such as loaning and renting.
