ABSTRACT

This paper examines the organization and operation of the ‘pioneering group’ in Chungcheongnam-do Seosan and Chungcheongnam-do Jangheung, and examined the actual experiences and the multi - faceted nature of the project. 5.16 In the military period, the government organized and supported the pioneering group in the name of pursuing ‘Making the society cheerful’ by isolating orphans and wanders and planned to distribute the farmland when the farmland was created through land clearing or reclamation. Seosan and Jangheung's pioneering groups were built in the area where refugees settled in the 1950's. The people who became pioneers were often forced to live, and they were under detention. It was operated with the same organization as the barracks, and the task of reclamation of the sea and clearing the tidal flats was very intense labor. There was a person who died in an accident while working, but there was no funeral process or graveyard, nor was it known outside. Inside the pioneer group, it created its own surveillance system that prevented it from escaping, and beatings were routinely carried out. The Jangheung and Seosan pioneering groups also had important differences. Jangheung had reclaimed the sea, but Seosan cleared the state - owned land. Settlers appealed to the government or filed a lawsuit with the government, but they lost. The pioneers worked to make farmland, but there were many reasons other than ownership of the land to decide whether to move or settled. The pioneers of Jangheung migrated even after receiving farmland. The reasons include the productivity of farmland, surveillance and violence at the workplace, stigmatization and conflicts in the community, and shortcomings. Seosan settlers are demanding the government to clarify the truth and to compensate the victims. In the 1960s, the pioneering group was evaluated positively and no specific facts have been revealed. Because the government emphasized development and forced people to mobilize. Also, there was a recognition of the society that suppressed and discriminated the weak in the military culture.
