ABSTRACT

Starting with the problem that the origin of Korean technology culture lies in the technology culture of amateur radio lovers in the 1950s and 1960s, the purpose of this study is to explore the research perspective and research issues necessary for the historical study of Korean amateur radio, which has remained a blind spot. More specifically, the main contents of the 'social constructivism of technology' theory, which is a perspective that is mainly interested in the early history phase and a theoretical resource that views the relationship between technology and culture, were examined, and technology culture of amateur radio lovers was examined. And based on this, major research issues were derived. The main research issues derived are to determine the historical composition of amateur radio in the 1950s and 1960s, to explain the Cold War transformation of Korean amateur radio (technology) culture, and to examine the relationship between radio electronics market and amateur radio hobby market growth.
