ABSTRACT

The settlements of the latter Bronze Age in Gyeongnam province are intensively distributed in Nam river valley and TaehwaㆍDongcheon river valley. The regional character is identified in points-the shape of dwelling, selection of its location. That is, Hyuamri-type dwellings range around Nam river but Ulsan-type dwellings in TaehwaㆍDongcheon valley are constructed on hills. Specially, this dwellings are divided into large and small classes by scale. The magnitude of settlement is expanded according to each regional character. The first opportunity of settlement building is the social-economic factor based on matter, I think, the natural environmental foundation as restriction and high requirements acts on complex conditions. Moreover, the united factors (communality as momentum of cohesion, popu-lation as main group and cause of scale enlargement, terrain potential as condition) emerge from physical settlement formation in historical inertia and ecological limitation. The living cohesion degree and scale compoundly effected by three factors become different. More population, higher communality and better environment, I think that the living cohesion degree and scale become larger. First of all, topographical conditions have an direct effect on location, field and shape of settlement. Basically these stipulations creates not only decisive factor choosing settlement location but also developmental result. Besides these are the most important factor determinating possibility and substance of land utilization as well as spacial formation deciding size and shape of settlement. In conclusion settlement location at the latter Bronze Age in Gyeongnam province expresses the placing and living difference of formation according to relation with nature to consider security and possibility filling up water, fuel, cultivated land as domiciliating will. Moreover the aspect that the settlement distributed around river as Nam river and TaehwaㆍDongcheon river is the aggregate of complex topographical factor systematically connected with flood and basin. The settlement of Nam river valley is constructed on sedimentary ground. The aspect of TaehwaㆍDongcheon river is identified in erosive ground. I think that this topographical difference finally influences living formation and thinking method. Further choice and shape of settlement become different.
