A Time-Series Study of Historical Landscape Change in the Lower of Sanjicheon Stream on Jeju Island
This study examines the historical layers and scenic values of the lower Sanjicheon Stream in Jeju were revisited to explore the trajectory of place meaning and memory. As a result, During the Joseon Dynasty, local government officials(mokmingwan) transformed the area into a Confucian humanistic landscape by building central pavilions and gates with Confucian aesthetics. Meanwhile, during the Japanese occupation, Jeju Park and Jeju Shrine were built, including the Jeju Meteorological Observatory and the area was transformed into a colonial landscape. After liberation, the Jeju shrines were destroyed as part of the liquidation of colonial remnants, and after the outbreak of the Korean War, a religious organization called the Methodist Church was introduced, resulting in a change to a new religious landscape rather than a restoration of the traditional landscape. In recent, a movement to restore the traditional landscape emerged in connection with the expansion of the Jeju Regional Meteorological Administration, but it remains unfinished to this day. Like this it was found that although the landscape of the space changed according to the historical landscape ideologies and values of each era, it was repeatedly favored as the most symbolic and essential space of the time regardless of the changes.
