일제의 식민정책과 향약 인식－1920년대를 중심으로－

초록

This is a study of Japanese Empire’s research of Hyangyak in the 1920’s and nature of their research and how they recognized Hyangyak of Joseon. The research of Hyangyak in the 1920’s was mainly analyzed thought “Writing of Hayngyak of Joseon” 「朝鮮鄕約ニ關スル書」 which was surveyed by Jungchuwon (a consultative body) of Japanese Government-General of Korea and “Sprouting of Autonomy in Old Joseon, Commonness of Hayngyak” 「往時の朝鮮に於ける自治の萌芽 鄕約の一斑」 written by Tominaga Bunichi who was a government official of the Government-General. Through this study I confirm that the research of Hyangyak in the 1920’s served a purpose of political use. Comparing to the research of Jungchuwon, which was a collection of data with an objective to secure the basic knowledge, the research of Tominaga Bunichi advised on an aggressive application of Hyangyak to control Joseon strategically and sketched ways to utilize it. Also, I examined Japanese Empire’s recognition of Hyangyak from the March First Independence Movement to Rural Development Movement period through the research of the colonial officers such as Takahasi Hamayosi, Matuda Kou and Nkamura Hidetaka. First it was confirmed that their research paid attention to Hyangyak’s aspect of control and reformation of Hyangchon society and political application of it. Secondly, the research emphasized on the autonomic function of traditional Hyangyak and promoted it related to local self-governing system to reduce dissatisfaction of people of Joseon regarding unsatisfactory reformation of local self-governing system.
