metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The paper examines the change of turban space in Seoul at the turn of 20th Century. The period
  is rich in events that influenced the formation of the modern Korean state: ranging from
  the “opening of the ports” in 1876, to the proclamation of the Korean Empire in 1897. At the
  same time, the country began the process of modernizing urban planning legislation. Urban
  projects were carried out under the Hansung City Improvement Project (한성 도시 개조 사
  업) adopted by Kojong and his government in 1896 and continued until 1905. However, in
  modern historiography, the project is rarely considered as an example of modern urban planning
  in Korea. In this paper the diary entries, collections of stories, and memoirs of foreign
  diplomats who lived in Korea in the end of the 19th century are analyzed, along with papers
  from journalists and missionaries who traveled around Korea. The results of the analysis show
  that qualitative changes in the urban space of Seoul took place from 1896 to 1905, within the
  framework of modernization reforms of the period. The Hansung City Improvement Project
  should be considered as an example of modern urban planning in Korea, as it was initiated
  and implemented by the national government within modern legal framework, and Seoul
  became modern city of the early XX Century. The findings of the study are important for
  understanding the nature of the changes that took place in Korea, starting with the “opening
  of the ports” in 1876.
