20세기 인천의 도시화와 매춘문제 고찰 = 끽동과 옐로우하우스를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study considers the development of brothels and problems resulting from prostitution in the urban space of Incheon from the perspective of urbanization. The colonial power transplanted the Budoru (敷島樓) licensed prostitute quarter as part of urban infrastructure. Going　through liberation and the Korean War, the licensed prostitute quarter　turned into the ‘Comfort Station for UN Troops’, followed by the ‘Special　Zone’ during Park Jeong Hee regime and the ‘Female Prostitute　Concentration Zone’ during Jeon Doo Hwan regime as a way to promote　prostitution with a double-edged policy of restriction and protection.
　　Over the developmental dictatorship period, Incheon metamorphosed　into an industrialized and urbanized area. Conflicts arose as they began to　build the large-scale residential zones near the brothels. In the 1990s,　due to extensive implementation of the ‘Red Zones,’ residing near as　well as frequenting the licensed prostitute quarter became the focus of　public censure.
　　As the brothels are regarded as a social taboo, standing right on the　boundary of sexual morality, they have been subjected to restrictions and　controls without becoming part of ordinary space. Just because of the　location, brothels have been socially excluded, being condemned as the　main culprit of sexual morality issues, the encumbrance to child education　and the cause of house price falls for decades. Now, the socially　underprivileged are on the verge of eviction, which is an attempt to　conceal the decades-old spatial exclusion and violence against them. A　new scheme needs designing to read the nested discrimination against　them and to form the basis for strengthening public interest for the　socially underprivileged.
