다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The housing problem under the rule of Japanese Imperialism is closely related to the land of the cities. In our traditional land system, the authority of tenants related to the using of land and houses was relatively strong. However, after the occupation of Imperialist Japan, the housing problem had become complicated, connected with the matter of land because the right for using of land was completely excluded in the process of the Land Investigation Project.
The citizens moving to cities lived in mud huts or dugouts from the beginning of 1920s, an'd those in a little better condition rented houses at monthly rent. Their housing problem resulted from the concentration of houses. In addition the tenants' residing right was being seriously violated 50% to 70% of citizens lived in rented houses because of the concentration of land and houses. And the housing problem spread toward the small and medium-sized cities in the local area.
The movenent for solving the housing problem in early 1920s began as a cultural movement by national capitalists. During the late period of 1920s and early 1930s, the citizens made organtzations themselves and try to obtain the residing right. Activities of Tenants' Union were done in small and medium-sized cities as well as big cities such as Seoul, Pyung-yang, Pusan, Tae-gu, Shineeju. They are movement groups for obtaining the housing right of citizens Although they were in the oppressing situation, the citizens spread their movement in the form of Tenants' Union up to the late of 1930s.
