Making the TAE-AN peninsula area where has been formed typical dispersed rual settlement due to specific natural, social, economical, and historal factors, the region for research, this study investigated the folk houses of the area geographically.
For the research, above all, as a precedent work, reference to documents about the background of the formulation of rural settlement in the TAE-AN penisula and analysis of the geomorphological map about diftributional type of the houses in the area were perfoormed : the TAE-AN peninsula, as the background of the formulation of rural settlement is mainly formed low mounatinous districts and hilly districts and has natural bases of the formulation of mountain village ; plain and river are developed weakly, so that the continuity of cultivated lond is rare, th underground water level is low comparatively, the land has many dry places and etc.
Since the prehistoric age, humanbeings have dwelled in the area. Real fixation of them, however, achieved after the IMJIN WAR and BYONG-JA WAR.
As for the distributional style of hourses, th dispersed rural settlement is prominent in the density of houses on the geomorphological map reduced to 1:25,000 and the borderland of lowland between denudtion surface(42.8%) and denudtion surface forms 76 percents of th whole area in the location of houses on the gemorphological map reduced to 1:5000.
Next, the wide research and analyisis about the Dong(Internal house) divisional style, the attached establishments, the Kan(room) divisional style and its change, th architectural materials and their form, and etc were performed on the basis of the whole and transcendental cognition about the dispersed rural settlement in the TAE-AN peninsula. First, the result of the examination of Dong divisional style and the attached establishments is as follows : in the Dong divisional style of the area, ㄱ-shaped type (39.7%) and ㅡshaped type (38.4%) are prominent, while ㄷ-shaped type (11.3%), ㅁ-shaped type, and ㅁ-shaped type appear partly. Also, the transformation of the basic form or the prototype of folk houses are numerous. The number of attached establishment for each folk house is mainly two or three Dongs. The mean number of it in the area, 2.85 Dong, is larger than that in other area, for it has large size of land comparatively and different type of cultivated corp.
Besides, in the classification of attached establishments, granary (storeroom) appear most while th granary for agricultural implemnts is fewest. Also, there is no attached establishment which shows the establishment rate above 50% in th class of 0∼500 pyung in the size of cultivated land.
Secondly, th result of examination about KAN divisional type and its change are that there are three-room type, four-room type, five-room type, and six-room type in the types of KAN division in the area : the three-room type appears mostly at the ㅡ-shaped type of folk hause; the four-room type, ㅡ-shaped type and ㄱ-shaped type of folk hause ; the five-room type, ㄱ-shaped type, ㄷ-shaped type, and ㄴㄱ-shaped type of folk hause ; the six-room type, ㄴㄱ-shaped type and ㅁ-shaped type of folk houses.
In the charge of KAN divisional type, ㅡ-shaped three-room type, th basic type, expands into ㄱ-shped six-room type through several courses of charge process. There are specific points in the bent type of KAN division : th Daecheong(large floor) plays a role the connective part ; two kitchens are set up at the both ends of ㄱ-shape in the ㄱ-shaped six-room type ; the reverse-order type of basic type appears in the same type of KAN division. The kitchen consists of a kitchen shelf, a fireplace, and a storeroom fo firewood. It has the first function of cooking place, but has declined the second function of strage place and work space, because of increase of various attached establishments.
The Dae-cheong and the maru before a door of a room function as assitantal dwelling and storage place, but their function is apt to decline and their matenals are substituted for cement at some folk houses. Also, the Nomalu in the southern area appears at some folk houses.
As for rooms, a living room, a sub-living room, and a room on the opposite side (a party room) occupy the major part of the folk house and there are a upper-story room and a back room at some folk houses. These rooms show different types according to family relation. Especially, there are a wall-shelf, a soybean malt-hanger, an a colthes rack in original type of living room.
Thirdly, upon investigation about the architectural materials and their forms, the result are as follows : the roofs are mostly a tile-roof(42.5%), a zinc roof(29.8%), and a slate roof(25.7%). In particular, there are zinc roofs much more than other area, (national part : 4.9%, Myon part : 9.6%) on account of the natural environment in the area. Also, in the features of type of roof, a thatched roof and zinc roof appear to the UJINKAK roof type and a tile roof, the HAPKAK roof type. Specially, the UJINKAK roof type is discovered on tile-roof partly, because only the materials of the UJINKAK type of thatched roof or zinc roof was substituted for tile.
Besides, the UJINKAK roof or PAKONG roof appear on a slate roof.
The materials of fence consist mainly of cement-bloc (72.5%) and the rest of them consist of live trees(12.2%), prefabricated cement(8.7%), toil(3.1%), Ti-Juk(3.1%), and stones(0.5%) The fence made of cheap materials shows coarsely, while the fence made of expensive materials appears intentional formative beauty. Specially, the fence made of bamboo creastes peculiar scenery.
The materials of wall consist mostyl of a mud block and red block. Some thatched roof are made up the mixture of toil, straw, and lime. The form of wall is rough when it consists of low-grade materials and shows more or less formative beauty when it consists of high-grade materials. Besides, the number of chimney in the area increases with the number of rooms. The larger the size of house is, the more people decorate their houses.
The effects of this study will be important basic material for understanding of geographical character of the folk houses in the TAE-An peninsula and one aspect of the whole study about the formulation of rural settlement in it. In future, this study will be approached with the viewpoint, the folk house as one consituent element of the dispersed rural settlement'. That is, it will be focused on 'the speciality of folk house in the dispersed rural settlement' and comparative study with other area. Hence, the division of cultural region with the area in the center will be possible, making the construction and type of folk house an index.
