Landscape Changes in a Local Lineage-based-Village of South Korea: The Hidden Geographies of Darsil Village, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this paper is to explore the spatial relationships between land and people of a certain local lineage-based-village of Korea through the concept of a ‘precarious peace’. During the last 40 years, based mainly on the notion of Neo-Confucianism, the historical and cultural meaning of the local lineage-based-villages of Korea has been explored not only by Anglophone and Korean but also by Korean human geographers. Despite of the great achievement of their research, it seems to be hard to say that multifaceted-conceptual approaches – peace, materiality, landscape, modernity, etc. - to the local lineage-based-villages of Korea has been unveiled in the context of historical and cultural geography. Using GIS data analysis, on the land registry records of Darsil village between the 1910s and the 1970s-1980s and interview data collected from the villagers, the paper shows that water conflicts for rice cultivation of the village was an ever-present danger, threatening the collapse of the community of Darsil village before the 1970s-1980s. From this empirical basis, a concept of peace as a precarious socio-spatial process emerges, contributing historical and cultural meaning for the local lineage-based-villages of Korea.
