다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of his paper is to examine the growth process and the characteristics of the Gaya force, which was built in the east Honam region, by substituting previous surface surveys and the accumulated archeological data for the network of roads of that time. In other words, applying the contents of Sankyeongpyo to the east Honam region and dividing it into three river spheres, such as Geum-gang, Seomjin-gang, and Nam-gang, this research aims to review what growth processes each of the three spheres of Gaya showed. According to the Sound Similarity Theory, historians have presumed that there was Sanggimun in the Seomjin-gang sphere, the east Honam region, which was the only recorded country in the history until the early 6th century, but the middle- or large-scale old tombs of Gaya countries which verify the existence of Sanggimun have not been discovered yet. On the contrary, the east region of Geum-gang and Nam-gang spheres, where the middle- and large-scale old tombs of Gaya were densely and widely distributed, formed the individually different regional ranges from the Seomjin-gang sphere geographically, because they are obstructed naturally by the mountain ranges of the Geumnam Honam Jeongmaek or Baeckdudaegan, In addition, according to the collection of the various earthenwares excavated and the development of old tombs, there was a great possibility that the Gaya, which was built in the east range of Geum-gang and Namgang water spheres, existed together with many other Gaya-related small countries of respectively different state-level reign structures, based on the close interchange relationship with the Great Gaya. It could be inferred that there was a small country of Gaya line that took charge of building a large-scale construction of walls and managing signal-fire posts in the east range of the Geum-gang sphere, while there seemed to be Gimun, also one of the small countries of Gaya, in the Nam-gang sphere, for which Baekje revealed conflicts with a small country Banpa in the early 6th century, when Baekje tried to attack and occupy the west Kyeongnam region by land.
