조선후기 영남지방 지방관의 행정소통 체계와 조정방식 = Administrational Communication Systems and Compromising Mechanisms of Local Governors in the area of Yeongnam In Late Choson

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyzes official documents to show the reality of administrational jobs of a local governor in the area of Yeongnam (嶺南). That can lead us to approaching to the ordinary life of a specific group such as local governors. I presume that the ordinary life of a local governor, unlike laymen`s ones, means repetitive administrational jobs that he should do. Administrational jobs of a local governor were mostly carried out through documentations. In this context, I especially focused on the administrational communication systems through deliveries and handling processes of documents. Main source of this writing comes from 『Yeong-Yeong-Jang-Gae-Deung-Nock(嶺營狀啓謄錄)』, written by a governor of Yeongnam, from Jun of 1751 to March of 1752. A Jang-Gae(狀啓) of a local governor contains not only administrational jobs of him but also the entire administration of his province. A Jang-Gae consists of original copies of followings: Kwan-Mun(關文) given to Su-Ryong(守令) from Kyung-Sa(監司), Cheop-Jung(牒呈) of Su-Ryong, Mun-Jang(文狀) of Meon-Lee-yim (面里任), and so on. The analyzing method I have chosen here was first to sort out the relevant official documents. Then I searched for the delivery systems of respective documents to subdivide them to more specific categories. Secondly, I quantified the delivery durations and processing times of the documents so that I could measure the communication speed between the local government and the central and between high and low levels of adminstration within the province. Thirdly, according to the contents of a Jang-Gae, I analyzed the frequency of each jobs and made monthly distribution charts. Acknowledging not many examples included, I found that a local governor concentrated more on judicial and taxational jobs. The jobs of a local governor was divided into seasonal special ones and regular ones. Fourthly, I analyzed how the local governor compromised the disputes in the administrational relation between the local and the central with the central government. According to the compromising method, I sorted out the conflict and negotiation processes in order to approach the reality of the local governor`s jobs.
