쌀의 군산에서 대(大)군산으로 - 일제강점기 군산안내서를 통해 본 농업이민의 목적 - = From Rice of Gunsan to Great Gunsan: The Purpose of Agricultural Emigration as Seen through a Guidebook during the Japanese Occupation Era

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the modern era, Japanese policy elites, grounded in the tenets of modern rationalism, erroneously posited that proffering ideal conditions to agrarian communities would incentivize their migration to colonies, resulting in the abandonment of their cultivated lands. The Japanese government's ambition to establish a comprehensive colony through mass agricultural migration found articulation in theoretical frameworks such as "The immigration concentration policy between Manchuria and Korea Concentrated Emigration Theory," "Oriental Development Company Emigration," and "Group Agricultural Emigration," culminating in a series of experimental pursuits marked by trial and error. The envisaged mass emigration of Japanese nationals failed to materialize predominantly due to the vigorous resistance from Korean agrarian communities confronted with the prospect of dispossession through large-scale migration. Gunsan emerged as an experimental crucible for mass agricultural migration, owing to its prominence as a significant rice production region. Promotional publications like "Wealthy Gunsan" (1907), "Introduction to Gunsan" (1915), and "Introduction to Gunsan" (1926) endeavored to portray Gunsan as a prosperous enclave for rice cultivation, enticing numerous Japanese immigrants to relocate, establish familial ties, integrate with local Koreans, and ultimately materialize the envisioned "Great Gunsan," predominantly inhabited by Japanese residents. While the promotional emphasis centered on "Gunsan of Rice" this was not the ultimate objective. Nevertheless, the recorded immigrant figures in the three volumes notably fell short of a demographic scale befitting a "Great Gunsan." At the juncture of Japan's capitulation, the Japanese residential enclave in Gunsan did not exceed the dimensions of a conventional rural township. The realization of the conceptualized "Great Gunsan" remained elusive.
