This paper is a study of clarifying the research trend and network structure of the 『Tamna Culture』 through the keyword network analysis method. To achieve this research objective, a total of 694 papers were collected, ranging from the first issue of 1982 to the 74th issue in 2023. The main research results are as follows. First, the number of papers by year steadily increased, and the humanities and social science accounted for the majority. Second, as a result of keyword analysis, ‘culture’ appeared the most, followed by ‘region’, ‘society’, ‘Tamna’, ‘literature’, ‘myth’, and ‘Jeju language’. Third, as a result of conducting the centrality analysis, ‘culture’, ‘region’, ‘Jeju 4⋅3, ‘society’, and ‘myth’ were high in connection degree centrality, and ‘culture’, ‘Jeju 4⋅3’, ‘region’, ‘Tamna’, and ‘myth’ were high in betweenness centrality.
Major conclusions were drawn. It is necessary to come up with a plan to promote convergence research between the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences by spreading the identity of the『Tamna Culture』. Second, papers reflecting the current social environment should be submitted in order to diversify the research topics. Finally, in order to emphasize the differentiation of the 『Tamna Culture』, it is necessary to compare how the change in the main keywords of the『Tamna Culture』 differs from the change in the keywords of other academic journals.
