SPATIAL FORMATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF HOUSES IN JAPANESE MIGRANT FISHING VILLAGE COLONY IN OENARO-DO, KOREA

This paper aims to clarify spatial formation and transformation of Japanese migrant fishing village the colonial period of Korea in Oenaro-do Island. The fishing village in Oenaro-do is shaped in the unique topographical structure, where river meets the sea at right angle. Consequently, the village was formed into "L" shape. The web of road is composed of three basic types of street, present coastal street, inner old coastal street parallel to the present one and perpendicular alley connecting these two roads together. According to these street pattern, plots of land in the block are formed into distinctive trapezoidal shape. Taking notice of spans in the width of building, it can be classified into one bay type, two bay type and, multiple bay type. Typical model are one bay type and two bay type. Generally, one bay type and two bay type have rectangular spatial configuration simply composed of shop, kitchen and residence respectively. Due to narrow frontage, transformation can be observed in the unification of building which can be classified into horizontal (depth) and vertical (width) unification. Horizontal unification is achieved by combination of two buildings in the row which use the same partition wall, while vertical unification is attained by combination of narrow width of two buildings in each rear wall.
