Abstract

In this research, we have extracted historical records regarding the geotechnology from the Goryeosa and the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty which are rated as ancient books that have objective views in the Goryeo Dynasty and the Joseon Dynasty in order to understand the national awareness and the social situation of the past events. We used the Korean history database system of National Institute of Korean History (NIKH) and collected related records by searching specific keywords such as volcano, mining, hot spring, and meteorite. According to the historical records, geological events such as the volcano and meteorite were regarded as important issues which were enough to be recorded in annals and surveyed by the dispatched government officials to the fields of events. In case of the hot springs, government officials conducted explorations of hot springs at king's orders and developed the potential areas of hot springs. Among the historical records on mining, the contents of geotechnology including the contents about discovered minerals and its locations can be easily found from those ancient books. Especially, it is possible to understand the history of geotechnology such as an establishment of modern organizations and a capitalistic flow for development through the history of the mining in the late Joseon Dynasty.

이 연구에서는 고려시대와 조선시대의 역사서 중 객관성을 가진 것으로 평가되는"고려사"와 "조선왕조실록"을 이용하여 지질자원과 관련된 역사 기록들을 발췌하고 당시의 국가적인 인식과 사회 상황을 파악하였다. 기록 발췌를 위해서 국사편찬위원회의 한국사데이터베이스시스템을 이용하였고 키워드(화산, 채광, 온천, 운석) 검색을 통해 관련 기록들을 수집하였다. 기록에 의하면, 화산과 운석과 같은 지질 현상을 실록에 기록할 만큼 중요하게 생각하였고 국가의 관리들이 현장에 파견되어 현상을 조사하였다. 온천의 경우, 왕의 명령으로 온천 탐사를 진행하고 발견된 유망한 지역을 개발하는 현장에 관한 기록이 있다. 지질자원에 관련된 기록 중 채광에 관련한 기록이 가장 많은데, 발견된 광물의 종류와 지역에 관한 내용이 기록되어 있다. 특히, 조선 후기의 채광 역사를 통해서 지질자원 개발의 자본주의적인 흐름과 개발을 위한 근대적인 조직 개설 등의 지질자원 발달사를 파악할 수 있다.
