Abstract

The study aims to investigate the continuation and fluctuations of the urban space in Gwanghwamuntong, Kyeongseongbu during the Japanese colonial period. The spatial structure of Gwanghwamuntong was analyzed by dividing it into the early and later stages of the Japanese colonial period. This analysis mainly focused on the physical form and operation of the streets. During the early part of the Japanese colonial period, the main reason for a change in spatial structure involved changing the physical form. However, the street structure and the urban organization surrounding Gwanghwamuntong was maintained with no significant changes made in the operation of the streets. During the late Japanese colonial period, the physical form of the streets changed due to the introduction of new forms of transportation. Eventually, Gwanghwamuntong became a street that prioritized vehicles rather than a street where various activities could take place.
