Most of the changes found on the toi-maru of the Sang-chun-heon Historic House indicate that the upper structure of the toi-maru of the late Joseon Dynasty houses where toi-bo was installed was not completed in an instant. Toi-maru with stud is especially typical in 3-Dori type Structure, and can be found in many historic houses in Yang-dong Village, where the many 3-Dori type Structure is located. This type can be interpreted as the intermediate type that began at the eaves was settled as a toi-maru with a separate toi-bo. It seems that the toi-maru in front of the on-dol room at the time of the construction of the Sang-chun-heon historic house would not have been the same as it is now. The members dividing the on-dol room, the walls, and the various incomplete appearances seen in the window composition can be construed as traces of the change. The fact that all three types of houses that occurred during the spread of toi-maru after the mid-Joseon Dynasty can be examined can be added to the existing evaluation of cultural property houses in Yang-dong Village.

본 연구는 의미가 퇴색된“마루”의 개념을 사전적 정의, 선행연구검토, 심층면담 등을 통해 정리 ‧ 제시함으로써 한국 전통춤 형식연구를 위한 일차적 자료를 제공하는 것에 목적과 의의가 있다. 요지를 밝히면 세 가지이다. 첫째,“마루”는 한국인의 삶 속에서 근원, 기준, 꼭대기, 널빤 지로 바닥을 깔아 놓은 곳 등을 지칭하는 용어로 통용된다. 둘째, 한국 전통춤에서 “마루”는 춤 구성의 기본 단위로, 축소 ․ 생략 ․ 확대되는 유동성을 갖는다.“마루”의 유동성은 표현과 의 미를 구현시키는 전통적 방식을 보여주는 것이다. 셋째,“마루”를 중심으로 할 때, 한국 전통춤 형식은“마루>어휘적 춤사위>기법에 주안점을 둔 춤사위”등으로 서열화할 수 있다.

Many researches on the typology of 'Maru'(Wooden deck) in Korean traditional houses have mainly focused on the high-class houses in the central region of Korea. They were mainly concerned on defining Maru's typology by social status of the owner, based on the researches regarding its physical and spatial properties. Maru in the high-class traditional houses has been served as an essential architectural feature showing the social status of owners as well as adapting in the region of humid and hot summer. This research investigated the typology of Maru's placement in traditional single houses of four Kan in Chonnam province, which shows many differences in its placement according to the regions. Research results show that the typology of Maru's placement and openness is different with the location of houses within the region. This difference affects on the circulation of movement, which eventually affects on the pattern of space use. The difference is also very likely to be affected by the natural environment of geography and climate of the region.
