Seoju is one of the nine weeks of the ancient period, and according to literature records, the construction of Seojuseong Fortress has a long history of 2573. This is the land of Oseongtong-gu, a political and military hub, and flood disasters have frequently led to frequent reconstruction of fortresses. In particular, it is also an important place to show that the function of the fortress is defensive and has a function of preventing floods. This study analyzed the shape of Seojuseong Fortress and the characteristics of urban spaces in the Myeongcheong period through excavation data and literature data.

울산광역시 울주군 서생면 서생리 진하해수욕장 서편 야산 구릉에 위치한 서생포왜성(西生浦倭城)은 임진왜란 시기에 가토 기요마사(加藤淸正)에 의해 축성되었다. 서생포왜성은 남․동해안 각지에 현존하는 30여개의 왜성 가운데 보존상태가 가장 뛰어나 왜성 연구의 최적지가 되고 있으며 임란 중 사명대사가 가토 기요마사와 4차례에 걸친 평화교섭을 진행하여 많은 외교적 성과를 거둔 역사적 장소이기도 하다. 또한 임진왜란 직후부터 1895년까지 약 300년 동안 조선 수군(水軍)의 동첨절제사영(同僉節制使營)으로 사용되었기에 근세기 한일간 축성법의 비교연구뿐만 아니라 성곽이용방식에 대한 상호 고찰도 가능하다. 이에 본 연구는 지금까지 주로 일본인 학자들에 의해 연구가 진행되었던 서생포왜성에 대한 조사연구를 진행함으로써 일차적으로는 왜성의 성곽구조와 체성 축조기법상의 특성을 밝히고 이차적으로 한국성곽과의 비교연구를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구방법으로는 일차적으로 문헌조사를 실시하고 이를 토대로 현장실측조사를 진행하였다. 그 결과 입지 및 평면형태, 성곽 내부의 공간구조, 虎口와 해자 등의 방어시설물, 체성 및 隅角部축조수법, 성벽의 기울기 등 서생포왜성의 제반 특성을 이해할 수 있게 되었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze paejang system of the castle constructions in the late period of Chosun dynasty. Moreover, this study aimed to examine effects and influences of its constructional productivity. The results are as follow ; 1. Paejang was originally a sort of military positions. Thereafter it had been adopted to the various fields like soonrapaes. Pae, which was a regular working unit organized with 30~50 laborers, took charge of the works allocated with its own chargeable section. 2.The first adoption of paejang system was found at the construction of Ganghwa-oyseong in 1690. Since the period of King Yeongjo and Jeongjo, it was generally used as a working system. 3. Yoo Hyeongwon had early suggested that this system should be adopted as a reformative system because it had a perfect command system like Soko-je, the provincial military system. 4.At the constructions of Dongnae-upseong, Jeonjoo-upseong and Daegoo-upseong in the period of King Yeongjo, paes were organized to 40~60units, and worked in the fields of masonry, carriage and picking of stones. 5.At the construction of Soowon-seong in the period of King Jeongjo, a large number of various paejangs participated in all of working fields. Especially masonry-paes were usually organized with over 100 units. 6.It was estimated that paejang system surely could guarantee saving labors and term of works. Moreover, it was a basis for the further development form of dogup-je, a contracted work system. 7. Paejang system was applied in the constructions of Buddhist temples since the middle period of 1700s and later, it was widely used in the constructions of palaces.
