일제강점 후기 우리나라 도시화의 동인

초록

Korean cities experienced rapid growth around 1940. This study positively identifies that Japanese population was the main cause of the urbanization. Hosts of Japanese engineers and businessmen came to the Korean cities in the late 1930s. They contributed to Korean industrialization and urbanization. Commerce was less activated than industry at that time. The railroad system played the role that supported industry and commerce. The southern region of the Korean peninsular, which was agriculturally specialized, was relatively depressed comparing with the Seoul metropolitan area and Hamgyeong Provinces where the industry was activated. The large-scale outflow of peasants that Korea experienced in the late 1930s seems to be a normal process in the course of capitalist development.
