Abstract

This study examines the characteristics of the cultural landscape of traditional Korean villages by focusing on the gates of hanok (traditional Korean houses). To this end, three traditional Korean villages in Gyeongsang-do province were selected. In Museom Village, Yeongju, the results demonstrated that the gate landscape varied according to the location of houses. In Hwangsan Village in Geochang, the uniformity of the land- scape, was preserved through the collective efforts of the village community. Finally, in Yangdong Village, Gyeongju, where most houses were built on a slope, the landscape of gates differed according to topographic characteristics. The analytic results of these tar- get villages indicate that traditional Korean villages were constructed based on the common Korean perception of landscape creation through adaptation to the natural environment and that they have retained different characteristics in terms of their spa- tial, humanistic, and geographical aspects. As such, this study confirmed that hanok gates have a significant value in academic research as visual units of landscape that contribute to forming the overall landscape of traditional Korean villages as well as objects that represent Korean cultural identity and perception of landscape.
