영문 초록

In the Joseon Dynasty, urbanization was very stagnant. At that time, Joseon was the most retarded area as far as urbanization is concerned among the populated areas of the world. Nevertheless, overall population density in the national space was relatively high. What it means is that most of the population was scattered in rural areas across the country and engaged in agriculture, and the economic system was self-sufficient. The following five aspects explain the causes of the retarded urbanization in Joseon: prosperity of the local land aristocrats who had strong autonomy; their intentional avoidance of residing in central towns of the region; the deliberate suppress of commercial and market development of the government; and the undeveloped road system.
