Abstract

The development of the spatial structure of a traditional Korean village and its social hierarchy is analysed using a river engineering approach to determine the relevance of river flooding and examine how floods have transformed the landscape around the village. The subject focuses on the village of Hahoe, which was registered as a World Heritage Site in August 2010 for its well-preserved traditional architecture and beautiful natural landscape. The village is located on a small plain surrounded by mountains and within a loop of the serpentine Nakdong River. As a riverside village surrounded by water on three sides, its development is assumed to have been influenced by flooding, but no study has previously investigated the correlation between village development and inundations.
