This study conducted a study on the characteristics of the geographical names, such as the origin of the Seongnae name and the spatial relationship with the past town castle, and the suitability of the Seongnae name currently used. The results of the study are as follows: First, regarding the origin of the inner city name, it can be classified into three periods: the Joseon Dynasty, Japanese colonial era, and after the liberation of Korea. Second, the spatial relationship of the Seongnae and Eupseong can be divided into four categories. In some cases, the spatial scope of the Seongnae is part of the inner part of the Eupseong, including parts of the inner part of the Eupseong and the surrounding area, the entire inner part of the Eupseong and the surrounding area, and, in particular, the surrounding area of the Eupseong, which is not related to the inner part of the Eupseong. Third, there are three distinct categories in terms of the suitability of the use of Seongnae. It was divided into examples showing diversity in the use of the Seongnae, cases focusing on the symbolism of the Eupseong, and cases requiring the adjustment of the spatial scope of the Seongnae through further research.
