다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective: The objective of this research is to find out status and consciousness about shrouds according to changes of Jeju's rural funeral ritual while reviewing Jeju's traditional shrouds. Background: Since it was said that shrouds and changes of funeral ritual have very systematic correlation according to the result of precedent researches, changes of funeral ritual of Jeju's rural area, where consciousness of customs regarding tradition is much stronger, were examined while simultaneously studying consciousness about traditional shrouds. Method & Results: As the result of examination through literary investigation, visits to rural homes, visits to production places of Jeju's shrouds and interviews with grandmothers designated as human cultural assets of traditional Jeju shrouds, etc, it was found out that Jeju's rural funeral ritual had been rapidly changed since 2000 and traditional Jeju shrouds are disappearing. Conclusion: In particular, old women of Jeju have considered preparation of their own and their husbands' shrouds in advance as a virtue but as it gradually became more difficult to produce and prepare traditional shrouds at homes and as the space of funeral was changed from their own houses to hospitals and/or commercial funeral homes, it was found out that a ratio of people's using general shrouds sold in market was increased and it is believed that this kind of trend will be accelerated more and more in the future. Application: The results of the publishing trend analysis might help to determine the editing policy of the JESK.
