高麗時期 遷都論의 提起와 生態環境 = The Argument for the Transfer of the Capital and the Ecological Environment during Goryeo

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study made an attempt to reinterpret the theory of moving the capital during Goryeo from the perspective of ecological environment by moving away from the old explanations based on the Fungshudocham(風水圖讖) theory.
The theory of moving the capital was often raised during Goryeo because of the weakened energy of land in the old capital. When the energy of land was weakened, it would be manifested in natural calamities, of which the ones that happened on Earth rather than the Heaven and the Gaegyeong area became reasons to transfer the capital. Specifically, the transfer of capital was related to such natural calamities as mountain animals appearing in Gaegyeong, abnormal phenomena in the water of wells and ponds, and royal court fires and large fires. These calamities were accepted as very bad signs by the residents of Gaegyeong, who became very uneasy, started to have serious awareness of crisis, and decided to move out of Gaegyeong. As a result, the argument for the transfer of the capital was advocated by many government officials including the kings as well as certain individuals.
There were several factors that caused the three calamities mentioned above, but the most important ones were the reduction of woods and fields and the damage of forest in Gaegyeong. The deterioration of its ecological environment represented by the reduction of woods and fields and the damage of forests was inevitable according to the development of Gaegyeong into a large city.
Those days, people cited the Fungshudocham theory in mysterious and incantatory words to argue for the transfer of the capital, but their logic was not completely ungrounded. The Fungshudocham theory was not, of course, enough to recognize changes to the ecological environment those days in a rational and scientific way.
It is estimated that they must have faced a lot of limitations with managing Gaegyeong, the capital of Goryeo, as a sustainable city. In Joseon, the management of the capital city was further improved, and they took the ecological environment into huge consideration.
