다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

One of the major changes in rural communities in the late Joseon period was the increase in the number of clan villages where one or two groups with the same family name and family origin dominated the village exclusively. Clan villages were further expanded during the 18th and 19th centuries, and they seemed to have been divided into various types of clan villages in that process.
The internal structures of Gyeongju Choi's clan villages in the late Joseon period differed in type. Some villages consisted of several genealogies, and others were composed of a single genealogy. There were also villages that were not a clan village but were gregariously inhabited mainly by illegitimate genealogies, and others mainly by soldiers and craftsmen. As the formation of a clan village was affected by the internal situations of both patrilineal descent group and rural community, all villages had not developed into clan villages. However, clan villages and other types of villages had a commonality in that they showed a gregarious aspect based on the medium of blood relations.
