This paper is a part of "A Case Study on The Dwellings and Settlement of Korean Immigrants to North-Eastern Province of China". Among various subjeets from the study, this paper covers with the spaces and life style in the dwellings of Korean Immgrants. The purpose of this paper is to discribe how their dwelling culture has been moved and changed to a new environment
One rural village of Korean Immgrants named "Ch'ang-ts'al" in Yen-pien Province was seleeted where we investigated more than 110 households. From the forn~al interview, I colleet the data on the fan~ily structure, fanily economic state, dwelling spaces and its use, and dwelling facillities and fnrniture. From informal interview with key infonnants, I analyze how they have changed their dwelling spaces and life style since they moved here. Based on the analysis of the data, I conclude that major features of their dwelling and life style has been moved from Korean penninsula, specially from 'Hamkyong' Province where their ancestor has lived This features arc summarized as follows:
a. Dwelling spaces and its functions are simillar to typical dwelling type of Hamkyong Province. b. They use "Chongii" for both a cooking space and a major living space.
c. They have a life style of sitting on the floor.
d. Bedroons arc differentiated with trale and fetrale.
e. Most of their dwelling facillities and furniture arc different from those of Chinese in the san~ province.
Since they immigrated, there has been some social changes which could influence on making their dwelling culture. But they have preserved their cultural identity on their dwellings and life style. So I suggest that the dwelling culture of a society would be seldom changed by immigration, as long as they will be given similar conditions such as the independent ethnic community, the same ecosystem, and economical autonomy. |
