Procedure and Document Format for Requesting Construction of Local Administrative Offices by each Province in the 1930s

Abstract

During the Japanese colonial period in Korea, the Choson Governor-General was a kind of state organ. At that time, for a local administrative office to be built, each province( Do ) had to go through a certain administrative procedure and be approved by the Choson Government-General. In addition, it was necessary to receive financial support from the Choson Governor-General in the name of state assistance because the financial conditions of each province were not sufficient. To obtain this approval and financial support, the administrative procedure was divided into the first half, where each province requested the construction of a local administrative office, and the second half, where the Choson government-general approved it and supported it financially. There are studies on the first half procedure in 1914 and 1927, which were limited to the new construction of county( Goon ) offices among several local administrative offices. This study analyzed the first half of the construction of all local administrative offices in the 1930s.
