In this thesis, I am going to examine Japanese's periodic, regional, birth distribution and its characteristic, the changes of economic activities including their land management, in order to understand gross scale of the assets and its kinds which Japanese had left in Korea before the liberation. On the basis of such examination, I would like to figure out the effect Japanese's economic activities have had on the Korean society before and after the liberation. Before the liberation, the assets Japanese had left were nationally possessed by 'the Dealing Law of Properties Reverted to the Government.' But in order to examine the reality and the problems of the properties reverted to the government after-liberation, it is necessary that we should understand the gross scale of the assets and its kinds which Japanese had left in Korea.
First of all, I will analyse Japanese's gross scale, the periods of their migration, the regional distribution, and the purpose of migration. Concretely, by examining Japanese's demographical characteristics according to the period, the birth places, the industries, the regions, using various statistical data, I will figure out the macroscopical picture of the Japanese who had lived in Korea. This research on the process of Japanese migration and settlement will help to study the Japanese society structuring process in Korea, its role of advancing army of Imperial Japan, its effect on Korea's tradition and society.
Especially in this thesis, I will focus on the structuring process of Japanese landowners and the reality of asset accumulation. Because, before liberation, among the assets Japanese had accumulated, the rate the land had taken was very high, its effect it had had on the Korean society was also very serious after liberation.
