<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Dear all,<br><br></div>While working on dissertation
research in Cheju, a local intellectual and colleague informed me that
"자연부락" (or 자연촌락) was a Japanese colonial invention. The term is still
used on Cheju among geographers (notably in the 제주도지 [2006]) and for
tourism reasons. I was wondering if anyone knows when this term came
into being and how long has it been used in Korea. Also, are there any
particular books or articles (in Korean or in English) on the topic?<br><br></div>Best regards,<br></div>Tommy Tran<br></div>Graduate Student<br>University of California Los Angeles</div>
