[KS] Korean Commons?

Hi folks,

Is there a Korean concept that is equivalent to "commons?"

I am interested in thinking about mountains and the Baekdu-daegan as a
commons.  From the perspective of "San-shin" or Korean mountain worship, it
would appear that mountains are a kind of spiritual commons.

Would it be wrong to use the concept of the commons, which has a very
specific history in England, to read Korean practices?  The struggle for
the commons has become a global rhetoric that addresses many different
geographical and historical situations.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
John
