The purpose of this article is to look at technological and institutional elements of telephone system, and spatial distribution of telephone system in Seoul during colonial period. For this purpose, technological and institutional elements of telephone system was regarded as ‘environment of use' which determine user's behavior, and its political characteristics were investigated. In chapter 2, the political and military characteristics of technological telephone system are founded from the fact that the Government-General of Korea(GGK) had depended on primarily alterations of telecommunication mode, instead of depending on of extensive installation of telecommunication facilities, as essential measure of coping with diverse problems, such as contradiction between low-grade of transmission technology and increasing telecommunication demand. For example, GGK depended primarily on ‘simultaneous telegraphy and telephony' mode. Also, institutions related to telephone subscription, phone call, and charge of telephone fee were established in the direction of keeping a firm on not so much irregular phone call as regular call. Telephone system of this sorts had been diffused throughout Seoul city. In chapter 3 and chapter 4, the transfiguration of local telephone service area in Seoul and its spatial bias were examined. At first, local telephone service area in Seoul was changed roughly three times during colonial period. Local telephone service area began to be kept in order in 1910s, and was established systematically as telephone exchange system consisting of one head office and two branch office in 1923. And one more branch office was added in eastern area of Seoul in 1942. Even though there were more or less alterations, spatial distribution of telephone facilities in Seoul was hardly changed. Local service area of head office, covering business zone and Japanese place of residence, had exceeding 50% of the number of total telephone. If including Yong-San branch office covering military zone, the proportion was over 70%. On the other side, Gwang-Hwa-Moon branch office covering Korean place of residence about 30%. As a result, Korean people had to go to usually post office or public telephone nearby their place of residence. In sum, spatial structure of telephone diffusion in colonial Seoul was under bias toward nation. Keywords : Telephone System, Telephone Subscription District, Diffusion, Spatial Distribution

서울학연구소는 ‘서울학’을 육성, 확산하기 위해 서울 600년을 계기로 하여 1993년 서울특별시의 지원 아래 서울시립대학교 부설로 설립되었습니다.
서울학의 연구대상은 도시 서울입니다.
서울학은 서울의 장소, 사람, 일, 문화를 만들어내고 변화시키는 과정과 힘을 탐구하여 서울이 지닌 도시적 보편성과 특수성을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 합니다. 서울학여느 종합적 관점을 견지하면서 학제적 연구를 지향합니다.
서울에 대한 여러 기성학문 분야(역사학, 지리학, 사회학, 인류학, 경제학, 건축 및 도시계획학등)의 연구관심과 성과가 상호조명되고 교차되는 데에 서울학에 영역이 있습니다.
서울학의 학문적 관심은 오늘의 서울을 만들어낸 역사적 과정을 이해하는 데에 있지만, 그 실천적 관심은 현재의 서울에 대한 심화된 성찰을 통해 보다 나은 서울의 미래를 그리는데에 있습니다.
