Andong region is the area that keeps the Confucian culture in Joseon dynasty well and includes the most head houses. There are 43 head houses that are designated as cultural heritage. This research investigated what the geographical thought is that the noblemen in Joseon dynasty took as the base of location. First of all, the origin of Feng shui and the view of Feng shui by noblemen in Joseon dynasty were considered. The correlation between mountain and water concerning head house's selecting a location was also considered in terms of Feng shui. The location and space of head house village are as follows. First, head houses were located in propitious sites. Second, the location and space that the main mountain and left blue dragon and right white tiger wrap in and waters flow wrapping and rotating around the village so far has been prosperous as a head house village. Lastly, the location and space from which you can see the water sneak away has not been prosperous as a village. However, it was prepared with Sasinsa(four mountains around) so that it gave births to scientists of integrity. Therefore, arrangement based on these results shows that initial settlers of Head house villages in Andong region in Joseon dynasty must prefer to a place where mountains and waters are in harmony(balance of yin and yang) when they were to select a location and space. In conclusion, it is judged that the theory of emphatical science of Feng shui is applied to selection of location.
