The purpose of this paper is to research how redistributing public finance influenced commercial development in early modern Korea. Choson dynasty made a reformation the tributary system called as Daedong-pub[大同法] through 17~18th centuries. It meaned that the unit of tax got more equalized such as rice or coin and it was impossible to calculate appoximately the tax amount after Daedong-pub. Actually due to carry out Daedongpub,the more larger amount of tax than Ho-jo[戶曹] got into the granaries belonged to Sunhye-chung[宣惠廳] every year. Sunhye-chung redistributed its own finance to contracted merchants such as Gong-in[貢人] or Jeongye-in[廛契人]. They purchased the goods designated by each governmental agencies[貢物] in Seoul market and then procured to them. During 18~19th centuries governmental offices and their contracted merchants increased and Seoul market also got enlarged. Analzing the aspects of the increase of central government agencies through 17th~mid 19th centuries, we can find two noticeable points. One thing, the agencies of central government have increased by 32.1% till mid 19th century. The other thing, the most of them were agencies for sacrificial service or royal family and the second most of them were military agencies. Each group was tend to be located another space in Seoul. Specially, there were many of procurement agencies for Royal family[供上衙門] and Royal houses[宮房] that operate their own finances[內帑] in the mid-west side and northwest of Seoul around Gyungpok Palace[景福宮]. Royal family spent their own money and finances supported by central government in Seoul market. On the other hand, the military camps[軍營] were established around Changdeok palace[昌德宮] and a lot of serviceperson lived there after Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592[壬辰倭亂]. Military camps increased their funds by lending grains to people or producing coins and joined commercial transaction in Seoul market. Professional soldiers and servicepersons sold theiry handiworks in Y-heon market[梨峴] of the northeast side. They got salaries from Hojo or payed for military service from Boin(保人). They also had begun to take part in trading under the aegis of military camps or influential officers in seoul market. Because of their commercial activity, the new markets in northeast and south side of Seoul got developed continuously utill 19th century. In short, Seoul market got developed in late Choson in consequence that the procurement system for sacrificial service and royal family had enlarged and military camps had joined actively for commerce.

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.
