1. Korea is also known as a land of castles, since it used to have a large number of castles in it, though many of which remain now simply as castle sites.A castle may be characterized as a place where inhabjtants around it gathered inside of it, in an emerrency, bringing food and necessities along and defended it under the leadershin of its lord.A traditional Korea castle had to have its circular and extending walls in order to accommodate its people. In this resnect, the Korean castle is similar to the Chinese one but different from the Japanese castle.2. This paper has explored tendencies in castle building during the three periods in Korean history: the Three Kingdom Period (57BC-AB917), the Koryo Feriod (919-1391) and the Yi-dynasty Period (1392-1910).One of the main reasons for castle building in Korea was that Korea had to withstand offensives of its neighboring countries. Since it was situated in a geopolitical position in which it was easily suscentible to such attacks. Some of the castles built for this defending purpose, are still extent in various parts of the Korean Teninsular, rather intact; others remain in the ruins of their former castle sites, still rich in historical events and legendary tales.3. The Chinese city originated from a castle, the Japanese lowertown of a castle and the Korean townshin descended from a castle-all these have become the foundations of the later develonment of city community.When 139 townshins in Korea are investigated for their origin of develop ent, it is found that mast of them have been developed from their ancient castles.We may enumerate the following characteristics of important functions that the castle has played through the history; First, the function of regional community center formation; Second, the function of expanding the radius of communication and circulation activities; third, the functions of city formation; and finally, the function of formenting lengadary tales.4. More often than not, the castle, the edifice of the past, doesnt have a practical value of Utilization nowdays. However, the castle may, due to its inherent historic foundations and ties, privide its people living around it, with a sense of serene sentimental values and historical ties, and may play a role of strengthening a sense of integrity among its people, pointing at a direction imbued with philosonhy for future community formation.
