Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research analyzes developments by the policy of social work in Korea under Japanese colonial rule period.
Especially, it scopes public laundries in Korea and analyzes discussions regarding the development of public laundries as a part of social work in Korea. 48 public laundries were intensively established in the 1920s. Per the public laundry plans, there are similarities and differences between facilities. In sum, construction plans were not standardized. During this period, it was also recommended that traditional white Korean clothes be dyed in colors. Establishing public laundries and introducing incentives for the dyeing of white Korean clothes were supposed to be two measures to solve problems of the laundry concerning traditional white Korean clothes.
This conclusion implies that the facility development of social work concerns social responses under the rule of each colony and traditional or modern culture.
