This thesis is about the unique character of Hansung(漢城)’s mixed-residence quarter. To clarify this unique character, I analyzed the concept of ‘mixed-residence’ and also reviewed the reorganization of residency and the attempt to treaty revision at the specific time. Mixed-residence in Hansung was originated from the Regulations for Maritime and Overland Trade Between Chos n and Qing(朝淸商民水陸貿易章程) in 1882, which specified the rights to open a store in Hansung. Since then, each countries including England had equal shares of Qing’s rights and interests. However the rights and interests of Qing was acquired by the suzerainty against Chos n. So it was inadequate to define the regulations of Hansung’s residency. Moreover, Hansung’s significance as the capital made the mixed-residence issue a political, diplomatical and socio-economical matter. On one hand, the mixed-residence issue in Hansung could be grasped as the process of reestablishment between Chos n and Qing’s relationship based on modern international law. On the other hand, it could also be the process of Japan’s reorganize towards Chos n’s colonialization.
