Although it was impossible, Japanese colonialists tried to establish westernized medicalsystem in colonial Korea. There were no substitutions for medical labor force, and Koeransare not accustomed to it. Japanese colonialists cheapened Korean tradiotional doctor, butthey had to educate some of them about preventing cholera. They even made a suggestionto them to build Pibyongwon, which is Korean style isolation hospital. Strictly speaking,encouraging and inducing to discuss about korean friendly agenda in korean society is atrick to shift burdens of health care onto themselves, justified using public interest. But Koreantradiotional doctors and entrepreneurs responded actively on this proposal. Becauseprevention and treatment of cholera were a critical issue to Korean society. There were some logical arguments required to Park, Younghyo to speak out about Pibyongwoncampaign toward Korean society in Seoul, although it was induced. In the processof motion the first man on the initiator list was Kim, Yunsik. Park tried to use symbolicfeatures of Kim, who was a representative of Confucian scholars. Kim treated people whomake a huge effort to solve local problems by themselves as iconic figure. From the perspectiveof autonomist Park, ‘traditional literati’s way of solving problems by leading in autonomic area’ is the strongest logical argument to support his stance as the one of the leadersof Pibyongwon campaign. Although critical mind about leader’s autonomic role had beensucceeded to literati of late Chosun period, those Chosun style inertia was spoiled by Kimand spoiled inertia was reused by Park. The inertia and the condition of reinterpreting can be identified in the discussion aboutthe location. The designation to construct public hospital in the center of the city wascompletely different from perspectives in Chosun period, which was to build an isolationhospital in the outside of the city wall. Koreans’ disharmony to the public hospital was becauseof not only hygiene police system and western medical system, but also the locationof it which invaded Korean citizens’ life-world. As the campaign went into orbit, the locationof it became an issue again. Leaders of the campaign tried to find some suitable placesbased on the traditional perspective, they encounter opposition every time. Oppositionswere severe from outer city wall. As demands about improving residential environment increaseddramatically in Korean society, old locational inertia disappeared from the sights ofurban citizens.
