This paper focuses on the conflict between women divers, “Jamsu” and local communities for fishing rights since moving from their hometown throughout the colonial and postcolonial period. It has been claimed to be the women's strength, sacrifice and progressiveness that they used to leave home for fishing and come back. On the other hand, there has not been any discussion on social environment such as colonial rule which caused conflicts. The writer gave attention to the social back ground of this moving that took place under the colonial rule and examined what happened in colonial period and after the period. The fishing ground that these women worked on was local-commons and the aspect of the conflicts shows who and how to access the resources. It has been shown that the women's moving was forced in order to collect the natural resources rather than their fishing rights since the right of ‘free collecting’ and ‘free fishing’ was raised based on colonial custom and the fishing right at that time was not acceptable to local communities. It has been found the fishing of women divers that changed from movement to settlement without the fishing right in the seaport city(Busan). The women fishers ‘kicked’ by city development are working at neighborhood fishing ground however this fishing is taken place without any fishing right and has problematic tendency. I criticise ‘Freedom of the Sea’ that sea is free space for anyone through the women's moving was caused by social factors and their settlement process.
