After the outbreak of the Korean War, many refugees entered Busan by land or sea route. Busan's population, which was about 470,000 before the Korean War, has nearly doubled since the January 4 recession. The refugees, who came down naked amid urgent wartime conditions, devoted themselves to economic activities and education to survive and to settle in a new life. During the Korean War, Busan is Provisional Capital. It was paralyzed by the influx of people exceeding the limit. The significance of Geoje Island, which restored it and played an auxiliary role, was considered. In particular, we looked at the educational environment of Geoje Island at that time and closely looked at how Geoje Island educated refugees based on oral materials of five refugees. At that time, Geoje Island was a quiet fishing village with a beautiful natural landscape with a population of 100,000 and was a place where the tension of war did not reach. This Geoje Island was responsible for the auxiliary functions of Busan, the capital city, which was already oversaturated with many refugees, and played a role of education and socialization as well as accepting prisoners of war and refugees. Through these oral materials, many refugees who came to Geoje Island by LST from North Korea, often disembarked in Geoje Island and moved back to Busan. They moved to Busan, where the foundation of economic activities was established, and raised funds to support their families through commerce, collaboration, and manufacturing, and it was shown that their children were educated while living in Geoje Island. In addition, the abundant natural environment of Geoje Island provided food for the survival of seafood, wild greens, and firewood, and provided land for the expansion of facilities such as schools and houses. In addition, it was found that the government procured insufficient supplies through sea routes, carried out education and socialization of refugees, childcare of refugee children, and treatment of the injured.
