A Study of the Hygiene Adminstration in Recent Korea

This thesis is a study on the 마ange and the process of the development of the hygiene administration during the period of modernization of our nation which promoted by the 0야n door policy of our country chiefly under the pressure of the foreign countries. During that period Korea had reorganized the old political system radically and introduced the western medical system. Through the c10se study of literature concerning the system of the hygiene administration, the laws of health and hygiene, the environmental sanitation organizations and their practical activities the author obtained the conc1usions as following ; 1. The government passed around 40 laws of health and hygiene from the time when the bureau of hygiene was founded in 1894 to the annex of Korea to J apan_ Most of the laws were believed to be established by the enforecement of J apanese government. When the epidernics were prevailing, a decree for the prevention of the epidernics was proclairned by the J apanese president of the headquarters of national police. It is shown well that the sovereignty of Korea had been deprived. 2. After the annex of Korea to J apan, the hygiene ∞lice and the general police belonging to the bureau of national police shared the tasks of health and hygiene. This was a temporary sys tem which had existed just during the colonial period . .As for the water-supply which is the most important facility arnong the various environmental hygiene facilities, the rate of supply was rernarkably high in ] apanese rather than in Korean. 3. During the period of American rnilitary adrninistration. it is notable that the division of hygiene in the bureau of national police was replaced by the bureau of hygiene. This period is regarded as the turning point when hygiene adrninistration was operated by means of edu cation along with the introuction of American system of public health.
