울릉도의 무인도화와 독도영유권 문제

초록

Generally, the historic origin of Dokdo becoming a territory of Korea was the point of “subjection of Usanguk of Isabu” in 512. In 930 Usanguk paid a tribute and Goryeo officially recognized it. As a result, it was incorporated into the administrative district of Goryeo in the twelfth century. Later, it belonged to Gangwon-do during the Joseon dynasty. Since the start of Japanese piracy in 1350, the Joseon dynasty was concerned that Japanese pirates used Ulleungdo as their intermediate hub for plundering the East Coast. At last, in 1403, all residents of Ulleungdo were moved to the mainland, leaving Ulleungdo an unmanned island. Until residents were allowed to move there in 1883, Ulleungdo was unmanned island for 480 years. The reason the An Yong Bok incident in 1693 took place was because Ulleungdo was an unmanned island. The evacuation of Ulleungdo residents was a warning for Japanese pirates and led to the island being unmanned, which provided an excuse for the dispute over Dokdo as Japanese people moved to Ulleungdo via Dokdo. It must be remembered that the essence of the Dokdo dispute was based on Dokdo’s aggressiveness, such as plundering by Japanese pirates and under the logic of preoccupation of unmanned land.
