초록

Jungchuwon(the Governor-General’s Secretariat) held a consultation meeting per year and regular meetings every week and several meetings by the committee of research into municipal administration or other committees organized according to needs of that time. The most important one was the consultation meeting opened for a couple of days, which was called by the governor-general once or twice per year. During the consultation, Chamuis provided advice and suggestion verbally or in writing as requested by the governor-general. That is, it had a top-to-bottom structure where only matters ordered from the top are discussed, not where agendas or important matters are decided through resolution of Jungchuwon itself.
Even though Jungchuwon meetings of the 1910s did not play much of its consultation role, they were held every year after the 3·1 Movement in 1919. The issues raised in the meetings from 1921 to 1924 were mainly about social customs.
Also, Joseon Chongdokbu((The Government General of Joseon) presented bills to Jungchuwon meetings as a means to read Korean people’s thinking over the matter of legalization of Japanese civil laws to Korean ones, to prevent any disputes arising from the legalization.
In the end of the 1920s to the 1930s when Chongdokbu had planned and implemented agrarian improvement projects, industrial development and people’s enlightenment were the major issues of the meetings. The issues raised by Chamuis were about necessities of local people and discrimination problems between Korean and Japanese officials, but specifically, they focused on measures Chongdokbu had to take to control the ‘seditious’ current of that time. Chongdokbu wanted to gather information through reports of Jungchuwon officials on results of agrarian improvement projects, the popular will over those projects, trend of thought, and situations of the ‘peace and reconciliation of Japan and Korea’ policy.
The issues consulted to Jungchuwon under wartime conditions included how to concentrate Korean people’s resources and how to strengthen such ideas as ‘Nae Seon Il Che’ (Japan and Korea are one entity) and ‘Hwang Min Yeon Seong’ (Improve to be a Japanese citizen). Chamuis reported conditions of the national spirit mobilization project of the local districts where they were appointed and provided suggestions on improvement in resource mobilization for war, spiritual education related with Nae Seon Il Che, educational policies to equip educational institutions with proper facilities, reinforcement of various control instruments and the like.
Consequently, Chongdokbu utilized Jungchuwon in effective and multi-directional ways when formulating, establishing and executing colonial policies, and the members of Jungchuwon were also active in responding to the utilization. That is, Jungchuwon, when viewed as a subsidiary organ from the history of Japanese imperialism, was playing such an important role that it should be the last to be overlooked.
