The placement of "Mojong(pavillion)" especially has a relation to the locational feature of the hamlet that characterizes the landscape. It is proved that; korean village is located according to "PUNGSU-CHIRISEOL" at the foot of a mountain. The characteristic of the villages location is reflecting the Peoples sense of the community's happiness. And the disposition of "Mojong" is concerned with orientation in the hamlet or making a special place. "Mojong" is consciously disposed and placed in order to enrich the landscape of the hamlet.
