The question in the current stage about the studying history of KALR (Korean Agricultural Land Reform) is how we can define the characteristics and scope of the KALR. There were various perspectives to the KALR, and they had a common understanding about the fact that the newly generated selfmanaging farmers' economic performance were going to fall down and they were going to change their status as a tenant farmer again. It was because newly generated selfmanaging farmer by KALR had some economic weak point that was very marginal. There were two points of view about the common understanding. they were whether we needed to study that phenomena alter KALR in the process of KALR or to study that independent to the KALR.
The main purpose of this paper is to present some agenda to the studying history of KALR and to find historical meaning about KALR, through a case study. Through the case study of this paper, some facts has been shown clearly.
First, in the case of the Cha family as landlord, there were so many tenant land not being taken over and even after KALR, the landlord lent his land to tenant farmers in secret. And in the many not being taken over cases, it was realized in the process of the agreements between the Cha family and its tenant farmers. it showed that some limitations existed in the KALR. it was impossible to destruct the traditional Korean landlord management system on the base of landlord-tenant relationship completely, by government power and social restrictions.
However, even though there were some limitations in the KALR, it had some impacts on the Korean landowning structure. The enlarging of farming scale, especially of owner-tenant farmers, told us the impacts of KALR on the Korean landowning structure. We can understand that the KALR break down large landlord's landownership concentration, and it build the ownership base for the growing number of farmers. The transition of agricultural structure was happened by KALR in the Korean farm village and this paper shows the fact clearly.
