This paper aims to clarify the process of land ownership in the urban historical of Samrangjin village (Korea) in the period of Japanese occupancy (1910-1945) based on the analysis of land register records. Samrangjin village was not designated for the cities controlled by urban planning law, which was set up in 1912 and 1934. The major purpose of this paper is to clarify the urbanization process of a Korean railway station town where the formal urban planning projects were not carried out. The focus of the study is the increase of the state-owned lands, Japanese landowners and Japanization of the landscape in the town by railway station. In the very beginning of occupation, Japanese already owned about 64.4%, and state-owned lands owned about 4.5% of the Samrangjin Songjinri's total land. The state-owned was land required for railway and dikes. Japanese-owned lands were orchard for the farming by Japanese of the emigrated from the Hukue city in Japan. The ratio of the land owned by Japanese and nation's went up to more or less 36.5% and 32.9% at the end of World war II. The process which the urban core had been replaced for the Japanese is very clearly traced from the analysis of a register records.
