1930년대 부산부회의 의원 선거와 지방 정치세력의 동태 = The election of Busan Pu-hoi[府會] members and their activities as local politicians

국문 초록 (Abstract)

자문기관에서 의결기관으로 바뀐 부산부회의 의원 정원은 처음 33명에서 39명까지 늘어났다. 그 중 조선인 의원도 9명에서 15명까지 확대되었다. 의원 구성은 여전히 상공업자들이 수적으로 우세하나, 1920년대에 비해서 직업상 다양한 사회계층이 부회에 진출하였다. 특히, 전직 관료, 의사, 약제사, 변호사 등 전문직의 진출이 많았고, 일부 지주층도 참여하였다. 일본인 의원들은 파벌적 이해관계에 따라 조선인 의원들과 협력하기도 하였으나, 민족적 성격의 사안에 대해서는 조선인측의 의견은 자주 무시되었다. 부회운영은 전반적으로 일본인 의원들이 주도했으나, 특히 부회 내 일본인 파벌간 권력투쟁은 심해져 1939년 5월에는 부의장 선출을 둘러싼 부정선거운동으로 의원 당선자 전원이 무효 처리되고, 동년 8월에 재선거가 실시되었다.

The Pu-hyopeuhoi(府協議會), which had been established as pseudo-council of the city in 1914, renamed into the Pu-hoi(府會) in 1931. The Pu-hoi as a legislative organ was different from the Puhyopeuhoi which had been just a advisory body, even though its chairman was still the mayor of Pu.
The number of Busan Pu-hoi members was increased from 33 persons in 1931 to 39 persons in 1936, while the number of Busan Pu-hyopeuhoi members had been 30 persons at most. The proportion of Koreans in Busan Pu-hoi increased in comparison with that of Koreans in Busan Pu-hyopeuhoi, even though the majority of the Busan Pu-hoi was still Japanese. The number of Korean members in Busan Pu-hoi was 9 at the lowest and 15 at the largest during the 1930s. Their term of membership increased from 3 years in the 1920s to 4 years since 1931.
The largest group of Busan Pu-hoi still was the group of commercial or industrial capitalists. But Busan Pu-hoi consisted of persons of more various classes, who were professional job owners such as ex-officials, doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, and landlords as the result of the local elections of Busan-pu which were exercised three times during the 1930s.
Sometimes, the Japanese members tried to keep the cooperative relationship whith the Korean members in Busan Pu-hoi for their own interests But the opinions of the Koean members were despised in many cases by the majority of Japanese members when the bills contained the socio-economical conflicts between the two nations in Busan as a colonial local society.
Of course, the conflicts between Japanese memebers, which was mostly originated from the factional rivalry, existed continuously during the period of Busan Pu-hoi. The vice-chairman election in 1939 was the most fraudulent election ever since the beginning of Busan Pu-hoi. As a result, all the elected in May 1939 was disqualified as invalid members of Pu-hoi, and the entire members of Busan Pu-hoi including all the Korean members were reelected in August 1939. That was the last destination of the factionalism between Japanese members in Buasan Pu-hoi under the colonial administration of Japanese imperialism.
