　 King Gojong appointed Kyu Won Rii as a Royal Prosecutor for U11eung
lsland in 1881. Mr.Rii leR for U11eung lsland on 1 0th of Apri1， 1882，
stayed in U11eung island to prosecute by land and sea routes for 10 days，
and retum to Seou1. While he was in U11eung lsland， he wrote the diary
including daily activities， topography and ecological in柘rmation on the
island，persons who were in the island at that time， Japanese cutting down
timber illegally， and other detailed in拓rmation as well as the nrst dran for
the omcial report to the King. Therefore，the diary of prosecution on
Ulleung 　 lsland 　 is 　 very 　 important 　 and 　 valuable 　 document 　 for 　 better
understanding U11eung lsland in 1882 and f1)r the relation between Korea
and Japan in the late 1 9th century･

for Possible residential areas. He suggested 14 possible ports along the sea
coast indlcating dimculties for the constmction of ports.
　 The reasons King KOJong sent the Royal Prosecutor to the UIleung lsland
are to nnd out whether there are places to make residential areas， and to
make clear the name of U11eung island and to have better knowledge of
usando. Sending the Royal Prosecutor was very meaningful and we11-timed，
because King KOJong had in his mind to protect the territory of Joseon and
it is needed to set up the relation to Japan.
　 U11eung lsland was protected as a part of Joseon Dynasty， because the
Royal Prosecutor was sent in the proper time period; Kyo Won Rii dealt
faithfully with his duty，and King Kojong had a strong mind to keep
UIleung lsland as a Part of our land. Therefore，the settlement in UIleung
lsland by law in 1883 was very important event in the history. Without this，
Dokdo cannot be a part of Korean land as weII.
　 Theび//四昭JθGどθ詞-c仙/j/-がis a very important document to ofTer
resources丘)r reconstmction of UIleung lsland 120 years ago and for better
understanding the relationship between Korea and Japan in the late 　 19th
