Postal system in Korea between 1884 and 1905
Kocinová, Kateřina ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Zemánek, Marek (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the topic of modernization of communication means in Korea during the late 19th century, namely with the intruduction, organizational structure and development process of the West-inspired postal system in 1884-1905. It further examines the extent of actual utility, accessibility and importance of postal services from the perspective of the then Korean society and government. This work is divided into two parts. The first one covers approximately the first half of 1880's, exploring the situation regarding the very brief existence of the first Korean post office, Ujŏngch'ongguk. This part also briefly deals with the alternative medium of modern communication, telegraph. It was, however, not until more than 10 years after the abolishment of the first post office that Korean postal services were resumed. In the second part of the thesis I inquire into the postal system's development throughout the period of so-called kabo reforms (1894-96) and the Korean Empire (1897-1905).

The history of communication means in Korea till the establishment of the first modern post office
Kocinová, Kateřina ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Maršálek, Jakub (referee)
This thesis intends to provide a general outline of the development of communication means in Korea throughout its history until the last decades of the 19th century, when new modern communication systems were introduced. In this thesis, the term historical communication includes the establishment of relay stations and postal roads which form the base of the communication network, mounted express messengers, dissemination of public and personal letters and also the intelligence gathering during the Imjin war period. This work is broadly divided into two parts. The first part is dedicated to individually describing communication systems before the establishment of I dynasty, the second part, which I put emphasis on, deals mainly with their form and organization during the Kingdom of Joseon (朝鮮, 1392-1897).
