The residential area of a clan village is located at the boundary between rice paddies and fields, that is, at the foot of the mountain where the flat land ends and the slope begins, and on a southern slope for sunlight. In a clan village, due to the influence of Feng Shui geography and Neo-Confucianism, the head house and shrine were placed in the highest position at the back of the village where the energy of the mountain descended, and the village was formed around it. In order to prevent the village from being immediately visible from the outside, artificial forests were created or the natural terrain was used to create entrances that were not direct. The alleys in a clan village freely connect to each house with a main road that goes from the entrance to the head house. Therefore, these alleyways have an organic shape and are divided by the walls of each building, so they are very cozy, and are considered one of the representative elements that show the beauty of the Hanok Village. Examples of clan villages include Oeam Village in Asan, Wanggok Village in Goseong, and Hahoe Village in Andong. Aside from clan villages, Eupseong villages consists of guesthouses that form the center of the county and prefecture, the Magistrate's Office and castle wall, ritual facilities and surrounding rural villages. However, in the Japanese colonial period, most were lost along with urbanization. Examples of Eupseong villages include Suwon Hwaseong, Gyeongju Eupseong, and Haemi Eupseong.
