Abstract

|
|
|
Currently, in Korea, all lengths are written in "meter" unit, and the non-statutory measuring units are banned for use. However, in some fields, traditional measuring units are widely used with necessary modifications, and people in such fields raise varying arguments on conversion to "meter" unit. This research examines traditional measuring units from historical and cultural viewpoints, and provides suggestions on how to improve consistency and standardization for more accurate and effective exchangeof scientific opinions.
