This article considers the problem of malaria in the Korean peninsula from 1876 to 1945, focusing particularly on the impact of Japanese colonial rule. One aspect which receives special attention is malaria in urban contexts. The relationship between malaria and urbanisation is shown to be extremely complex, fluctuating regardless of specific interventions against the disease. In rural and urban areas, Japanese antimalarial measures concentrated on military garrisons, at the expense of both civilian settlers and Koreans. However, it was Koreans who bore the brunt of the malaria problem, which was exacerbated in many areas by agricultural and industrial development and, ultimately, by the war regime introduced from 1938. The worsening of the malaria burden in the final years of Japanese rule left a legacy which lasted long after independence.
本文探讨了1876年至1945年朝鲜半岛的疟疾问题，特别关注日本殖民统治的影响。其中一个受到特别关注的方面是城市环境中的疟疾。疟疾与城市化之间的关系极其复杂，无论针对该疾病的具体干预措施如何，情况都在波动。在农村和城市地区，日本的抗疟措施集中在军事驻地，而以平民定居者和朝鲜人为代价。然而，首当其冲遭受疟疾问题困扰的却是朝鲜人，在许多地区，农业和工业发展，以及最终从1938年开始实行的战争体制，使这一问题更加恶化。日本统治最后几年疟疾负担的加重留下了一份遗产，在独立后很长时间内都持续存在。
