This study examined the continuity and changes of the temple space by analyzing the location of the building attached to Sudeoksa Temple through topographic analysis and changes in the land landscape over the past 100 years. As a result of the study, the buildings of Sudeoksa Temple are predominantly located on natural elements such as views, sunshine, and solar radiation, as well as high elevation, low slope, south-facing aspect, artificial topography space, and mountain slope topography that require protection, symbolism and stability. Buildings with auxiliary roles such as access, support, and accommodation are concentrated and distributed on naturally formed flat surfaces, and religious core buildings are located in artificial flat surface to build a religious hierarchy in the layout of buildings. The ministry of Sudeoksa Temple and the landscape of the surrounding area were expanded and the buildings were differentiated by function, but the religious hierarchy and essential identity of the temple-centered space were maintained continuously. It can be seen that the mountain temples continue to maintain their spatial order and identity despite the constraints of the natural environment and changes in the times.
