ABSTRACT

Seoul Metropolitan Region (SMR) has a variety of urban social structures. The purpose of this research is to explore spatialties and their changes in SMR in terms of social diversity quantitatively. For social diversity of SMR, the four indices (education, age, household, and housing diversity) were measured using Simpson index and ND (Neighborhood Diversity) index. The resulting measures of the social diversity were also explored in terms of administration boundaries and urbanity, and were analyzed temporarily with the years of 2000, 2005 and 2010 for detecting the changes. Then, the regression analysis was implemented for exploring effects of factors of the economic, residential mobility and house age on social diversity. The significant results of the analyses told higher measures of education and housing diversity in the regions with strong urbanity, while lower measure of age diversity and household diversity in the regions with weaker urbanity.
