AB - The following study utilized geographically weighted regression to look into the influence of urban environment to local residents' death by cancer. 25 boroughs of Seoul in terms of spatial extent and the year 2014 in terms of the time scope were selected for analysis. Regional deaths by cancer were selected as the dependent variable. The results of the study show that, extending the streets by 1% result in an increase of 0.218% in death by cancer, and increasing the urban area by 1% lead to an increase of 0.429% in death by cancer. Alternatively, an increase in 1% for local taxes lead to a decrease in 0.228% in death by cancer. However, an increase in 1% for the number of beneficiaries of national basic living standards lead to an increase of 0.396% in death by cancer. When comparing the OLS regression to the GWR regression, the F-value for both R2, and adjusted R2 for GWR regression was much superior to the OLS regression. The study verifies the relationship that an increase in urbanization increases deaths by cancer but an increase in the local economy decrease deaths by cancer. Consequently, there is a need for the local governments to reduce deaths by cancer and realize a healthy city by showing efforts. At the same time, there is a need for policy initiatives to invigorate the regional economy.
