AB - The main purpose of this study is finding out the best way to delimitate the basic districts of Korea. The National Basic Districts should be used to supplement the location information in new address system, represent postal area, and support smallest area for various districts of the nation. To delimitate national basic districts, three possible methods; first, delimitating the basic districts by using the physical features of regions, second, delimitating the basic districts by considering administrative boundaries in addition to the physical features of regions, third, delimitating the basic districts by utilizing AZP (Automatic Zoning Procedure) have been suggested in this paper. Three methods have been applied to the three regions; Jongro-Gu as an urban area, Asan-Si as a combined area where urban and rural characteristics coexist, and Taean-gun as a rural coastal area, respectively. In conclusion, delimitating the area by using physical features of regions is the most suitable for delimitating the national Basic Districts in view of stability and applicability.
