ABSTRACT

The rapid increase of single households is closely related to the socio-economic change of regions and has become the research topic of many studies. However, relatively little attention has been paid to single households migration. The purpose of this study is to explore the spatio-temporal characteristics of single households migration in Seoul. The main findings of this study are following. First, Seoul continuously has a positive net-migration of single households since 2001 and this positive net-migration has been led by the twenties. The twenties are forming a large part of in and out flows. While their rate has gradually decreased, the rate of single households over 50 years old has progressively increased. Second, Gyeonggi-do has the greatest part of inflow and outflow of Seoul’s single households migration. In terms of net-migration tallied based on Seoul, single households from the provinces mainly head Seoul and single households from Seoul move to Gyeonggi-do. Third, the upsurge of single households in Seoul is significantly related to the inflow of them and destinations of single households are spatially clustered. While the relative concentration of single households migration is noticeable at the downtown area, the absolute concentration is dominant at the surrounding areas of universities and Gangnam. Fourth, while young households are relatively and absolutely preferred to the surrounding areas of universities and Gangnam as their destination, the elderly are relatively concentrated on the downtown area and absolutely concentrated at the outskirts of Seoul.
