ABSTRACT

Gentrification has been actively studied since the term was first used. In this process, the concepts and approaches of the phenomenon have changed, and recently, it has become social and academic popular issues in Korea. However, the gentrification phenomenon varies according to time and place. The overseas existing studies have been targeted at the deteriorated inner-city regeneration of the developed countries, so called Global North. In other words, it is difficult to unilaterally adopt the results of overseas gentrification research to Korea. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to identify the occurrence characteristics and explanatory factors by analyzing the gentrification index in Seoul through quantitative analyses. For this, first, the process of concept change in gentrification and the existing studies were examined. Second, the occurrence characteristics of gentrification in Seoul were investigated in the terms of spatial distribution. Third, the gentrification index was manipulated and the independent variables were selected for multiple regression. This study identified that the current status of the gentrification in Seoul was regarded as commercial gentrification.
