[論文] Differentiating In and Outflows: A Multiple Discriminant Analysis -A Case in the Seoul Metropolitan Area

Central city and suburban contrasts are closely related to housing careers. Their choices of location and dwelling are affected by individual preferences, socio-economic characteristics and life cycle. In mega-metropolitan region, mobility shifts between the central city area and suburban areas have been regarded as trade-offs between local housing opportunity and job accessibility. However, individuals' preferences vary and they are socio-demographically diverse. Existing studies have rarely taken personal characteristics and aspirations into consideration in explaining suburbanisation phenomenon. Using a multiple discriminant analysis this paper attempts to socio-demographically distinguish between-groups moving for different reasons between suburban ring and central city. It found that both family life cycle and housing career stage dearly distinguish various mover groups. One must take these two factors into serious consideration when designing a socio-demographically well integrated new town in the future.
