Regional distribution difference was one of main distinctive features of Koryo postal station network. There was meaningful difference of postal station distribution between higher local administrative units such as five provinces or two border regions in the Koryo era, and moreover regional difference of postal station density was found in proportion to importance of each local administrative unit even in a same province. Regional distribution difference of postal stations was mostly based on difference of regional importance among various areas since the foundation of Koryo dynasty. Especially, postal station distribution density of some regions, such as west coastal area of Yanggwang, Sohae and Cholla province and Hapchu county of Kyongsang province and its sok-hyuns, was remarkably sparse compared with neighboring areas. It tells us that these areas’ regional importance and the level of development were not so high compared with other regions. But regional distribution of postal stations was significantly improved during the late Koryo and early Choson era. Eventually it became the late 15th century, and remarkable decrease of a postal station number happened in two border regions, while new establishment of postal station continued in west coastal region where regional distribution density of postal stations was sparse in the Koryo era. Therefore, formation of postal station network system in the early Choson era was reorganized in the direction of attaining improvement of regional distribution difference of Koryo postal station network system.

Ethno-Cartography is the study and practice of making representations on a map to show the differences that geographical boundaries make in the cultural phenomena of regions. Thus the basic purpose of making an ethno-cartography is to grasp the regional differences of culture. So far, the objects which a cartography represents on the map have been tangible cultural materials. To take a step forward, this study is a methodological plan and an operational assumption to make a cartography of pottery-making techniques in the Gyeongbuk area based on the premise that a cartography of technology may be possible. The ultimate goal of making an ethno-cartography is to understand the diversity of cultures. If so, an ethno-cartography has to show the regional and periodical differences of cultures, and also reasonable clues for such differences. Making pottery is done according to the proper procedures. Therefore, a two-step working process is needed for making a cartography of pottery-making techniques. First, the pottery-making techniques should be subdivided and classified according to the manufacturing process. Regional differences in the techniques should be researched and represented on the map. Next, in order to see whether changes in pottery making techniques are regionally different, detailed techniques of making pottery according to manufacturing process should regionally and periodically be investigated, and the results should be represented on the map. By following the above mentioned, it can be found out what are the regionally and periodically common and different features in pottery-making techniques in the Gyeongbuk area. Some clues can be prepared to explain why and how such differences came about. Thus, an ethno-cartography of pottery-making techniques is not the end but the means to understanding them.

일본여성의 지역적 차이에 의한 초경지연의 발육학적 검증

藤井勝紀(Katsunori FUJII),노호성(Noh Ho-sung) 한국체육과학회 2009 한국체육과학회지 Vol.18 No.2

To elucidate delayed menarche in female athletes, Fujii established a system to evaluate delayed menarche by deriving the delay in menarche from the interval between age at MPV of height and age at menarche, while at the same time establishing judgments from regression evaluations of age at menarche against age at MPV of height. In this study, the system Fujii developed to evaluate delays in menarche was applied to the age at menarche of girls in the Tokai and Hokuriki regions of Japan, and we then investigated regional differences in delays in menarche between these two regions. The girls were 209 girls from the Tokai region and 96 girls from the Hokuriku region who underwent almost no sports training around the time of menarche. Longitudinal growth data on the girls’ height were obtained from health records from the first year of elementary school until the final (third) year of high school. The age at menarche was obtained from a questionnaire survey of the 209 girls in the Tokai region and 96 girls in the Hokuriku region. The delayed menarche evaluation system was applied to the age at menarche of girls from the Tokai and Hokuriku regions, and the average delay in menarche in the Hokuriku region was estimated from the interval between age at MPV of height and age at menarche. Regression evaluation of age at menarche against age at MPV of height was used to clarify the delay in menarche for individual girls in the Hokuriku region. It was shown that the proportion of girls with delayed menarche was significantly higher in the Hokuriku region than in the Tokai region. This was inferred to be from the effect of stress from living conditions that results from the characteristic climate of the Hokuriku region.

학업성취 관련변인의 지역격차 실태와 대책

Regional difference in academic achievement among second year junior high school students are examined, using Korea Youth Panel Survey. Based on the model of socio-ecnomic factors on academic achievement, this study examined regional differenc in academic achievement. Region affects academic achievement after controlling the effects of father's education, father's occupation, mother's work status, and private education expenditure. Regional difference was confirmed by the pattern change in the effects of socio-economic variables and analysis of variance of those variables by region. Rural area most suffers from regional difference, and small and large cities, except Seoul, also suffer from the difference. In terms of income group, lower groups are disadvantaged by low income and small private education expenditure. The lowest group is the most disadvantaged. Suggested policies include improvement of public education, development of education welfare, school social work and youth welfare services, supplementary education services by welfare agencies such as after-school services, and affirmative action for the disadvantaged in school admission and employment.. 본 연구는 한국청소년패널 1차 자료를 이용하여 중학생들의 학업성취에 관한 지역격차의 실태를 파악하고 대책을 모색하고자 하였다. 먼저 학업성취도에 영향을 미치는 부모의 사회경제적 지위 관련 변인과 사교육비의 영향을 파악하고 지역격차의 영향을 분석하였다. 학업성취에 영향을 미치는 부의 교육수준, 부의 직업지위, 모의 취업여부, 사교육비를 통제하여도 지역규모는 학업성취에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 지역격차는 부의 직업지위, 모의 취업여부, 부모의 교육수준, 가구소득 등 사회경제적 지위를 나타내는 변인들에서 나타나는 격차와 학업성취에 영향을 미치는 변인들의 유형변화를 통해서도 확인되었다. 교육격차를 통해 불이익을 당하고 있는 지역은 일차적으로 군 지역인 농촌이며 중소도시와 광역시도 서울에 비해 상대적인 차이가 나타나고 있다. 소득집단별로는 소득수준이 낮은 집단일수록 소득과 사교육비의 영향이 뚜렷이 나타나고 있어 하위계층이 교육격차로 인한 불이익을 크게 경험하고 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 공교육 내실화, 교육복지 투자우선지역 지원사업 등 공동체적 교육지원사업의 확대, 청소년복지, 학교사회사업, 방과 후 교육프로그램 실시, 대입전형과 취업시 교육격차를 보완하는 제도의 필요성을 제기하였다

일제강점기 조선인 식생활의 지역성과 식민지성

이송순(Lee, Song-Soon) 고려사학회 2019 한국사학보 Vol.- No.75

본 논문은 일제강점기 한반도 식생활의 지역성과 일본으로 이주한 재일조선인의 식생활 양상을 통해 식민지적 특성을 살펴보았다. 먼저 조선총독부 농업관료였던 히사마겐이치(久間健一)의 연구를 통해 일제강점기 한반도 식생활의 지역성을 살펴보았다. 주식은 전체적으로 쌀만을 섭취하는 경우는 13%에 불과하고 나머지는 보리 및 다양한 잡곡을 혼용하였다. 이를 지역적으로 나눠보면 쌀·보리(米麥)를 중심으로 하는 남선 7도와 잡곡을 중심으로 하는 서북선의 6도로 크게 구분할 수 있다. 주식은 자연적 조건에 따른 농업생산과 밀접한 연관을 보이고 있다. 일제시기 조선의 쌀 생산량은 증가하였지만 1인당 소비량은 감소했다. 결코 쌀이 주식이 될 수 없었던 식민지배하의 한반도의 상황과 대면하게 된다. 부식은 뚜렷한 자연적 지역성은 보이지 않는다. 그러나 ‘동물성 단백질을 전혀 섭취하지 않는’ 식생활이 무려 30%에 달한다는 점이다. 이를 지역적으로 살펴보면 자연적 조건이 나쁜 평안남도 및 함경남북도가 남부지역에 비해 오히려 부식물의 소비 패턴에서는 더 ‘고급스러운’ 면을 보인 것은 사회경제적 요인과 관련이 있다고 할 수 있다. 식민지지주제에 의한 수탈이 가중된 남부지역에 비해 척박한 자연환경으로 인해 미곡 상품화가 적게 진행된 서북선 지역에서 오히려 개별 농가 경제는 숨을 쉴 수 있었다. 다음으로 재일조선인의 식생활 양태를 살펴보았다. 일제 식민지기 조선인 일본 도항의 가장 큰 이유는 농업부진과 생활난이었고, 일본으로 이주한 조선인은 일본의 도시지역에서 노동자나 날품팔이의 하층 계급으로서 살아가게 되었다. 그런데 재일조선인의 식생활은 한반도 거주 조선인에 비해 더 열악한 상황은 아니었다. 특히 재일조선인은 주식으로 ‘백미’를 섭취하고 있었다. 1920년대 이후 일본의 ‘백미Boom" 시대는 식민지 수탈을 통해 가능했다. 조선총독부는 쌀증산을 외쳤지만, 조선인의 밥상에는 쌀을 찾아보기 어려웠다. 일본의 가난한 노동자도 먹을 수 있는 쌀밥을 한반도 거주 대부분의 조선인은 먹을 수 없었다는 것은 일본제국주의의 조선 식민지배의 실상을 적나라하게 보여주는 것이라 할 수 있다. This article explores regional differences of dietary habit in the Korean peninsula under the Imperial Japan and the dietary habit of Korean in Japan of that period. In the Korean peninsula during that time, only 13 percent of the population consumed rice as staple, and the restconsumed the combination of various types of grains including barley. Those living in the 7 Dos in the southern part of the peninsula primarily had rice and barley, while those in the 6 Dos in the north western region had the combination of various types of grains. Staple food has a strong association with the agricultural production affected by the natural circumstances. Under the Imperial Japanese rule, the gross production of rice in Joseon increased but individual consumption of rice decreased. There is no significant regional differences in side dishes. However, 30 percent of the population consumed no animal protein whatsoever. Pyungannam-do and Hamkyungnam/Hamkyungbuk-do, the two regions with relatively less favorable natural conditions, in fact showed a more “sophisticated” dietary pattern when it came to the consumption of side dishes than their counterparts in the south. And such pattern is related to socioeconomic circumstances of each region. The southern regions were subjected to exploitation by the colonial landlord system whereas the north was able to develop with the industrialization effort. The dietary habit and pattern of the Koreans in Japan were analyzed. The biggest reason that the Joseon people migrated to Japan during that time was due to famine and financial struggles, and the Joseon people who relocated to Japan lived in the urban areas as the lowest class. However, the dietary pattern of the Koreans in Japan were not as bad as those remained in the peninsular despite being in the lowest class. Most of the Koreans in Japan ate rice as their staple. The fact that the poor laborers in Japan could still consume rice while most people in Joseon could not portrays the stark reality of Joseon under the control of the Imperial Japan. 본 논문은 일제강점기 한반도 식생활의 지역성과 일본으로 이주한 재일조선인의 식생활 양상을 통해 식민지적 특성을 살펴보았다. 먼저 조선총독부 농업관료였던 히사마겐이치(久間健一)의 연구를 통해 일제강점기 한반도 식생활의 지역성을 살펴보았다. 주식은 전체적으로 쌀만을 섭취하는 경우는 13%에 불과하고 나머지는 보리 및 다양한 잡곡을 혼용하였다. 이를 지역적으로 나눠보면 쌀·보리(米麥)를 중심으로 하는 남선 7도와 잡곡을 중심으로 하는 서북선의 6도로 크게 구분할 수 있다. 주식은 자연적 조건에 따른 농업생산과 밀접한 연관을 보이고 있다. 일제시기 조선의 쌀 생산량은 증가하였지만 1인당 소비량은 감소했다. 결코 쌀이 주식이 될 수 없었던 식민지배하의 한반도의 상황과 대면하게 된다. 부식은 뚜렷한 자연적 지역성은 보이지 않는다. 그러나 ‘동물성 단백질을 전혀 섭취하지 않는’ 식생활이 무려 30%에 달한다는 점이다. 이를 지역적으로 살펴보면 자연적 조건이 나쁜 평안남도 및 함경남북도가 남부지역에 비해 오히려 부식물의 소비 패턴에서는 더 ‘고급스러운’ 면을 보인 것은 사회경제적 요인과 관련이 있다고 할 수 있다. 식민지지주제에 의한 수탈이 가중된 남부지역에 비해 척박한 자연환경으로 인해 미곡 상품화가 적게 진행된 서북선 지역에서 오히려 개별 농가 경제는 숨을 쉴 수 있었다. 다음으로 재일조선인의 식생활 양태를 살펴보았다. 일제 식민지기 조선인 일본 도항의 가장 큰 이유는 농업부진과 생활난이었고, 일본으로 이주한 조선인은 일본의 도시지역에서 노동자나 날품팔이의 하층 계급으로서 살아가게 되었다. 그런데 재일조선인의 식생활은 한반도 거주 조선인에 비해 더 열악한 상황은 아니었다. 특히 재일조선인은 주식으로 ‘백미’를 섭취하고 있었다. 1920년대 이후 일본의 ‘백미Boom" 시대는 식민지 수탈을 통해 가능했다. 조선총독부는 쌀증산을 외쳤지만, 조선인의 밥상에는 쌀을 찾아보기 어려웠다. 일본의 가난한 노동자도 먹을 수 있는 쌀밥을 한반도 거주 대부분의 조선인은 먹을 수 없었다는 것은 일본제국주의의 조선 식민지배의 실상을 적나라하게 보여주는 것이라 할 수 있다.

When it comes to start-ups-related researches in the past, it seems rare to find ones analyzing characteristics of manufacturing start-ups with the focus on a certain specific region. Then, the purpose of this study is to precisely investigate characteristics and current situation of manufacturing start-ups in Daegu-Gyeongbuk region, using regional level data. To do so, descriptive statistical analysis was conducted first by using micro firm-level data provided by Statistics Korea. And using DID model, the study analyzed job creation effects of manufacturing start-ups of time lag in the region. Then, long-term job creation effects were found in both region and its effects of Daegu region were more distinctive. As a result, implications for policies promoting the growth of manufacturing start-ups in the region are as follows. First, considering long-term job creation effects of manufacturing start-ups, policies should be focused on increasing survival rate of competitive start-ups at early stage other than fostering them in quantity. Second, joint governance of Daegu-Gyeongbuk region showing geographical proximity and similar characteristics of industrial structure is required to handle issues related to promotion of manufacturing start-ups. Third, types of new industry that Daegu-Gyeongbuk region wants to strategically foster are quite different from the fields where regional start-ups are most actively formed. Therefore, industrial base for creation of new industry needs be intensified by promoting manufacturing start-ups in the region. Lastly, regional competence as post BI(business incubator) should be strengthened, fully utilizing industrial agglomeration such as industrial complex within the region. 국내외에서 수행된 다양한 창업관련 연구들에 비춰볼 때 특정 지역을 대상으로 제조창업 활동 및 공간분포 특성을 면밀히 고찰하고 고용효과를 분석한 연구는 드물다. 따라서 본 연구의 주된 목적은 지역 데이터를 활용하여 대경권 제조창업의 현황과 특성을 면밀히 분석하는 데 있다. 우선 통계청의 전국사업체조사 마이크로데이터(인가용 서비스)를 활용한 기술통계분석을 통해 대경권 제조창업의 특성을 탐색적으로 살펴보았다. 더 나아가 DID모형을 통해 대구, 경북 각 지역의 제조창업에서 비롯되는 고용효과 변화 추이를 시계열로 추정하였다. 분석결과 대경권 제조창업의 고용증가 효과는 장기적으로 확대되는 경향이 확인되었고, 특히 대구의 경우 그 효과가 더욱 두드러졌다. 분석 결과를 통한 정책적 함의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대경권 제조창업의 장기적 고용확대 효과를 고려할 때 제조창업의 양적 증가가 아닌 창업초기 기업의 생존 가능성을 제고하는 데 정책의 무게 중심을 둘 필요가 있다. 둘째, 대구, 경북의 지리적 근접성과 산업구조 및 창업활동의 유사성을 고려할 때 제조창업 활성화를 위한 공동 대응 거버넌스 구축이 요구된다. 셋째, 대경권에서 제조창업이 활발한 업종들이 지역특화산업 분야와 동떨어진다는 점은 신산업 육성기반이 미흡함을 의미한다. 향후 관련분야 제조창업 활성화를 통해 그 기반을 확충해 나가야 할 것이다. 끝으로 역내 제조창업 활성화를 위한 포스트 BI 기능 제고가 필요하며, 이때 제조업 집적지인 산업단지를 적극 활용할 필요가 있을 것이다.

지역균형발전의 접근논리 탐색 : 지역격차 인식을 중심으로

소진광 ( So Jin Kwang ) 한국지방행정연구원 2020 地方行政硏究 Vol.34 No.1

지역균형발전정책 접근논리는 지역격차 인식과 연동되어 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 이 논문은 지역격차 인식에 근거하여 지역균형발전 접근논리를 탐색하기 위한 것이다. 이 논문에서 지역격차는 지역의 고유한 공간유전자에 의해 자연스럽게 표출되는 지역차이와 구분하여 공공부문의 제도나 개발정책으로 인해 나타나는 공간불평등 현상으로 정의된다. 이러한 맥락에서 이 논문은 지역격차 발생원인을 첫째, 개별 경제주체의 행동양식과 관련한 관점과 둘째, 지역 및 국가 공동체의 정체성 혹은 결속력 유지와 관련한 관점으로 나누어 검토한다. 이러한 지역격차 인식에 근거하여 이 논문은 지역균형발전 접근논리를 국가 전체로서의 ‘보편성’과 개별 지역의 ‘특수성’을 조합하여 탐색한다. 따라서 이 논문은 지역균형발전의 접근논리를 첫째, 개별 지역의 ‘특수성’에 무게중심을 둔 관점과 둘째, 국가 전체의 ‘보편성’에 무게중심을 둔 관점으로 구분하여 접근한다. 이러한 검토와 탐색에 근거하여 이 논문은 다음과 같은 정책함의를 도출하였다. 첫째, 지역균형발전 관련 패러다임은 지역의 특수성에 근거한 ‘차별화의 이점’과 국가의 보편성에 근거한 ‘규모의 경제’를 동시에 충족시키는 방향으로 재정립되어야 한다. 이러한 패러다임은 인간의 생애주기에 따라 공간선호도를 달리할 수 있는 ‘연계-협력형 공간순환체계’로 구체화될 수 있을 것이다. 둘째, 지역균형발전 관련 패러다임 운용을 위하여 중앙정부와 지방정부 간 새로운 역할분담체계가 정립되어야 한다. 이에 따라 국가와 지방, 지방과 지방, 그리고 공공부문과 민간부문의 새로운 거버넌스가 구축되어야 하고 중앙정부와 지방정부 간 역할분담체계에 따라 비용분담 원칙도 달라져야 한다. The approach of balanced regional development policies is geared with the recognition of regional disparities. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to explore the logic of the approach for balanced regional development based on identifying regional disparities. For this study, this paper introduces and defines the concept of spatial genes affecting regional development and presents contexts, components and elements that can identify and measure them. In this paper, the regional disparity is defined as the spatial inequality among regions, which has been brought about by the discrepancy between ‘benefit’ and ‘cost' related with the system or development policy of the public sector. Therefore, regional disparity is fundamentally different from regional differences naturally expressed by the spatial genes unique to the region. This paper examines the causes of regional disparity from the following two points of view; the first, from the behavioral pattern of each economic actor and the second, from the point of view related with the national or regional solidarities or identities. Based on this recognition of regional disparity, this paper explores the logic of balanced regional development by combining ‘universality’ as a whole country and ‘specificity’ of individual regions. Regional balance can be approached variously depending on the way to define the ‘universality’ of the country as a whole and the ‘specificity’ of individual regions. In this context, this paper explores the approach of balanced regional development from two perspectives; the first, by weighing the ‘specificity’ of individual regions, the second, by emphasizing the 'universality' of a whole country. Finally this paper draws policy implications and explores the possible transition of the paradigm in the field of balanced regional development as followings. This study leads to suggesting new governance system between the central government and local governments, among local governments, and between the public sector and the private sector. The new paradigm for balanced regional development should be focused on harmonizing ‘economies of differentiation’ among regions and ‘scale economies’ at national level. This harmony can be practiced by building ‘Link-Cooperative Spatial Circulation System’, where people can move around in search of their favorite space conditions according to their life cycle. The governance for this new paradigm is geared to cost-sharing method for balanced regional development.

Objectives: This study aims to examine the regional differences for unmet dental need, while comparing 16 metropolitan cities in South Korea. Further, this study aims to examine the impacts of social determinants, which relates to the regional difference. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that analyzes the data, of the 4th round Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), in depth, as well as an ecologic analysis investigating each area as an aggregate unit. The data obtained from 24,871 subjects was stratified of 16 cities. The dependent variables were the unmet dental needs. There were 12 variables in social determinant, which have been approached by the social status, the social position, the economic status, the urbanization and access to resources. The sex-age adjusted standardization ratio was calculated and a descriptive statistical analysis was performed to compare the cities. The coefficient of variations was calculated. Social determinants affecting regional differences were analyzed through a multiple regression model. PASW statistics 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used. Results: The unmet dental need between the 16 cities showed a 1.7 times the regional difference. On the other hand the unmet dental need, due to financial reason, showed a 3.3 times the regional difference. The correlation analysis showed that the unmet dental need was higher in single-person households, in welfarites and in severely deprived areas. The final regression analysis showed that the local deprivation index (β=-17.19), the ratio of single-person household (β=3.91), and the number of dentists per 10,000 population (β=-2.30), were found to be statistically significant affecting the regional differences of unmet dental need (P<0.1). Conclusions: The unmet dental need in South Korea showed the regional difference, which was affected by the urbanization, the social position and resources of the areas among social determinants.

An Empirical Analysis of FDI, Human Capital and China’s Regional Economic Growth

려아평,송재훈 아시아.유럽미래학회 2018 유라시아연구 Vol.15 No.4

Since the reform and development, China’s economy has grown rapidly and the national income level has been continuously improved. This is closely related to China’s policy of reform and opening up, especially with the large-scale inflow of foreign direct investment under the reform and opening up policy. However, at the same time of rapid growth, China’s regional economic imbalance has become increasingly serious. Due to factors such as policy, market, location, labor force and clustering effects, the scale of FDI use in eastern, central and western China is also significantly different.Since China’s reform and opening up, FDI has flowed into coastal areas in large quantities, which has promoted the rapid development of the economy in the eastern region. However, it is also an indisputable fact that the regional economic development gap has been widened. Coupled with the sloping FDI regional preferential policy arrangement, it has led to the growing economic growth gap between the east and the west and the increasingly uneven regional economic development. These problems will inevitably affect the long-term development and virtuous circle of the Chinese economy. Therefore, under the strategy of “Western Development” and “Rise of Central China”, rational and effective use of foreign direct investment can promote the growth of the central and western economy and narrow the regional economic development gap. Studying the differences and contributions of foreign direct investment to China’s regional economy has certain theoretical and practical significance. First of all, FDI and economic growth have always been hot issues for scholars in macroeconomic research. However, FDI research started in developed countries. Most of the theories about FDI are analyzed from the perspective of the investment home country. The research on the relationship between FDI and economic growth in developing countries is relatively rare. And the research angles are qualitatively researching the status quo of FDI regional differences, the causes of formation, the mechanism of impact on economic growth, and solutions. Moreover, the role of foreign direct investment in economic growth in different regions has also changed due to differences in macro environment and policies. Therefore, studying FDI has far-reaching theoretical significance for China’s economic growth.China’s research on FDI originated in the 1990s, most of them study the relationship between FDI and economic growth through two perspectives. First, under the framework of the neoclassical economic growth theory, the role of FDI as a form of capital in China’s economy is studied. Second, the role of FDI in economic growth through technological spillovers is studied under the framework of the new growth economic theory. Based on the new growth theory, this paper sorts out nearly 10,000 data from 1998 to 2016. Through data analysis and empirical analysis, it provides case experience for FDI and economic growth theory in developing countries, which is beneficial to further research on FDI and economy. Secondly, this paper studies the relationship between FDI, human capital and China’s regional economic growth. It is not only a summary of the use of foreign direct investment in the past 30 years, but also an exploration of the rational use of foreign direct investment in the future. Rational use of foreign investment, with the goal of narrowing regional disparities and promoting balanced development of the regional economy, strive to maximize the role of foreign direct investment in promoting the economy. Based on these research implications, we use the cobb-dauglas production function as a theoretical model to study the relationship between foreign direct investment, domestic investment, human capital and China’s economic growth using panel data from 30 provinces and cities in China from 1998 to 2016. Through the quantitative analysis of panel data, the impa...

An Empirical Study on Interregional Perceptions of Regional Infrastructure in Life Satisfaction

이동기 한국비교정부학회 2022 한국비교정부학보 Vol.26 No.4

(Purpose) Local governments are setting policy goals and making various efforts to satisfy the lives of local residents. Existing prior studies say that a multidimensional approach to life satisfaction is required, but interest in regional infrastructure factors was insufficient. There are differences between regions in terms of regional infrastructure in terms of the components of life satisfaction. This is because local governments may have differences in life satisfaction between regions due to financial conditions and socioeconomic environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze regional differences in regional infrastructure in terms of life satisfaction. (Design/methodology/approach) For the empirical analysis of this research purpose, a binomial logit model was established and empirically analyzed using the 2017 and 2019 data of the Jeollabuk-do Social Survey. (Findings) As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that there was a difference between regions in the case of regional infrastructure factors in life satisfaction. There were regional differences in medical service, leisure life, access to convenience facilities, public transportation, and green environment. As a result of analysis based on 2019, the satisfaction of medical service was high in Jinan, Muju, and Jeongeup, and the satisfaction of leisure life was high in Jinan, Gochang, and Muju. In addition, satisfaction with housing was high in Jinan, Muju, and Iksan, and satisfaction with public transportation was relatively high in Jinan, Muju, and Iksan. (Research implications or Originality) The policy implications of the research results are that local governments should at least promote infrastructure construction to increase the life satisfaction of local residents, and continuous policy investment is required to prevent disparities in satisfaction between regions. Therefore, local governments should make policy efforts to build basic infrastructure to increase life satisfaction and improve the quality of life of local residents.
