On the basis of the variable which have strong urban nature in national cities, central function-index that had influenced the urban factors were focused on in this study. Through the analysis, the factors featuring the city were examined in order to know the pattern of spatial distribution.
The conclusions are the followings.
First, industrial function-index and population were concentrated chiefly in five big cities including Seoul.
Second, in the relation between industrial function-index and population, new and satellite cities around big cities have only the function of dwelling area, not self-sufficient function. However, traditional cities with its long history and tourist-attractions around it play important roles as a local center.
Third, in the city with the population of one million and the city with that of 300,000 to 100,000, there in a relation between population and function-index. This shows that industrial functions are distributed in proportion to population.
Fourth, in sampled cities, industrial functions are concentrated in C.B.D. However, in Kwang-ju in process of industrial areas, manufacture shows high function-index in industrial complex areas, and transportation in divided points of traffic, too.
Fifth, in Mok-po and Sun-cheon city, the relation between function-index, distance from downtown, and its population was very high.
Sixth, in factors featuring industrial activities of a city, Kwang-ju and Mok-po city have 4 factors each and Sun-cheon 3 ones.
Finally, in the spatial distribution of function-index of each factor, Daekum-dong Chungsu-dong and Daein-dong located in C. B. D of Kwang-ju have many industrial functions. This means how much C.8.D in the spatial structure is responsible for the concentration of functions. Manho-dong, Man-dong and Yiro-dong of Mok-po city have a high rate of function index Especially, Manho-dong located near the shore, shows the highest index of all. Changcheon-dong, Jungang-dong and Samsan-dong of Sun-cheon city comprise more than 70%. This means that urban functions are concentrated in some areas with C.B.D in a center.
