서울 대도시권 외국인 노동자 거주 분포 집중도와 분리도에 대한 공간통계 분석 - 국적별 집적 혹은 사회경제적 집적? - = Spatial Statistical Analysis on the Degrees of Concentration and Isolation in Residential Distribution of Foreign Workers in the Seoul Metropolitan Area: Agglomeration by Nationality or Socioeconomic Status?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the characteristics of the residential distribution of foreign workers in the Seoul metropolitan area by different groups. More specifically, this study attempts to investigate which of the two influences (agglomerations by nationality and socioeconomic status) is stronger in their spatial distribution patterns. For the analysis, 25 groups by nationality, and high-income professional and lowincome non-professional worker groups by visa status are classified, and the distribution characteristics of concentration and isolation are examined. Then, a comparison is made between nationality groups and socioeconomic status groups. The coefficient of variation and the index of dissimilarity are used for aspatial analysis on a micro spatial scale, and Moran’s I is used for spatial analysis on a macro spatial scale. The analysis is conducted on 66 cities and counties in Seoul metropolitan area. The result of the study shows that different nationality and socioeconomic status groups have various levels of concentration and isolation at different spatial scales. As a result of the comparison between the agglomeration patterns of the nationality and the socioeconomic status, it is confirmed that the two do not show significant difference in concentration level while the latter is stronger in isolation. Meanwhile, nationality type (developed and underdeveloped countries) and socioeconomic status (high-income professionals and low-income non-professionals) are closely associated with each other in the degrees of concentration and isolation. The results of this study can be used as basic data necessary for establishing future policies related to foreign residential areas.
