Abstract

Republic of Korea is experiencing regional decline and population concentration due to migration to metropolitan areas, which  deepens  the  development  gap  between  cities  and  exacerbates  urban  ghosting  problems.  As  this  causes  significant long-term losses to the national economy, the government is focusing on balanced urban development. This study compares urban evaluation criteria used in Republic of Korea with those primarily employed overseas in the spatial field to address urban  balanced  development  and  urban  ghosting  issues,  and  proposes  improvement  measures  for  the  spatial  service framework  related  to  existing  Korean  urban  evaluation  criteria.  The  existing  three-factor  system  centered  on  building information,  traffic  information,  and  population  flow  information  was  expanded  to  integrate  18  new  indicators  across  six domains: urban redevelopment potential, social connectivity, economic activity distribution, technological innovation, climate adaptation,  and  environmental  conservation.  The  improved  framework  enables  comprehensive  urban  spatial  evaluation  by including climate change impact assessment, natural disaster risk analysis, and resource management indicators. This paper is  significant  in  that  it  provides  policy  makers  with  data-driven  decision-making  tools  for  preventing  urban  ghosting  and achieving  balanced  regional  development.
