영문 초록

The purpose of this paper is to find out the functional characteristics of 175 small towns and cities in Chungnam province. The unit of analysis is the built-up area of the seat of local administrative office such as the 6 cities(urban Dong), 23 towns(Eup), and 147 townships(Myon). Univariate and multivariate analyses(that is, factor and cluster analysis) were conducted for the classification of urban functions. Significant differences exist among the seats of local administrative office of cities, Eups, and Myons in respective variables, but many extreme values are found among the seats of Myon office. The results of multivariate analysis show that the seats of local administrative offices can be classified into four categories: (1) Chunan city at the top which surpasses the others in terms of size, variety of urban function, and vitality: (2) the other cities and Eups which function as rural service centers. Eups that belong to this category can be divided into two sub-types according to the strength of functions: and (3) the seats of Myons which can be classified into 4 types depending on their dominant functions: that is, rural service center, newly industrializing area, basic administration center maintained by public facilities, and the others with insufficient urban functions. Based on these results of analyses, this paper suggests as follows: the promotion policies for small towns and cities should be applied selectively according to their significance in the regional urban system: the respective small towns and cities should be specialized functionally if possible: and cooperative networks should be established among these for getting economies of scale by network efficiency.
