영문 초록

The population growth and economic development has contributed to a significant increase in energy consumptions in Korea. It is therefore urgent for local governments to develop effective policies and measures to reduce their energy consumptions. However, there has been a lack of empirical research in analyzing different energy consumption patterns at the local government level . Against this backdrop, the study aims to assess the energy consumption structures of 230 local governments in Korea by classifying them into groups based on their energy consumption patterns in four sectors, namely industry, transportation, household·commercial, and public sector, using a cluster analysis. The cluster analysis classified the local governments into three groups: one with high energy consumption in the household and commercial sector, the second one with high energy consumption in the industrial sector, and the last one with relatively equal proportion of energy consumption in each sector. The results from the statistical analysis indicated that the effects of socio-economic characteristics of cities on energy consumption are heterogeneous across the groups, implying the need to take different policy approaches for each group in order to manage the energy issue in an effective way.
