Abstract
This study classified cities across South Korea according to their urban characteristics, selecting representative cities for respective types, and drawing a relationship among urban characteristic elements, carbon emissions, and the energy consumption of cities. For the classification of cities, the elements of the urban characteristics were examined through a review of the related literature. Factor analysis was then carried out to select the variables from among these elements. The absolute coefficient value found in the analysis was set as a standard. A classification of cities across the country was performed using these variables, and representative cities were chosen for a comparison of the characteristics of each type. For an analysis of the relationships among the urban characteristics according to the type of city, the greenhouse gases, and the energy consumption of cities, emissions of greenhouse gases, electricity consumption, and oil consumption of the representative cities were compared and analyzed by correlation analysis. The analysis results indicated that the cause of greenhouse gas emissions and electricity consumption varies according to the elements of the characteristics of the representative cities, even when they show similar emissions and consumption.
