Gender differences in the seperation of emplo-yment from home and commuting patterns of the Seoul Area are examined in this paper. Throughout the analysis, it is found that there exist a substantial gender variation in comm-uting rates. Even though the regional variation of commuting rates of male workers is very small, the female workers' regional variation of commuting rates is substantial. Especially, the area around the traditional central place of Kangbuk, the area near the Youngdungpo and Kuro where manufacturing and retailing activities are concentrated, and the area where low-income families are concentrated show high rate of female commuting. In contrast, the traditional residential area, especially the high-income area of Kangnam, shows lower rate of female commuting. Generally, female workers tend to work closer to home than male workers. Accordingly, the job search range of female workers is smaller than that of mle workers. But the areal unit of job search range of female workers is wider at least than Dong. The fact that female workers' job search area is smaller than male workers' implies that the job opportunity around the home location could have more impacts on female workers' job search process than male workers' job search process. There is a substantial difference in commuting behavior between male and female workers. In general, male workers commute longer, use more expensive transportation mode, and pay higher transportation cost in comparision with female workers. These gender differences in commuting behavior could be resulted not only form the gender difference in the seperation of employment form work, but also form the gender difference in the social status in both work place and home.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the interface between "place of work" and "place of living" in the housing sphere has changed, and to understand its social background. During the korean modernization period, changes in economic structure toward industry has an influence on many aspects of modem life in addition to occupations. The traditional mixing of heterogeneous activities in the home-such as between reproduction and household affairs, first changed into a coexistence of two spaces with different functions within the boundaries of home, and finally into a spatial separation between functions in an urban dimension. As a result of this process, the primary role of the modem home is as a place for relaxation without work. One important kind of home, in which a retail shop is integrated with it, was researched as a transitional form. Its spatial layout showed a various combined usage of both spaces. In conclusion, changes in relevant macro-social aspects are very concretely reflected m the function and spatial organization of the home.

본 연구는 1963년 천연기념물로 지정된 성류굴 주변의 관광상업지역 특성을 조사하여 관광지의 조성이 관광상업지역의 발전에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는가를 살펴보는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구를 위한 설문조사는 1998년 8월 29일에 관광상업지역 내의 전 상점을 대상으로 하여 이루어졌으며, 그 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 관광상업지역에는 10년 이상 된 업체가 절반 이상(52.6%)의 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 상점의 경영 동기는 관광객을 대상으로 하기 때문에 수익성이 좋을 것 같아서 개업한 경우가 많았고(57.9%), 경영주의 전직은 상업(31.6%)과 농업(26.3%)이 많았으며, 상점의 규모는 10평 미만의 상점을 운영하는 상점들이 많았으며, 20평 이상의 상점을 경영하는 경우는 개업한 지 10년 이상 된 장기 경영자들이 주류를 이루었다. 둘째, 경영주의 학력을 조사한 결과 고졸 출신들이 가장 많았고(52.6%), 현재의 업종을 구분한 결과 기념품점과 식당이 주류를 이루고 있었다. 또한 업종 변경을 고려하고 있는 가라는 질문에는 절반 이상(52.6%)이 고려하지 않고 있으며, 변경을 고려하는 경우에도 식당을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 상점의 소유 형태를 살펴본 결과 임대하여 운영하는 경우(63.2%)가 더 많음을 알 수 있었고, 한편 개업연도와 소유 및 임대별 상황과 직주 분리 현황을 교차 비교한 결과 상점을 소유하고 있는 경영주보다 임대하고 있는 경영주가 직주분리를 더 선호하고 있다. 마지막으로 관광객들의 관광상품에 대한 불만 정도를 조사한 결과 대부분의 상점(78.9%)이 불만을 듣지 않고 있다. 이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 최근 들어 강원도의 신흥 동굴관광지 조성으로 인해 관광객들이 감소하고 있으며, 이것은 성류굴 주변의 관광상업지역에도 영향을 미쳐 관광상업지역의 발전에 저해요소가 되고 있음을 알 수 있다.

This paper is to consider the new urbanization process of Daegu in the 1990s, especially with its economy, politics, social culture, environment and space. In the economic aspect, the industrial structure of Daegu has shifted from the manufacturing- centered economy to the service economy. But it has not yet overcome the linear frame of industrial structure still relying on the textile industry, though the degree of industrial specialization has increased in the part of the fabricated metal products and the precision and optical instrument. In the political situation that the implementation of the local self-government has made the relation between localities more competitive, the local government of Daegu has led a boom for boosting the regional economic growth, organizing private-public-research relations to improve the weakening regional investment and production function. In the social and cultural aspect of the new urbanization, the investment into the soft-ware facilities has been increased, and the urban festivals have been changed so as to revitalize the regional economy. In the environmental aspect, as the self-government system has launched, conflicts around values and interests of local governments have revealed frequently due to locations of infra-structures and of abhorrence facilities. Finally, seen from the spatial dimension of the city, the extension of residential areas and unregulated use of urban space have a result of inefficience of land-use, and this kind of unplanned outer expansion of the city has brought about with further separation of house and working place, and increasing distance of movements and the an urban spatial structure which requires more energy consumption.
