This study discusses that the US zoning system came from "progressive movement" in the early 20th century. The US progressive movement was closely related with the scientific management movement in terms of efficiency. In that context, the ontological significance of zoning is found in realizing public interests by blocking external effects based on the value-neutral expertise. Another aspect of the US zoning system is the political one. It is closely related to progressive movement in common with efficiency. The zoning system was introduced as a measure to prevent the racial and class mixture resulting from the influx of immigrants. Today, the racial aspect of zoning is succeeded to exclusionary zoning. This study examines the fact that exclusive interests of US mainstream society have served as more important background than the fundamental aspect preventing external effects in the introduction and evolution of the zoning system.

As GIS analysis method began to be introduced in late 1980's, studies of land development applying the GIS also started to be proceeded in various fields. Since 2003, Land Suitability Assesment has been adopted in order to prevent national land from development thoughtless for the environment and to plan appropriate national land management in terms of green development. Land Suitability Assessment System II based on diverse GIS analysis method such as Contour Analysis, Overlay Analysis, Network Analysis was particularly adopted to draft plans of specifying and altering of exclusionary zoning as well as installing and maintaining of urban planning facilities. But there has been a lot of problem, like an inaccurate basic data and assessment indicators, unmatched threshold, and contradicted evaluation result between each evaluating systems. Even though it is suited to an evaluation criteria, grade distribution is applied to start at 20, and development-centered evaluation result is offered. Now, we observed how suitability values and grading were changed, ordering to change grade distribution system from $20{\sim}100$ to $0{\sim}100$. In result, it showed changes of grades in some parcels. And in case of suitability values, 87% of parcels decreased to minimum 1 point, maximum 70 points. It means that changing grade distribution system of assessment system II doesn't have only influence on suitability values and grading but it is also an empirical analysis because of considering both development and maintenance.
