This research thesis measured potential housing development of 250 'subway station areas' around Seoul Metropolitain Region, with the use of added weighting and data of each indicator based on AHP. The analysis was conducted on the ranking of the development of 'subway station areas' on the basis of measurement results of potential housing development along with the analysis on characteristics of 'subway station areas' in daily life zone. Cluster analysis-oriented analytic measurement results suggested that 'subway station areas' in Seoul Metropolitain Region can be grouped into five clusters: Cluster 1 and Cluster 2 were populated with 'reservation areas' for outside and inside urban development, respectively scoring low all in housing development pressure and capacity. Cluster 3 was populated with 'development maintenance areas', scoring low in housing development pressure but high all in housing development capacity. Cluster 4 was populated with 'development facilitation areas', scored high all in housing development pressure and capacity. Cluster 5 was populated with 'development control areas' scoring high in housing development pressure but low in housing development capacity.
