본 연구의 목적은 급격한 인구증가를 보이는 서울대도시권에서 1995년~2005년 사이 기간을 중심으로 대도시권내 인구 및 고용분산 현상에 따라서 나타나는 통근권의 형성과 변화 특성을 밝히는 것이다. 이를 위하여 1995년, 2000년, 2005년 시군구간 통근도착지-출발지 행렬을 요인분석하여 지역간 통근연계구조를 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 1차통근 중심지 및 2차 통근 중심지 등의 분석을 통해 서울대도시권의 통근권을 구분하였다. 그 결과 1995년 1차 통근권으로 서울중구권, 서울영등포권, 이천권, 인천남구권, 수원권, 의정부권 등 6개 권역으로 구분되었으며, 2005년에는 서울중구권, 서울영등포권, 서울강남권, 인천남동권, 화성권, 의정부권, 안양권 등 7개의 지역이 1차 통근권으로 구분되었다. 1995년에서 2005년 사이의 통근권 변화 특징은 서울강남권이 나타나면서 기존의 이천권을 흡수하였고, 수원권이 화성권으로 중심지가 이동하였으며, 새롭게 안양권이 1차 통근권으로 출현한 현상이다.

This study analyzes the changes of commuting areas in Seoul metropolitan area where many new town developments have occurred since 1990s. From the fact that population and employment increase would cause the formation of living life region and commuting region, I tried to explain employment suburbanization in the fringe of Seoul metropolitan area through the change of commuting area. I found the change of commuting region in the fringe of the Seoul metropolitan area according to the growth of the Seoul’s neighboring cities. This study classifies the commuting region into the core-Seoul region and Seoulindependent region through factor analysis. From 1995 to 2005 there was no big change of commuting region. The Seoul-dependent region, however, has changed 3 sub-regions (Inchen, Eujeongbu, Suwon) in 1995 to 4 sub-regions (Inchen, Eujeongbu, Suwon, Anyang) in 2005. ons. In conclusion from the analysis of the change of the commuting region, the increase of the number of Seoul-independent region reflects the intensification of the central capacity in the fringe of the Seoul metropolitan area.
