This study aims to analyze the regional influences of the Seohaean highway construction which was completed in the end of 2001. In general, the expansion of social overhead capitals(SOC) such as road, railway, harbor often causes the regional effects indirectly on demographic configuration, industrial structure, land use and finance, etc. In this sense, this empirical analysis focuses on the regional effects of the Seohaean highway construction and employs the quasi-experimental control group methodology to find the statistical differences between the experimental group(13 cities or counties which the Seohaean highway is penetrated) and the control group by t-test. The findings of this study indicate that the construction of the Seohaean highway has brought differential influences over regions and sectors.
