This study deals with the analysis of local cities using multiple decline index in Korea. The goals are to model the dispersion and crater phenomena using the various social, economic and cultural data, and to find the relation between the dispersion and crater models using the cross tabulation analysis, In pursuing the above, this study gives the particular attention to finding the decline patterns of local cities. The main results analyzed are the followings. First, by the dispersion indices of multiple deprivation, 49 cities were classified into 4 groups, which are the decreasing, decreasing after increasing, wholly decreasing and the other pattern over time. Second, by the crater indices of multiple deprivation, 4 groups which were cratered, being cratered, wholly cratered and the other pattern over time were analyzed. Third, the relation between two indices were evaluated to have linear pattern. It is expected that this results can be used as a basic index for developing the urban regeneration strategies of local cities.
