The aim of this study is to inquire into the characteristic factor in the regions where the inflow or outflow of the population arise, and the regional characteristic factors having an influence on the inflow of the population by dividing the regions into metropolitan, city, and non-urban area. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a difference in the factors related to the population inflow or outflow of a metropolitan area, small and medium city, and non-urban area; in addition, a lot more factors were found to have an influence the population inflow of a small and medium city or non-urban area in comparison with a metropolitan. However, the results revealed that the increase in the number of businesses had an influence on the influx of the population in all regions commonly. In addition, this study confirmed that a small&medium city or non-urban area differs from a big city in that the correlation between, or influence of the mass transportation,population size and the housing price change rates was found to be statistically significant. On the basis of these results, this study suggested the implication as follows: First, it's very necessary to link the population policy for local small & medium cities or non-urban areas with the job-creating policy. Further, the correlation of the mass transportation on the inflow of the population was statistically significant as revealed in this study, so it's important to improve the mass transportation system in non- urban areas.
