It is widely recognized that interregional migration is one of the most important issue in urban and regional planning. There have been lots of literature to explain interregional migration. However, the literature shows that there have been relatively few empirical attempts to analyze both the cause and the spatial pattern of migration. This study aims to analyze the cause and spatial pattern of interregional migration in Dong-nam Economic region and to suggest the direction for regional development strategy based on the result. This paper attempts to analyze the interregional migration during the period of 2000-2013 and to construct a extended gravity model to examine the influence of the neighboring region and Capital Region on the choice of destination of the migrant from Dong-nam Economic region. The results show that the most important cause of migration is economic conditions of destination and the influence of the neighboring region is more significant than that of Capital Region. This implies that the cooperative development strategy within the neighboring region should be incorporated in the process of regional development policy in Dong-nam Economic region.
