This study aims at investigating changes of industrial structure before and after KTX stops in cities of Gyeongjeon and Jeonra lines. For the regional LQ analysis, this study uses Korea Standard Industrial Classification(KSIC), and compares the periodic changes of industrial structure for the cities associated with three industrial growth patterns, such as growth industry, slower growth industry, and depressed industry. The results show that the impact of KTX stops on regional industries is very significant and diverse among cities. In particular, interestingly, population size can lead to the diverse formation of industrial structure affected by KTX stops. Moreover, curiously though, KTX stops do not much affect the regional real estate market contrary to our expectation. It may be because real estate price change is mainly taking place in the KTX station area. Finally, this study gives good understanding of periodic change patterns of industrial structure in KTX cities, and also suggests the importance of paying attention to the regional features when setting up KTX-oriented local planning and industrial policy.
