This study examined how residential development in commercial zones of Seoul affects employment dynamics, while also considering the hierarchy of central areas. The study findings validated that a rise in the residential floor area across the entire commercial zone had a detrimental effect on employment expansion. Nevertheless, it was discovered that a rise in residential development in urban and metropolitan areas had a beneficial effect on employment. This trend was attributed to the rise in the need for services, along with the additional impact of commercial and business activities resulting from the growth of residential areas. Hence, the implications of residential development in commercial zones on employment are contingent upon the central area hierarchy and business functions, highlighting the necessity of residential development regulations that take into account employment expansion and high-density utilization within each specific region.
