Despite various policies attempted to improve old low-rise residential areas, their improvement remains challenging in non-capital regions due to issues such as business feasibility. Therefore, by identifying where old low-rise residential areas are concentrated and understanding their specific characteristics, appropriate countermeasures can be established. There is a need for specific strategies tailored to local conditions, and in this process, comprehending the spatial distribution characteristics of old residential areas is crucial. Accordingly, this study aims to construct a database of the current status of old low-rise residential areas and urban-related projects in Daejeon Metropolitan City. Through the selection of diverse indicators, it classifies the types of old low-rise residential areas, derives their distinct characteristics, and subsequently draws implications for future improvement strategies for these areas according to each type. Indicators for physical environment, socio-demographics, economy and industry, and site characteristics were established, and a total of five types were derived through cluster analysis. These can be defined as follows: Cluster 1: Low-efficiency Aging Areas, Cluster 2: Natural Greenbelt Settlement Areas, Cluster 3: Old Downtown Areas near Stations with Aging Infrastructure, Cluster 4: Aging Development Areas, and Cluster 5: Emerging Downtown Areas. By focusing on grid cells that are not included in currently ongoing redevelopment zones and urban renewal promotion projects, this study was able to identify areas marginalized from existing development initiatives. Furthermore, establishing strategies that correspond to the characteristics of each derived type can significantly contribute to the formulation of future urban management plans.
