【摘要】This study investigates whether the Seoul beltway is contributing to the decline of the central city and encouraging urban sprawl; by analyzing the effects of the beltway on accessibility; urban residential development patterns; and housing rents.The simulation results show that; although Seoul’s suburban beltway may contribute to raising monthly rents for the housing along the beltway catchment area; and to attracting households into the inner-ring suburbs from both the central city and the outer-ring zones; the magnitudes of these impacts are relatively minor; with <1 and 0.6%increases in total housing stock and monthly rents; respectively; for the majority of municipalities along the beltway; suggesting that the beltway has little responsibility for urban sprawl.
