Korea has experienced the rapid urbanization through industrialization which attracted many people to the cities since 1960. The urban population has already marked 75% of the total. The extedned urban area, concentrotion of urban function and large population within built-up area expose serious' environmental, traffic and housing problems. Thus population concentration and structural change of industry have needed wider area for industrial and commercial, transportation and public land, and decreased forestry and farmland, Especially the lack of housing necessitate many apartments. This research draws land use map for 56 cities in Korea using 3,000 airphotos in 1960's and 1980's, and also summerizd the land use analysis, mainly concerning its use and structure. The characteristic of each city land use change will be reported next time. The analysis of land use is as follows. 1. When the increasing city population pattern is examined, the big cities and industrial cities have growing fast. Therefore the great change of land use mostly appeared in them. 2. Since 1960 urban area of such city has been greatly expanded, as Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Kwangju, Daejon, Ulsan, Suwon and Chungju which are major Korean cities. Surprisingly large expansion of built-up area were made in Sungnam, Suwon, Buchun, Kwangmyung, Changwon and Ulsan whose increasing rate of built-up area is more than 10 times between 1960-1980. These cities are located nearby Seoul and they are also major industrialized cities. They also showed a large increment of apartment area. 3. Factor analysis using land use and three other variables (total population, population in manufacturing, % of population in commerce) shows three major factorsr in 1960's which are urban land use factor, factor of reality with development and suburban land use factor. But in 1980's it reduced to two factor ; urban land use and suburban land use. Cluster analysis on the factor scores grouped Korean cities into five in 1960's. The first is Inchon, the second, Seoul, the third, small cities in local province and cities with large farm land, the fourth, Pusan, Taegu, the fifth, the rest. In 1980's five group was also classified. Seoul was first group, cities with large forest and farmland were second, Pusan and Taegu were third, industrial cities were fourth, and the rests were fifth. 4. The multiple regression analysis using built-up area as a dependent variables and the rest variables as independent variables shows the commercial population as a main variable which explains 91% of dependent variable in 1960's. This meant that the urban land use was closely related with the commercial function at that time. In 1980's the large farmland within city boundary, the city population and % of commercial population, the increment of industrial land. use, have greately influenced for enlarging built-up area. These four variables(city population, commercial population rate, farmland, industrial land use) explain about 96% of dependent variable which is built-up, area. 5. According to Kansky law measuring city form, most Korean city become round shape with the shape index decreased. However, seashore cities and cities locates in more or less narrow valley have increased shape index. 6. Compare to foreign cities, Korean cities have wider forests and farmlands. In certain aspect, these are limiting factors for development for their outer location. Some parts of them are not under management. Not a little illegal uses are executed in those area. But in the future, the city is completely depends on how it will develop the forest area and farmland. Mutual prosperity planning by the government and prevent of land speculation will help increasing city facilities.
