Growth determinants in the core-periphery of Korea.
"This article describes the emergent spatial dispersion pattern of the urban system of the Republic of Korea, where the government has instituted a strong decentralization policy.  Intraregional decentralization is underway within the core area, while intraregional polarization towards larger regional centers is evident in periphery areas.  Through the use of step-wise regression analysis, determinants of the differential growth rates of urban centers in the core and periphery are identified.  The different spatial development processes operating in the core and periphery have implications for growth pole theory and regional development planning."
