Abstract

This study analyses the relationship between the degree of regional economic activity (GRDP) and the regional light intensity collected by satellites (DMSP OLS). As a result of the analysis, it is found that the regional light intensity data can reflect the differences and changes of regional economic activities. Moreover, it is found that changes of regional industrial structure affect regional light intensity as well.

본 연구는 인공위성(DMSP OLS)을 통해 수집된 지역별 빛의 세기 자료와 지역내총생산(GRDP) 자료를 이용하여 우리나라의 지역별 경제활동의 정도와 지역별로 포착된 빛의 세기(조도) 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 우리나라 지역별 빛의 세기 자료는 경제활동 정도의 지역별 차이 및 이의 변동 상황을 상당 부분 반영하는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 지역의 산업구조 변동 상황도 지역별 빛의 세기에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.
