Coastal cities increasingly confront tensions between development pressure and land-use regulation as amenity-oriented growth interacts with climate-related risk. Although the literature on amenities, development demand, and deregulation has advanced largely in parallel, less is known about how amenity-related spatial conditions correspond to the accumulated geography of land-use deregulation within coastal cities. This study addresses this gap by treating deregulation not as discrete policy events but as cumulative spatial outcomes and by examining their spatial correspondence with pre-existing amenity and structural conditions.

Using Busan, South Korea, we construct grid-level (200 m×200 m) measures of deregulation accumulated over 2000–2023 and relate them to scenic exposure, coastal and river accessibility, green amenities, transportation accessibility, and urban-structural controls measured at the baseline period. The results show that deregulation is spatially clustered rather than randomly distributed, with consistently higher levels observed in locations characterized by stronger coastal accessibility, favorable scenic attributes, greater transportation accessibility, and higher urban frontier pressure.

Group comparisons further indicate statistically significant differences in deregulation patterns between coastal and inland areas; however, the effect sizes suggest that deregulation reflects the co-location of multiple spatial conditions rather than a single dominant driver. Overall, the findings clarify how amenity and structural contexts are jointly associated with where deregulation repeatedly accumulates in an amenity-rich coastal city, underscoring the need for anticipatory land-use planning that accounts for spatially uneven regulatory adjustments under persistent development pressure.
