대구광역시 중심지 위계 설정에 관한 연구

대구 도시공간구조와 중심지 위계의 적정성을 분석했다.

This study conducted a centrality analysis using quantitative and objective indicators to examine the consistency of the urban spatial structure and central place hierarchy presented in the established "2030 Daegu Urban Master Plan." Although Daegu City has formulated urban master plans six times in total, retrospective analytical studies on urban spatial structure and central place hierarchy have been insufficient.

Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of the urban master plan and suggest future improvement directions, this study selected and analyzed five indicators reflecting central place functions: population density, number of businesses, total floor area of buildings, officially assessed land prices, and credit card transaction amounts. After constructing a 500m grid across Daegu City using GIS, spatial data were organized by spatially integrating each indicator. The spatial distribution of central place functions was examined through spatial autocorrelation analysis using Local Moran's I and three-dimensional visualization.

Additionally, central place hierarchy was comprehensively derived through Jenks Natural Breaks and Z-score analysis for each indicator. The analysis results clearly confirmed the centrality characteristics of the downtown area, with the Dongseong-ro and Banwoldang district in Jung-gu showing high values across most indicators, performing integrated administrative, commercial, and cultural functions. The Dongdaegu, Sinam, Sincheondong, and Seongseo areas demonstrated high levels across indicators, proving their functions as sub-centers.

However, the five growth promotion nodes showed relatively low centrality indicators and significant inter-regional disparities, indicating the need for functional reinforcement and role redefinition. Accordingly, the spatial structure of "1 downtown–4 sub-centers–5 growth promotion nodes" presented in the 2030 Daegu Urban Master Plan shows inconsistencies with the quantitative analysis results, raising the necessity to reestablish the urban spatial structure and central place hierarchy. This study can be utilized as foundational data for establishing future urban spatial structure plans for Daegu City through indicator-based central place analysis.
