Abstract
This paper makes clear characterlstics of zones which are organized by urbanization. Conclusions are as follows. (1) The major facter which characterizes municipalities (cities, towns, and villages) is urbanization. It's a dynamic transion of region that unequal development of industries causes difference of regional economies, thus densely inhabited area is organized by concentration of population to economically superior region. (2) Accessbility to metropolice and locating in trafic network are main reasons to create 2 zones; namely metropolitan zone and provincial zone. (3) In metropolitan zone, urbanization of manicipality is not determined by its population but accessbility to metropolice. Thus homogeneously urbanized region is organized. (4) In provincial zone, urbanization of municipality is proportioned to its population (5) In regional planning, we must pay attention to characteristics of municipality which are regulated by zone.
