This study investigates the difference between areas around fishing ports and other areas of the Metropolitan coastal zone. We categorized the fishing ports according to the process of how fishing ports have changed, and then, from the categorization by type, after which, we analyzed the structural changes of the land use in terms of the distance from the coastal line in comparison to the entire coastal zone.
The results show that the occupying ratio of industrial land use in the areas around most of the sampled fishing ports is low, and the occupying ratio of residential land use is high in these areas. Since the areas of all the types of fishing ports indicate the same results, we suspect that the condition of the location of the ports that are similar to the land use of the inland areas is one of the factors that caused the results.
