경인아라뱃길의 경관기능은 조망대상으로써 인근 아파트주민에게는 외부경제효과를 의미한다. 본 연구의 목적은 주택가격에 내재된 아라뱃길 조망권의 가치를 평가하는 것이다. 적용된 방법은 헤도닉가격모형(HPM)이다. 조망 수혜지역 내에 있는 아파트들 중 2011년 기간에 실제 거래가 이루어진 총 4,207세대로부터 수집된 자료를 기반으로 아파트매매가격, 단지특성, 입지특성, 시점특성 등과 관련된 변수들을 도출하였다. 투입 속성으로서 조망권변수는 수치지형도와 Google Mapview의 결합에 의해 고안된 조망권 알고리즘에 의해 도출되었다. 기존에 수행된 주택가격결정모형의 추정결과와 비교해 보았을 때, 본 모형의 추정결과는 계수의 크기에 있어 다소의 차이는 있으나 방향성에 있어서는 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 특히, 주거공간으로부터 아라뱃길까지의 거리와 아라뱃길의 조망권이 주택가격 형성에 있어 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 밝혔다. HPM에 의해 추정된 조망권의 가치는 평당 16.5만원으로 나타났다. 역내 모집단 아파트로 확장된 아라뱃길 조망권에 의한 지역자산 고도화 효과는 총 891억원으로 추정되었다.

The objective of this research was to develop a rural settlement demand model to analyze the determinants of settlement demand of urban residents. The point aimed at from model development was deriving stated preference of potential consumers towards rural settlement through setting a hypothetical market, and using settlement subsidy as a surrogate variable for price in the demand model. The adequate demand model deducted from hypothetical market data was derived from the basis of Hanemann's utility difference theory. In the rural settlement demand model, willingness to accept was expressed by a function of settlement subsidy. Data utilized in the analysis was collected from surveys of households nationwide. According to inferred results of the demand model, settlement subsidy had a significant influence on increasing demand for rural settlement. A significant common element was found among variables affecting demand increase through demand curve shift. The majority group of those with high rural settlement demand sought agricultural activity as their main motive, due to harsh urban environments aggravated by unstable job market conditions. Subsequently, restriction of income opportunities in rural areas does not produce an entrance barrier for potential rural settlers. Moreover, this argument could be supported by the common trend of those with high rural settlement demand generally tending to have low incomes. Due to such characteristics of concerned groups of rural settlement demand, they tended to react susceptibly to the subsidy provided by the government and local autonomous entities.

The objective of this research was to analyze the determinants of demand for residential settlements in rural societies. A significant aspect of the demand analysis was to consider depopulation classification as a moderating variable with a view to its role as an essential dividing factor of socioeconomic characteristics and physical environments of the areas of concern. The data collection for analysis was divided according to types of depopulation into the three categories of less developed, stagnated, and developed areas. For the cause and effect analysis between the residential demand and factors of settlement, the ordered probit model was applied. Significant determinants of settlement demand unfolded according to depopulation types. In the case of less developed areas, residential demand was affected significantly by the factors of daily life convenience and public facilities. Key settlement demand determinants of stagnated regions included the aspects of basic natural environment, daily life convenience and education. Meanwhile, key settlement demand determinants for developed areas included education and agriculture economic aspects. The importance-performance analysis was also applied to a set of settlement characteristics of rural communities to figure out the settlement factors requiring urgent endeavor to improve.
