본 연구의 목적은 공간가중회귀모형(Geographically Weighted Regression, GWR)을 이용하여 2012년 대선 투표율 및지지율에 나타난 인구사회학적 변수들의 공간적 변이와 분포 특성을 살펴보는 것이다. 일반적으로 투표율 및 지지율과 관련성이 높다고 알려진 인구사회학 변수들인 연령, 교육수준 등을 독립변수로 통계청 온라인 데이터베이스를 활용하였고, 선거관리위원회의 2012년 18대 대선의 시군구별 투표율을 종속변수로 하여 보수적 성향의 그룹과 진보적 성향의 그룹간의 분포특성을 분석하였다. 모형 추정결과 2012년 선거는 투표율에 있어서 세대 및 교육수준에 따라 전반적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타나고 있지만, 지역과 지지하는 후보에 따라 공간적인 차이가 나타남을 확인하였다. 기존의 연구들이 일반회귀분석(OLS)을 이용하여 표본으로부터모집단 전체의 특성을 추정한 것과는 달리 이 연구에서는 GWR을 이용하여 통계청 및 선거관리위원회 통계자료로부터 시군구단위의 국지적 수준의 회귀계수를 추정함으로써 투표율에 영향을 주는 인구사회학적 변수들의 공간적 분포특성을 세부적으로 탐색할 수 있었다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The object of this study is upper class house in Yang-dong village with the purpose of spatial-sociological study of traditional Korean architecture. Space is the basic element of architecture and is fundamental for understanding architecture. Space, however, can be better understood through its social context rather than through its physical or psychological attributes. Space exists in a society, providing the physical environment which frames it Social environment affects the thoght of people who are members of that society. Space is built by the people in a society and is affected by their thought. Spatial-sociological study can explain a mutual relation between people and space through context. It defines characteristics of space based on mutual relations which exist among the people, the culture of society and the environment of society but also having a sociological component, study of architectural space should consider the social context. Since architectural space is built on social and cultural bases, to understand it requires various methods of study Spatial-sociological analysis is one alternative. Using space syntax, this study analyzes houses in Yang-dong village by not only defining attributes of individual houses, but also common attributes of houses in the village. Based on common attributes of houses in the village, the attributes of Yang-dong village houses can be re-defined within the social context. the results from a spatial-sociological analysis of upper class housing of the Yang-dong village are as follows; (1) Related to confucian ideas in Chosun Dynasty : A house has a dualistic center organized with 'an-chae' and 'sarang-chae'. 'an-chae' space is organized unsociably from outside. (2) Related to various space pattern of Yang-dong village House in the Chosun Dynasty period :As variations in the types of space pattern, the village house exhibit different attributes.
