Recently, urban spatial structure is changing from monocentric to polycentric structure. In Korea, polycentric is proceeding quickly and increases the commuting distance and the degree of spatial miss-match. Spatial miss-match is different in the metropolitan cities and rural metropolitan cities in Korea.
