In this dissertation, I analyzed the pattern of urban spatial structure of Siheung City that had been divided into two parts and presented alternative plans in order to get rid of these phenomena. Concerning patterns of urban spatial structure, I examined it through means of analyzing status of land use,population density and distribution of residence, status of distribution of main facilities, medical facilities, status of distribution of cultural facilities, distribution of land prices and traffic volume trends. The results of study revealed that status of facilities distribution and distribution of land prices, etc. were bisected by the surrounding area of former municipal office and the district of Sihwa, which were both regarded as one apex of the city divide, forming a duo-centric city. And the results of investigation into seven major fields for life activities, such as use of cultural facilities, shopping, education, visiting government agencies, using medical facilities and eateries that most popularly used by families are as follows: First, most of residents who live in the district of Sihwa carry out their 7 main life activities within the same district, and their dependency upon Seoul was much higher than that of those residents who are living in the area adjacent to former municipal office and the central districts of Siheung City and other regions. Second, those resident who are living in the surrounding zone of former municipal office mostly answered that they use facilities located in the cities adjacent to their residences or in Seoul when engaging in 7 main life activities, so that they seldom use facilities located in the district of Sihwa. Third, in case of those residents who live in other regions than the aforesaid zones in Siheung City, the results revealed that, in case they are not from the same region, their dependency upon nearby cities and Seoul are greater. In order to get rid of this problem concerned with urban spatial structure that has been bisected, it is required that: First, measures in order to expand facilities in Siheung City should be taken. Particularly, the results of investigations revealed that there is lack of cultural and shopping facilities, and so forth, in the surrounding area of former municipal office. Second, it is required that there be constructed a system for transportation network that would connect the central part of duo-centric city. That is to say, primarily, expansion of existing national road and local road or its pavement works should precede more than anything else. Recently the city has been made growths and developed centering around the surrounding zone of new municipal buildings, therefore, it is required that transportation networks, such as roads and railways be constructed accordingly. Third, it is also required that, having established axis of development and of Green Zone, such demands as for developments be led to the regions near axis of development and Green Zone must be taken care of for further use of preservation though the agreements of citizens.
