The purpose of this paper is to examine regional voting patterns in South Korea using the results from six presidential elections since the 1990s.,A χ2 test was used to determine the municipalities where a regional voting pattern emerged, and λ correlation coefficients were calculated to examine changes in the regional voting patterns.,The analyses lead to three key findings. First, voting patterns differ in Yeongnam and Honam: regional voting in Yeongnam is getting weaker, it remains strong in Honam. Second, the tendency to vote along regional lines decreased significantly in the election in which the Honam party fielded a candidate with a Yeongnam appeared identity. Third, regional voting patterns declined but then stabilized at a constant level, regardless of the candidates’ local identity, which was confirmed in “Bu-Ul-Gyeong.”,This paper can empirically verify the manifestation of regional voting pattern and confirm the trend. It is possible to derive a condition for suppressing the regional voting pattern.

韩国总统大选的投票行为–探索区域投票模式

本文的目的是使用自1990年代以来六次总统选举的结果来检验韩国的区域投票方式。使用χ2检验确定出现区域投票方式的城市，并计算λ相关系数来检验分析得出了三个主要发现。首先，岭南和湖南的投票方式有所不同：岭南的区域投票越来越弱，湖南的投票率仍然很高。其次，在选举中，沿着地区路线投票的趋势显着下降，在这次选举中，湖南党派一名具有Yeongnam身份的候选人出场。第三，区域投票模式有所下降，但随后又稳定在一个稳定的水平，而与候选人的当地身份无关，这在“ Bu-Ul-Gyeong”中得到了证实。本文可以通过经验验证区域投票模式的表现并确认趋势。可以得出抑制区域投票模式的条件。
