This study identifies the types of areas in Seoul where foreigners are concentrated by reflecting the characteristics of their region of origin and residence in Seoul. Lack of cultural understanding and uniform policies for various immigrant communities are causing some social issues. Hence, this study aims to prepare the basic data from which the government can predict changes in ethnic areas and prepare policies suitable for each derived type. The 14 most populous immigrant communities in Seoul were investigated, and cluster analysis and ANOVA test were performed. This examination resulted in four immigrant community types. Each type has specific characteristics, which have influenced the creation and change of the built environment. Types 1 and 4 are collectivistic. These types gradually tend to change urban environments to emulate the environment in their region of origin. In addition, they make little effort to improve their degraded environments, and such areas become increasingly backward. In contrast, types 2 and 3 are individualistic and prefer to assimilate into a migrant region. The formation and change of the urban environment for each type can be predicted on the basis of these characteristics. From this information, the government can prepare an appropriate urban architecture policy for each type.

本研究通过反映外国人的原籍地和首尔居住地的特征，确定了外国人集中的首尔地区类型。对各种移民社区缺乏文化理解和统一政策正在造成一些社会问题。因此，本研究旨在准备基础数据，政府可以从中预测民族地区的变化，并制定适合每个派生类型的政策。对首尔14个人口最多的移民社区进行了调查，并进行了聚类分析和ANOVA检验。这项检查产生了四种移民社区类型。每种类型都有特定的特征，这些特征影响了建筑环境的创造和变化。类型 1 和 4 是集体主义的。这些类型逐渐倾向于改变城市环境以模仿其起源地区的环境。此外，他们很少努力改善退化的环境，这些地区越来越落后。相比之下，类型 2 和 3 是个人主义的，更喜欢同化到移民地区。根据这些特征，可以预测每种类型的城市环境的形成和变化。根据这些信息，政府可以为每种类型制定适当的城市建筑政策。根据这些特征，可以预测每种类型的城市环境的形成和变化。根据这些信息，政府可以为每种类型制定适当的城市建筑政策。根据这些特征，可以预测每种类型的城市环境的形成和变化。根据这些信息，政府可以为每种类型制定适当的城市建筑政策。
