Abstract
This study aims to analyse the patterns of low-income residential segregation in South Korea from a macro and micro perspective and to determine the net effect of redevelopment policy implementation on low-income residential segregation. By manipulating the National Basic Livelihood Recipients as low-income people, we examine the residential segregation of low-income people measured by the dissimilarity index, isolation index, location quotient, and local Moran's I in seven metropolitan cities representing South Korea between 2011 and 2020. This study analyses the net effect of redevelopment on low-income residential segregation using the propensity score matching (PSM) method, estimating that redevelopment reduces low-income residential segregation by 0.0289. The findings show that low-income residents cluster in urban centres and become less concentrated as they move outwards, and PSM analysis shows that redevelopment mitigates low-income residential segregation. This article provides insight into the need to consult with those responsible for low-income housing policy to ensure redevelopment's positive impact on low-income residential segregation.
