This study explores various definitions of sprawl to derive proper indices to measure the level of sprawl in Korea. To perform this task, four indices are selected -- population-urbanized area growth ratio, population-road ratio, residential sprawl, and commuting time. The main findings are follows.First, since the main characteristics of residential development in Korea is high-density development, the American concept of sprawl represented by the single family low-density dispersed housing development does not fit in Korean case. Therefore, the density standard alone cannot be a proper sprawl index in Korea. Second, the Korean concept of sprawl is well fit with population-road ratio (infrastructure), urbanized area and commuting time standard of sprawl indices.Third, the sprawl areas spread over neighborhood cities and towns as time passes in the Capital region and the northern parts of Chungcheong region, along with other major metropolitan cities.
