Hello, I am Jiho Kim.

I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees in Urban Engineering at Chungbuk National University, where I have focused on understanding a wide range of issues emerging within urban and regional contexts.

My research interests lie in how population dynamics, spatial structure, urban functions, and public policies interact to produce uneven outcomes across cities and regions. I view phenomena such as disparities in living conditions, spatial concentration or exclusion of urban functions, and regional imbalance not as isolated problems, but as interconnected results of underlying urban structures.

To investigate these issues, I employ data-driven approaches using spatial statistics and GIS. I consider analytical tools not merely as techniques for measurement, but as means to better interpret the relationship between people and space. Through this approach, I aim to diagnose urban problems more precisely and contribute to policy-relevant insights toward more balanced and sustainable cities.
