Abstract This study examines the urban formation and spatial usage of concentrated Chinese communities, with a particular focus on Daerim 2-dong and Jayang 4-dong in Seoul, Korea. While both areas cater to the Korean Chinese ethnic group and Chinese immigrants, their formation histories differ significantly. Daerim-dong emerged due to the relocation of Korean Chinese residents following the New Town Development plan in Garibong-dong, whereas Jayang-dong was established through voluntary migration to create a new sense of place. Presently, these districts serve as prominent Chinese commercial hubs, offering distinct cultural experiences such as Chinatown in Daerim-dong and Lamb skewer street in Jayang-dong, which have reshaped urban landscapes significantly. This research aims to compare and contrast Daerim-dong and Jayang-dong, focusing on Chinese commercial areas and consumer demographics. Employing qualitative and quantitative research methods, the analysis will elucidate the spatial utilization characteristics of these concentrated Chinese regions. Visual documentation will be provided to illustrate the contrasting urban environments of the two areas.
