To elucidate the regional characteristics that affect greenhouse gas emissions, urban characteristics that affect greenhouse gas emissions in cities were classified through factor analysis and clustered through cluster analysis to derive characteristics as factor scores. In addition, the difference in greenhouse gas emissions according to the power plant location was analyzed. The results showed that the industrial area ratio and the industrial power usage were the factors with the most significant influence on greenhouse gas emissions per person, while the power plant location had a greater impact on greenhouse gas emissions per person. Moreover, the greenhouse gas emissions per person differed according to the regional characteristics of each city, county, and district, and the research results supported the research hypothesis.

[Key Words] Per capita greenhouse gas emissions, factor analysis, cluster analysis, cross-analysis
