Abstract

In this study, we performed spatial cluster analysis which considered spatial information using earthquake data for Korean peninsula occurred on 1978 year to 2005 year. Also, we look into how to be clustered for regions using earthquake magnitude and frequency based on spatial scan statistic. And, on the basis of the results, we constructed earthquake map by earthquake outbreak risk and gave a possible explanation for the results of spatial cluster analysis.
