The present study suggests an analytical method to overcome the spatial problems that traditional hedonic methods have. The concept of overlapping neighborhoods is introduced in order to solve the problems of global parameter estimate methods that treat the whole city by the gross. Moreover, a 3rd party program for the tight coupling of GIS and statistics is developed in order to explore hedonic methods efficiently. By using these, this study analyses the spatial variation of location variables that affect the real estate price. The results show that the influences of urban centers do not reach to the whole city, but only to the catchment areas of them. And the coefficients of location variables are different depending on the space. The tight coupling of GIS and statistics offers a powerful tool in analysing the real estate price efficiently.
