The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial structure of Mega-Economic Region particularly in Daegu using Freight Origin-Destination (O/D) Data which comes from KTDB. To diagnose the appropriate separation of Regions, the mean of three standardized indices was calculated. The indicates measured are Freight Occupancy Ratio (FOR), Freight Dependancy Ratio (FDR), Scale Parameter (SP), respectively. The result of analysis showed that FOR FDR SP indicators gave effective explanation about characteristic of Regions depending on Freight moving patterns. Especially, Gyeongsan and Gumi had high correlation Regions with FOR FDR indicator. Also, the major industries of Daegu Metropolitan based on the SP indicator are Chemical and Metal machinery industry.
