Abstract: Amenity resources are relevant to the regional economy development, population migration, income distribution and tourism development. For this reason, many government officials have adopted these amenities as the regional planning and development strategies. This study intends to analyze the spatial distribution and the spatial autocorrelation on the regional amenities using GIS (geographic information system) and GeoDA (spatial autocorrelation tool). For the purpose of this study, 22 amenities are chosen such as natural, sociocultural and economic amenities. The analysis units of this research are nationwide 146 Si and Gun except Gu area. The main results can be summarized as follows: Most natural amenities are clustered spatially and the spatial autocorrelation index (Moran`s I) are very positive. However, there are no spatial autocorrelation on some of the sociocultural and economic amenities. In addition, this study analyzes the LISA (local indicator of spatial association) about the 22 amenities, many hot spots are discovered on the spatial distribution of the amenities. In conclusion, it is suggested that further research need to carry out whether these amenities affect the regional economy or not.
