In this paper, we investigate the short-range repulsion given by the quark cluster model employing an inverse scattering problem. We find that the local potential which reproduces the same phase shifts to those given by the quark cluster model has a strong repulsion at short distances in the NN1s0 channel. There, however, appears an attractive pocket at very short distances due to a rather weak repulsive behavior at very high energy region. This repulsion-attractive-pocket structure becomes more manifest in the channel which has an almost forbidden state, SigmaN(T=3/2)3s1. In order to see what kinds of effects are important to reproduce the short-range repulsion in the quark cluster model, we investigate the contribution coming from the one-gluon-exchange potential and the normalization separately. It is clarified that the gluon exchange constructs the short-range repulsion in the NN1s0 while the quark Pauli-blocking effect governs the feature of the repulsive behavior in the SigmaN(T=3/2)3s1 channel.
