Abstract

A number of previous studies have maintained that information technologies, due to their ability to overcome distance, can nurturing an innovative class of polycentric urban configurations, i.e., network cities. The present study intends to clarify whether any network relationship has recently been emerged among Korean cities by the advancement of information technology. The analyses focused on the geography of Korean national domains (.kr domains), and the hyperlink associations among three major types of domains, namely commercial, academic, and organizational domains. The study findings altogether indicate that the advancement of global economy and information era appears to be enhancing, rather than reducing the status of primate city. Seoul dominates the entire nation, forming an enclave in the production and consumption of information. Only the domains of educational institutes show network-like relations among local centers to a certain extent. The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of the findings for future research and ‘spatial’ policy measures.

선행연구 가운데에는 정보통신기술의 거리 극복 가능성을 중시하여 광범위한 분산과 지역 연계를 그려본 사례가 많으며, 도시간 수평적 연계를 내다보는 도시 네트워크 가설이 그 한가지이다. 이 연구는, 인터넷의 정보교류를 지표로 삼아 이 쟁점을 가리는 데 목적을 두어. 한국 도메인(.kr)의 대부분을 차지하는 상업. 학술. 비영리 도메인들의 분포와 도메인간 하이퍼링크를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 도시 네트워크의 가설보다는 정보화로 말미암아 종주도시의 지배가 더욱 강화되고 있다고 판단할만한 증거들이 거듭 드러났다. 도메인과 하이퍼링크의 서올 집중 경향이 두드러져서, 서울이 전국에서 마치 하나의 고립된 섬처럼 정보의 공급원과 소비지의 역할을 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 다만 학술 도메인의 경우는, 전반적으로는 서울의 우산 아래 있기는 하지만. 지방 도시들 사이에 네트워크가 어느 정도 형성되고 있어 앞으로 더 면밀하게 검토해 볼 필요를 제기하였다.
