Abstract

Based on the social network analysis(SNA), this study examines the structural and spatial characteristics of the actor networks of the manufacturing industries for the elderly. In the field of economic geography, former researches on network have mainly focused on the network governance. However, this study focused on the social network analysis. Centrality indexes are used to analyze the topological structure of actor networks of firms and organizations. In order to investigate the spatial structure of actor networks, not only the regional distribution of actors but also the correlation between centrality index and distance are analyzed. Network matrixes among actors are transformed to network matrixes among regions using block modeling method to reveal the spatial characteristics of the actor networks. In spite of the importance of the Capital Region, networks in the non-Capital Region like Chungnam and Pusan were showed high network density. This suggested that some kinds of policy project operating in the non-Capital Region had the influence on this network in the initial stage of industry.

본 연구는 고령친화산업의 제조부문과 관련된 행위주체 네트워크를 사회 네트워크 분석 방법을 이용하여 구조적, 공간적 특성을 분석한 것이다. 기존의 경제지리학 연구들이 네트워크 거버넌스 측면에 강조를 둔 것에 비해 본 연구는 네트워크 구조 분석에 초점을 두었다. 행위주체를 기업과 조직으로 나누어 네트워크 매트릭스 자료를 구축하고, 중심성 지수를 이용하여 네트워크의 위상구조적 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 공간구조적 분석을 위해서 행위주체의 지역별 비율을 비교하고, 중심성 지수와 거리 지표들의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 블록모델링을 이용하여 행위주체간 네트워크를 지역간 네트워크로 변환하여 공간적 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 초기 제도구축 과정에 있는 고령친화산업은 정부의 산업진흥 정책으로 비수도권 지역에 위치한 조직들이 네트워크에서의 영향력이 높게 나타났으며, 비수도권 간의 네트워크 역시 활발한 것으로 나타났다.
