Abstract

Recently, Economic spaces around the world have changed dynamically. Creative arts and cultural actors have begun to emerge in old industrial neighborhoods of major metropolitan cities. These new actors can be seen as creative actors in arts and culture, as well as non-economic actors that have been somewhat overlooked in the traditional approaches of economic geography. They contribute to overcoming regional economic crisis, as these actors bring a particular deviant and creative atmosphere in the neighborhood. Especially, informal gatherings of artistic communities play a pivotal role in knowledge platforms for dynamics of knowledge creation and creativity, which has a significant effect on shaping a creative milieu in the initial stage of formation of a regional ecosystem. In this regard, this paper will investigate the fundamental mechanisms and driving forces of urban spatial restructuring through a case study of the creative arts and cultural ecosystem in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, Korea. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to identify the formation process and key drivers behind the development of the early arts and cultural ecosystem in Seongsu-dong from an evolutionary perspective.

경제활동공간이 역동적으로 변화하고 있다. 특히 서울시 성동구 성수동 지역은 제조업 집적지였지만, 현재 급격한 변화를 겪고 있는 대표적인 지역 중 하나라고 할 수 있다. 성수동 지역은 도심 제조업이 쇠퇴하면서 공장 이전이나 폐업으로 인한 빈 공간에 새로운 행위자가 유입되고 있다. 이러한 행위자들은 전통적인 접근법에서는 다소 간과되었던 비경제적 행위자인 문화예술 부문의 창조적 행위자들이며, 이들의 비공식적인 모임인 문화예술 인식공동체는 생태계 형성 초기에 지역 생태계가 창조적 환경으로 변화하는데 영향을 끼친 것으로 보인다. 본 연구의 목적은 도시 공간구조 변화 메커니즘의 근본적인 동인을 규명하여 공간적 함의를 도출하고자 하는 것이며, 이를 위해 진화적인 관점에서 인식공동체의 단계별 형성과정에 따라 초기 문화예술 기반의 창조적인 지식생태계의 형성과정과 추동요인을 고찰하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 인식공동체는 진화적인 경로 창출과정에서 지역 프로젝트를 진행하며 지식창출을 위한 지식플랫폼으로서 일시적인 공간 형성에 기여했고, 성수동 지역은 공간적 근접성을 넘어 관계적 근접성을 추구하며 관계적 공간을 형성하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
