Abstract

This study investigated the conceptualization and application of new concept of regional resilience with case study in Korea in order to promote more sustainable regional development strategies, while problematizing dominant regional competitiveness concept in the current regional development circle under the condition of stagnant growth and ever-existing crisis in these days. Through literature review, this paper found out that regional resilience is a useful concept both to understand dramatic regional changes and to promote new regional development strategies. Furthermore, the study formulated basic research topics and issues for regional resilience through reviewing existing research outcomes on the measurement and factors of regional resilience. Through case study of two macro city-regions in Korea, this study also found out that regional resilience patterns and processes are differentiated according to the place and its scale and that both regional industrial structure formed in a path-dependent way and regional competitive characteristics are all significant to understand the regional resilience patterns and processes.

본 연구는 그동안 지역정책 전략을 지배해 온 지역경쟁력 개념이 저성장과 위기 상존 기조가 지배하는 오늘날 지역정책 전략으로서 한계를 갖고 있다는 문제의식을 토대로 보다 지속가능하고 통합적인 새로운 지역발전정책 전략을 위한 새로운 지역회복력 개념의 의미와 적용방안을 사례연구와 함께 고찰하였다. 이론적 고찰을 통해 본 논문은 대내외 여건의 급속한 변화에 직면한 지역변동을 이해하고 새로운 지역발전전략을 모색하는데 지역회복력이 유용한 개념이라는 점을 확인하였으며, 더 나아가 지역회복력의 측정과 요인에 대한 문헌분석을 통해 향후 지역회복력 관련 연구를 위한 기본방향도 설정하였다. 또한 시론적인 사례분석을 통해 우리나라를 대표하는 수도권과 동남권의 지역회복력 추이와 그 과정에서 장소와 스케일에 따라 그 패턴과 경험이 차별적이며, 지역 내 경로의존적으로 형성된 산업구조와 지역의 경쟁력 효과가 지역회복력 패턴을 이해하는데 유의미함을 파악하였다.
