Abstract

This study diagnoses the industrial varieties and innovation capacity of the Korean regional economy and discusses how the priority for autonomous regional development can be set. Since the late 1990s, regional development policies in Korea have been attempted from various angles to reduce the economic gap between the metropolitan area and non-metropolitan areas, but the establishment of a development strategy in consideration of regional industrial characteristics and innovation capabilities has been insufficient. With the advancement and diversification of technologies and industries, regions must seek strategic diversification to prepare for economic shocks, away from strategies that specialize in specific industries. In this study, industrial varieties in regional basis is characterized using unrelated and related varieties. Variety indices show different patterns between the metropolitan area and non-metropolitan areas and between manufacturing and service sectors, which raises the need to consider industrial characteristics in regional development. Lastly, using the variety index and the innovation capacity index as two dimensions, the regional economic status at the municipal level is categorized into four types, and proper regional development policy priorities are suggested for each type.

본 연구는 우리나라 지역의 산업 다양성 및 혁신역량을 진단하고 자생적 지역발전을 위한 우선순위 설정 방식에 대해 논의한다. 1990년대 후반 이후 수도권과 비수도권 간의 경제적 격차를 줄이기 위한 지역발전정책이 다각도로 시도되었지만, 지역의 산업 특성 및 혁신역량을 고려한 발전전략 수립은 미흡하였다. 기술과 산업의 고도화 및 다변화에 따라 지역은 특정 산업에 특화하는 전략에서 벗어나 경제 충격에 대비하기 위한 전략적 다각화를 모색해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 지역의 산업 다양성을 무관다양성(unrelated variety)과 연관다양성(related variety) 지표를 이용하여 특성화한다. 다양성 지표는 수도권-비수도권 간, 제조업-서비스업 간 상이한 양태를 보이며, 이는 지역발전에서 산업적 특성을 고려해야 할 필요성을 제기한다. 마지막으로 다양성 지표와 혁신역량지표를 두 축으로 하여 우리나라 시군구 지자체의 현 상황을 네 가지로 유형화하고 각 유형에 맞는 지역발전정책 우선순위를 제안한다.
