Smart cities are expanding their spatial scope to urban areas and regions. Linking regional economic development strategies beyond the borders with smart city planning can lead to cooperation and economic development between regions and countries as well. The purpose of this study is to suggest cooperation and regional development of the three nations - Korea, North Korea and China - through the Yellow Sea Rim Smart Region. To this end, smart city strategies and economic development plan with implementation status in the three countries including special economic zones have analyzed that could be the spatial basis of the smart region. On the west coast of Korea facing the Yellow Sea, lots of projects related to smart cities are actively underway in Saemangeum, Yellow Sea Free Economic Zone(YESFEZ), and Incheon Free Economic Zone(IFEZ). Although the political situation is still uncertain, North Korea is analyzed to have economic and technical potential in the west coast connecting Haeju, Nampo, and Sinuiju. In Liaoning and Shandong provinces of China, smart city projects have been actively promoted in recent years especially in the state-supporting industrial cities. Restoration of economic cooperation between South Korea and China, linkage of transportation networks, vitalization of cross-border cooperation projects between China and North Korea centered on Dandong and Sinuiju, and the connecting of smart city infrastructure and services for China and South Korea's economic cooperation process will make the Yellow Sea Rim as a world prosperous economic region. However, it is necessary to establish and operate a governance system through long-term planning for transnational consultation and establishment of a promotion organization.

This study aims at proposing clear direction of tourism policy through analyzing the correlation between tourism resource, tourism system and activation of regional economic. A total of 283 samples were ultimately collected in survey of 300 researchers from the national and public institutes in provinces Chungchong-do and Kyungsang-do in July 2010 alone. SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 6.0 were used to test the model. Analysis showed that the more regional tourism resources have more significant effect on tourism system and tourist-attracting strategy, and that tourism system exerts influence on tourist-attracting strategy. So it was proved that the tourism policy effects meaningfully on vitalization of regional economic, and it was confirmed that the tourism system is more effective on the energization of regional economic than the tourist-attracting strategy. But the hypothesis has been rejected unexpectedly that tourist attractions have consequences for the activation of regional economic. It establishes the fact that it is useless for regional economy regardless of abundant regional tourism resources, if the tourism policy is not concretely in force. Therefore, Korean government must intercept overissue and overlapping investments on tourism development by the local government and induce qualitative growth of tourism sector through upgrading of development guidelines and the criteria for selecting tourism special zone, regional festival and cultural assets, and its continuous assessment and management. And it is desirable to enforce the connected cooperation projects between local governments and the 5+2 great-sphere economic blocs on government-level.

We, Korean, still remember the moment that we got so excited due to the expectation of unification between North and South Korea which turned to be failure when Kim, Il-Sung passed away in 1994. However, the recent close relationship between two Koreas has shown the remarkable improvement, and North Korea seems to be ready to expose itself to the western capitalism. The special economy zone in Sinewuiju is one of the examples showing the gradual change in N. Korea. This political change has made possible the cultural exchanges between two countries, which is similar to the process of German unification. It is absolutely necessary to learn from the previous experience happened during the German unification. We, then, need to realize how the Germany managed the problems aroused by unification Especially, the matter in integrating two different public library systems in East and West Germany is treated as a major concern through the paper. The method Germany applied on integrating two different systems was to dissolve the one in East and let it be absorbed by the one in West even the public library system in East German was known as a well-organized network. Therefore, this paper shows the process of the development of East German public library and harmonization of two different public library systems.

참여정부의 출범과 한께 과학기술계에서는 동북아 과학기술 허브 구축방안 논의가 활발히 진행되고 있으나, 현재까지 이러한 논의는 법제도의 정비 및 과학기술특구 건설 등의 이슈에 한정되고 있는 실정이며, 더욱이 이를 뒷받침할 실증적 연구는 미미하다. 허브란 개념이 네트워크에서의 중심성(centrality)을 의미 하며, 현재 및 미래의 과학학기술협력 네트워크 발전에 정보통신기술이 중요한 역할을 수행함을 고려할 때, 우리나라의 초고속통신망 인프라를 십분 활용한 차세대 과학기술 정보인프라의 구축을 통한 동북아 사이버 연구네트워크상의 허브화(궁극적으로는 e-Science의 허브화를 지향)는 지역 클러스터 건설을 통한 물리적 허브화 못지 않게 중요하다 하겠다. 본 연구는 먼저 네트워크 분석기법을 동아시아의 과학기술협력 네트워크에 적용하여 주요 네트워크 지수를 실증적으로 진단하고, 특히 이를 유럽연합의 과학기술협력 네트워크의 패턴과 비교 분석하였다. 유럽 연합은 1984년부터 과학기술 협력 프로그램인 Framework Program을 시작하여 일찍부터 역내 과학기술협력 프로그램을 운영해 온 경험을 가지고 있고, 2000년부터는 자발적 협력과 네트워킹을 통해 유럽의 연구 개발 활동을 통합·조정하기 위해 새롭게 제안된 유럽 연구개발권 (European Research Area) 형성이 구체화되고 있어, 동북아 과학기술협력 네트워크를 건설하는데 좋은 벤치마킹 대상이라 할 수 있다. 이 보고서에서는 유럽 연구개발귄이라는 우산 아래서 유럽의 과학기술 활동이 조정 및 통합되는 과정을 살펴보고, 이를 위한 과학기술 정보인프라의 주요 기능을 컨텐트 (연구정보서비스와 메타데이터 표준), 시스템 (슈퍼 컴퓨팅, 광대역 네트워크, GRID), e-Science 응용연구 별로 살펴보았다. 끝으로 유럽의 경험을: 교훈삼아 동북아 e-Science 네트워크의 건설을 위한 정책적 시사점과 동북아 연구개발정보 Portal 및 APEC APGrid 연구망 등의 구체적인 정보인프라 구축방안을 도출하였다.

Innopolis start-up has become a representative model and path for commercialization of public technology. Along with the quantitative growth of innopolis start-up, the importance of innopolis start-up in national policies and institutional strategies related to public technology commercialization has also increased. However, over the past 16 years, innopolis start-up's establishment and growth have taken place in different ways at different times. This study aims to compare and analyze changes in innopolis start-up over the past 16 years, focusing on comparisons before and after 2014, when the establishment of innopolis start-up began to increase rapidly. Main findings are as follows. First, in the early stage of the quantitative expansion period, policy changes related to innopolis start-up were the main factors for the increase in innopolis start-ups. In addition, the rapid increase in the establishment of innopolis start-up after 2016 was largely influenced by changes in the start-up environment and institutional changes related to innopolis start-up. Second, the time of registration and size of the capital of innopolis start-up had a statistically significant effect on the sales for 3 years after registration. This result shows that with the rapid increase in innopolis start-ups, the need to build a customized support system for innopolis start-ups by size or growth stage has increased.
