한국에서 장소마케팅 현상이 등장하고, 그에 대한 학계의 연구와 분석이 본격적으로 시작 된지 5년여 밖에 되지 않았고, 아직도 장소마케팅 전략을 본격적으로 도입한 도시정부는 찾아보기 힘들 정도로 우리에겐 낯선 개념이다. 도시마다 문화도시, 생태도시, 관광도시, 지속 가능한 도시, 기업하기 졸은 도시 둥을 내세우며 관광객과 기업과 외부주민을 유치하려는 각종 정책들을 펴곤 있지만, 그러한 전략들은 장소마케팅 현상의 일부로 해석될 순 있어도 장소마케팅 전략으로 자리 매김 되기엔 부족한 점이 너무나 많다. (중략)

세계화는 각 도시들이 살아남기 위해 경쟁하지 않으면 안되도록 하였고, 이러한 담론 속에서 장소는 정말로 '상품화'되고, '소비'되며, '광고'될 뿐만 아니라 '판매'되는 대상으로 간주되었다. 새로운 도시성장전략으로서의 장소 마케팅이란 공공·민간 주체들이 기업가와 관광객 심지어 그 장소의 주민들에게 매력적인 곳이 되도록 하기 위해 주로 문화적인 전략을 통해서 지역의 이미지를 제고시키고 지역의 경제 활성화를 꾀하는 다양한 방식의 노력들이라고 할 수 있다. 고양시는 지역에 특화된 화훼산업을 기반으로 한 꽃 전시회라는 지역의 작은 행사를 '고양 세계 꽃 박람회'라는 장소 마케팅으로 발전시켰다. 이것은 지역 이미지 제고, 지역정체성과 시민단합에 매우 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 지역경제 활성화의 측면에서는 화훼업의 특성상 국내의 전반적인 경기침체와 같은 이상 변수로 직접적인 효과는 뚜렷이 나타나지 않았으나 장기적인 관점에서 경제적 효과가 커질 것으로 예상된다. 고양시의 사례 연구는 서구에서 발전한 장소 마케팅이 우리 나라에서도 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

This paper aims to examine the ways in which the Singaporean government has promoted the "global city" imaging strategy as a means for marketing Singapore. Since the 1990s, Singapore has pursued a place-marketing strategy that aims at imaging itself as a "creative", "culturally vibrant" and "cosmopolitan" global city by utilizing various cultural, tourist and spatial policy measures. It argues that the Singaporean government has promoted this particular imaging strategy under a broader economic resoucturing program, aiming at transforming the Singapore's economy into a "knowledge-driven" one, under which the attraction of international knowledge workers is seen as crucial for the competitiveness and innovation. This paper also discusses the limitations of this strategy, focusing on growing tensions between the global and the local in the Singaporean society and the ways in which the authoritarian and top-down nature of governance have restricted the genuine development of the "culturally vibrant" environment in Singapore.

This paper aims to critically discuss the place-marketing strategy that has been widely seen as an alternative way of regional development for the last decade in South Korea. In particular, it argues that the place-marketing strategy is highly likely to intensify the inter-local or inter-urban completion and to result in the territorialization of places because it is based on the essentialist notion of place that has been suggested by the humanistic geographers. In order to logically support my argument, I will critically review the essentialist notion of place, and introduce an alternative notion of place, in which the place is seen as socially constructed through complicated power relations and social, political and cultural processes. Also, I will logically demonstrate that the place-marketing can be seen as a strategy for territorializing places by discussing how territory is socially and politically constructed as a particular form of place.

Global society is shifting and now evolving towards glocalization, meaning the increasing role of region and multi scalar interactions between region and global social world. In this glocalization era, there has been mushrooming literature and much discussions on the impacts of place-branding and place-marketing on regional development both in academia and practical researches. The inclusive and participatory creative place-making process, however, is more quintessential than the resultant place marketing strategy. This paper tries to reassess the creative place-making based on culture-led regional development perspectives. Specifically it compares Korea and Japan's strategies and suggests a hybrid model of place-making-branding-marketing, utilizing cultural content industries. It then stresses the importance of building a virtuous circle of sustainable regional cultural industrial ecosystem including culture-based interpretation of places and improvement of community quality of life.
