Local decline can be caused by business closures or the departure of the youth. Most countries have been striving to overcome regional inequality through local or community entrepreneurship using assets or contents obtained from differentiated and original embedded resources. The purpose of this study is to conceptualize local contents and local entrepreneurship. To reach the research goals, this paper utilizes the grounded theory as qualitative methodology. From the main findings, this paper suggests that entrepreneurship in the local is influenced by informal alley or specific location (regions) institution outputs so called as local contents which are local norm, culture, local identities. This paper conceptualizes local contents as 'product of creative scenario'. And this work also suggests the liner model for local content innovation. The contribution of this work are two: 1) showing how the local content creation process; 2) analyzing the how local entrepreneurship configures. It can be inclusive potential startups items rooted at the unique resources and assets of the locals and reflecting the originality of locality. In terms of local institutional perspectives, local development takes pace when advancing application of local entrepreneurship. In order for that, practical challenging is more needed by using informal local institutions. Also 'three step linear model' will be applied to educate the new creators. Local contents and local entrepreneurship can definitely rehabilitate locality.

우리나라는 원조를 받는 수원국에서 원조를 주는 공여국로 성장한 최초의 국가이며, 경제력 신장에 따라 국제사회에서의 국가 위상 역시 크게 높아 졌다. 한국에 대한 국제사회의 기여요구가 증가함에 따라, 우리나라는 2009년 경제협력개발기구(OECD) 개발원조위원회(DAC)에 가입하여 국제사회에서의 영향력을 확대하고 있다. 한국의 국제개발원조는 한국국제협력단(KOICA)을 통해 대부분 이루어지고 있으나, 그 범위가 넓어 실질적으로 농업부분의 원조는 2009년의 경우 250억 내외로 전체 지원금의 6.8-8.8% 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 농림수산식품부는 농업부문에 특성화된 국제협력사업을 추진함으로써, 첫째, 수혜국의 농업 농촌개발과 농가소득 증대에 따른 빈곤문제 해결은 물론, 둘째, 아국의 해외농업개발 및 해외농업자원 개발에 힘쓰고 있다. 이러한 기본방향은 우리정부가 해외농업개발 및 농업자원 확보의 중요성을 인식하여, 적극적인 민간참여하에 기업, 대학, 연구소 등의 컨소심엄 구성에 의한 사업추진을 유도함으로써 지원국과 수혜국 등 양국 모두의 이익을 추구하는데 목적이 있다. 따라서 동국대학교 ODA사업은 아시아 중점 협력국인 베트남의 달랏 (Dalat)지역을 대상으로 농업시설 및 기술지원 사업을 수행하고 있다. 베트남은 외국과의 경제협력에 노력을 기울이고 있으나, 현재까지 도 농간 심각한 경제적 불균형과 농촌빈곤 문제를 해결하지 못하고 있다. 그러나 베트남 달랏은 농업 환경여건이 원예 특용작물 생산에 적합한 지역이므로, 고부가가치 농산업의 특성화를 통한 베트남 농업 개선사업의 모델을 제시할 수 있는 적지이다. 본 사업은 베트남의 특성화된 고부가가치 작물 연구 및 생산지원, 한국 농기업과 연계한 베트남 원예 특용 농업유전자원의 지속적 확보와 이용, 국내 농산업관련기업의 해외시장 개발 등을 목표로 하고 있다. 이러한 협력과 지원으로 베트남의 경제적 기술적 발전과 경제구조의 회복을 유도하고, 도 농간의 균형발전을 통한 저개발국가의 경제발전모델을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 한국의 해외 농업유전자원의 지속적 확보 및 이용, 대외 이미지 제고와 외교력 강화, 경제협력 강화와 국내 농산업 관련기업의 발전 및 해외 진출 확대, 국제회의 및 협상에서의 아국의 입지강화 등에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study analyzes the determinants and patterns of regional migration in Myanmar. Population migration is affected by various factors such as economic and social factors as well as regional characteristics. It is affected by factors such as income, employment and social overhead capital. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the following two research problems. First, I would like to analyze whether the reform and opening of Myanmar is causing the migration of rural to urban population. Myanmar is also trying to verify the pattern of population migration experienced by other developing countries. Second, we analyze the impact of social overhead capital on population migration in Myanmar. We analyze the impact of basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity and water on population movements. This will give implications for investment policy decision of social overhead capital for balanced regional development. First, the pattern of population migration in Myanmar is shifting from rural to urban areas, as other developing countries have experienced. Myanmar's urban areas of Yangon and Mandalay have been analyzed as having migration. Second, the expansion of social overhead capital was found to have an impact. Social overhead capital such as roads and educational environments were analyzed to have the capacity to inhale the population. Especially, the educational environment of the region has a great effect on population migration. It is analyzed that education reform is an important policy issue for the balanced regional development of Myanmar. Fourth, employment opportunities were analyzed to have the greatest impact on Myanmar population movements. In the early stage of economic development, it is analyzed that the population moves to a region where employment opportunity is high in the situation where foreign capital is coming in. It is analyzed that the direction of inflow of foreign capital and the imbalance of development in the region will be determined in the situation where the economic development is carried out through foreign capital.

In this local self-government era, in order to achieve real local decentralization, it is guaranteed to establish self-finances of certain administration level. Nowadays Local equalization scheme is carried out for insuring regional equal development and efficiency and effectiveness of administration and for solving vertical horizontal problem of unequal finance in local government. Local equalization scheme is the system to guarantee the financial source so that all local self-governing organizations can obtain national minimum standard while correcting the unbalance of finance and maldistribution of tax revenue source between regions. This paper presents the directions of improvement so that national subsidy and local tax can contribute to the finance balance of local self-governing organization in the uncertainties of future finance with weak financial ability. Consequently, it is required to operate the system according to balance principle by adjusting the operation form and distribution type such as national subsidy and local tax.

In the period of rapid economic growth, it is possible to practice the growth policy by factors input and the regional development policy by the dispersion of growth. But, in the period of weakened growth, this model loses its theoretical and practical merit. The endogenous regional development model that can efficiently cope with a international competition and a uncertainty of international economy become an alternative policy of growth and regional development. France, which had a problem of overcrowding in the capital region by the centralized growth policy and regional development policy, phase the regional innovation system policy in order to establish the foundation of an endogenous regional development from the 1970's. The regional innovation system policy in France which pursues simultaneously the systematic regional knowledge creation and the regional development is very suggestive to the regional innovation system policy in Korea that pursues the endogenous regional development and the solution of the regional disparity.

Over the past decades there has been an increasing demand for decentralization in order to promote the balanced regional growth in South Korea. However, several previous studies have raised concerns regarding the disparity between municipalities as the deviation of power from central government could give wealthy municipalities a clear advantage. The purpose of this study is to better understand the relationship between decentralization and balanced regional growth by examining the Great Heisei consolidation in Japan trying to enact largescale municipal restructuring in association with the promotion of decentralization. In particular, much attention is to be paid to the fact that Japanese central clearly understand the municipalities with small population size could be in a disadvantageous position during the decentralization process so that it has a policy of encouraging mergers to make the municipal system more efficient. Lessons from the case study are summarized in this study in relation to the South Korea's efforts towards the decentralization.

한국은 2050년까지 주요 선진국 중에서 고령화가 가장 심각한 사회로 전환되게 될 것으로 예상된다. 기대여명의 증가와 저 출산은 고령화를 더욱 악화시키며, 이는 심각한 사회문제로 발전하게 될 것이다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 한국정부는 2008년에 도시지역에는 주택연금제도를 도입하였으며, 2011년에는 세계 최초로 농촌지역을 대상으로 농지연금제도를 도입하였다. 그렇지만 이와 같은 제도는 설계 당시부터 복지상품이라기 보다는 장기적으로 손실과 수익의 균형에 초점을 둔 금융상품으로 개발되어 실질적으로 노인들에게 크게 인기를 얻지 못하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 농지연금제도를 활성화시켜, 농촌노인들에게 보다 더 많은 혜택을 주기 위해 지역 토지시장을 감안하여 지역별 농지가격상승률을 예측하고 연금액을 산출하였다. 또, 지금까지 사용한 년 혹은 분기별 감정가 대신에 월별, 지역별 실거래 가격을 모형에 적용하여 지역토지시장, 고령화 수준 등 지역 여건에 부합하는 연금액을 산출하였다. 할인율자료도 가장 안정적인 3년 만기 국고채 수익률을 활용하여 미래농지가격을 예측하고, 이를 유동화하여 월 생활자금으로 지급되도록 하였다. 특히 농지규모가 가장 많고, 고령화 정도가 심각하여 농지연금의 잠재적 수요가 가장 높을 것으로 예상되는 경상북도와 전라남도를 사례지역으로 선정하고, 이를 전국평균과 비교하여 지역적인 차이도 함께 분석하였다. 이를 위해 농지가격 및 이자율 시계열 자료의 안정성을 검정하고, 장기농지가격을 예측하였다. 이를 활용하여 경북, 전남, 전국의 노인들의 월평균 지급액을 추정하였다. 분석결과 정책의 잠재적 수요가 가장 높은 두 지역이 가장 낮은 금액이 지급되는 것으로 추정되어 이는 또 다른 지역불균형을 초래할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

This study attempts to figure out the impact of Information and communication technologies (ICTs) on spatial structure and to speculate on spatial strategies in the electronic economy from a geographical perspective. The unprecedented development of ICTs based on the explosive use of the Internet was enough to lead to the expectation that physical distance would not be a significant barrier in business activities. In fact, however, at least at a current stage, the development of ICTs has not automatically removed the inequality in spatial structure. The accessibility to electronic space is different by economic and social status within a country as well as between countries. The importance of place, locality, and place-specific assets has been strengthened in the global economy. Physical proximity is still of great importance because it helps to minimize transaction costs, to exploit place-specific social networks, and to accumulate credibility for successful businesses. Likewise, the development of electronic commerce such as B2B and B2C EC also does not necessarily result in the ignorance of place and locality. Rather, the recognition of the importance of spatial strategies is extremely important for the success in online businesses. As a conclusion, the spatial dimension becomes more important in the digital era for successful businesses and balanced regional developments than ever before. The need for the improvement of ICT infrastructures, the development of human resources, and the establishment of regional innovation systems in peripheral areas cannot be overemphasized even in the digital era.

This study proposes a strategy to attract visitors by analyzing the justification for hosting the 2027 Summer World University Games in Chungcheong, Korea, as well as by assessing the internal and external factors to promote regional development. Using Environmental Analysis as the diagnostic approach, we focus on strength/opportunity (SO), strength/threat (ST), weakness/opportunity (WO), and weakness/threat (WT) analyses. SO analysis show that a matching strategy of mid- to long-term cooperation among the four cities and provinces in Chungcheong and development of local sports by promoting its linkages to science, and industry offer best strategic use-value. ST analysis shows that optimal infrastructure development and establishment of competition management strategies in preparation for non-face-to-face engagement make balanced regional development possible. WO analysis shows the need for rearrangement and renovation of outdated sports facilities, development of programs linked to convergence sports tourism products, efficient and strategic attraction activities, and promoting sustainable development of bed town cities. WT analysis suggests that the imbalance in regional development due to expansion of sports facilities, insufficient cultural contents in tourism, and tourism demand fluctuation are potential problems. Follow-up studies can focus on deeper analysis of the possibility and attractiveness of hosting the Summer World University Games in Chungcheong, Korea using qualitative methods such as focus group interviews and in-depth interviews with stakeholders and local residents.
