This study participated in educational programs for young designers and received trainings in sewing technology through government and local government-supported projects led by a from a skilled craftsman. These initiatives aim to revitalize the Dongdaemun fashion cluster, which is currently experiencing stagnation. Our goal is to develop denim brands that reflect the unique regional characteristics stemming from the skilled sewing techniques and denim processes of the Changsin·Sungin regions, the production hubs supporting Dongdaemun, to discover solutions for revitalizing the local industry. For the research method, we collected data by actively participating in support projects related to the Dongdaemun fashion cluster. Additionally, we gathered data by conducting a theoretical review of the sewing industry in the Changsin·Sungin regions and the Dongdaemun fashion cluster. The research results include developing a denim brand collection-eight denim products-based on Changsin-dong's unique denim sewing technology and various denim washing processes acquired through the support project and regional characteristics. Overall, this study is meaningful in presenting a sustainable plan to revitalize the domestic sewing and manufacturing industry, focusing on the Dongdaemun fashion cluster. We achieved this by developing a denim brand that leverages the sewing and washing process technology and the unique regional characteristics of Changsin-dong.

본 연구는 서울시 동대문 패션산업 집적지의 위기의 원인을 포착하고 해결방향을 모색하기 위해 그 공간적 범위를 획정하고 가치사슬 및 생산네트워크의 형태, 집적지의 공간적 특성을 살펴보았다. 동대문 패션산업 집적지의 공간적 범위는 동대문시장의 확장과 생산 배후지역의 확산을 통해 기존 연구 결과와 달리 동대문시장을 중심으로 서울 동북부지역에 넓게 분포한다고 볼 수 있다. 그리고 동대문 패션산업에서는 임가공방식의 생산방식을 채택하여 가치사슬의 각 단계가 발주업체인 도매업체를 중심으로 분절적으로 연결되어 있다. 각각의 생산네트워크는 방사형 네트워크 형태로, 생산네트워크 간의 경쟁관계와 이를 반영한 생산 과정을 통해 개별 수준의 방사형 네트워크 특성이 전체적으로도 유지된다고 할 수 있다. 이 때문에 동대문 패션산업 집적지는 이를 하나의 전체로서 바라본 기존 연구 결과와 달리 생산네트워크의 형태에 따라 공간적으로 분절되어 있는 분절된 산업집적지라고 볼 수 있다. 최근의 동대문 패션산업 집적지의 위기는 수요 감소라는 외부 충격에 취약한 방사형 네트워크의 위상구조적 문제이자 내재적 문제로 해결 방향도 그에 따라야 할 것이다. 본 연구 결과는 기존 서울시의 동대문 패션산업 연구 의 한계나 오류를 일정 부분 극복함과 동시에 현재 위기를 겪고 있는 산업집적지를 연구대상으로 삼음으로써 산업집적지 연구를 확대시켰다는 데 의의가 있다.

This research analyzed characteristic changes in trading areas and the success factors of popular fashion trading areas (Garosu-gil, Dongdaemun, and Itaewon). This research adopts a social network analysis method to semantically analyze trading areas. Articles on the three fashion trading areas were located through KrKwic software to extract keywords and calculate word frequency. Keywords with high frequency were placed through NodeXL software to identify relationships among keywords. Researchers created a network of relationships among trading areas and between past and present of trading areas to analyze and visualize. In the past (2008-2009), the trading areas of Dongdaemun, Garosu-gil and Itaewon were placed horizontally with a limited number of shared keywords between them. However, the three trading areas retain diverse rage of keywords and an organic realtionships five years later (2013-2014). Compared to the past, all three areas see the emergence of relevant fashion keywords such as 'designer', 'design', 'brand'. Additional cultural keywords such as 'culture/art/performance', 'exhibition', and 'event' have commonly appeared and imply that related industries are an important factor as well. Fashion companies that consider evaluating areas for a new store opening need to understand the trading area characteristics and select the most suitable area. In addition, it is necessary to equip the trading area with basic fashion elements as well as relavant industry when the government tries to develop fashion trading areas.
