The United Kingdom and the United States are designating and implementing enterprise zones for the purpose of promoting the revitalization of the local economy. However, there are still mixed views on the effectiveness of the Enterprise Zone's policies. At this point, the purpose of this study is to look at policies in the form of enterprise zones in the country and see how these policies affect the revitalization of the local economy. As a result of the analysis, the areas designated as enterprise zones were becoming more economically vitalize than those that were not. In addition, it was analyzed that redundant designation of enterprise zones has a greater effect on regional economic revitalization than single designation.

Japan's new local revitalization plan is unique in that the national government has asked local governments to form their own initiatives; and we can expect that there will be various ideas from the perspectives of local residents. However, it is important to note that not all local governments considered the actions of their competitors and neighboring governments. Currently, Japanese industries are so interconnected that we cannot ignore the actions of others. In this paper, we propose a simple indicator that policy makers can use to determine the focus for the local economy.

This study postulates a study model to examine the effect on the local economy revitalization of a selection of local resources, the local innovation capability strengthening, the establishment of promotion system and the creation of revenues for the participant groups of the local industry promotion project. To accomplish study purposes, 169 response samples from 85 project groups which drive the local industry promotion project were verified using SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 5.0. The results showed that firstly, the selection of local resources had a significant effect on the local innovation capability strengthening. Secondly, the local innovation capability strengthening had a significant effect on the establishment of promotion system. Thirdly, the establishment of promotion system had a significant effect on the creation of revenues. Fourthly, the selection of local resources didn't have an effect on the revitalization of local economy. Fifthly, both the local innovation capability strengthening and the establishment of promotion system didn't have an effect on the revitalization of local economy. Sixthly, the creation of revenues had a significant effect on the revitalization of local economy. According to the verifications of study model, the revitalization of local economy is achieved by inducing creation of revenues through the local innovation capability strengthening and the establishment of promotion system after the selection of local resources. From these results, this study presents suggestions, limits of study and directions in the future study.

Purpose This paper examines the role of local market-based communities in driving regional revitalization, using detailed analysis of online networks. We aim to dissect a local community's communication network, highlighting members with high engagement levels and exploring their characteristics. Our goal is to identify the conditions that allow local community networks to grow independently and to demonstrate how the activation of these networks contributes to regional revitalization. Design/methodology/approach We employ a mixed-methods approach, combining social network analysis with statistical techniques to investigate the structure of online communication networks. Specifically, we use ANOVA to determine the statistical significance of our findings, ensuring their reliability. To complement our quantitative data, we include qualitative insights from interviews, adding depth and context to our analysis. Findings Our results show that individuals with high centrality in the online network are crucial for maintaining active local communities. We find that leveraging local resources to create a supportive and adaptable environment is essential for the communities' sustainability and expansion. Importantly, our research draws a direct connection between the vitality of local community networks and the broader process of regional revitalization. We argue that energizing local communities is an effective way to address the risk of regional decline. By integrating quantitative analysis with qualitative feedback, this study contributes to the understanding of local market-based communities as key drivers of regional development. It emphasizes the importance of building vibrant, resourceful community networks to revitalize areas experiencing socio-economic challenges.

이 연구에서는 도자기를 모티브로 한 일본의 한 농촌지역의 지역활성화운동의 사례를 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 도자기가 지역활성화의 모티브가 된 역사와 핵심 활동가집단의 이념적 특성과 역할, 그리고 변화하는 현실에 대한 지역사회의 대응전략 등을 중점적으로 검토하였다. 마시코(益子)지역의 도자기산업은 19세기에 본격적으로 발전하기 시작하였고, 20세기에 접어들어서 여러 번 고비를 겪었지만 1960년대부터 민예운동과 결합되면서 비교적 안정적으로 도자기산업이 성장하였다. 이러한 마시코의 경험은 1980년대 말 이후 일본정부가 주력하였던 '위로부터의' 지역활성화운동과는 달리 자생적인 '밑으로부터의' 지역활성화운동이라고 평가할 수 있다. 또한 일본 전국에 유행처럼 번진 지역활성화운동들보다 선행하여 지역의 전통적이고 토착적인 문화적 자원을 적극적으로 활용한 사례라고 할 수 있다. 민예운동과 결합한 마시코의 지역활성화운동은 문화예술가 집단의 이념적 지도를 바탕으로 부단히 변화하는 현실의 상황들에 적극적으로 대응하여 왔다. 그 대표적인 예로 들 수 있는 것이 1950년대 중반부터 일용 도자기생산으로부터 민예품 도자기생산으로의 전환과 1960년대 중반의 도자기생산 및 판매의 핵심활동가집단의 공식적 출범과 산지직매체계의 구축, 그리고 1980년대 이후의 본격적인 민관협력 등이다. 현재까지 도자기를 모티브로 한 마시코의 지역활성화운동은 비교적 성공적인 길을 걸어왔지만, 지역사회의 다양하고 복잡한 최근의 내부 분화는 현실의 조건에 맞게 새로운 전통을 만들어가야 하는 상황에 놓여 있다는 것을 말해준다.

양산 ICD(Inland Container Depot)는 2000년 3월 개장 이후 2005년 133만 TEU를 처리하여 국제물류경쟁력과 부산지역의 컨테이너화물 운송 경쟁력을 높여 부산항 및 우리나라 항만물류산업에서 중요한 역할을 담당하였다. 그러나 2006년 부산항 신항 개장과 신항배후부지의 조성에서 물동량이 급감하여 활성화를 위한 새로운 방안이 모색이 필요한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 AHP(analytic hierarchy process)를 활용하여 평가모형을 설정하고, 양산 ICD 내 입주기업 및 관계자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 양산 ICD의 활성화 방안을 모색하였다. 연구의 결과, 양산 ICD 활성화 방안으로 입지와 시설의 장점을 고려한 물류시설(공동집배송센터, 물류창고)로의 기능전환이 필요하며, 이용기간 연장, 건폐율 확보를 통해 기존 및 신규 기업활동의 안정성을 보장하여야 할 것이다. 또한 ICD 내 철도역 등 시설을 활용하여 적극적인 철도활성화 정책을 통해 철도택배 등을 활용하여 신규 물동량을 창출하고, 공로 중심의 국가물류체계에서 철송 활성화를 통한 내륙물류기지로서의 그 역할을 제시하였다.

Iriai an Indigenous forest management system in Japan from the viewpoint of "common pool resources" was a success resilient institution and resulted with sustainable production system and environmental conservation. This study was conducted in Osawa of the Nagano prefecture through group discussions, field observations and an in-depth field survey. Osawa Property Ward Forest is managed under the concept very much similarly to traditional "Iriai". This study firstly examined the changes of collective forest management system in terms of awareness and interest in forest management; forest management activities; role of forest; and collection of forest products. Then it analyzed the current threats for collective forest management have been identified as: land abandonment due to loss of benefits and lack of active community participation; deterioration of forest environment particularly the micro-climate and aesthetic values; conflict with local government authorities restraining the use of money in property ward forest and conflict with outsiders on damping of the garbage. Community cantered forestry management rules; livelihood contribution; protection of environment; local initiatives for protection and economic activities are the prevailing opportunities for collective forest management. The main requirements for revitalization of collective forest management are explained as local reciprocity; imposition of community based forest rules; encouraging local innovations; and building partnerships with stakeholders. Collective forest management system addresses the limitations of conventional forestry models, which had invalidated traditional 'iriai' institutions, and key to restoring sustainable use of forest and environmental resources. Cross-institutional collaborations together with responsibilities of local communities would ensure the revitalization of forest resources.

In a situation in which rural areas are declining, local governments are seeking to revitalize areas by place marketing. Place marketing, defined by various efforts to promote the image of a place, has been used as an economic tool. As a result, the image has been over-promoted and marketing has been driven in a perfunctory manner, so individual residents' lives and experiences have been ignored. Thus, in addition to the traditional types of cultural place marketing and economic place marketing, this study established a 'project for rural revitalization of Hwayang-eup' so that it could be applied to political place marketing aimed at inducing internal investment and improving the welfare of local residents. To implement this project, the concept was set up as building network organization, sustainable development and symbiotic relationship, and various H/W and S/W plans were developed. First of all, in terms of political place marketing, the Hwaeyang Oulim Center was constructed to strengthen the capacity of local autonomous organizations. In terms of cultural place marketing, we explored cultural resources at the village level and created a small community space. In terms of economic place marketing, the landscape around the main street and the township was reorganized to create a cultural business space for urban and rural exchanges. The reinterpretation of place marketing seen through this project was first, it was more process-oriented than results, second, it was important to induce the community-participating village-making project, and finally, the role of experts was important to expand the community movement.
