경제위기에 따른 지역의 회복력 분석과 영향 요인에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Regional Resilience from Economic Crises and Their Influencing Factors

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Owing to urbanization and overcrowding in the imbalanced state of the country because of rapid economic growth, severe social side effects have occurred. Against this background of the spatial environment, nationwide and global crises that impede regional economic growth have appeared repeatedly and are likely to repeat in the future. In this situation, the focus should be on the concept of resilience, a process that responds appropriately to crises and resists and recovers from eternal shocks, not simply economic growth and decline. For these reasons, this study analyzed the resilience patterns and causes of each region’s crises for Korea’s representative economic emergencies, quantitatively calculated resilience for each region, and examined the factors that affected resilience through comparison between regions and crisis periods. Therefore, resistance and recoverability were calculated for each region, and then, the regions were divided into clusters according to their characteristics. In addition, an analysis related to resilience was conducted for each period and cluster. The analysis results showed that expanding employment centers distributed in various regions, securing local self-sufficiency, increasing employment stability, strengthening regional productivity, upgrading local businesses, and fostering innovative industries affected strengthening regional economic resilience. Thus, this study provided policy implications for future spatial planning and growth management policies, such as multiple nuclei spatial systems, balanced economic development, and regional economic resilience measures, such as an expansion of specialized industries.
