Subsistence Mode of Small Manufacturing Enterprises at the Industrial Community in Taegu City.

대도시 주공혼재지역의 영세제조업의 존립기반: 대구시 노원동을 사례로

The purposes of this study are to identify the characteristics of inner-city industrial community and to analyse the subsistence mode of small manufacturing enterprises in the industrial community in Taegu Metropolitan area. The case study area, Nowon 1. 2-ga dong, is the typical inner city industrial community, adjacent to old industrial complex, which was recently transformed from semi -industrial to semi-residential zoning district. Now there are many old one story housing, newly constructed multi stories housing and many small factories of metal and machinery products. The conflicts of between residents and small business owners are not serious but latent. The subsistence mode of small manufacturing enterprises in this area is characterized as the network production system. The main attributes of this mode are local integration, horizontal subcontracting and strong industrial linkages in production processes and transactions. These transactions are mainly made by face-to-face contacts. The small business owners' local social networks are seen as series of units which are interconnected through various types of social and business relations. They exchange business information as using social networks. In addition, the majority of them join local social clubs with their local business counterpartners. Finally, the locational advantages of inner-city industrial community are production network, different industrial linkages and characteristic industrial milieu such as social solidarity, informal labor market and incubator effects. But these advantages are being challenged from the contradiction between capital and laned property and the urban gentrification policy. Accordingly, there should be positive redevelopment policy considering the subsistence mode of small business in these areas.

본 연구는 대구시의 대표적인 주공혼재지역인 북구 노원1 2가동을 사례로 산업지역사회의 관점에서 주공혼재지역으로의 형성과정과 영세제조업체의 존립기반을 분석하였다. 연구대상지역은 1993년 준공업지역에서 준주거지역으로의 용도지역 변경을 계기로 영세 제조업체 및 관련 서비스업과 주택이 혼재하고, 생산활동과 생활활동이 공존하는 전형적인 산업지역사회로 급속하게 변모하였다. 산업지역사회 기반으로서의 영세제조업체의 핵심적 존립기반은 중소 생산자본을 중심으로 한 생산과정상의 수평적이고 역내 통합적 네트워크 생산체계와 그 보완장치로서의 사회적 네트워크를 매개로 한 산업환경으로 집약된다.
