Abstract

Internet is the most important element in the emergence of the Internet economy, which derives the creation of new firms and employment, and brings about the new ways of marketing and business. The emergence of the Internet economy and the rapid growth of the Internet industry have a great deal to changes in the spatial economy. Korea has experienced a rapid growth of the Internet industries, but few geographical studies have been done to explain the impact of the development of the Internet industries on the spatial economy. This research explored how Korea has developed as a nation of the strong Internet economy in terms of driving forces by demand and supply side. This research tried to build a data set for the Internet industries with the introduction of a new classification scheme and a measurement. The most important finding from this research was the spatial concentration of the Internet industries toward Seoul at the national level and toward the Gangnam area within Seoul. The rise of Internet industries has added attractiveness to Seoul which enjoys a kind of cumulative and circular advantages.

인터넷의 확산에 따라 인터넷 경제가 도래하면서, 인터넷 경제의 핵심적 역할을 하는 인터넷 산업은 상당히 빠른 속도로 성장하고 있다. 우리나라도 이미 인터넷 경제에 들어섰으며, 인터넷 관련 산업들이 새롭게 등장하고 있다. 이러한 인터넷 산업의 성장은 공간경제구조에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있으나. 아직까지 인터넷 산업에 대한 지리학적 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 인터넷 산업의 성장을 가져온 주요 동인을 수요와 공급적인 측면에서 살펴 본 후에, 인터넷 산업의 분류체계를 구축하는 방법을 모색하고. 그 방법에 따라서 인터넷 산업에 대한 데이터베이스를 구축하였다. 이렇게 구축된 데이터베이스를 토대로 하여 인터넷 산업의 공간적 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 급성장하고 있는 인터넷 산업은 서울로 집중하는 추세를 보이고 있으며, 서울내에서는 강남지역으로의 집적 현상이 두드러지게 나타나고 있다. 인터넷 산업의 업종간 상호의존적이며 보완적인 특성으로 인해 서울은 누적적ㆍ순환적인 이점을 누리면서 수위성을 높여가고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
