Abstract

The purposes of this paper are to examine the mechanism of the new economic spaces and to suggest directions of geographical research in the knowledge-based information society. It introduces the background of the formation of the new economic spaces and examines network, embeddedness, and agglomeration and dispersion as mechanisms of the new economic spaces. Based on the result of case studies of Kangnam area, the most active innovation region in Korea, and of Sunchang, one of the backward regions in Korea, the paper points out that new economic spaces are now developing even in the peripheral areas. Considering the result of theoretical discussions and case studies, the paper suggests three directions for future geographical research such as research from a integrative viewpoint, development of new methodologies of geographical research, and policy directed research in geography.

본 연구는 지식정보사회에서 신경제공간 형성의 메커니즘을 살펴보고 향후 지리학연구의 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 정보화 사회에서 신경제공간의 형성 배경에 대해 개관하고, 그 메커니즘으로 네트워크, 착근성, 집적 및 분산에 대해서 설명하였다. 또한 한국에서 혁신활동이 활발한 서울의 강남지역과 낙후지역 중의 하나인 전북 순창지역에 대한 사례연구를 통하여 한국의 낙후지역에서도 신경제공간의 형성이 이루어지고 있음을 지적하였다. 이러한 이론적 논의와 사례연구를 바탕으로 앞으로 지리학연구의 방향을 크게 통합적 관점에서의 연구, 지리학연구 방법론 개발, 정책관련연구의 세 가지 측면에서 논의하였다.
