Abstract

In the vortex of change, commonly referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Korea has a national task of changing the paradigm of economic growth from a chase-type economic structure to a leading one. The era has come when all resources of the country, as well as the government and businesses, must join in innovation and growth in order to maintain the pace of sustained economic development, and significantly advanced countries are stimulating members' innovation activities with various policies and systems as they enter the 21st century. South Korea is also making efforts to create an open creative space referred to as Makerspace or Fab Lab, to create an innovative voluntary environment for its citizens. This study explored factors that Makerspace, which is proliferating in Korea, should consider to secure development and sustainability as an innovation (start-up) space. Through prior research, openness and expertise were derived from the characteristics of Makerspace, and expert interviews confirmed that the capabilities lacking in Makerspace and the capabilities to be secured in the future are openness and professionalism. Also, specific components of openness and professionalism were presented through prior research, and implications for each subject's Makerspace were presented, such as openness, professionalism, and commercialization.

4차 산업혁명으로 통칭하는 변화의 소용돌이에서 우리나라는 추격형 경제구조에서 선도형 구조로 경제성장의 패러다임을 바꿔야 하는 국가적 과제를 안고 있다. 지속적인 경제발전 속도를 유지하기 위해서 정부와 기업뿐만 아니라 국가의 모든 자원이 혁신과 성장에 동참하여야 하는 시대가 왔으며, 주요 선진국들은 21세기에 접어들면서 다양한 정책과 제도로 구성원들의 혁신 활동을 자극하고 있다. 우리나라도 국민의 자발적인 혁신환경을 만들기 위해 메이커스페이스나 팹랩 등으로 지칭되는 개방형 창의공간 조성에 힘쓰고 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서 빠르게 성장하고 있는 메이커스페이스가 혁신(창업)공간으로 발전과 지속가능성 확보를 위해 고려해야 할 요인을 탐색하였다. 선행연구를 통해 메이커스페이스의 특징으로 개방성과 전문성을 도출하였으며, 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 메이커스페이스에 부족한 역량과 추후 확보해야 할 역량이 개방성과 전문성임을 확인하였다. 또한, 선행연구를 통해 개방성과 전문성의 세부 구성요인을 제시하고, 개방성 중심, 전문성 중심, 사업화 중심 등 대상별 메이커스페이스 별 시사점을 제시하였다.
