This paper aims to understand the changing characteristics of the Kumi region as a locality in Korea through the regional geography of the world-system approach. To illustrate the changing regional characteristics, we analyzed the economic characteristics or position of the Kumi region within the world-economy and its spatial structure with three divisions of Korean capitalist periods: the Japanese colonial period ($1910{\sim}1945$), the social chaos period ($1945{\sim}1960$), and the economic development period ($1960{\sim}$present). In the Japanese colonial and social chaos periods, as Korean society was incorporated into the peripheral zone within the world-System (world-economy), Kumi also was made into a peripheral agricultural area. As a result, the Kumi region shaped the rural spatial structure without an urban center or regional dominant center. In the development period, influenced by the manufacturing-centered economic policy which boosted Korea as a semi-periphery within world-economy, Kumi also was developed into an industrial region(or semi-periphery) with the establishment of the Kumi electronic and textile industrial complex. This industrialization transformed the rural spatial structure of Kumi into a core (urban center)-periphery (rural area) structure. As we identified above, the regional geography of the world-system approach turned out to be a useful methodology to study a locality or internal region. Therefore we should make efforts to study such regions through the regional geography of the world-system approach.

This paper aims to analyze the process of the evolution of Gumi electronics industrial cluster and to understand the role of governments for local industrial dynamics. Gumi was a typical satellite platform type new industrial district up to mid-1990s. At that time, Gumi industrial park was the agglomeration of branch plants headquartered in Capital Region with weak local linkages. During the last two decades, however, Gumi has evolved to an electronics industrial cluster with considerable local interfirm linkages and innovation activities of SMEs. Recognizing government industrial policies is critical in understanding the process of the evolution of Gumi electronics cluster. At the early stage, the state was the developer and locator of business activities within the confines of the Gumi industrial park. In recent years, central government's innovative cluster policy contributed to strengthening networks among firms, universities, and research centers to form local innovation networks as well as networks between large branch plants and SMEs. Gumi city and Gyungsangbuk-do promoted innovative activities of SMEs through the supports of cooperative networks between universities and SMEs. The increasing roles of SMEs and local governments in addition to the large branch plants and the central government have become the basis of the evolution of industrial cluster in Gumi.

This study analyzed the changes in the industrial environment surrounding the Gumi region and the status of the industrial crisis in the Gumi area amid such changes. The Gumi region is experiencing a more turbulent period than ever in the environment changes at the international, national and local levels, such as the transition to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the weakening of the competitiveness of key industries including mobile devices and displays, and the moving-out of core companies such as Samsung and LG Group. Accordingly, efforts have been made to diversify the industrial structure by fostering industry of automobile parts, high-tech medical devices and carbon materials to cope with and adapt to environmental changes at the regional level. However, the Gumi region is still locked in to the mono-cultural, large enterprise-dependent industrial structure centering on the mobile and display sectors, failing to overcome the regional industrial crisis and stagnating the overall local economy. The relocation of large companies began to increase in the 2010s, reducing the protection of large corporations against environmental changes at the corporate level. As a result, the crisis factors of small and mediumsized enterprises are gradually expanding to the national and international scale and working more complexly, which is beyond the level they can afford. So it is highly likely that the current industrial crisis will deepen. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the resilience to adapt to changes in the environment when it comes to overcoming the industrial crisis in Gumi region. To this end, it is necessary to improve innovation capabilities and diversify businesses based on convergence and complex technologies at the enterprise level, and to be selected as a special crisis response area aimed at creating an innovative ecosystem through autonomous resonance of companies and industries at the local level.

국내 시설원예 면적은 2005년 기준 52,022ha에 달하고 있으며 약 23%에 해당하는 12,000ha는 겨울철에 난방기를 가동하여 원예작물을 생산하고 있다. 농업용 난방기의 보급은 가온재배 면적의 증가와 더불어 급신장하고 있어 농업용 면세유 중 경유 공급액 약 9,260억원 중 62%에 해당하는 1,350,000톤이 시설원예 난방에 사용된 것으로 추산되고 있다. 지속적인 유가 상승으로 시설재배 농가의 경영이 악화되고 있어 최근 히트펌프를 이용한 냉난방시스템에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 시설원예 냉난방에 사용되는 히트펌프의 열원은 다양하게 적용할 수 있으나 강변에 위치하고 있는 시설원예단지의 경우 연 중 풍부한 유량과 안정적인 수온을 얻을 수 있는 강변여과수는 매우 매력적인 열원이다. 본 연구에서는 시범지역으로 남강댐 하류에 위치하고 있는 진주지역의 시설원예단지와 낙동강 유역의 구미지역 시설원예단지의 두 곳에 대하여 1일 $1,000m^3$의 강변여과수 개발에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 육안 및 현장여건에 대한 조사를 수행하고 인근 지하수 사용현황에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 진주지역의 경우 일부 농가에서 지하수를 사용하고 있었으나 1일 8~10시간 취수에 최대 취수량은 약 $120m^3$ 정도였다. 반면, 구미지역의 경우 1999년 구미첨단원예농단 조성사업의 일환으로 양액재배에 농업용수를 공급할 목적으로 지하수 개발이 실시되었으며 최근 인근 국화축제를 개최하는 지역에서 신규로 지하수를 개발하여 사용 중이었다. 전기비저항 탐사를 실시한 결과 진주지역은 지하 약 6~17m 지점에 대수층이 존재하는 것으로 판단되었고, 구미지역은 지하 약 10~20m 지점에 대수층이 존재할 가능성이 있지만 지하 20m 지점부터는 대수층의 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 두 지역에 각각 두 공을 시추하여 조사한 결과, 구미지역의 경우 수면높이가 지하 약 10m이고 각각 2.5m와 4.6m의 모래자갈층을 형성하고 있어 $1,000m^3$/일의 취수량 개발이 원활하지 않을 것으로 판단되었다. 한편, 진주지역은 수면높이가 지하 약 3m이고 각각 3.5m와 6.5m의 모래자갈층을 형성하고 있어 $1,000m^3$/일의 취수량 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 현장 시추조사 및 기존관정 조사결과, 구미지역에 비하여 진주지역이 지하수 물량 확보가 상대적으로 용이하고 신규 굴착 가능지점이 다수 분포하고 있어 연구지점으로 활용하는데 유리할 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 진주지역에 여과수열원 확보를 위해 2곳의 양수관정을 설치하고 히트펌프를 이용하여 시설원예의 냉난방을 실시할 예정이다.

In this study CALPUFF modeling was performed to establish a correlation between regions of frequent civil odor complaints near Gumi national industrial complex and odor-emission facilities of synthetic fiber manufacturers in the same area as main acetaldehyde-emission point sources. As a result of the CALPUFF modeling, the maximum concentration of acetaldehyde in Gumi national industrial complex was reduced from O ($10^{-5}g/m^3$) to O ($10^{-6}g/m^3$) upon improving emission facilities of T company so that the maximum concentrations of acetaldehyde frequently appeared in complex 3. In addition, the predicted range of the maximum acetaldehyde concentration in Gumi national industrial complex was also improved in comparison with that prior to improving emission facilities of T company. These maximum concentrations of acetaldehyde obtained to estimate the expected contribution of total acetaldehyde point source by CALPUFF modeling showed the similar values to those measured in 'HAPs investigation in the region of Gumi-Daegu' and were consistent to the trend of civil odor complaints. Therefore, the expected contribution of total acetaldehyde point source was validated. The relative contribution of T company upon improving its emission facilities was predicted to be lowered by more than factor of two, compared to that prior to improving its emission facilities. To the contrary, the relative contribution of W company upon improving emission facilities of T company was predicted to be increased by more than factor of two, compared to that prior to improving emission facilities of T company. This indicates that the contribution of aldehyde point sources of W company was relatively increased upon improving emission facilities of T company.

2년 전인 지난 2012년 9월 27일 경북 구미4공단에 소재한 휴브글로벌에서 불화수소가 누출되는 사고가 발생했다. 이 사고로 근로자 5명이 사망하고 23명이 부상을 당했다. 사고 후 불화수소가 공기를 통해 대량 퍼지면서 인근 지역도 막대한 피해를 입었다. 사고는 안전관리측면에서 많은 허점을 드러냈다. 사업장은 물론 관할 소방서, 구미시 모두에서 화학사고에 대한 대응 매뉴얼과 협조체계가 제대로 구축되지 않아 피해의 확산을 막지 못했다. 너무나 허술한 화학사고 대응체계의 현실에 구미시민은 물론 전 국민이 분노했다. 이에 정부는 화학물질관리 및 사고대응 시스템 전면에 대한 대대적인 개선에 돌입했다. 그리고 그 결과물이 지난해 12월 초 모습을 드러냈다. 관계부처, 지자체, 소방당국, 안전보건공단까지 한데 모여 효과적인 화학사고 예방과 대응을 전담하는 화학재난 합동방재센터가 전국에서 처음으로 구미에 문을 연 것이다. 그로부터 반년이 흐른 지금 구미에는 어떤 변화가 생겼을까. 달라진 화학재난 안전관리체계를 확인해보고자 구미119화학구조센터를 찾아가봤다.
