This study examines changes in commercial space in Seoul from 1999 to 2016 by investigating operating periods of commercial businesses. This study finds that the characteristics of spatial changes in commercial districts are classified by the following two major points. First, the traditional CBD and Yeongdeung-po commercial districts show that both ages (survival duration) of operating commercial businesses and operating periods of market-exit businesses have changed to become longer than the average values of the two business types in Seoul. In contrast, the Gangnam and the Mapo commercial districts show that the operating periods of survived and closed commercial businesses have changed to become shorter over time. The difference suggests that survival-exit relations of businesses are closely related to the characteristics of each commercial district. In addition, this study shows that each commercial district has experienced dynamic changes in the intensity of commercial activities and the hierarchy of commercial space. Finally, this study indicates that public policies for commercial space should consider survival-exit dynamics of commercial activities in commercial districts.

In this study, we examine business start-up and closing business in a geographical context. In particular, we analyze the geographical characteristics of business start-up and closing business according to the type of industry. For the purpose, we use the last 10 years data that have been related with current economic situation since the financial crisis. In first, we identify the spatial distribution patterns of business start-up and closing business, We examine the difference between individual businesses and corporations. Finally, we construct general linear regression models and spatial regression models for them, and derive meaningful socioeconomic variables that explain their location distribution. The results of this study could provide basic data for regional planning of national and local governments that activate local economies as well as job creation.

The number of business closure is one of key indicators diagnosing the status of local economy. The increases in closure are attributed to various endogenous/exogenous factors such as decreases in sales of stores, decline of local market, deterioration of global financial condition, but it is not trivial task to figure out the cause and effect mechanism among variables. The effects of those factors are expected to show geographical variations, which the empirical analysis results in this study presented. As such, the objective of this study is to estimate the effects of variables on increase in the number of business closure and examine the distributional properties of the geographic variations of the effects among spatial units of analysis. To this end, GWR (Geographically Weighted Regression) model was utilized to draw empirical analysis outcomes. It is expected that the outcomes of the sort in this research may be useful in aiding decision-making process of drafting locality-specific policies and/or deciding where to prioritize the limited public resources available.

2011 Korean Economic Census is the first economic census in Korea, which contains text data on menus served by Korean-food restaurants as well as structured data on characteristics of restaurants including area, opening year and total sales. In this paper, we applied text mining to the text data and investigated statistical and technical issues and characteristics of Korean text mining. Pork belly roast was the most popular menu across provinces and/or restaurant types in year 2010, and the number of restaurants per 10000 people was especially high in Kangwon-do and Daejeon metropolitan city. Beef tartare and fried pork cutlet are popular menus in start-up restaurants while whole chicken soup and maeuntang (spicy fish stew) are in long-lived restaurants. These results can be used as a guideline for menu development to restaurant owners, and for government policy-making process that lead small restaurants to choose proper menus for successful business.

소상공인은 2012년 현재 우리나라 전체 사업체 대비 87.8%를 차지하는 중요한 경제활동의 원동력이다. 그러나 대부분의 소상공인 창업은 소자본으로 창업 및 폐업을 지속적으로 거듭하고 있는 실정에 있으며 소규모 기업은 많은 사람들에게 직접적인 생계수단이기 때문에 우리나라 경제에서 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 소상공인들이 소상공인 공동협업체를 위한 제조사별 제품정보 공유기반 협업 서비스 설계하고 유용한 정보를 제공하는 시스템을 보급하고자 한다. 소상공인을 위한 소상공인 공동체 협업화를 위한 시스템을 구축하여 제공함으로써 소상공인들의 경쟁력 강화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Though start-ups by small businessmen are increasing year by year, the success rate of start-ups have been low. Accordingly, it is necessary to look at various ways to improve the success rate of start-ups by small businessmen. Most previous studies on the issue have focused on identifying influential factors that lead to the success and growth of start-ups by them, mostly based upon quantitative perspectives. Few has approaced with qualitative perspective such as actual case studies in academic papers. In this study, after analyzing a wide range of successful cases of start-ups by small businessmen, we will develop countermeasures by business types and suggest practical lessons that can be appropriately utilized in starting a new small business.
