Abstract

There is very high preference for the firms to locate in the Capital region, the City of Seoul and its surrounding areas, which inevitably meets diverse types of regulations to prevent over-concentration in Korea. In order to suggest an urgent need to reform these regulations, the demand for knowledge-based industries is estimated. A legit model is employed to estimate the demand of relocation of the current firms based on a survey conducted in 2001. A logistic curve is used to forecast the demand of new start-ups in Korea. The lands for industrial use only are estimated as many as 2.1 million~3.9 million pyung(1 pyung=3.3$m^2$) in nation-wide. Considering affiliate facilities and infrastructures, 3.1 million~5.9 million of industrial area should be developed in Korea for next five years. Since the rents are very high and the available land is short in the southern parts of Seoul, where most knowledge-based firms locate right now. Many firms have considered relocating on any other places where there exist a plenty of lands available and cheaper rents and cheaper wage rates, but still not far away from Seoul so that they could obtain new advanced information, skilled labors, venture capitals, and high quality of producer services. The Capital region, especially Gyeonggi and Incheon, is the only place to meet those conditions in Korea.

수도권은 기업의 입지선호도가 높고 수요가 많아 중앙정부는 오랜 기간동안 수도권정비계획법 등 다양한 법규와 정책으로 수도권지역의 과밀억제를 방지하는 노력을 하고 있다. 이 논문은. 이론적 분석을 통해 지식기반 산업의 발전을 위해서는 지식기반산업의 입지특성과 네트워크 형성의 성격에 맞는 입지수요의 충족이 필요하다고 제시했으며, 지식기반산업의 입지수요 추정모형을 제시하고 사례조사를 통해 입지수요를 분석하였다. 200l년 후반기에 실시한 지식기반기업에 대한 입지이전과 신규입지에 대한 수요조사를 기초로하여 로짓모형을 설정하였다. 분석결과, 향후 5년동안의 우리나라 지식기반산업 입지수요는 약 310~590만평인데 반해, 국토 전체의 산업용지는 210~390만평밖에 되지 않는 것으로 드러났다. 특히 서울남부지역은 지식기반기업의 입지수요는 무척 높은데 비해 가용지가 많지 않고 지가가 너무 높아, 많은 기업들이 이전을 고려하고 있으나, 정보, 숙련 노동력, 모험자본. 고차 사업 서비스 등의 사업여건이 구비된 곳은 수도권뿐임이 드러났다. 이 연구에서는 분석결과를 토대로 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다.
