Abstract

The government has implemented a variety of regeneration projects for old industrial complexes and declined regions. Due to the promotion of policies and projects focused on each target place, however, there is a lack of policy linkages among them. This study intends to categorize old industrial complexes nationwide and analyze the characteristics of each type while considering industrial complexes and surrounding regions. Ten indicators are selected to implement the principal component analysis using data from the national industrial complex status, industrial location information system, and statistical geographic information system. Based on the factor score produced by the principal component analysis, the cluster analysis indicates that there are four types of old industrial complexes: large sustaining and developing complex type, small growing complex type, old declining complex type and region-linked complex type. The old declining industrial complex continues to decline due to weak economy of both the complexes and surrounding areas, and the residential environment. Industrial restructuring and industrial complex regeneration projects are needed to strengthen the competitiveness of the complexes. Regeneration strategies for each type of industrial complex is required in consideration of the physical and economic characteristics of both the complexes and the surrounding areas.
