Revitalization Of Local Economy Research Articles

지역경제활성화를 위한 지역과 거점LCC의 전략

This study discussed the roles of, and the relationship between, LCC and regions in revitalizing local tourism. The convergence of tourism and aviation has been positively perceived by local and central administrative agencies because the revitalization of local economy via revitalization of local tourism influences improving the local jobs, finance, residents’ lives In particular, aviation plays an important role in the influx of tourists because it connects the bridge between the tourism subjects and objects. Therefore, we approached this study with the ’how and why’ perspective to explore the positive synergy effect between LCC and local tourism. For this purpose, we selected the successful case of Jeju Island and Jeju Air as a research subject. We applied Yin(2014)'s case study methodology and collected data from the relevant literature and press releases from October 2019 to September 2020. Our results showed that Jeju Air's regional airport base reduced the burden of transportation fares and contributed to vitalizing Jeju Island tourism by stimulating tourists' motivation to visit the island with the establishment of infrastructure. Further, we additionally noticed that the beautiful natural environment, which is one of the strengths of Jeju Island, has an interactive role in our framework; that is, for the positive synergy effect between the region and LCC, it is necessary to possess, discover, and nurture tourist attractions in the region. In conclusion, from a long-term perspective of planning and implementation, the region and airlines are required to have a firm commitment and mechanisms for co-prosperity on the premise of this codependency.

Recognition Difference of Local Residents and National Park Managers on National Park Adjustment: A Case of 37 Cancellation Areas

This study examined the recognition differences between local residents and national park managers on the adjustment of national parks which are conducted every ten years for the purpose of providing basic information for the park management, according to the Natural Parks Act. Both local residents and national park managers positively perceived the adjustment of national parks, but park managers showed concern towards the damage of natural resources resulting from the cancellation and adjustment of restricted development districts in Korean national parks. Local residents are more likely than park managers to recommend boundary adjustment in other national parks regarding the influence of parks adjustment on local change. While local residents recognized that the boundary adjustment of national parks improves the level of community management, park managers focused on damages on the local environment and the park landscape adjacent to the areas. The result shows the recognition differences of local residents and park managers. Further research into adjustment of national parks is necessary to diminish perception gaps among stakeholders and develop prediction indicators of cancellation effect in response to the future cancellation areas of national parks through the characteristics of cancellation communities, revitalization of local economy, and environmental change of local community.

The impact of social tourism for seniors on the economic development of tourism destinations

This paper suggests a framework for assessing the economic relevance of social tourism programmes for tourism destinations, based on two simultaneous approaches: an analysis of the stakeholders’ perceptions of the economic impacts and a quantitative assessment of the impacts on the national economy. This framework was applied to a Portuguese social tourism programme directed at the senior market. A survey of supply agents (N=220) was carried out to analyse the stakeholders’ perceptions of the Programme impacts. An integrated model, including a senior survey (N=1000) and an input-output model, was used to estimate the total economic impact of the Programme on output, household income, employment and Value-added. The supply agents surveyed perceived considerable positive impacts of the Programme on their companies regarding profitability, employment, occupancy rate in the low season, loyalty and attraction of new consumers. They also perceived important positive impacts on local communities regarding decrease of seasonality, diversification and revitalization of local economy. The quantitative assessment also revealed high total economic impacts (direct, indirect and induced) of the Programme on the national economy. Finally, some suggestions to maximize the economic benefits of social tourism programmes for tourism destinations are presented.

ABSTRACT : This study postulates a partial mediation model(study model I) and a whole mediation model(study model II) to examine the effect on endogenous rural development of local innovation capability strengthening in the local industry promotion project, the establishment of promotion system, and the revitalization of local economy. To accomplish study purposes, 169 response samples from 85 project groups which drive the local industry promotion project were verified using SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 5.0. The results showed that in the partial mediation model, the local innovation capability strengthening had a significantly positive effect on the establishment of promotion system, the establishment of promotion system had a significant effect on the revitalization of local economy, and the revitalization of local economy had a significant effect on the endogenous rural development, while the establishment of promotion system and local innovation capability strengthening didn’t have effect on the endogenous rural development. In the whole mediation model, the local innovation capability strengthening had a significant effect on the revitalization of local economy, the establishment of promotion system on the revitalization of local economy, and the revitalization of local economy on the endogenous rural development. According to the verifications of study model I and II, the endogenous rural development is achieved after the revitalization of local economy through the establishment of promotion system and the local innovation capability strengthening. From these results, this study presents suggestions, limits of study and directions in the future study.

Methodological Study on Development Planning of New City Core Area in the Development Master Plan of Local City

Recently, local cities are required to respond to the changes of the society, such as, urbanization, verification of needs and the increase of service industry. These problems occur due to the differences of population and economy among cities. On the other hand, people's needs for leisure activities are still active in spite of the deflation. In consideration of these situations, local cities located near large cities have the potential to provide the place to satisfy people's needs for leisure activities by utilizing the advantage of accessibility, abundant natural and historical resources. Thus, the development of local cities, such as, the increase of inhabitation and revitalization of local economy, is considered to be achieved by the construction of leisure facilities and development of urban functions to renovate the living environment. In this study, development plan of new city core district utilizing the dead space is suggested, and the planning model is formulated to evaluate the development project.
