Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Pattern and Determining Factors of New Industry in South Korea: Using Space-Time Cube Model

Abstract

In the past, major cities around the world have achieved rapid economic growth through manufacturing, buttoday, the industrial structure has shifted from manufacturing to service, causing a decline in manufacturing.However, as new industries based on digital technology emerge in the era of the fourth industrial revolution,major countries around the world are chasing the revival and economic growth of manufacturing throughNew Industry. As New Industry begins to attract attention, the importance of balanced national developmentthrough New Industry and the resulting location of New Industry are being raised.Accordingly, this study aims to identify space-time patterns by using the space-time cube model for 229cities in Korea from 2011 to 2020 and find out the location determining factors of New Industry for the pastthree years from 2018 to 2020. To this, Factory Establishment Management Industrial System(FEMIS) dataprovided by the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation was used, and Arcgis Pro 2.5.0 and Geoda 1.2.0 wereused as analysis tools.The analysis results are as follows. New Industry was found to be mainly hotspots in the metropolitan areaand major self-governing cities in Gyeongsangnam-do from 2011 to 2020. This indicates that New Industryis relatively concentrated in population and jobs and are trying to concentrate in places with excellent urbaninfrastructure levels. Second, the location of New Industry for three years from 2018 to 2020, As a result ofanalyzing phosphorus, it was found that general industrial areas and semi-industrial areas had a significantrelationship with the location of new industrial businesses. Third, it was found that vertical factory, industrialcomplex, and high-tech industrial complex had a positive effect on the spatial distribution of New Industryestablishments. This study analyzes the spatio-temporal location patterns and determining factors of NewIndustry establishments in 229 cities nationwide in Korea and presents policy implications for balancednational development and revitalization of New Industry in the future.
