| Abstract |
This is the second part of our study concerning reorganization??of industry locations in Incheon City. The aim of this study is to extrapolate the spatial influence of the five leading categories of manufacturing and the related industries in connection with spatial distribution. Using regression equation based on Gravity Model, we tried to estimate Spatial Influence Index of leading categories, the result of which was analyzed to deduct the systematization tendency of the leading categories and their distribution in Incheon City. The implications of the result to the policy-making can be summarized as follow. 1) Designation of a certain industrial area as a target of relocation can possibly result in the weakening of the leading categories of manufacturing industries by letting them to lose their competitiveness. Accordingly, the policy-making should be guided by careful consideration on the characteristics of industries examined by types and regions.??2) Considering the fact that the four leading categories have reached??a certain degree of formation of interrelationship among themselves, it is recommended to reorganize the industrial location in the course of strengthening the possibility of mutual influence with the rest of the related industries.??3) If industries excluded from the leading categories are proved to be highly interrelated with them, the integration of such industries with the leading categories should be taken into consideration in the policy-making of??the industrial reorganization. |
