지역 인적자원의 활동특성이 중소도시 재생에 미치는 영향 분석

Abstract

In this study, the concept of small and medium-sized urban regeneration is defined as the importance of establishing a regional economic circulation structure by efficiently utilizing local resources for the sustainable regeneration of small and medium-sized cities. Based on this concept, this study examines the impact of human resource activities on regeneration projects in small and medium-sized cities and derives policy implications for human resource revitalization. An in-depth interview survey was conducted on various individuals who participated in the urban regeneration project in Uiseong-gun, Naju-si, and Chungju-si. The analysis focused on measuring the effect of improving the physical environment and restoring the business district, the process of human actors participating in urban regeneration projects. The results show that in areas with insufficient human resources, the subjects related to urban regeneration projects should participate as project implementers to increase their capabilities, and their activities can induce external human resources and support residents in other business areas. However, the job creation effects were found to be insufficient due to the lack of strategies to utilize local industrial resources or advance regional technology. This study suggests that for small and medium-sized urban regeneration, it is necessary to convert the urban regeneration project conducted only within the region to a project that can handle the entire declining area. In addition, there is a need for a plan to support the establishment of a package project that combines job and housing support for the influx of human resources, and town management cooperatives for the entire declining areas are suggested.
