This study attempts to conceptualize Town MICE as a bottom-up, community-oriented MICE model that functions as an alternative growth engine for regional regeneration in depopulating areas of South Korea. Drawing partly on Jacobs’ externalities and social capital theory, this paper employs a qualitative case study of Jemincheon to examine how these frameworks operate in practice, analyzing how diversity, density, and interaction among local actors generate social and economic revitalization. The findings identify four core values—mutuality, identity, commons, and empowerment—that structure Town MICE as a sustainable local ecosystem beyond conventional top-down urban MICE models. This study contributes to redefining MICE as a form of social infrastructure that integrates place-based regeneration with grassroots innovation, offering both theoretical and policy implications for sustainable regional development.
