대학연구단지계획과 지역발전전략 : 충남대학교를 중심으로

대학 연구단지 계획을 지역발전 전략과 연계해 살펴본다.

The science park development strategy assumes that a region's long term economic viability will depent on its ability to generate and sustain a concentration of business capable of developing new products based on new technology. For regions faced with a high concentration of older, declining manufacturing industries Science Park have been viewed as a tool for facilitating economic restructuring through the incubation of new technology based small and medium-sized enterprises. For other regions whose economics have been performing well, investment in the new innovation capacities of new technology in science park may represent a long term insurance policy.

From the empirical evidence that is available, three ways in which Science Park can boost local economic development and increase local innovation capacity can be identified: First, Science park can encourage and facilitate the formation and growth of new businesses based upon the research knowledge and expertise available with a university or other center of research. The existence of a Science Park., near a universities encourages researchers to consider the commercial exploitation of their research and offers them an location amenable to this process. Second, science parks can also act as a catalyst for change in a region.

They often provide new sources of employment in an area of traditional industries and help to change the image of the area by demonstrating that it can create, attract and support high-tech industry. This effect may extend beyond the science park because of the opportunities created for existing suppliers to become subcontractors to the new companies, thus widening the benefits and introducing these suppliers to new technologies and skills. Third, science park can as a mechanism to upgrade the technological sophistication and added value of existing industry by providing a location where technical support can be given to local firms which manufacture and market products.

This study review the development model of science park at Chungnam National University(CNU) in terms of those three points of view. Particulary the role of CNU science park has been emphasized as one of the strategies of boosting local economic development and increase local innovative capacity from the university.
