“…Interviews allow for in‐depth discussions and follow‐up on any points made or debates raised. The sample in each location had volunteered to participate as part of an earlier survey, which was completed in March to June 2012 by 78 practitioners in Cairns and 84 in Townsville and largely focused on work patterns in the creative industries and engagement with public policy (Daniel, 2013; 2014). The interview questions in this follow‐up phase were informed by the work of Gibson, Luckman and Willoughby‐Smith (), who framed their investigation around the creative strengths, opportunities, impediments and features of the creative industries in Darwin.…”

This paper explores the concept of creativity and place as relevant to Cairns and Townsville in northeastern Australia. These two provincial cities are key to the economic and population growth of northern Australia and as such are the focus of renewed interest from all levels of government. While the creative industries sector in each location is significant, to date there has been no research specifically exploring the views of industry participants in terms of the creative strengths, impediments and opportunities across the region. Interviews with 38 creative industries participants were completed, revealing the significant benefits and challenges associated with being located in a remote tropical environment where the concept of place is strong. The interviews also reveal a number of potential growth strategies for the sector in each location that have the potential to inform policy and urban development approaches not only in the tropical north of Australia but also more broadly across the country. That is, the findings provide further evidence in support of the need for ongoing research into the particular contributions of regional and rural cities to the global creative economy.

“…Firstly, the concept of creative industry was begun in the first decade, founded by cultural theorist Landry and Florida who focus on the creative city and the creative class, 22 however, the definition of the creative industries will be constantly changing depending on where the driving force of innovation and change in the economy lies, including traditionally creative pursuits, new ideas instilled through consultancy and academia, and science and technology. 23 Recently creative industry is widely known as knowledgedriven creative economies, where creativity is a key determinant of economic growth, 24 this sector is dominated by networked clusters of small-to-medium enterprises, sole-traders and micro-businesses.…”

One significant shortcoming in increasing productivity of creative industry especially in developing country such Indonesia or other ASEAN countries is finding the appropriate technology to be used by considering the need, how to select, and technical support for the use of technology. Furthermore the lack of technology access also became an important constraint for creative industrialists to be more effective in running their business for winning the global competition. This study aim to identify the model of technology used by the developed countries to be implemented by ASEAN creative industries by doing the benchmarking study from several well-known and steady countries in implementing the optimal technology as the key to the successful global business operation. The methodology use for this purpose is using the qualitative research methods based on overviews on empirical evidence regarding the creative industries technology in developed countries, case study overview approach is built to provide a preliminary study of technology adoption in developed countries. The findings of the paper include the analysis of technology based on social, health, technological, economic, financial, institutional, and environmental consideration and constraint in implementing the technology in the creative industry. Conclusions are drawn that implementing technology in such creative industry should consider particular aspects due to its unique and specific industry characteristics. The paper closes with future research recommendations on validating the model in each of 15 creative industry categories and try to find the specificity of each category in technology consideration and standards.

“…There is however, a growing interest amongst developing countries in the potential of CCIs as new growth engines, although this has mainly been focused on urban areas (Flew and Cunningham, 2010). However, there is a growing body of literature on CCIs in non-metropolitan spaces within developed countries including the United Kingdom (Bell and Jayne, 2010) and Australia (Waitt and Gibson, 2009;Daniel, 2014;Daniel et al, 2018). The research seeks to contribute to, and expand, the scope of the literature with a developing-world, small-town perspective, following on from recent work by Gregory and Rogerson (2018) that analyses cultural industry clustering in a large South Africa city (Johannesburg).…”

Theory suggests that cultural and creative industries (CCIs) cluster in cities where levels of socio-economic development are higher and where they can take advantage of the city’s hard and soft infrastructure. However, some South African rural areas and small towns have identified CCIs as potential economic drivers. This paper investigates the relationship between the presence of CCIs in non-metropolitan spaces and levels of socio-economic development using a municipal level socio-economic status index and GIS mapping. The results show a positive relationship between larger numbers of CCIs and higher levels of development. It is suggested that a threshold level of development must be met before CCIs will cluster in an area and become a viable option for promoting local economic development.
