“…The industry or creative occupation is a productive sector related to management workers and consultants in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and the occupations of the cultural goods and social services development industry (Dursun, 2018;Zandiatashbar and Hamidi, 2018). It fits the concept of the knowledge economy because it depends on a population with a high level of education (with education being a determinant for income) and has information access as an asset for success (Moos, Revington et al, 2019).…”

“…Knowledge-based or creative companies located in urban centres generally operate with immaterial services; their agglomerations are influenced by easy access to information, with spillovers of knowledge and innovation made possible through greater networking opportunities (Dursun, 2018;Zandiatashbar and Hamidi, 2018;Zandiatashbar, Hamidi et al, 2019a;Zandiatashbar, Hamidi et al, 2019b). This takes advantage of what Florida (2014) called externalities of human capital.…”

Relationships Between Walkable Urban Environments and the Creative and Knowledge Economies

Currently, many urban planning projects have sought to apply sustainable strategies, with a special dedication to mobility. International guidelines indicate a focus on pedestrians and their integration with other active and collective transport modes, discouraging car use. Conceptions of transitoriented development (TOD) see cities strengthen walkable environments around public transport stations, which provide several benefits. Around the world, there has also been a shift from a commodity-based industrial economy to a knowledge-based economy. TOD environments are seen as having the potential to attract young workers, generating jobs in creative and knowledge economies. However, criticism arises regarding the possibility of real estate valuation and consequent gentrification with the consummation of these planning practices. Considering positive and negative aspects, the objective of this paper is to provide a brief literature review of the impacts of urban transformations dedicated to stimulating pedestrian mobility, with an emphasis on their interplay with the knowledge-based economy. There is no focus on methods, rather on concepts and interpretations regarding how processes occur in spatial dynamics. Reviewing case studies from the USA, Australia and China indicates correlation between the amenities characteristic of walkable environments and the creative and knowledge sectors. Negative effects for start-ups or smaller capital companies are apparently related to the cost of real estate. With the understanding that gentrification tends to be inherent to the dynamics of urban requalification, public policies and planning actions are suggested to manage gentrification and minimise its problems.

“…12-13. Some authors consider that "it is very difficult to provide sustainable development in those cultural industries because of their dynamicity" (Dursun, 2018: 2 [34]). In the context of internationalisation and globalisation, the following paradox is encountered: creative industries are called to intensify the global economic system; yet, they lose their uniqueness and creativity under the conditions of global unification that touches economic, as well as cultural and political, sides of the unified system.…”

Environmental Sustainability of Creative Economy: Evidence from a Lithuanian Case Study

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of the undertaken study is to investigate the sustainability of creative economy and present a case study providing the main findings on the linkages between creative economy and sustainable development. The in-depth literature review of the creative economy and sustainable development offered the main insights in the development of the case study hypotheses. A case study on the biggest music festival that was organised in Lithuania is provided. The findings confirm that creative economy can be environmentally sustainable, and the customers identified their clear preferences for sustainability criteria in music festivals; however, not all these preferences are properly addressed by the organisers of cultural events, as it was revealed by this case study. The results of a quantitative study show that the festival participants are increasingly expressing the need for sustainable music festivals, but organisers have not yet taken the necessary actions to address this need. It is likely that, in the near future, the festival organisers in Lithuania will have to start applying various sustainability criteria during the festivals in order to attract more visitors and generate more income from such events as well to ensure environmental safety. The practical implications of conducted study are equally important for all stakeholders, such as the community, policymakers, companies, and regulatory agencies that are concerned with the implementation of sustainable development practices.

“…Furthermore, potential positive effects from SEZs can be created through industrial agglomeration. The great success in places such as Third Italy, Baden-Wurttemberg, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood shows the role of industrial agglomeration through increasing productivity (Dursun, 2018). companies tend to cluster because Industrial agglomeration reduces the costs of transporting goods, labour, and ideas (Marshall, 1920;Niu, Liu, et al, 2018).…”

This study examines the causal effect of the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (SEZ) on the economic growth of Simalungun Regency, North Sumatera using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM). This study uses macro data at the district/city level in Indonesia. The counterfactual in this study was built using a synthetic control unit derived from data from 290 regencies/cities in Indonesia from 2006 to 2020. The results of the analysis conclude that the existence of the Sei Mangkei SEZ has not yet had an economic impact on the economic growth of Simalungun Regency. This finding contrasts with most previous studies which have found that SEZs positively impact the economic growth of the host region. The Sei Mangkei SEZ has not yet had an impact because currently, the utilisation of land and the search for new business actors who are expected to invest in the Sei Mangkei SEZ are still below the target.
