“…Early studies take a negative view of DSTP (Castells and Hall, 1994;Jeong and Park, 1999;Kown, 2000;Park, 2000), claiming that its spatial agglomeration of R&D activity facilitated no scientific networking and synergy and thus no milieu of innovations or linkages with the manufacturing sector. However, recent studies (Hwang, 2004;Oh, 1995;2002;Oh et al, 2005) highlight the emergence of innovative spin-offs in the high-tech field from DSTP.…”

“…Many regions in developing countries have attempted to replicate the DSTP experience. DSTP is widely regarded by both Korean policy makers and scholars to have contributed to the country's technology and industrial development as a national R&D hub as well as a high-tech enclave for scientists, but it has remained a high-amenity island isolated from the Daejeon region (Hwang, 2004;Jeong and Park, 1999;Kown, 2000;Oh, 1995;2002;Park, 2000). However, DSTP has recently been reinvented by the state from a national R&D hub to a regional R&D cluster, thereby reflecting more regional attributes.…”

This study examines how the Daedeok Science and Technology (S&T) Park, built as a national R&D center, has evolved over time from the perspective of a complex adaptive system. We argue that the Daedeok S&T Park-a planned park exhibiting pathdependent, self-reinforcing trajectories led by the government-has gradually evolved over time, undergoing some tension between nationalizing and regionalizing forces instead of encountering an imminent and radical transformation through the replication of a new model each time. The state's role is highlighted as a creator that ironically leads to the process of the planned park's evolution toward a more cluster-based park by strengthening regional actors' capabilities and changing the structure of governance. The study contributes to the literature on S&T parks by providing an in-depth analysis of an S&T park from an evolutionary perspective, and not from a typical static evaluation, and is based on archival analyses and case studies of ten firms as well as on in-depth interviews with key actors.

“…Nevertheless, authors such as Castells and Hall (1994), Oh (1995), and Hong (1997) have argued that the DSP did not create enough local spin-off effects. This was true until some years ago.…”

In 1973, the Korean government initiated a plan to establish a major high-technology research complex, called Daeduck Science Park (DSP). The Ministry of Science and Technology (MST) designated 27 square kilometers of land in Taejon, a city of 1.3 million people (1999) for the creation of the park. By 1998, the DSP had grown to host some 60 institutions employing about 12,000 scientists and technicians, and approximately 5000 support staff. This research note reviews the process involved in developing the DSP, evaluates the outcome of the project, and suggests policy alternatives. Data used were collected from a planning project and from interviews with officials of the MST and the DSP Management Office. It can be concluded that the plan for the DSP was successfully implemented and the guidelines contained in the original plan were well observed. Some problems that emerged in the earlier stages, such as a lack of local economic benefits and political input, are now being corrected. The DSP does provide adequate working and residential environments for those who work for the research and educational institutions that contribute to the advancement of the nation's scientific and technological research.JEL classification: O32, R11, R58

“…Asian countries frequently use strategic investments, typically by central government, to develop technology-based clusters or cities to serve as growth engines for regional development. Science parks are generally perceived as local or regional growth centers (Bass 1998;Oh 1995). Through public investments in science parks, both industrial advancement and local development of related industries and businesses are promoted.…”

The Hsin-Chu Science-Based Industrial Park (HSIP), established in 1980, has made significant contribution to the development of Hsinchu technopolis. In the past three decades, not only the population structure and industrial patterns have changed significantly, but also a special knowledge-based industrial network has been developed. The 30 years experience of HSIP development provides an excellent opportunity for planners to review the long term impacts of science park development. This paper will review the evolution Hsinchu technopolis in areas of socioeconomic transformation and knowledge interactions between technology community and industrial clustering. In addition to the interpretation of its development by prevailing theories, critical factors influencing the future development of HSIP technopolis will also be discussed in this paper.
