Can regional collaborative innovation improve innovation efficiency? An empirical study of Chinese cities

The relationship between collaborative innovation and innovation efficiency has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. However, few studies have integrated intra‐regional and inter‐regional collaborative innovations (IRCI) into a unified framework to analyze the overall impact of regional innovation efficiency. To fill this gap, this paper uses an improved Data Envelopment Analysis Model to measure the innovation efficiency of Chinese cities from 2003 to 2016 based on the regional innovation capability. Using the Coupling Coordination Degree Model to measure the degree of intra‐regional collaborative innovation, we constructed a Capability Structure Model to measure the degree of IRCI, then used the Spatial Durbin Model to empirically analyze the influence of intra‐regional and IRCI on regional innovation efficiency. The results show that: (a) both intra‐regional and IRCI promote regional innovation efficiency, but the internal factors are the primary influences on regional innovation efficiency; (b) intra‐regional collaborative innovation not only promotes local regional innovation efficiency but also promotes innovation efficiency in other regions effectively, although its driving effect on the local region is higher than on other regions; (c) there is a time lag in promoting regional innovation efficiency through the cooperation and interaction among innovation in knowledge, technological, industrial, and service, and environment capabilities. The regional innovation capacities can result in good collaborative innovation effects only after a certain period of cooperation.

“…The reinforcement of regional and community participation in the policy-making process can reflect local experiences in urban design and affect the outcome of urban regeneration. Participation opens up opportunities for planners to settle in the community, builds significant trust, and helps in understanding the community in the process of urban regeneration [9]. Since the type of community participation varies and unexpected side effects would occur depending on the detailed participation environment, the practice of community engagement should be accompanied by sophisticated policy design [12].…”

Perception Difference and Conflicts of Stakeholders in the Urban Regeneration Project: A Case Study of Nanluoguxiang

2021

While specific strategies and action plans, such as community engagement, partnerships, and social networks, have been vastly explored in light of the growing significance of collaborative governance in urban regeneration projects, there is little information on the differences in the perceptions of stakeholders regarding collaborative governance. This study analyzed the differences in the perceptions of local governments, residents, merchants, and urban planners, all participants in the urban regeneration of Nanluoguxiang, China’s representative urban regeneration project. The main results of the study are as follows. First, the perception of participations’ roles and the importance of collaborative governance are significant differences between stakeholders. Second, if they have insufficient knowledge of the functions and significance of other participating groups, diverse conflicts can occur in the process of urban regeneration. Third, since various conflicts between participants could play a crucial role in the delay the urban regeneration projects, urban planners require coordinators and mediators to enable smooth project progress.

“…Since the 1980s, projects for reconstruction and redevelopment in South Korea have invested where surplus profits were a guarantee [1]. However, it is not only that such gentrification ousted tenants and dismantled a sense of community [1,2]; the priority in surplus profits also overlooked-if not caused-blighted neighborhoods with insufficient funds and measures to maintain amenities and infrastructure [3]. The reparative shift for urban development came in 2007 when the national government announced its goal "to build a living city," which would later anticipate the "Special Act on the Promotion of and Support for Urban Regeneration" of 2013, for revitalizing the welfare of declining communities [2,4].…”

Social Network Analysis of the Jangwi Urban Regeneration Community

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The administrative turn to urban regeneration in South Korea prompts an examination into the social aspects of sustainability for project areas. This retrospective study used social network analysis (SNA) to compass the 2015–2018 formation of Jangwi urban regeneration community, with average degree, centralization, and efficiency for network level and degree for individual level. The study aimed to identify the network’s structural characteristics in terms of relationships and social linkage. Average degree results note a rise in social exchange (2015: 0.609; 2018: 4.060), while the 2018 centralization value (<0.5) and community efficiency indicate how such network communication is dependent on key influencers. Introduced is a visual and quantitative analysis method for community networks that may warrant urgent attention in the field of Korean urban regeneration, as it provides potential strategies for governments and administrations to accomplish sustainable and strategic goals.
