ABSTRACT

This thesis aims to analyze spatial Hierarchy structure through stock and flow analysis of domestic knowledge production and determinants influencing creative knowledge production. We constructed regional data of creative knowledge production from domestic patents from 1980 to 2002 based on the address of assignee. Then, we investigated flow analysis data and constructed interregional origin-destination matrix for those patents with two or more applicants based on their addresses to analyze interregional interaction via social network analysis. Periods of analysis were divided into five 5-year time zones as follows: the early 1980s, the late 1980s, the early 1990s, the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The results from this research are as follows: upper order regions came to be different when finding them via the knowledge production index and via the interregional network index. Classifying the national domain into spatial hierarchies with only one index, it would exhibit a possible drawback in spatial policies. Implementing the spatial hierarchies of domain upon the union of these two indexes, each period of the last twenty years or so could be divided into five different hierarchies. Jung-gu and Gangnam-gu of Seoul formed the first hierarchy in the early 1980s whereas Suwon made the first hierarchy and Gangnam-gu, Seocho-gu and Yeongdeungpo-gu of Seoul and Yoosung-gu of Daejon the second hierarchy in the late 1990s. Such data imply that the spatial hierarchies changed from the centralized hierarchy structure of Seoul to the one of Seoul, Gyeonggi Province and Daejon. In this research spatial structure analysis displayed constraints in comprehensively analyzing spatial distribution characteristics and spatial hierarchies via stocks of certain variables towards spatial activities as the previous studies.
