ABSTRACT

With the rise of cultural economics in the post-industrial cities, the urban cultural strategies have been widely accepted as a effective tool for urban revitalization. However, the previous literatures have paid little attention to what factors behind cultural strategies can produce desirable consequences, and how we need to implement the strategies to make sure to generate positive impacts on neighborhoods. By adopting the research framework of the industrial cluster studies which has been developed in the economic geography circle, the paper tried to develop the conceptual model of the cultural cluster strategies and applied the idea into Daein art market in Gwangju Metropolitan city. Daein art market, a traditional market at the city center troubled with declining number of customers, is now trying to revitalize itself by harnessing the activities of local artists clustered at the market. Focused on the three factors of the cultural cluster strategies which are the sense of community, the work network and the local connections, the paper attempts to shed light on the potentials and the limitations of cultural cluster strategies in Korea.
