ABSTRACT

A community business (CB) is a business initiated by local residents, which utilizes the potential resources of a region to respond to regional problems. Currently, various projects across the country utilize this approach, but there has been insufficient discussion of policies which attempt to utilize community businesses as a regional development strategy, although some research has referred to confusion and areas of overlap with other policies. The present study suggests a local development policy plan based upon a clearer understanding of both the concept and characteristics of CBs. Through a review of the literature, this study makes policy recommendations for local development projects using CBs. A practical implementation strategy is suggested, based on the roles of CBs, such as voluntary participation by residents, resolving local problems, utilization of local resource and business activities. The case analysis focuses on a regional development project in Jeju Special Self‐Governing Province. Despite using the term community business, the project’s goals relating to CBs are vague, and there are few institutional measures relating to the usefulness of CBs. This study therefore redesigned the regional development project based on the policy design suggested in the first part of the study, in order to more effectively achieve the policy goals.
