AN ANALYSIS ON THE EVOLUTIONARY CHARACTERISTICS OF INDUSTRIAL DNA FROM SMART CITY PERSPECTIVES IN SOUTH KOREA

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the evolutionary characteristics of industrial DNA from a smart city perspective. Evolutionary characteristics are the structure of industrial DNA and the relationship between industries DNA cluster. The analysis results are as follows. Firstly, the structure of the smart city industry DNA has changed. The structure of the smart city industry DNA cluster investigated in 2000 as the fusion of knowledge service and IT service with traditional service industries such as public, wholesale and retail services. On the other hand, in 2019, the structure of the smart city industry DNA showed as a fusion of ITM and traditional manufacturing such as transportation equipment, machinery, and construction. This result means that the industrial structure has changed from an industrial structure for informatization of knowledge and administration to an industrial structure for smartisation of manufacturing. Second, the relationship between the smart city industrial DNA cluster and other industrial DNA clusters changed from independent to dependent. This means a change in the location of the smart city industry DNA cluster. The smart city industry DNA cluster showed an independent relationship with the traditional industry DNA cluster in 2000. On the other hand, the relationship between the smart city industry DNA cluster and the entire industry cluster was investigated as a dependent relationship in 2019. This result means that the smart city industry DNA cluster is not easy to grow independently.
