The New York and New Jersey Port Authority defines its organization as the 3rd government body. Public facilities, for example, seaports and airports will be more appreciated if they can be ...integrated into people’s daily lives with participative management by the citizens. The U.S. port and city management is a good model for effectively matching both public mind and business practice from the glo-cal (global and local fusion) perspectives. Our field research of the 7 U.S.A. ports and cities conducted by the Murayama Research Office at Chukyo University found the American way of success in the area of (1) Port and City Integration, and (2) New Public or New Business Management Development. These new concepts can be categorized with the broader meanings of PFIs (Private Financial Initiatives) , PPPs (Public and Private Partnerships) , and Concessions which Japan now has to improve and export. This research has contributed to both public and private sectors by recommending the Glo-cal Management Strategies with “New Public” Management Views on public infrastructures and international businesses, especially in Nagoya, Chiba, Yokohama and other areas in Japan. The theoretical foundation to pursue this research is based on the paradigms that: 1) functions merge with environmental changes and 2) civilization dynamism is invigorated with cultural diversities.
본 논문은 지역의 역사적인 맥락을 중심으로 인지문화경제의 발전으로 이어지는 궤적을 살펴보고, 이에 따른 공간적 변화 및 문화 사회적 변동을 ‘글로컬라이제이션’이라는 주제로 관찰하고 함의점을 알아보고자 한다. 이때 특히 최근 창조경제에서 중요한 ‘문화콘텐츠’분야에 집중하고자 한다. 오늘날 대두되고 있는 ‘창조성’은 이미 오래전부터 공간·경제·사회문화적인 ...변화의 관련성과 깊은 연관을 맺어왔다고 할 수 있으며, 이것이 ‘인지문화경제’라고 하는 새로운 경제체제로 변화하기 시작했다고 할 수 있다. 이는 경제지리와 지역발전에 깊은 영향을 미치게 되며, 특히, 지역발전을 주도하게 된다. 이러한 맥락에 따른 문화변동의 특징은 재현과 이미지의 해석 등 추상적인 담론에서, 지역단위에서 실제적으로 일어나는 프로젝트로 등으로 대변하게 되며 보다 구체적인 특징을 지니게 된다. 더 나아가 글로컬라이제이션 시대의 지역발전의 가능성은 한류와 같은 문화콘텐츠를 통해 확인할 수 있다. SNS 등과 같은 현대 미디어의 환경은 서로 소통하는 공간의 기능뿐만 아니라 로컬 단위의 콘텐츠를 전 세계로 확대할 수 있는 역할을 담당하면서 공간을 확대시키고 있다. 향후 글로컬 콘텐츠의 보다 높은 가능성을 위해 공간과 지역의 연계 강조, 다양한 주체들의 유기적인 연계와 활성화, 로컬 단위의 발전성을 담보하기 위한 인프라 구축 등의 주기적인 노력이 수반되어야 할 것이다.
This study aim to do observation to 1) Trajectory of cognitive-cultural economy growth withregional historical context, 2) Spatial, cultural and social change caused by cognitive-culture economygrowth, and 3) Draw the meaning of the change in glocalizational view. They said that ‘Creativity’ hasbeen related with spatial, economical, cultural and social change and it leads to new economical system,what we call ‘Cognitive-cultural economy’. It is the important event which is to affect economic geographyand local development greatly. New cultural changes are characterized by variations from abstractdiscourse to concrete reality and show the emphasis on real project specific in the region. Further more, possibility of local development in the glocalization found in the specific form of cultural content, for example, Korean Wave. New media environment changes that include SNS function not onlyinteract each other in space but also expand the scope of local units and cultural content to the world. In order to enhance the further development of local content, it will require conjunction with space andspecific region, variety of organic link between the principal participants, and building infrastructure forfuture development.
The study examines local responses to globalization, with Cebu as a case in point. It describes the initiatives of the business, export, and ICT sectors in adjusting to global demands. Manifestations ...of glocalization are indicated in the increased role of local players, intensified global-local linkaging, and the translocal and decentralized nature of responses by government. Attendant issues and challenges concerning Cebus glocal experience such as, persistent poverty and increasing inequalities are also discussed.
Sustainability focuses on the question whether our planet can sustain the present and future global human impact. The related environmental issues and particularly global changes, such as increasing ...temperatures, rising sea level, deforestation and deteriorating biodiversity, have become a key subject in earth science research. The social and economic components of sustainability, however, get less scientific attention and are often ignored in political and religious circles. Emphasis is on the symptoms of the issue rather than on coping strategies. Are the growing population numbers and social discrepancies compatible with sustainability and is the free market economy of our consumption society compatible with the ecological limits of growth, social balance and human aspirations? Sustainable development is a realistic concept only if its economic aspects are shouldered by social and environmental considerations and if regional and local diversity is respected. The globalization required today thus should be coupled with decentralized glocalization. In this interdisciplinary field of regional differentiation geography can make important contributions. Earth observation from satellites and data handling using geoinformation systems are essential tools.

Cultures are manifested physically as people transform their landscapes in distinctive ways and expressed socially through how people behave and interact. When certain cultural landscapes and ...cultural behavior patterns become valued, particularly by powerful and/or majority groups within a society, such expressions of culture come to be seen as part of that society's heritage and thus as something that needs to be preserved, maintained, and revered. Processes of economic, technological, and social change unsettle what were once relatively stable and localized patterns of heritages and cultures. In response to these processes, many people seek to preserve, and frequently succeed in preserving, aspects of their cultures and heritages in a dynamic, diasporic, and increasingly globalized world. Both cultural groups, and the various levels of government face growing spatial, temporal, and social challenges in protecting, preserving, and mediating between heritages in the multicultural societies, resulting from the globalization of economies and popular cultures and widespread international migration. Geographers consider ecological, historical, and political processes when studying the environments from which cultures and heritages emerge, and within which they are constantly transformed.
This paper attempts to explore the common theme of the issue “How is theory formation possible?” in terms of the case study of the articulation of comparative modernization theory and glocalization ...theory. One can grasp comparative modernization theory and, as its fundamental principle, functionalism from the view-point of the theory classification proposed by Funabashi (1982) and Kosaka (1998). Recently, however, it is said that the combination has been destructed (Sato 1998). It has been a long while since sociologists have discussed the multiplicity of the fundamental principles of sociological theory. To a certain extent, however, multiplicity is a built-in component of the discipline. Meanwhile, as a de facto phenomenon, new and attractive “guidance (sensitizing) ideas” (such as globalization, risk society, and so on) have been successively studied by many sociologists. This paper attempts to delineate the process of the theory formation in terms of actual esquisse or exercise in the articulation or combination of comparative modernization theory with glocalization theory as an attractive “guidance idea.” The following points summarize the core conclusions of this paper. (1) Regardless of the fundamental principles involved, it is advisable to suppose the existence of reciprocal movements between theory and empirical research and that these movements involve a helical development. It is significant for glocalization theory to be articulated with comparative modernization theory, which is a foundational proposition (or a middle-range theory) that is considerably more grounded in empirical studies. (2) The articulation process involves the internal transformation of both theories (the reconstruction of both comparative modernization theory and glocalization theory). (3) This articulation can sometimes prompt the reconstruction of theoretical tradition (which, in this paper, refers to human rights that go beyond citizenship in the glocalized world).
