Development Zones in Asian Borderlands' maps the nexus between global capital flows, national economic policies, infrastructural connectivity, migration, and aspirations for modernity in the borderlands of South and South-East Asia. In doing so, it demonstrates how these are transforming borderlands from remote, peripheral backyards to front-yards of economic development and state-building. Development zones encapsulate the networks, institutions, politics and processes specific to enclave development, and offer a new analytical framework for thinking about borderlands; namely, as sites of capital accumulation, territorialisation and socio-spatial changes

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning, Izmir, 2004 ; Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 85) ; Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and English ; xi, 89 leaves ; Technology and information make up the most important means of strength in today.s competition for world leadership in economy and politics. With know-how in production, countries obtain a hedge in competition.The concept of .Science Park., .Research Park. or .Technopark. represents different meanings for the organizing committees and managers, and the size and requirements of countries. Whatever the meaning, contrary to .Industrial Parks. or .Free Zones., .Technology Development Zones. carries a totally different definition, with its high value contribution to the national economy through Research and Development (R&D), and supports universities in education and research facilities and rapid knowledge transfer to industry.Despite its economic instability, Turkey has obtained a strong position in the world economy as a developing country. The global economic scenario and Turkey's industrial development show an increase in the R&D functions within firms that want to achieve a competitive position in global markets as well as in the requirement for innovative developments. Technology Development Zones have an attribute that provides an effective platform for interaction between universities and industrial organizations.The aim of this research is to determine design principles of Technology Development Zones defined with The Law numbered 4691, by a contemporary point of view; and to design Izmir Technology Development Zone with respect to these principles.For this purpose, the subject was approached from two different points of view: one being the definitions and legal differences in understanding and defining the concept, the other being requirements and capacities that are being investigated by surveying the existing examples. Although, the case-study area effects national economy in general, more emphasis will be given on industry- university relationship in Izmir because of its location, a pre-research investigating the site on all viewpoints was done for utilizing the site.s potential in max level.

AbstractWhile suburban areas have been typically related with urban sprawl, low density, cheap land price and low‐end manufacturing industries, relatively little attention has been paid to the spatial organization of innovation in suburban areas. In some Chinese cities, development zones (kai fa qu) in their suburban areas which are generally regarded as major spaces for traditional manufacturing industries have been transforming into spaces for innovation. This paper provides a case study of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province in Eastern China by investigating and explaining the learning and innovation processes in suburban development zones. Drawing upon a unique database on 733 state‐certified high‐tech firms in Nanjing from 2008 to 2012 which contains detailed information on their addresses and number of patents, we observe strong spatial disparity in the distribution of innovation. Suburban districts of Nanjing where its three national‐level development zones and many provincial‐level development zones are located have become major spaces for innovation of the city. The planning of industrial clusters in development zones, the place‐based investment in the suburbs, and the suburbanization of universities are three major mechanisms behind the learning and innovation processes in Nanjing's suburban development zones.

The decline in the share of labor income is associated with rising income inequality, which raises a series of economic and social problems. These problems seriously threaten the sustainability of economic development. To maintain sustainable economic development, China&rsquo ; s government has invested hundreds of billions of dollars to build economic development zones by attracting high-tech enterprises into the zones. In our paper, we aim to analyze whether the construction of economic development zones can effectively increase the share of labor income. We use PSM-DID (Propensity Score Matching Difference-in-Difference) to evaluate the impact of establishing economic development zones in China on the labor income share of enterprises in economic development zones in 2006. We found that the establishment and construction of economic development zones increased the share of labor income through the &ldquo ; agglomeration effect&rdquo ; and &ldquo ; policy effect&rdquo ; . Estimation of the level of heterogeneity among economic development zones shows that, compared with provincial economic development zones, the construction of national economic development zones has a greater effect on increasing the labor income share of enterprises in those zones. Economic development zones in the eastern, central, and western regions should also increase their share of labor income areas.

In this paper territoriality is studied in the context of contemporary spatial development theories and practices in the European Union (EU). Primarily, territoriality is examined as a strategy for governing spatial development, and the focus is on the relationships between different modes of territoriality and governing. Territoriality is conceptualized bounded, networked, and fluid territory, and this is indicated in practice with examples of regional development zones (RDZs) in Finland. Potentially, RDZs could be tools to link the current territorial concepts of EU spatial development and poststructuralist spatial planning theories into practices for governing spatial development. Fluid territories—characterized by flexible boundaries, policy integration, and 'governance of governance' – emerge in spatial development theories and strategies. However, it is challenging to find proper tools for implementing them in practice. A broader consideration of agency, participation, and bottom-up development are crucial for fluid territory and its governing.

A series of semi-structured interviews was conducted as part of the EirWind project in order to explore the opportunities for and barriers to the development of offshore wind in Ireland. A total of 15 interviews were conducted, 9 with Industry and 6 with Policy influencers. Industry interviewees were senior representatives of companies within the EirWind consortium. Policy influencer interviewees were drawn from the EirWind Expert Advisory Group, these were senior civil servants from across the departments of Housing Planning and Local Government, the Department of Communications Climate action and Environment and a representative of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). The document presents a summary of these interviews without commentary or analysis. It is hoped that this approach will provide a clear and impartial snapshot of the nascent Irish offshore wind energy sector which can be used to facilitate informed discussions with key stakeholders.
