The Korea Local Administration Review

This paper explores the dynamic effects of what constructing Baekje Historical & Cultural City will bring with system dynamics approach. For this purpose, this study designed a causal map, compiling evidence from previous studies and empirical cases related to Historical & Cultural City, and it executed simplified model simulations. The simulations showed that the economic & cultural variables and political & societal variables such as conflicts among governments and those among political parties had some effects upon the economic variables like the number of tourists as well as upon the interests of residents & regional societies. They also indicated that the economic & cultural variables relatively had greater effects than political & societal ones. However, those effects were not large enough to change the trend of each other in different area, indicating that a material relationship between the political & societal area and the economic & cultural area does not exist. On the other hand, amenity and land space had a considerable effect upon the residents' participations in the political & societal area, as well as the number of tourists in the economic & societal area.
