International Comparison and Implementation of Slow City Success Determinants: The Case of Damyang Slow City, South Korea, and Seferihisar Slow City, Turkey

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Utilising the Slow City approach to achieve sustainable rural development has been gaining prominence in South Korea. This paper presents a comparative study of two representative Slow Cities, Damyang in South Korea, and Seferihisar in Turkey. We first reviewed Slow City literature to identify and thematically group determining factors for successful Slow City implementation. The determining factors were applied as a framework to analyse the two Slow City areas and implementation strategies were developed for Damyang Slow City. We identified fifteen factors which fell into five themes: “The Local”; “Slow Tourism”; “Quality of Life”; “Resident and Cooperation and Participation”; and “Organisational Level”. The determining factors were applied to the two case study areas as a framework to compare the two Slow Cities and the following strategies suggested for Damyang Slow City: Two short term strategies are suggested: residents should receive training to take on the role of educators, empowering them to work alongside the master craftsmen and local experts who previously conducted the education; at an organisational level, linkages between the residents’ consultative group, administration, and experts should be formalised. Two medium term strategies are suggested: specific, enforceable standards should be developed for Slow City branded products and local residents should be trained in the field of quality assesment; apprenticeship programs should be developed and implemented to allow young people to train as master craftsman Two medium and long term strategies are suggested: appropriate tourist programs, to be implemented in the medium and long term, should be developed; future infrastructure design should remain true to its ‘ancient future, village of stonewalls and old houses’ ideal; and construction efforts should specifically reflect this.
