responds by extending their roles. Accordingly, the structure of pure science city
has developed into that of techopolis of regional innovation cluster among the
agents of innovation in RIS (see Fig.

Evaluation: Environmental Sustainability
In terms of sustainability, we can evaluate the development features shifted from
DST to Daedeok Innopolis in the following aspects. Integration with mother city,
which has been made through the structural change of Science City enables
technopolis development and its mother city, Daejeon, for the future. The problem
of limited development of a high-tech sector in DST could be resolved by
establishment of a new high-tech industrial park called DTV. This is very positive
for economic sustainability. However, the huge expansion of technopolis site
including venture parks near DST could give negative impact on environmental
dimension of sustainability. The expansion of self-help establishment of small
venture parks near DST must be carefully controlled to protect the environmental
sustainability. However, the negative influence can be solved through the strate-
gies of compact city development, which will target regeneration projects of inner
city areas of conventional industrial parks with eco-industrial park planning
concepts. In addition, the supply of housing and urban facilities in the mother city
can save further expansion of technopolis site in the current greenbelt area
(Table
2
).
In conclusion, the structural change of DST gave the positive effect for sus-
tainable development not only for science city but also its mother city. Only the
expansion of venture parks around DST must be controlled by careful land use
strategy to protect the environmental sustainability in Daedeok Innopolis.
4.2.2 Activity: R&D and Industrial Activities
R&D
DV is a host to a concentration of 21 Government Research Institutes including
ETRI, 10 public research institutes, and 40 private research Institutes.

ETRI led the world's first ever commercialization of CDMA and has been instrumental in
developing DRAM technologies. More recently, ETRI successfully developed WiBro (Wireless
Broadband Internet) and DMB (Digital Mobile Broadcasting) which are fast proving to be next
generation IT industries. Other prominent research institutes including the Korea Atomic Energy
Research Institute, which successfully produced localized atomic fuel, are part of our complex as
well. Daedeok Innopolis is also home to the Korea Aerospace Research Institute which developed
