江原道是韩国的一个前煤矿区，面临着严重的经济衰退和快速的人口外流，它选择开发一个赌场来振兴经济，稳定不断减少的人口。十多年来，尽管这一扩张战略带来了一些积极的影响，但人口继续下降，该区域的相对经济地位没有发生根本变化。本文利用访谈、实地考察、公司报告和其他相关来源的信息，探讨了赌场发展对该地区的影响。本文的结论是，一个设计良好的制度结构的发展战略，可以确保长期的利益流向该地区，但一个成功的项目是不够的，以阻止经济和人口下降，如果关键问题是民族起源。需要一个考虑到国家区域战略的规划模式、确保利益留在区域的机构和地方可持续方案。
A South Korean former coal mining region, Gangwon Province, faced with a severe economic downturn and rapid out-migration, chose to develop a casino to revive its economy and to stabilise its shrinking population. More than a decade on, in spite of some positives from this expansionist strategy, population decline continues with no fundamental change to the relative economic position of the region. Using information from interviews, site visits, company reports and other relevant sources, this paper examines the impacts of the casino development on the region. The paper concludes that a development strategy with a well-designed institutional structure can ensure long term flow of benefits to the region, but a successful project is insufficient to arrest economic and population decline if the key issues are of national origin. A planning paradigm that takes into account national regional strategies, institutions that ensure benefits remain in the region and locally sustainable programmes are required.
