“…Specific factors for regional knowledge management were studied well in the past. For example, knowledge as a key component of a region's development [18], [19], industrial development in the peripheral regions on the basis of knowledge management [20] and formation of knowledge infrastructure for the purpose of developing a region's innovative activities [21] are components of the triple helix, interactions in the space of institutional areas [1].…”

In the conditions of the development of the digital environment, innovative activities become a priority area of economic development that draws not only substantial material and financial resources but also human capital. The existing models designed to assess innovative activities in a region do not give an assessment of conditions for innovative activities. The study aims to develop methods for the assessment of conditions for innovative activities in a region based on a complex consideration of knowledge management factors that allow determining priority areas of regional policy in the digital environment. With regard to the study problems, the authors used a set of basic general scientific methods: comparison, analysis, synthesis, systemization, formalization, statistical estimation, economic mathematical modeling, methods of verifying the reproducibility of the models used on calculation examples. The model presented in the article allows the authors to evaluate the very conditions of innovative activities from the position of knowledge management factors in the conditions of the digital environment. The model's practical application makes it possible to define priority areas for the development of the innovative sector. This, in turn, promotes the formation of the digital environment. The study results have been tested on the example of Russian constituent entities.

“…This qualitative 3P1C framework has been partially applied in a study investigating knowledge assets in the context of Tampere Region, Finland (see Lonnqvist et al, 2014). The research aimed to explore how the relevant knowledge assets can be identified for a given region and to describe what the context-specific knowledge assets are.…”

This paper aims to develop a comprehensive approach to innovate urban policymaking and planning to successfully deliver the knowledge-based agenda. The paper, first, examines the concept of knowledge-based urban development, which has become a popular urban development policy and strategy in recent years, through a comprehensive review of the literature. It, then, introduces and discusses a novel methodological approach for effective policymaking and planning mechanism to deliver the knowledge-based agenda of cities. The paper, with the proposed methodology, brings together urban policymaking and planning approaches, and introduces a novel way to assess knowledge-based urban development achievements and potentials of emerging and prosperous knowledge cities. The paper, thus, provides an invaluable instrument to inform local and regional decision and plan making mechanisms to deliver their knowledge-based agendas and help them in moving towards building their sustainable knowledge cities.Keywords: knowledge-based agenda; knowledge city; policymaking and planning; knowledge-based development; KBD; knowledge-based urban development.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Yigitcanlar, T.

“…In essence, this approach takes the view that knowledge is a key construct for understanding the means and modes of urban development (Yigitcanlar 2009), with an explicit focus on identifying the knowledge assets of urban environments (Kunzmann 2008;Lönnqvist et al 2013). Consequently, the starting point for this paper is the argument that the development path of a city economy is dependent upon the quality of the urban innovation system it possesses and the knowledge based assets within it.…”

“…At the urban and city level the notions of 'knowledge cities' (Carrillo 2004;Carrillo 2006;Yigitcanlar & Velibeyoglu 2008) and 'knowledge-based urban development' (Knight 1995;Knight 2008;Kunzmann 2008;Yigitcanlar & Lönnqvist 2013;Yigitcanlar 2009) have emerged as a means of examining in a systematic manner the role of knowledge and networks as key components of urban economic evolution. In particular, the knowledge city concept takes a broad view of knowledge as a key construct for understanding the means and modes of urban development (Yigitcanlar 2009), with an explicit focus on identifying the knowledge assets of urban environments (Kunzmann 2008;Lönnqvist et al 2013). The knowledge city and knowledge-based urban development schools of thought encompass the knowledge construct within a framework that seeks to integrate the economic, social, and environmental assets and factors underpinning development (Yigitcanlar 2009;Yigitcanlar 2010).…”

The Spatio-Relational Nature of Urban Innovation Systems: Universities, Knowledge Intensive Business Service Firms, and Collaborative Networks

The need to better identify the spatio-relational nature of urban innovation systems and spaces is increasingly acknowledged. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to provide an enhanced understanding of the knowledge networks existing between urban Knowledge Intensive Business Services firms (KIBS) and universities, which are often key components of such systems and spaces. Drawing on an analysis of urban KIBS firms and universities in the UK, it is found that the nature of firms, the location in which they are based, and the research intensity of their university partners are important determinants of the spatiality and localisation of the networks they form. The results show that the smallest urban KIBS firms have the highest propensity to engage in local links with universities, suggesting that they rely most significantly on their own urban innovation system for collaborative network ties.
