NETWORK INNOVATION TO ENHANCE SPATIAL POTENTIAL BORDER ECONOMIC CITY WITH A QUADRUPLE HELIX MODEL

Abstract

This research aims to study the spatial potential of border economic cities, to create a network innovation mechanism to enhance the spatial potential of border economic cities with a Quadruple Helix model, to study the guidelines for driving the enhancement of the spatial potential of border economic cities with network innovation, and to critique the study results to study policy alternatives to set as policy proposals to enhance the spatial potential of border economic cities. The study emphasized participatory action research methods with Stakeholders developing at the Phu doo International Point of Entry, using various qualitative data collection methods, including document studies, in-depth interviews, workshops, and focus groups. The study found that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a lack of stimulation for tourism and the local economy. Under the spatial potential leading to the creation of a mechanism to drive development with primary mechanisms and secondary mechanisms from the network innovation group under 4 driver issues: tourism, logistics system, research and education, and economy) 4 enablers issues: controlling the COVID-19 situation, medicine and referrals, international relations, and peace and order to create a guideline to drive the elevation of spatial potential to policy proposals to drive the development of the area into a new growth city. Developing a logistics transport system linking international border trade, creating agreements in various dimensions and developing international relations, developing a medical and referral system, and preparing for emerging disease situations.
