Abstract

 This study aims to extract the key factors influencing the development of EIPs by collating the relevant literature on industrial symbiosis, particularly those that have focused on their interrelationship with Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs), and subsequently develop an analytical framework that enables international comparison. In order to verify the applicability of the analytical framework, this study examines three EIPs, one from the Kitakyushu Eco-Town in Japan and two from the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area and the Tianjin Ziya Economic Technological Development Area in China. The study positioned the three EIPs based on the classification of the strategies and measures of the management ministry and the actual situation of the EIPs; the symbiotic state of the three EIPs was clarified by the visualization of the symbiotic relationship of the stakeholders based on the stakeholder map. The results highlight that strategic interventions and support from the state, the autonomies (local governments), and the management at the EIP level (management boards), as well as measures formed by autonomous organizations within the park, play an effective role in industrial symbiosis, and the results clarify that these are effective for industrial symbiosis.
