本文目的係運用音樂產業勞動力與市場之個案研究，探究文化產業群聚與都市之象徵聯結。既有空間群聚研究多指出企業生產者為主之交易與非交易依賴之創新環境，較少強調文化產業勞動力市場及消費者市場共同形塑都市之象徵力量。本文運用品質經濟之觀點，重新理解音樂產業之勞動力市場與消費市場特性，藉此角度探究為何音樂產業持續群聚於臺北。結論上，本文提出「地方聲望效果」是一種由音樂產業群聚及都市之互動而構成，此效果形塑臺北在音樂勞動力市場與區域消費市場的壟斷地位，而地方聲望之存在如同象徵面向之地方依賴，能影響音樂產業持續群聚於臺北。透過理論討論及個案研究，本文建議文化產業之空間群聚研究，需要延伸生產者為主之觀點，重新關注文化產業之生產者與消費者關係，將有助於瞭解文化產業群聚與都市之象徵關聯。

This study explores the symbolic association between cultural industry clusters and urban environment by conducting a case study of the music labor market and consumer market. Existing research on the spatial clusters of cultural industries has emphasized that producer-centred
innovative activities can benefit from spatial proximity effects and socio-economic exchange of cultural firms. However, less attention has been paid to the role of the local labor market and consumer market of cultural industries in influencing the construction of urban symbolic
associations. Drawing on the ‘economy of quality’ perspective, this study re-conceptualizes the production and consumption of cultural industries as a duality, offering a departure point for exploring why cultural industries agglomerated in urban regions. After examining the labor pool and consumer market of the Taipei music industry, this study concludes the ‘local reputation effect’ is a symbolic association, which stemmed from the interactive relationship between music industries and urban environment, thus explaining why Taipei City has a monopoly on music production and consumption within the Chinese region as well as to attract music enterprises. This study also suggests that it is necessary to integrate the relationship between cultural producers and consumers
into existing research to facilitate an understanding of the spatial dynamics of the urban cultural industry.
