ABSTRACT: Creative
regions and their formation in a region depend on several factors. These
factors are effective when placed side by side and have a positive impact on
the establishment of the physical system of area. In fact, continuous and
chained activity of these factors will play an important map. The connection
between the key factors of creative region is named creative ecosystem that
starts from a point, and after a few steps becomes a creative idea. Finding
this ecosystem is particularly important in formation of the creative region.
With proper understanding, apropos analysis, and timely use of this chain,
actual and virtual potentials of region will be stimulated and pleasant result
will come out. This paper explores the creative region factors and components
that can be involved in the creative ecosystem. These factors are sometimes
fundamental and sometimes minor considered compared to the current situation in
the region. The used research method is grounded theory and in fundamental
extent, it is seeking to achieve an underlying or grounded theory. After
investigations and the results of this study, a creative region cycle theory
has been reached and is presented as a fundamental theory that is a basis for
formation of future researches. In the cycle of creative region, innovation,
social capital, creative human capital and living quality are discussed that as
the criteria for the formation of a creative region have numerous separated indicators.
