초록

두만강은 하천규모는 작으나(약 $33,000km^2$), 상${\cdot}$하류 국가간 많은 갈등 요소를 안고 있음에도 변방이라는 지리적 특성으로 각국의 중앙정부로부터 정치${\cdot}$사회적 관심의 대상이 되지 못했다. 1990년대 들어 UNDP등 국제적인 관심이 집중되면서 이 지역의 수자원 문제해결을 위한 대안들이 제시되었으나 국제하천관리의 문제해결에 있어 가장 중요한 국제협력체계의 확고한 구축이 미흡한 것으로 평가되고 있다. 특히 제도, 관리체계 및 기술적 대안이 필요한 국제하천관리의 기본원칙이 고려되지 않은 채 국가간 외교력에 의존한 접근방법이 한계를 맞고 있다. 본 연구에서는 두만강 수자원 관리 문제점들을 완화시키고 발전적인 전략적 대안 마련을 위하여 국제하천 문제해결의 합리적 방법으로 받아들여지고 있는 "제한적 영토주권"을 바탕으로 포괄적, 단계적인 접근방법을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 유사 사례분석을 통해 두만강에 적용할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였으며, 연안국간 평등성(equity)이 달성될 수 있도록 국제적인 협력네트웍의 기본 틀을 제시하였다.

The Tumen River basin is relatively small(${\approx}33,000km^2$), it has many potential conflicts between the riparian countries. Especially, until recently, it could have not drawn the socio-potitical attention from its central governments because of the geopolitical unique characteristics as edges of mainlands. since 1990's the various plans have been suggested for resolving the problems in this area as an international attention from, e.g UNDP, began to be given. However, the international cooperative structure has not been established in systematic way which has paramount importance. In the research, based on the problems identified in the previous paper, the necessities for independent unit, so called 'Tumen River Watershed Management Commission' were suggested for holistic and hierarchical resolution in accordance with integrated management and international river based on 'limited territory sovereignty' which is a general principle in international river management. For this purposes, hierarchical problem solving approach which consists of 3 phases were developed. They include major objectives and behavioral guidelines for achieving equity between riparian countries based on international cooperation and integrated watershed management as fundamental concept. In conclusion, rational plan for future water use, management and primary framework of Tumen River for international cooperation were composed and strategic approach for the North-East Asian community foundation was suggested.
