Abstract

Future prospects for the North Korean construction market created by reunification of the Korean Peninsula has consistently been recognized as highly promising. Although rehabilitation projects of the deteriorating construction facilities in North Korea are expected to serve as new source of growth engine to South Korea in future, the status quo of each infrastructure in the North are described verbosely with signs of subjective translation. There has been limited approach on depicting the condition and performance of the North Korean facilities based on quantitative and systematic approach. Thus, this study has been conducted under a twofold purpose. First, this study proposes a performance indicator for identifying the status quo of the major construction facilities in North Korea based on a quantitative approach. Second, this study applies the developed indicator to visualize the results on the conditions of each facility in the form of a report card. This expected to serve as a basis on determining the appropriate level of the construction infrastructure in North Korea and estimating the range of rehabilitation projects along with the investment cost.

북한 건설 인프라 재건사업은 남 북한 경제협력 초기 단계에서 급격한 수요증가가 발생될 것으로 예상되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 북한 건설 인프라에 대한 현황 분석은 과거 시점을 기준으로 이루어져있을 뿐만 아니라, 정성적인 접근을 통해 장황하게 서술되어 있는 경우가 대다수이다. 북한 내 건설 인프라 시설물별 구축 현황 및 노후화 진행 정도 등에 대한 일관된 평가 체계가 부재함에 따라 인프라 현황에 대해 신속한 적정 수준 판단 및 향후 재건사업의 범위 및 규모 등에 대한 선제적인 의사결정 수립이 어려운 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우선 북한 건설 인프라의 기능 및 노후화 정도 등과 관련된 구축 현황 정보와 운영 실태를 파악하기 위한 평가 요소를 체계화하고, 인프라의 적정 수준 평가에 활용될 수 있는 성능지표를 제시하고자 한다. 그리고 둘째, 평가지표를 기반으로 북한 개별 인프라에 대한 구축 현황을 신속하게 판단할 수 있는 적용 방안을 리포트카드 형태로 마련하였다. 본 연구의 결과인 성능지표 및 리포트카드 기틀은 향후 북한 건설 인프라의 구축 현황 및 향후 투자범위 등에 대한 의사결정에 기반을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
