Abstract

The port is a space where maritime transport and land transport intersect and is an essential industrial infrastructure for international trade. Therefore, it has a very important function in the national economy. Although the space and the physical facilities of a port are important, it is also very important to efficiently manage and operate these port infrastructures. The government introduced the Port Authority System to strengthen the efficiency and professionalism of port management operations. Since the port authority systemis based on port autonomy, the independence and autonomy of the port authority are very important in port management and operation. Nevertheless, the Port Authority is not functioning properly because the government interferes excessively with the operations of the Port Authority. Therefore, it is suggested that the legal system should be improved to strengthen the autonomy of the Port Authority (PA). This study examines the perception of the legal system that needs to be improved to strengthen the autonomy of the Port Authority, and suggests policy measures for Port Authority workers, civil servants, port companies, and civic groups.

해상운송과 육상운송이 교차하는 항만은 국제교역을 위한 필수 산업기반시설로 국가경제에 대단히 중요한 기능을 갖는다. 항만이라는 공간과 물리적 인프라도 중요하지만, 항만 인프라를 효율적 관리운영도 그에 못지않게 중요하다. 정부는 항만관리운영의 효율성과 전문성을 강화하기 위해 항만공사제도를 도입하고 항만공사를 설립하였다. 항만공사제도는 항만자치를 본질로 하기 때문에 항만공사의 독립성과자율성은 항만관리운영에 있어 대단히 중요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 항만공사의 운영에 정부에 지나치게 간섭하고 있어 항만공사의 기능이 제대로 발휘되지 못하고 있다. 항만 관련 법제도의 개선이 필요하다는 지적이 꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 이에 항만공사 종사자, 공무원, 항만기업, 시민단체 등을 대상으로 항만공사의 자율성 강화를 위해 개선되어야 할 법제도에 대한 인식을 조사하고 정책방안을 제언하였다.
