Abstract

During the years 2016 to 2020, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries embarked on a strategic initiative to develop a comprehensive Korean e-navigation system, which encompassed the establishment of an 'Long Term Evolution for Maritime (LTE-M).' The primary objectives were to proactively align with international navigation standards and enhance maritime safety for small vessels, particularly fishing boats. However, limitations were identified in the utilization of this network, primarily its constrained application for specific purposes. In response to these limitations, this study delves into user-centric investigations through surveys and interviews, with the goal of expanding the horizon of network utilization. User requirements emerged as the result of study, emphasizing the need for broader network applications, a wider range of target users, diverse network utilization methods, and regulatory streamlining. The user-driven insights gleaned from this study hold the potential to inform and shape future legislative measures, fostering more versatile and inclusive LTE-M network utilization for enhanced maritime safety.

해양수산부는 2016년부터 2020년까지 국제사회의 이내비게이션 도입에 선제적으로 대응하고 어선 등 소형선박의 해사안전 증진을 위해 "초고속 해상무선통신망(LTE-M)" 구축을 포함한 한국형 이내비게이션 구축사업을 추진하였으나, 초고속 해상무선통신망의 활용 관점에서 특정 목적에 한정하는 등의 한계점이 식별되었다. 이에 따라 통신망의 활용성 증대를 위해 사용자를 대상으로 설문 조사 및 인터뷰를 수행한 결과, 망 활용의 범위 확대, 망 활용 대상 확장, 망 활용 방식 다각화, 그리고 규제 완화 측면에서의 법·제도적 개선 사항을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도출한 사용자 요구사항을 기반으로 하여 향후 관련 법제 정비방안에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
