Abstract
This study aims to analyze the importance of activating factors in the companies operating in the free trade zone of Pyeongtaek Port by using hierarchical analytical decision making method and suggest implications according to the analysis results. As a result of analyzing the importance of the five factors, it was found that most of the companies in the free trade zone of Pyeongtaek Port were aware of the infrastructure factor (0.330), finance and budget (0.223), organization and operation (0.188), manpower (0.119) in order of importance. In detail, the expansion of the route was recognized as the most important improvement. and Manufacturing companies were judged to be a more important factor in improving the entry conditions of manufacturers and strengthening the distribution of value added. In logistics companies, the importance of manpower is higher than manufacturing companies. The implications for the results of the analysis are diversification of route in Pyeongtaek Port, improvement of the infrastructure near the free trade zone, and The need for institutional improvements. Also, in the future, we suggest the necessity of activation research for non - residents.
