A Study of Establishing the Plan of Lodging for the Workers of Gaesung Industrial Complex

Now that it is the current situation that the smooth supply and demand are necessary for 2nd phase of beginning construction and stable development of Gaesung Industrial Complex, this study was willing to offer the planning criteria and model to establish the lodging for the workers in Gaesung Industrial Complex based on the agreement that both South and North Korea agreed in 2007. Regarding the plan, its standard and the alternative were reviewed considering welfare of workers, economic efficiency, technical validity, possibility of agreement and long-term development. The exclusive area per capita was calculated through Labor Standards Act of Korea and status survey of lodging for the workers provided to border line area between China and North Korea and the economic alternative based on one room for 6 persons with the public restroom was compared with that of development type based on one room for 4 persons with indoor restroom. Especially regarding the proposed site, the area with the optimized position was set by considering gradient, accessibility and convenience of development out of the area of Dongchang-ri where was agreed already and the priority of the proposed site that can keep the existing building site and provide was offered. The necessary period for whole construction was set as approximately 36 months. Regarding construction method, RC Rahmen method was selected as the optimized alternative considering the workmanship of manpower of North Korea and conditions of supply and demand of materials and cluster-type vehicle allocation plan based on 4~6 units considering the efficiency of supplying service facilities and convenient facilities along the simultaneous accommodation of 15,000 people was offered. It was analyzed that total business expenses of approximately 80~100 billion Korean Won would required though there were the difference for each alternative in the charged rental way that the development business owner develops by lending the inter-Korea Cooperation Fund and withdraws the rent by the benefit principle. The possibility of withdrawing the rent was analyzed assuming that the period of withdrawing the investment is 30 years. Especially for the operation management after moving, the establishment of the committee of operating the lodging for the workers of Gaesung Industrial Complex (tentative name) was offered with the dualized governance that the constructor takes charge of operational management, collecting fees and management of infrastructure and human resource management is delegated to North Korea.

개성공단 근로자 기숙사 건립 계획 연구

개성공단 2단계 사업착공 및 안정적 발전을 위해서 원활한 근로자 수급이 필요적인 상황으로, 본 연구에서는 2007년 남북 합의문을 바탕으로 개성공단내 근로자 숙소 건립을 위한 계획기준과 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 계획안은 근로자 복지, 경제적 효율성, 기술적 타당성, 합의가능성, 장기적인 발전성을 고려하여 계획기준 수립과 대안별 검토가 이루어졌다. 1인당 점유면적 산정을 위해 한국 근로기준법과 중국과 북한 접경지역에 공급되고 있는 근로자 숙소 현황 조사를 통해 1인당 전용면적을 산출하였으며, 6인 1실 공동화장실을 기본으로 하는 경제적 대안과 4인1실에 실안에 실내화장실을 설치하는 발전형의 두가지 대안을 비교 검토하였다. 후보지와 관련하여 기 합의되었던 동창리 일원중 경사도, 접근성, 개발용이성을 고려하여 최적입지의 구역을 설정하였으며, 기존 대지형상을 유지하면서 공급할 수 있는 후보지의 우선순위도 제안하였다. 건설공법은 북측 인력 숙련도, 자재 수급 여건을 고려하여 RC라멘조 공법이 최적화된 대안으로 설정하였으며, 15,000명 동시 수용에 따른 부대복리 및 편의시설 공급의 효율성을 고려하여 4~6개 단위를 기준으로 한 클러스터형 단지배치안을 제시하였다. 사업방식은 남북협력기금을 대출받아 개발사업자가 개발하고 수익자부담 원칙에 따라 임대료를 회수하는 유상임대 방식으로 총 사업비는 대안별로 차이가 있지만 약 800억~1,000억원 내외이며, 건설기간은 약 36개월 정도 소요될 것으로 예상된다. 근로자 숙소 입주 이후 운영관리를 위해 건설사업자가 운영관리 총괄, 요금징수, 기반시설 관리를 담당하고, 인적관리는 북측에 위임하는 이원화된 거버넌스인 가칭 개성공단 근로자숙소 운영위원회 설립을 제안하였다.
