미국의 금리인상에 따른 국내 금리 상승 압박과 정부의 잇따른 부동산 규제, 집단 대출 심사 강화 등 금융대출 조이기로 부동산 시장이 '봄 같지 않은 봄'을 맞고 있다. 더구나 5월 9일 조기 대통령선거를 앞두고 정국불안과 경제 불안정 등으로 매매와 분양시장도 활기를 띠지 못하고 있다. 지난 3개월 동안 분양 실적이나 청약경쟁률도 지난해에 비해 떨어졌다. 부동산 시장 불확실성이 높아지고 있다는 방증이다. 이에 따라 투자자나 실수요자 모두 기대감을 낮추고 옥석을 가리는 안목을 갖고 부동산 시장을 들여다 봐야 한다는 지적이다.

새해가 밝았지만 건설 업계의 불안감은 더욱 가중되고 있다. 경제불황으로 그나마 살아 있던 주택 수요마저 얼어붙었다. 결국 정부는 경기 회복을 위해 각종 부동산 규제를 푸는 등 초강수를 두고 있다. 지금은 미국 경제의 회복 같은 외생적 변수들의 긍정적 시그널이 필요할 때다. 주택시상 연착륙을 위한 방안을 모색해 보자.

The purpose of this study is to determine a national construction industry's competitiveness and establish strategies to expand into overseas construction markets. To evaluate the international competitiveness of overseas construction businesses, this study were selected as the target range of international comparisons among the countries cited by ENR, Global-Insight, IMF, OECD, and Transparency International. In result the United States ranked first, followed by China $2^{nd}$, Italy$3^{rd}$, U.K.$4^{th}$, and Germany $5^{th}$, while Korea ranked $9^{th}$ overall. In particular, Korea's competitiveness in the construction infrastructures by country ranking($11^{th}$) was higher than the competency assessment results of construction companies by country, therein ranking $12^{th}$. In addition, while Korea ranks $12^{th}$ among 22 countries, $3^{rd}$ in price competitiveness, $12^{th}$ in construction competitiveness, and $19^{th}$ in design competitiveness.

올 가을 안에 미 뉴욕에 있는 미국 연방파산법원의 판사 한 명은 연초에 재무상의 위기를 벗어나는 데 실패한 유수한 역사의 원전기업 웨스팅하우스의 운명을 결정짓게 될 것이다. 그 결정은 한 기업의 파산 이상으로 매우 중요한 의미를 가지는데, 그것은 서방 세계가 우리에게 위협이 되는 핵의 확산과 기후 변화라는 두 가지 문제를 해결하는데 주도적인 역할을 할 것인지, 아니면 세계 원전시장의 주도권을 러시아에 넘겨줄 것인지를 의미하는 것이다. 한국의 KEPCO는 UAE 등 해외의 공사를 포함, 원전을 예산과 공기에 맞춰 건설하는 것으로 명성을 얻었다. 그러나 최근에 새로 선출된 한국의 대통령은 지난 2011년 발생한 후쿠시마 원전 사고로 생긴 국민들의 두려움에 대한 대응책으로 탈원전 정책을 추구하고 있다. 만약 이 정책이 성공하게 된다면 자국 내의 원전 건설 기자재 공급 체제가 없어지게 되고, 그에 못지않게 중요한 외국의 신뢰마저 잃게 됨으로써 한국은 세계 원전시장의 경쟁 구도에서 퇴출될 것이다.

This study examined the trend of international competitiveness over the past 10 years (2011-2020), focusing on comparative analysis with China and the United States, targeting seven major export items of Korean construction machinery based on 6 units of HS code. To this end, the export similarity index and trade competitiveness index were calculated and analyzed using UN Comtrade and Korea International Trade Association trade statistics. As a result of the analysis, competition between Korea and China has intensified over the past decade, and competition with the United States has remained at a certain level. Korean forklifts (8427.20) are exporting to the world with strong competitiveness in the global market. Excavators (8429.52) and loaders (8429.51), which have the largest export share of Korean construction machinery, have a weight advantage, but they are exporting due to price inferiority. The rest of the items were found to be inferior in price and weight, and were not competitive in the global market. These analysis results suggest the following implications. First, it is necessary to strengthen efforts to expand exports of universal construction machinery items, which are expected to increase in demand in the future, by boosting the economy and expanding infrastructure investment in accordance with eco-friendly policies. Second, excavators, which have been shown to have a quality advantage and a price competitive advantage, need to further strengthen export marketing activities not only in China and the United States but also in emerging developing countries.

Lowering threshold value of construction services is extremely sensitive issue to the small and medium enterprises in construction industry. Because it means opening the construction markets where the small and medium construction companies compete intensely. Nevertheless, it is absent that the analysis on the effect of opening the market lowering threshold value of construction services under Government Procurement Agreements or Free Trade Agreement. This research is to analyze the effects of lowering threshold value of construction service which have been agenda repeatedly in the international agreements such as WTO and FTA. The current threshold value of construction services of Korea under WTO GPA are 5million SDR where the government delivers and 15million SDR where the local government or the public institution deliver. However major parties to an entente such as USA and EU have been demanding to lower threshold value of 15 million SDR where the local government or the public institution deliver to 5million SDR. The analysis figure the effect of this lowering threshold value to be a market reduction by 2trillion Won as '07 fiscal year basis. This market shrinkage will effect to the small and medium construction companies in local considerably.

Plant construction industry is a high value-adding industry because it is complex industry comprising engineering, procurements of equipments and construction. So, Revenue increase in overseas plant projects would boost up not only domestic construction industry but also growth of national economy. Recently, overseas plant-construction market is expanding dramatically. For instant, Middle-east countries are constantly increasing their orders for the construction of petro-chemical plants stimulated by sky-rocketing oil prices. The purpose of this research is to develop management techniques for plant projects such as work break-down structure, knowledge management system, logistics & procurement system, and risk assessment tools. We believe our research would contribute to the competion of Korean engineeing companies and contractors in overseas plant-construction market.

우리나라는 건물 냉난방에 연간 250조원에 이르는 에너지를 수입하고 있다. 비용도 엄청나지만 에너지 자원의 확보도 갈수록 어려워지고 있다. 미국과 유럽에서는 2030년까지의 지열 보급계획을 수립, 국가별로 건물 냉난방에너지의 20~60%까지를 지열로 대체한다는 계획을 추진하고 있다. 우리나라도 에너지절약 의무화제도, 그린홈 100만호제도, 시설원예사업 등 다양한 정부정책을 추진하고 있다. 그러나 민간부문의 참여가 없으면 에너지절감 효과는 극히 제한적일 수 밖에 없다. 제2 롯데월드에서 지열시스템 도입한 것은 우리나라 지열시장의 수준을 한 단계 레벨업 시킬 것으로 예상된다. 본지는 코텍엔지니어링(주)가 수주한 제2 롯데월드 지열냉난방시스템 공사에 대해 알아보고, 앞으로 시공과정을 자세히 보도할 예정이다.

As the further development of economic globalization and the continued opening up of international construction markets, many of the countries are faced with more and more severe domestic and international construction market competition. It has been a focus question of all the countries and regions that how to achieve maximal profit in the international construction market, but construction claims are growing into a stumbling block to the project participants to reach their expected goals. Thus, the management of construction claims is considered as the greatest challenge that is facing constructors in today's vacillating business environment. Recently, many of the methodologies have been developed for the construction claims to overcome these current problems, but compared to the developed countries there is still a big gap in some Asian countries, such as China and Korea. This paper attempted to investigate and compare the project claims system in these two countries to figure out the common points and differences.
