Gyeongin Ara Waterway will be open on Oct., 2011, Which is the first inland artificial waterway constructed in Korea. There have been arguments about the environmental issues and economic effectiveness, however, it's now time to focus on the safety of navigation at the waterway to protect human life, property and environment. Therefore this paper aims at examining the establishment of the rule of safe navigation and management for the safe and effective management of the waterway and tries to draft the rules based on these examinations. The draft rule consists of 7 chapters, which are general rules, general rules on navigation, specific rules on navigation, general restrictions, emergency response, restrictions on navigation and penalties in consideration of the characteristic of Gyeongin Ara Waterway and regulations on navigation in major canals in the world.

경인 아라뱃길이 2011년 10월 개장을 앞두고 있다. 경인 아라뱃길이 시작되는 경인항 서해갑문 입출거시 예선사용기준에 대한 연구는 선박운항의 경제성 측면에서 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다고 할 수 있다. 통상 선박의 크기(톤수)에 따른 예선의 소요마력 및 사용 척수는 대상선박의 크기, 모양, 접근수로, 부두시설의 위치 및 종류, 기타 환경조건 등의 영향을 받으며, 선체에 작용하는 수면상부의 풍압력과 수면하부의 유압력을 고려하여 규정하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내외 예선 규정 및 대상선박에 대한 예선 조종시뮬레이션을 통하여 경인항 서해갑문 입출거시 사용되는 예선의 기준을 설정하였다.

Many countries are developing transportation technologies aimed at reducing environmental pollution and the environmental burden. For example, environmentally friendly transportation routes and methods are being used to improve inland waterways in Europe. Against this backdrop, a case study was conducted on special cargo (weight cargo, earth and sand, etc.) on Korea's Gyeong-In Ara Waterway, an inland waterway connecting the Han River and the West Sea, serving a distribution function. The results of the analysis showed that coastal shipping could be promoted using the waterway, including a positive synergy among environmental, economic, and social aspects. That is, by shifting from overland transportation to marine transportation, it is possible to reduce environmental pollution, ease traffic congestion, decrease traffic accidents, and shorten the licensing period for the weight cargo demand of the northern area of the Han River. In this respect, the Gyeong-in Ara Waterway could become an environmentally friendly transportation route, promoting coastal shipping in Korea. However, for this to occur, support systems such as subsidies for marine transportation and using the inland waterway are required, as happens in the EU. Furthermore, existing policies to promote coastal shipping should be improved and applied more broadly.

Ara Canal is the first artificial canal in Korea that connects the Han River and the Yellow Sea. Due to mixture of waters with different salinity and water quality, complicated hydrodynamic and water quality distributions are expected to occur inside the canal. An integrated hydrodynamic and water quality modeling system was developed using the 3 dimensional hydrodynamic model, EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) and the water quality model WASP (Water Quality Analysis and Simulation Program). According to the modeling results, BOD, TN, TP and Chl-a concentrations inside the canal were lower at the West Gate side than the Han River side since influent concentrations of the West Gate side are significantly lower. Chemical stratification due to salinity difference were more evident at the West Gate side as vertical salinity difference were more pronounced in this area. On the other hand, Chl-a concentrations showed more pronounced vertical distribution at the Han River side as Chl-a concentrations were higher in this area. It was notable that Dissolved Oxygen concentrations can be lower than 2 mg/L occasionally in the middle part of the canal. While major factor affecting DO concentrations in the canal are inflows via both gates, the other important factor was found to be BOD decay in the canal due to extended hydraulic residence time. This study can be used to predict hydrodynamic conditions and water quality in the canal during the year and thus can be helpful in the development of gate operation method of the canal.
